Horrible ScEHE AT THE CoURr OF PERsrA.-
The young Shah has been passing the holy month
of Ramazan, which happens tks year to coincide
with the dog days,in spacious garden not far from
leheran. The envoy OF great Christian Sover-
egn having demanded an audience of his Majesty,
an honr was appointed for the ceremony. His Elk
celiency, on arriving in due the royal en-
campnent, was ushered into tent where he re-
posed for moment, while his arrival was announced
to the Mohammedan successor of Varius and Xerx
es. Scarcely had he taken seat, when his ears
were assaied by the sound of repeated heavy
blows mingled with the most piteous cries Of ter
ror and agony. Scarcely had he time to compre-
bend that grand public execution was the
cause OF these distressing sounds, when he was
seiZed by the Shah's attendants, and hurried for
ward to the Royal presence On his passage
greater and more revolving shock awaited him. EN-
ecniioners dragging the yet palpi'a,ing trunks of
eight headleSs Victims tecapiiaed before the Shah,
met him in his path, and rudely showed him aside
10 make way for their hldeous train of carnage and
mutllation. On reaching the Court circle, pale, ag-
ltated, and confused he remained for some seconds
in an attitude Of SPECIFICS horror The Shah with
an air OF composure which would have done him
honor on the field of battle, enJuired if tho envoy
was unwel and then, for the first time. i'm Ian
guage OF just Indignation, learned what even the
most despotic Court of Europe would think of the
bloody and barbarous reception just given to lis rep
resen'ative. Besides the appearance of insult Of
ferod TO friendly Sovereign, ligh, shade Of odi-
um was cast upon the throne, when thus converted
from seat OF Judgment and mercy into the sham
bes ola butcher 1t is rumored that the KING of
kings, abashcd by well deserved repyoof, hung
his head in the silence of youthful shame and that

the Prime Minister, received the consong assur-
ance that he had probably earned By twenty min
ues ofannoyance, the satisfaction of putting an end

BE gentle ! for you little know
How many trials rise;
Although TO thee they may be small,
; - TO her of giant size.
BE gentle ! though pcrchancc that lip
May speak n murmuring tone,
The heart may beat with kindness yet,
And joy TO be thine own.
Be gentle. weary hours of pain,
Ills woman's lot to bear;
Then yield her what support thou camst,
And all her sorrows share.
BE gentle for the noblcst hearts
AT times may have some grief,
And even in a pcttIsh word
May seek to find relief
Be gentle for unkindncss now
May rouse an angry storm
That all the after years of life
In vain may strive TO calm.
Be gentle none arc perfect
Thou'rt dcarcr far than life.
Then, husband, bear and still forbcar-
BE gentle 10 thy wife.

We shall ever be found, we hope, on the side Of
right and principle, and while we cherish the best
feelings towards disappointed individuals, and
would that their aspirations might be gratifed to
the full, and the good Of the country at the same
time promoted, IT is not for us to stop and fan the
Same Of mere individual and personal opposition.
BY so doing should prove recreant to the great
Wing party, and violate principle. This we will
never do knowingly. Personal inconvenience and
personal pique must give way to the public good.
While know that human nature is the same
everywhere, we should be very sorry to know that
the love Of Wing principles among those who pro-
fess TO be governed by them, did not qualify and
subdue and override the craving for office TO a far
greater extent than has been manifested by that
party who live under and approve to the fullest ex-
tent the motto, "To the yictors belong the spos I"
With no higher object in view than this the sooner
an individual cherishing such a sentiment goes over
to the enemy, the better will II be for the Wing
party.
While we have endeavored to act on the general
principle Of promoting the good Of the Wing party,
and while we have brought ne trailing accusa-
tons' against any individual member Of it, there is
no ground for us to apprehend any ultimate dam
age from the most scrutinIzing criticism Of our
course, however unfair that criticism may have
been. Wrong motives may be, and have been, at
trIbuted us but long as we know the object of
action, and feel a consciousness of the rectude
of our course, as we do, we know that the Wing
cause viii experience no dctriment at oar hands.
All we wish in the matter is TO the Wing
party unit. IL shall not be our fault If il is not
such Whatever personal sacrifice we may be
called on TO make to accomplish this, will most
cheerfuly and unhesitatngly be made When
every Wing can honestly make the same declara-
ton the thing is accomplished-the unii is formed
So mote it be.
