-A PERSIAN
ECIEMIN=I
TRADITION
It was tears ago, a firm heliefat the
Persian court of Ispahan that a small
Minim) tribe, dwelling near their lair
ders,possessed a valuable mine of prep
brats rubies. The Persian monarch,
excited by the accounts of its great
wealth, determined to potses4 it, For
this purpose he dispatched an army
commanded by one of lon ablest ,ever•
ale. It was soon discotered that these
loos were possessed of a spirit to
defend their own, lor they met the in
vading Persians, routed them in battle,
nod drote them back into their own
country
ThirralleCehf., }ION ever,was but short

overwhelming numbers. Enraged at
this repulse the Persian monarch
strongly reinforced his urns, and (it
dered them to lay u‘aste the Ilindoo

tribe

home near the frontier. Ismail, the'
governor of the province, occupied it
strong fortress within a short distance
of the spot that Assad lead .elected for
his residence. It was Ills 11110/ to watch
the wandering tribe that harrassed the
borders, and gaol, il possible, the touch
sought after secret. of she ruby mine.
To his new ionic, flen Assad
nrotight the Hindu° boy whom lie had
found upon the buttledield. Though
his eltractiontwati well known to the
Persian rllofla Ch, he wan stalered to
live nu hopes, that one day lie would
reveal the secret of the precious none
of rubies.
The hov gage his name as Aram',
and maid he was the Crania page of
the sham rajah . but he was not dispos
ed to part atilt the secret of los race.
Fyr years he resisted t treaty, pronosem,
rewards, and every other meson eau
ploved to draw the secret from hon.
Inflexible anti firm, he scorned them
all. Ile was willing to tight fur Per
sia and her laws, he told Gem Assad,
but he would die sooner than betray
his country.
Ile did fight for Persia, by Amours
side, and by Ilia brave and gallant de
meanor rose quickly to a chief com
mand. It deed lie moon superseded As•
sad at the head of the Army; the old
General being worn with age and ser
vice, being only too glad to yield him
his place, Araxitwas generally regard•
ed by the soldiers as Assails eon, his
Hindoo origin being known but to few.
In the full promise of his early man
hood a strong temptation to betray his
sacred trust beset him. He loved the
daughter of Ismail the governor,a love
ly girl with whom his happiest days of
youth had been spent.
His passion was reciprocated by its
fair object, who. for his sake, rejected
the suit of Nasrod, a proud and
haughty chief.
The governor favored hie suit, in the
hope that her possession would prevail
on him to disclose the secret of the
mine, knowing that such an event
would enrich him, and gain the last
ing gratitude of his monarch. To
prove his constancy, he sent Araxa to
fight the foes of Persia upon the Cas
pain shore, from which, after a most
successful campaign, he teturned a con
queror.
On his return 'Amin received him
with great pomp and ceremony, and
conducted lion to the citadel oldie tor
tress, there to make trial of his faith.
'to add great force to the request he
was about to make, he commended his
daughter, the beauteous Zephyrs, to
array herself in her most becoming at

'For your pertinacious silence when

'Stay one moment, stay cried
A raxii, desperately. 'As this is by far
the most important moment of my hie,
grant me a little pause for reflection.
To part from Zaphyra is worse than
death ;to betray my country —'
Zaphyrit checked hini by advancing
to hie side, and laying her hand upon
his shoulder.
'Be firm, Antal' ?' she cried, with
beaming eyes. 'Let no selfish thought
intrude. I love you I and why do 1
dare to thus avow it? Because that
love is founded ou respect. Betray
your country, and the flame of love
your virtues have kindled in this heart
will be extinguished never more to be
rel igli ted.'
These noble words proclaimed her
worthy of the young chieftain's love,
but they enraged her father beyond
measure ; the hope of sill obtaining
possession of the mine led him to re•
strain his passion, and he dismissed
Araxa from hie presence with these
ominoup• words :
'1 gialtryou until to-morrow's dawn
for your final resolution; that time ex
pired, and the secret not divulged,
death is your puniishment if found in
Persia!'
On leaving the citadel, Araxa has
tened to the dwelling of his adopted
father, Assad. The old veteran was
very much surprised at th vecital of
what had taken place; hi t`he bade
Araxa, be of comfort still; admitted
that it was a battle return tor hie servi
ces, but thought be had a consolation
in the knowledge that Zaphyra loved
him; a circumstance that should pal
liate the Cat her's ltarshoess.
Araxa assured him that Zaphyra l s
love more than compensated him for
every ill. lie saw with joy her ex
ressive eye, and heard with rapture
Per benignant voice. No little word
that dropped front her lips but was in
delibly [narked upon his heart. Still
it was a hard alternate to betray his
country or give up the girl he loved,
and that very love inspired him with ft
scheme to obtain her, and honor would
not blush to own the moths.
lie told Assail vaguely of this
scheme, and said he still remembered
well the secret path which led to the
retreat of his dear countrymen; and
often (unknown to any Persian) had
he already visited their abode. They
lot ed him, they would espouse his
cause, and help him to gain Zaphyra.
'When I am gone hence,' he added,
in conclusion, 'tell Ismail I repent ;
bid him dispatch a chosen band to the
Bair rock north of the citadel, where
the aged palm tree stands by a lonely
cavern ; there I will meet and conduct
them to the mine.'
Assad, whose trust in tlo l `.'ytet - h--ho.
I ad reared was unbounded,promised to
obey, and Araxa mounted his swiftest
steed and spurred se. the away.
Ile pas , ed the Persian boundary,

firmly seated in the people's heart for
him to attempt to thrust bun torth.
Nay, more, he thirst not attempt it.
Araxa quickly made known the oh

harvest, convey them to the palm tree

bride, A raxa, took his departure and
returned to Assad's (livening.
All chanced as lie hoped. Ismail,
deceived by the glittering specimens

from Araxa dispelled her scruples
She trusted in his honor, and awaited
patiently the explanation.

A few words bed Araxa contrived to

did he build the hopes of an escape.
It was a slender foundation, but it was
