From work entitled Sketches of Persia.


The following admirable lines were in
scribed upon golden crown having five
sides, which was found IN the tomb of Moo
sherwan.


First stde.-"Consider the end before you
begin, and before you advance provide re-
treat.


Give not unnecessary pain to any man,
but study the happiness Of all.


Ground not your dignity upon your power
to hurt Others"
Second Side.--"Take counsel before you
commence any measure, and never trust its
execution to the inexperienced.
Sacrifice your property for your lite, and
your life for your religion.
Spend your time in establishing good
name, and if you desire fortune, learn con-
tentment.''


Third side-"Grieve not for that which
is brok en-, stolen, burnt or lost.
Never give orders in another mans house,
accustom yourself to eat your bread at your
own table.
Make not Yourself the captive of women" "
Fourth Side-" Take not wife from a
bad family, and seat not thyself with those
who have no shame.
! Keep thyself at a distance from those who
are incorrigiblc in bad habits. and hold no
intercourse with that man who is insenslble
| TO Kindness.
| Covet not the goods of others.


Be guarded with monarchs, for they are
like fire, which bazeth and deatroyeth.
| BE sensible to Your own value, estimate
justly the warth Of others: and war not with
those who are tar above thee in fortune" ;"


Fitth Side.-"Fear Kings, women and po-
cts.
! Be envious of no man, and avoid being out
of temper, or thy life will pass in misery.


Respect and protect the females OF thy
family.


Be not the slave of anger; and in thy con-
test always leave open the door OF concilia-
ton.


Never let your expenses exceed your in
come.


Plant young tree or you cannot expect
to cut down an old one.


Stretch your legs no farther than the size
of your carpet
