At the foot of one of those gigantic
n1pntains in Asia, which lift up their
Ids so far above the clouds, that the
- of man never saw their SUBMITS, stood
eautiful cottage, facing the east. The


nntain stream leaped and murmured
dthe north the verdant plain where
= bright eyed gazele sported, lay spread
u in front; the garden and the olive
I'D, filed with every flower and every
~ which an oriental sun could pencil
~ ripen, lay on the south /; while back,
&the west, rose the everlasting noun
-. Here were walks and shades and
ITS, such as were found nowhere else.
LIE sun shone upon no spot more luxuri-
lnt the moon beams struggled to enter no
|loce more delightful; the soft wings of


breezes of evening famed no such
lbede in all the east. The howl Of the
III was never heard here; the sly fox
Rofer came here to destroy and here
r. scrpent's hiss was never heard.


This cottage was the home of HAFED,
J. aged and the prosperous. He reared
+ cottage he adorned this spot and
he for more than four-score years he
~ lived and studied. During all this
itDe, the sun had never forgotten to visit
IL daily !; the harvest had never failed,
~ pestilence had never destroyed, and
~ mountain stream had never dried up.
Ie wife of his youth still lived to cheer
~ bless him; and his son and daughter
we such as were not to be found in all
u Province. No youth could rein the
he, hurl the javelin, chase the lion, or
g. ght the social circle like this son. No
lighter of kings could be found so beau
df1l and perfect, as was this daughter,
v1h an eye so bright and joyous, and a
toh so symmetrical as hers.

fhe son and the daughter both return
