_That wayside inn we left to-day._

Those who have been long familiar with the English Lake-Country will
find no difficulty in recalling, from the description in the text, the
roadside inn at Wythburn on the descent from Dunmail Raise towards
Keswick; its sedentary landlord of thirty years ago, and the passage
over the Wythburn Fells to Watendlath.]

_Sohrab and Rustum._

The story of Sohrab and Rustum is told in Sir John Malcolm's _History of
Persia_, as follows:--

"The young Sohrab was the fruit of one of Rustum's early amours. He
had left his mother, and sought fame under the banners of Afrasiab,
whose armies he commanded, and soon obtained a renown beyond that
of all contemporary heroes but his father. He had carried death and
dismay into the ranks of the Persians, and had terrified the
boldest warriors of that country, before Rustum encountered him,
which at last that hero resolved to do, under a feigned name. They
met three times. The first time they parted by mutual consent,
though Sohrab had the advantage; the second, the youth obtained a
victory, but granted life to his unknown father; the third was
fatal to Sohrab, who, when writhing in the pangs of death, warned
his conqueror to shun the vengeance that is inspired by parental
woes, and bade him dread the rage of the mighty Rustum, who must
soon learn that he had slain his son Sohrab. These words, we are
told, were as death to the aged hero; and when he recovered from a
trance, he called in despair for proofs of what Sohrab had said.
The afflicted and dying youth tore open his mail, and showed his
father a seal which his mother had placed on his arm when she
discovered to him the secret of his birth, and bade him seek his
father. The sight of his own signet rendered Rustum quite frantic;
he cursed himself, attempting to put an end to his existence, and
was only prevented by the efforts of his expiring son. After
Sohrab's death, he burnt his tents and all his goods, and carried
the corpse to Seistan,
