.sTHE NAKED TRUTH. J"
By WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

TA little volume of Fables in verse. and in
the Spanish language, by Jose Rosas, has
met with such favor in Mexico, that the city
authorities have adopted it as reading book
for Schools. The following is translation
Of one of the fables,
Beautiful Truth, once in the days of yore,
Pu; on the brave array
Which then the eoddesses of Hellas wore.
And issued to the day
Robed in such sort, with graces 30 divins,
That men, adoring, built to her eshrine
The gods, indignant At the sight,
Rose in defence OF their invaded right,
"Horror and inismy," they cried,
"Profanation r. and they came and went.
Pacing the ambrosial courts from side to
side
Fila wild tumait filled the armament.
Jove, TO appease their fury. left the skies,
And quickly stood before
The shrine of truth, determined to chastise
The sacrilege-he tore
From her the regal mantle which she wore,
Aud stripped the lobe away,
And fang to Falsehood's hand
Mantle and rrbe to serve for her array,
And gave to Truth this terrible command
"De thou forey- naked from this day
| And therefore, reader, let no. Truth be blame,
! II, everm0re since then,
She hides in corners handled and ashamed
And rarely seen of men.

But the author, ia coptradistinction

is for this reason that demagogues
obtain present notoriety while solid
sons Of genius and learning await
the fat Of posterty. Rarely indeed
are both strength Of thought and

with splendor Of delivery, found

Such slight defects as failed to meet
The blinded eyes OF lovers.
Why need We ask who dreams
Without their thofns the rosesf
Or wonders that the truest steel
The readisst spark 'discloses.
For still in mutual sufferance lies
The secret of true living,
Love scarce is lows that new or knows
The sweetness of forgiving.
