A Persian Workman.

From the paper in the Century by
S. G. w. Benjamin, our late minister
to Persia, in the city of Teheran, we
quote the following: "What nipple
ments they used in ancient times we
know not; but to-day the Persian ar
tisan has neither rule. compass, mol
spirit-level. He is commonly ignorant
OF the fact that the diameter is the
third of the circumference; his gimlets
and augers are prods turned by a bow
string; he has no Ratchet, but only an
adze, and no carpenters bench. If he
desires to plane a board, he puts it on
the ground; and If he would saw a
block of wood, he squats on the ground
himself and holds it between his toes,
drawing the saw toward himself.
Wood is scarce, and with such tools
hard to work. If pillars are to be con-
structed, the trunks of poplars are
raised and simply stripped Of their
branches and bark. They may be
crooked. but that matters not; the
master workman tells his subordinate
to shape the timber into an elegant
pillar with Catch. Depending only on
his eye and the skill of his hand, this
artisan applies the plaster round the
trunk in the form of a futed pillar
and crowns it with a graceful capital
and ~cornice, showing a lively inventive
fancy. If judged by the strict appli-
cation of rule and compass. these deco
rations may sometimes deviate slightly
from a straight line, but of the artis-
tic beauty of the conception there a
be no question. Walls and ceilings
are ta~stefully decorated in like man
ner.
Lightness combined with strength
Is often gained in Persia by building a
wall of square sundried brick, ingen-
iously arranged in the hollow cubes
in a block-house. They are cement
3D. together by alayer of cargel. or NOR
tar mixed with straw. wei which, in
turn, follows a coat of white plaster.
Where great strength is required the
angles are fortified by a layer of burnt
bricks. Such a wall will stand for
ages. 1t is interesting to watch the
builders at work. They wear long
tunics. which are tucked into their
when working, displaying a
length and muscular development of

PEARLS OF

A coxcomb is ugly all over with the
affectations of a fine gentleman.
He that would relish success to pur-
pos should keep his passion cool and
his expectation low.
Rather than impute our miscarriage
20 our own corruption, we do not stick
to arraign Providence itself.
Calm the disorders of thy mind by
rejecting on the wisdom, equity and
absolute rectitude of His proceedings.
There is an enduring tenderness in
the love of a mother for her son that
transcends all other affections of the
heart.
The worthiest people are most in
jured by scandal, as we usually find
that TO be the best fruit which the birds
have been pecking at.
Reflect upon a clear, unhotted, &C
quilted conscience, and feed upon the
ineffable comforts of the memorial Of a
conquered temptation.
The knowledge of the world which
is 81 admired, but which, after all, is
but a very poor attainment, is really
nothing more than a knowledge of the
defects, foibles, and weak points of men
and women.

Another bit Of fathers 'stinginess' at

"At the end of that first year l had laid
aside two hundred dollars, and the next
year, my salary being raised hundred,
had five hundred laid by.
"One hundred cents meant more to me in
those days than one hundred dollars had,
previously.
Eat the end of four years clerking went
to my father with fifteen hundred dollars of

help me enter business. Even then he
would only let me hire the money, two
thousand dollars, at six per cent. interest.

it. Those lessons of self-denial, self-respect
