Perraan Lying.

The forms of untTuth which prevail among
people are always highly characteristic q
mental. If not Of moral, qualities Tho hu-
norous exaggerations Of our people are In
strong contrast with the bold inventions ot
the Persians, which resemble the eItrava-
gances Of the Arabian Nights.' The author
Of From the Indus 70 the ngris" tells the
following a q specimen of Persian mes iacity
One Of the Persians OF our eseart assured
Us that the wind often prevailed with such
ferrous force that it knocked people OF their
legs.
"Why, only last year" said be, with mot
animated gestures, III tore up the sand in
that hollow away 10 the left with such force,
and swept il away IN such quantities, that 1t
exposed the remains OF an ancient town Of
which nobody ever dreamed the existence be-
fore The houses were discovered in rare or
der. The chambers were clear Of debris and
clean swept of dust, and, marvellous 10 re-
late, tho furniture was found just as il stood
when the city was swallowed up in the
earth
you astonish me-" said this is some
thing very wonderful"
''Yes," he continued, you speak the truth
lit is wonderful God Is great, and bis
power is infinite But / will tell you the
most wonderful thing Of all Everything
looked perfect and most substantial, but the
moment hand was stretched out 10 touch
an object, the object at once crumbled 20
powder The place IS only a few miles of
our road; would you like 10 galop over and
see itf7
"Your description, 7 said, as so complete
that see the place before my minds eye.
Why incommode ourselves in this rain for
what is 50 apparent!'
saw that be felt the sarcasm, though,
With genuine Persian nonchalance, he Gov
cred his retreat with an As you will There
the place is, and If you like TO soc it, am
ready to accompany you Youths Com.
