171 feels his breath ; his head is well placed. A shot is heard, and all is over. One hour after, our three assassins are snoring under their fathers' tents, perfect pictures of boyish innocence. The next day, the child is proclaimed a man, and is enti- tled to a voice in the councils of the nation. His comrades speak to him with deference, and some pretty girl will recompense his noble action with fne warm embraces of a desert maid. The man who has received such an education, is necessa- rily ...courageous, especially during the night. Among all those surrounding you, there are twenty who will present their heads to the yataghan without the least emotion ; but you will not find one bold enough openly to attack their leonine foe who does them so much harm. From whence comes this respect of the Arab for the lion ? It proceeds from the numberless examples the latter has given of his strength and courage. In the numerous struggles and combats, the lion has always been the stronger, and when he has yielded to num- bers, the victory has been dearly bought.
