/RUTH AND POETRY.
"Truth should not resemble a bitter almond,
Which - is gooil foi• the health, but from which
our lips draw contemptuously) it should rather
resemble a sweet - almond, which is equally sa
lutary, and which pleases kings, fair women,
andwise men:"—Sam, Persian Poet.
• In a country, fur removedfrom that which
we inhabit, lived a Prime Minister, the declared
enemy of oll.untruth. lle teisetted that if ev
ery body told the truth there Would no longer
be vice, fur no one would dare to confees.'it ,
and so the shame .9f confessing 'faults would
prevent. men from committing tham. ° . fle said
that the thoughts of a worthy man- ought to op
pear in his acts, like the stars which sparkle
11o:brilliantly in the rrtkre blue sky, and he corn
pars& the heart of a wicked than to a stonily
cloud which hides the planets from our eight. •
We May See, by 'this comparison, that this
Prime Minister- inhabited the East. He was
rather the friend than the subject opiis prince,
and-their . eorVersation enli - IgAsiatall 'lviarers
by its wisdom. But they acted wisely also,
hick is a .rarer merit than talking wiSely--r
Thus their conversations were of profit to their
people, who therefore prayed in all the mosques
that the Prince and his Minister might be gar
rulous, for it certain they would hold
themselves bound to put in practice whatever
they projected and they never con%rsed
gathcr without m eking the happiness of their
people the theme
But the Prince was also" anxious to .secure
his own happiness, which was but natural.—
There was in a neighboring kingdom a young
Princess, with black hair and arched' eyebrows
short ehattning• The prince was of opin
inn that such a consort would embellish his"
'court, t.e the charm of his life, and rejoice by
her ps4oence tho'hearts of his subjects. Ike
asked'her in marriage of tlia"King, her father,
who wasoirt.trurs.), a very , wise monarch.—
110 gra ted the prayer of the young Prince,
and pekrnitted the betrothed couple to hare in
terviews and engagu rn corrasjiendonce, the t it
might be seen if `l'heir minds were in unison:—
The Prince, whovhad a fine imagination and
much love, wrote hitters to his adored mistress,
in which he compared her to the Moon when
she oinks edify in the aea,.and sheds a silver
lustre on its surface :ho swore to her tinit lie
woold_ridora4mr,'„through countless ages, and
that his life would end before his passion.—
Bib wise Minister maintained that these clOc
laTations wore false and exaggerated, but the
Prince replied that this was poetry, and the
Minister said, "oh, Used :"
But the Minister reflected profoundly. "If
the Prince be . comes a poet ; and
.If c , the Pt incese
has a taste for poetry, adieu' to Truth. ;We -
Anil have nothing. tiut 'minds, lays, and 14
lads, drama composed and plays acted." "It
revery well f^ - Mod ho, to himself,
"hut it is ,kes people poets,
and gives
Now it
DilinintOr I
Id that this - wise
I, beautiful, as / the
morning, and that the name of this cliild
Zoreb; which word in the language of That
country' , eignifies Truth. The Minister took .
his child tenderly from its cradle one day,.and
kissing it on-both cheeks, 0 0 my, dear Zoreb,"
said he, "thy bright blue eyes will, I hops, be-,
tray all the eic - ntimente of thy heart tiliou shalt
not ho edq.aled. s t , it court. Bo thy infancy pass
ed in concealment Retire to the-bosom .of
Nature, that is to say of truth, and appeal nut:
-.again in this 4 atmospliere till thy mind and
thoughts shall bo formed, and ths'lovo of truth
profoundly rooted in soul." -
tAfter having thus addressed the unconscious
infant, tTu wise Minister confided dt to a holy
dervise, tho ,oldest he had, and' who
lived.farreinoved from the Court in a rural se
clusion. Lie entrusted his child to thls derv's°
for eighteen years, recommending him 'above
all things to bring up ilia charge in a perfect
lure of Truth. "Ifs will always be wise e
nough," said thie'good faiher, "if ht 4 does not
dare to utter a falsehood."'
Mearnithile.the. yoang.Erincesa.the consort
of the Prince, arrived do , the Capital: She

Tit) Princeio suggested that the courtiers Web t
spook thy truth in inialeing her charms, with.

lighted with his own success, and the Minis..
ter, to whom lie — Cdminunicated - all that passed
in the mind of Zoreb, waited with impatience
for the completion of hie son's eighteenth year.
At length the period fixed arrived ;, Zoreb be
came eighteen, arid returned to Court. The
Prune-Minister, his father, presented him, - full
of joy, to the Prince and Princess. A select
party of tire courtiers was present; the con
versation was not diffuse, but pointed and in
tellectual : wit Without affectation abounded.—
When poetry - was mentioned, Zoreb affirmed
Unit poets would be much More praiseWortity

necessity they were under of resorting to fie

The ladies present applauttsd this
pretty speech :• but immediately afterwards
some verses were read and praised, were
composed by' a relation of the Princess, and
When Zoreb left the Conipany, tile Princess al
-firmed-that he had-wit-and- talent; and-ail-- the
other ladiesof course, acknowledged that she
was right.
• Zoreb, when . . arrived.at his home, passed his
day in review. and was obliged to confess to
himself that he had not acted with :perfect
frankness throughout. He resolved, according
ly, to male threci visits on the following maim
ing. First he went to see the relation of the'
princess, and told hitit\that the measure of his
verses was incorrect s lind inelegant. Zorob'
further observed that he ought to hove said this
the' day before, and 'that hie - hogged - pardon - for
the omission. Next he called oaths first lady
in waiting, to assure , liar that — rungs - was - not
becoming to her, and that she ought to be satis

stowed - on her.' Ho finished his calls by viol;
dug tho favorite 'companion of the Princess,
and declared to her that her face was by no
urbane improved by the aire 'she gave herself,
'which heSeared were the effects of coquetry,

SAN,Amoncos, Jan. 20, 1850
About the tune 1 wrote the lasi letter several
mountaineers offered - Alfemseyes as guides to
conduct-trains through to California,:hy way of
thg Spanish trail, and a wagon train Of 150 ,
wagons started on the 2il of October, by way of :
this route. This was the Orel attcmpl. ever
made by wagons on this trail. The difficulties
we had to encounter were apparent from the
guide's rceresentation. There would be probe:.
bly 1,000 miles More travel than on the north
route. [At most, there is but but 500 miles
more travel.—Ed. Trib.]—long and tedious
sorts to Pass, which ox teams had never before
encountered. Everything went on pleasantly
as far as Little Salt Lake when a hearsay delu
sion. seized the camp. Mr: A. heard Mr. B. say
that he had heaid frord'ti' ruountaintler by the
name of Hard, who ' diitinctlf told ..him .of a
pass that tookinto the mountains near the great
Basin ; Unit by taking this course a safe and ex
peditious route could be had to Gallium i a and
the mines, and water every 15 miles, and there
by avoid the dreadful deserts of the Spanipli
trail. Great speeches were ma eby the ler
tied, the Rio men put' heir head - togetherXnd
wondered nhy it had never been the tof bi
fore.---Freniont's map was perused 4..—the
owing, and sure enough he had seen a.high
ilage stretching Esst,aod West, but did not ex•
er.'it, and then they discussed the' matter
us: Now, say they, in lierever.there is a chain
of high mountains there must be snow, and
wherever there is snuiv there must be streams
'emitting therefrom so we wit nut go the ouLof

and turned to the eight. Passing up the fine
karigone, here • we Mond good grass, plenty of
water, and prospects brightened as we procee
ded-. - - At length -the this -of-the Great-Basin
was reached ; and we came to an awful chasm
several hundred feet in length.. Things Were
now brought to a ciisis, for_ we could go no fur;
[her in that direction. Here we lay over a
week trying to find a pass, 'bid to no purpose;
Rioneers we're sent to Observe, and exphirers
ascended every snowy ,peak, but all returned
unsuccessful. ' Such Was the nature of ti le ma
nia, they would not give op. Some th ught
they had 'struck into the mountains too 4 5 tw
others not soon enough. A large nutnbe•of
wagons started north -of the Sawn rim, w itch
is the last We have heard . of theta. A heavy
snow fell souhnfter,_which would prevent their
retracing, should iheY so desire. They had
provisions fur - 80 days only.

Captain Smith passed ti; and strtiei south of
he rim with pack animals. A party of 13
packed [ruin the wagons, some days in the tear
of Captain Singh, while the remaining - wagons
went back to the Spanish tn . . Our runto lay
among fearful rocks and st .4. 9 p which our
animals fell and w,ere.m lied to iiii%.-e . We
penetrated about 200 mils into this v t region,
I ,
and traveled five days Without Ay water for
ourselves or 'animals, except witSl we could
get from the rains, and suck up through crevt
ces of the rocks. . 'l.-I‘,.
The sufferings of some were intense, a water
fuser seized the senses, they. could not eat for e
whit of water ; every rustling of the wind was
brook to the imagination; and all the
delicions drinks that the subjoot had taken for
years, arose before him .tu torture. Sleep was
out of the question, at ,such times. Some Were
nearly crazy. At the end of the 4tli ; day we
catnped, havtug found a puddle of tired and
water, which enabled as to repose. The next
morning a bold push was made for water,
as .in a very few hours our filitiiful animals
Would all be dead: A blue smoke arose among
the hills to our, right. Here we expected to
find Indians, and if Indians, water. "Two out
