DELIGHTS OP VARNA.—When you go to :bectithe odds
are that you will find your dormitory preoccupied by a
monstrous lizard, quite as fond of the sheets as you are,
and not at all disposed to leave them. Grasshoppers, of
the respectable size of a walnut, perform all manner of
sanatory exercises on your nose and eyelids ; legions of
ants, innumerable " earwigs " (a loathsome crawling
insect), and perfect clouds of hungry flies make so free
with your food, that with your utmost caution you are
apt to swallow them in scores. Out of doors, the villainous
Turkish dog;with ferocious starvation in his wolf-like eye,
and of a savageness which, in these "woodlands wild,"
renders him a still uglier customer than his fellow of
Stamboul, hangs on your rear, as if calculating the
chances of a bite at the fleshy part of your calf; and if
you seek for a moment some sylvan shade, a vile vicious-
looking snake starts up, and sibillates his disapproval of
the disturbance of his siesta.
