This lie'ro was the son ufaL, the prince of Seistan, wha was lxrn witft-whitp hair, and consequently received from his lather th'e name of ZsiL or ." old fellow." Sain, the father of Zal, wasjprime mpis i ter of .Persia lielieviiig jliat .this white headed child was not his own son, but the oflspring of ' a magician, he exposed liim on the top of the rhoiint- a'in Elburz. , According to the poetical legend, Zal was nurtur ved on tlVis niountain by a grifiin. After a time, his - father, being warned by a supernatural admonition, took his son home! and brought him up at the ersian court." In his manhood ' lie accompanied his father to Caubul Wl jSerstan, over which coun . tries Sam had been appointed governor. One day Zal,while engaged' in the chase in a forest, came to . a tower, and saw standing on one of its turrets a - young lady of exquisite beauty. They mutually gazed and loved, but there appeared no means by : which "the enahwrcd Zal could ascend to the brittle- .menti. After - iauoL embarrassment., an expedient "7 occurred to the niaideii. She loosened her dark and ' beautiful tresses," which fell in ringlets to the foot of the Jtpwer, and enabled the young hero to climb y' up to her. This lady proved to be Rudabah, the daughter of Melirab, King of Caubul. The love J r occasioned by this extraordinary interview gave .-'r rise- toj.a marriagey and liustein way born of this union. Seven nurses were assigned for his support, - but these proved insufficient, and a flock of sheep - were : added to suckle the robust infant ! Such is ; I tliO' fabulous account of the" birth of the Persian r hero, s - ' x The deeds of Kusteni have been magnified iuto r-'iiraclearby the poet who describes them, and thus s his history is enveloped in romance ; yet there is no - reason to doubt that he was a real versonare. lie commanded 'the Persian armies, against the Tar of Turan, who crossed the river Oxus, under th , command .of ptinco -Afrasiab', and invaded Persia. Kustem had received from his father the club of his : ancestor Sam. VThis tremendous weapon, which - had , long befen-ihe terror of Persia's enemies, was. soon, preceived by' the Tartars. Afrasiab demanded ' who' that bov was that made such havoc in -Lis ranks. One pf liis attendants replied, 44 Seest thou not that he; wields the club of the mighty Sam ".' that' lie is a youth .the" object of whose soiil is ref nown ?" Afrasiab, despising his enemy, hastened to attack him. Kustem perceived his intention, and observing that hjewas almost unarmed, threw aside" his club and rushed to the combat. After a short but violent contest, the -Persian hero seized the ' prince and bore hi'moft' hi saddle , but his girdle breaking, Afrasiab fell to the ground, and his sol- diers crowded to his defence in such numbers, that it becjame. impossible for Rustem torecover his " prisoner." But the rih crown and girdle of the Tartar prince remained in the possession of the victor, whose tnumpl J was completed by the en tire defeat of the enemy.

Younir Sohrab was the son of Rustem. unknown to his father; for the inother had-written to Rustem that, his child was a. daugh- . ter fearinjr to lose her infant if the truth became known. Sohrab, when lie grew up, left his moth er and-sought fame under the banner of AfrasiaU where he gained a renown beyond that of all con temporary heroes, excepting only his father. lie had carried dismay and death into the ranks of the " Persians, and had terrified their boldest warriors. At last, Ru&tem resolved to encounter him under a feigned name. , They met tVtree times. ,At the first, they parted - by mutual consent, though Sohrab had the ad- Tantage. At the second, the youth obtained a victory, but granted life to his unknown father. At the third, meeting. Sohrab received.a mortal wound. and fell Writhing in the pangs . of death, he warn- - ed his conqueror to snun tne vengeance inspired by parental woes, and bade him dread the rage of the mighty Rustem, who must soon learn that he had sliut hia o& Sohrab.

THE NORTH CAROLINA BOOK STORE, conduct ed by Turner & Hughes twenty-five years ago, still 'stands where it did, and is acknowledged by all to contain, a more general assortment of Literary Material, than any other Bibliothical Depository, in the Southern country. It is still conducted by one ot the original Proprietors, than whom few Bibliopolist's in any country can have more expe rience in the Book business, A person who has catered for the Literary world of the Old North State for a quarter of a century must know what " Books are Books," as Carlisle has it, and just what the reading public of the Southern country requires.
