Interesting Discoveries I'm Persia.

We have had the pleasure of listening to a
letter written in Persia to gentleman in Dos-
ton, which gives an account of some recent
and interesting discoveries in that county,
The writer is scientific gentleman of the
highest standing,an American, and one whose
position in Persia is pledge of the correct
ness of his details.
The line between Persia and Turkey has
not been defined with that exac tness which
peace and security demand and soldier have,
by both Governments, been placed upon the
disputed territory to defend the rights of Tur-
key and Persia. And for many years, the
soldiers have been in the practice of coming
into collision. To avoia this bloodshed, and
settle definitely the boundary line between
the nations, England and Russia have induc-
ed Persia to consent to a mixed commission,
which should embrace England, Russia and
Persia. That commission is now engaged in
establishing the line between Bersia and Tur-
key. Col. Williams, well known TO MANY
Americans, and a man of character and tai.
ent, is the English commissioner
In the prosecution of this work. the com,
missioners have come upon the remains of the

locality answers to the received tradition of
its position, and the internal evidence, arising
from its correspondence with the description
of the palace recorded in the sacred history.

der can turn to Esther, cb. I. " 8. There he
will read of a pavement OF red, and blue, and
white, and black marble in that palace That
pavement still exists, and, as described by
Col. Williams corresponds to the description
given thus in the sacred history. And in the
marble columns, dilapidated ruins, the sculp-
ture, and the remaining marks of greatness
and glory that are scattered around, the
read the exact truth of the
record made By the sacred penman. f
Not far from the palace stands tomb; on
it is sculptured the figure of man bound
hand and foot, with a huge lion in the act of
springug upon him to devour him. No his
tory could speak more graphically the story of
Daciel in the Lions Den.
The commissioners have with them an able
corps of engineers and scientific men, and
most interesting discoveries may be expected.
The Persian arrow heads are found upon the
palace and the tomb. Glass bottles, elegant
as those placed upon the toilet table of the
adies of our day, have been discovered, with
other indications of art and refinement, which

quently passes like cloud over the spirits
1t comes upon. the soul in the busy hustle of
life, to the social circle in the calm and silent
retreats of solitude. L powers are alike su-
preme over the weak and on-hearted. At
one time, it is caused by the flittering of sin
gle thought across the mind. A sound will
come booming over the ocean of memory,
gloomy and solsmn as the death-knell over
whelming all the bright hopes and sunny
feelings of the heart. Who can describe it I?
and yet, who has not felt its bewildering in

and, like cloud dimming the sunshine on the
river, although causing a momentary shade
of gloom, it embraces the beauty Of returning
brightness.

Lesson from Real Life.

One, two, almost three weeks have elapsed
and found me without q subject. l have
wandered wildly, almost madly around, but
can find none to suit me. But something
must be written, will try to depict an incl
dent in real life, from which | derived much
profit. beheld a young wife and mother
leaning upon the strong arm of him, whom of
all on earth, she idolized most, save the infant
which she pressed to her bosom, and her very
eyes seemed to speak herjoy. And the proud
and happy father, as he bent o'er them both,
thought that nothing could be added to rem
der them happier. But while they drank
deeply of the bliss which they imagined moth
ing could mar, they forgot that our Father
Supreme, who orders everything wisely, might
some day take away their jewel, and leave
them, as they would think forever miserable
And truly life has few scenes more mournful.
A mother when she hears the hard clods fall
ing upon the coffin of her idoIized, perhaps
her only child-and that a noble boy feels
as if her heart would break. And when all
is ever, even when the cold, yellow clay is
smoothed over her precious child, she deems
it impossible that she is childless Her tho'ts
wo nder; for while she is lost, and expects
on her return to meet her darling, to smooth
the dark hair from his broad, white forehead,
and as is her custom, kiss his rosy cheeks
Forgetful of her grief her heart is once more
filled with happiness. But when she reaches
her home, which only little while ago she
thought the sweetest place on earth, but which
now seems so miserable, the stern reality is
felt in all its force. And who could hear her
half suppressed screams, deep groans and
heart-rending sighs as she beholds little
shoe, cradle, toy, his little cap, or something
which reminds her of her child, and not feel
that such misery is all the human heart can
bear? But where all this time is the heart
broken father? His grief, unlike the moth
er's, though just as deep. is silent. When he
reminds her that the Almighty God Father
of all, has wisely taken their child, she is sooth-
ed, and kneeling, they offer up long and fer
vent prayer. Then are heard the words
Father, thy will be DONE" They are not
as formerly, gay and joyous. but peace and
reign. And they have learned
that should their benignant Father bestow up
on them another precious gift, they should not
worship it alone.
l have dwelt long, very, on this subject
| was going to say, when begun, that such
a subject was too dark and gloomy for one of
my gay disposition. But 1 have learned this |
lesson from it. When suffering under grief
we are always soothed by offer |
ing prayer to God, which convinces US that
our prayers are not unheard.

A juror, who was sitting in case in which
a widow, who was young and pretty claimed
damages in the sum of 100000 for certain
trespasses committed by the defendant, gave
a reason for being in favor of giving YER

Jurors objected, that in case of the other
jurors agreeing with him, he intended to court

only given for half the sum, the juror said
he could not afford to make the sacrifice.

The Application FOR tho French Mlssien.
JAMES GORDON BENNETT, ESQ
DEAR SR:-
perceive, through the medium OF your everex-
celent paper, that you have serious intentions OF
applying FOR the position of minister ID the court OF
Louis Napoleon. Permit me to say, sir that this
intelligence has greatly gratjfed my heart For Q
long series of years it has been my good fortune to
be numbered among your many thousand readers
and am perfectly satisfied that you are just the
man for that station. Although the title of General
has never been appended to your NAME and although
you have never had the opportunity afforded you Of
"falng from your horse and faiDting" at the sight
of the Mexicans-or Of breaking your leg while
making love at night to Mexican or some other
woman, upon the ramparts Of Matamoras--still you
have fought thousand as bloody batties aud lived
through them all, and came of conqueror. Hasnot
your pen FLASHED in deadly fight with the whole
press of the country2 Have you not ofteutmes
Knocked the redoubsable General Of the Courier,
and the ex- Honorabe Horace Of the Tribune into
a cocked-hat ?-besides host Of others. Who ever
opposed you and did not rue it? You are In every
way the greatest General of the age, and you are
just the man to send abroad at this peculiar time,
when the whole Of Europe and the rest Of mar
kind" is likely to get into fight.
There are, however, some objections to you, ana
sorry to say, which must and ought to- operate in
some degree against you. Ihave heard from persons
who know you personally, that you do not drink
brandy sufficient for the place, aud that you are not
avorable to mntjuleps. Shade Of Virginia! this is
against you, and Mason will lead you il this respect
am further told that you have none Of the Jerusa
lem blood in your veins-no interests Of Rothschld's
sustain; that you possess no infidel notions. i'm
bibed at New Lanark; and, in fact that unlike our
new consul to London, you do not have your face
covered up with bristles in order to represent the
original American race. These things, am sorry
to say are against your chance Of success; but II
you have a few dimes to offer, to enable Marcy to
get bis breeches we'll mended, you may stand =
chance. Perhaps, should you succeed, the Governor
would lend you an old suit to appear in at your first
presentation-as his stomach revots at a Uniform
or, il not apply to Greeley for his white coat and
bas but be particular not to stick your legs too far
through his pantaloons. JOHN Slow.
