manners are very curious. Every
morning at break of day they sepa-

provision from a great distance,
and not one of them remains on the
trees or in the neighborhood. To-
wards vening they all return, and
assemble in thousands in the wood,
where they SIT together Oh the

IHe Pi!grimage to Mecea.

Every Mussulman must take
this journey at least once in his life
or delegate the performance of it to
a Pilgrim, who will fulfil this sacred
duty for him and in his name, in
case he is lawfully unable to do-it
himself
The object Of this journey is to
visit the Kaaba, or the House of
God, at Mecca; the hills of Safa
and Mirona, which are in the same
city, and Mount Ararat, which lisa
little distance from the Holy City.
The period of these ceremonies at
Mecca is in the month Of Dalhaja
every year. Many pilgrims take
the opportunity to so to Medina,
in order to visit the tomb of the
prophet ; but this act of devotion
is not ordered or even recommend
ell by the law.

ON THE STAR OF NE LEGION
OF HONOR.

By Lord By, on,
Star Of The brave !-whose beam hath
shed
Sch glory DER the quick and dead
Thu radiant and ador'd deceit!
Which millions rusb'd in arms to greet;
Wd meteor of immortal birth
wv rise in Heaven to Sc, on Earth?
Sou of slain heroes form'd thy rays /;
Etetity flash'd through thy blaze
Theiusic OF thy martial sphere
Waslme on high and honor here!
And " light broke on human eyes,
Like volcano of the skies.
Like IVA rolle8 thy stream CT blood,
And'wept down empires wi,hns aood
Fart rocked beneath thee to her base,
AS thu didst Tighten ,hro' all space
And ne shorn sun grew dim in air,
A7dset willis thor vert dwelling there
Befoe thee rose and with thee grew,
A raibow OF the loseliest hue,
OF thee bright colors,s each divine,
And f,for that celestial sign;
For freuom's hand had blended thern,
Like tins in an imnortal gem.
One tintyas Of The sun-beam's dycsS
One the hue depths of Seraph's eyes,
One the pre- Spirits veil of white,
Hai robedin radiance of its light;
Ihe three 80 mingled did bcseem
ihe texture Of a heavenly dream.
Star OF The brave thy ray is pale,
And darkness must again prevail
but or, thou rainbow OF the free,
OnT tears and blood must flow for thee
Wien my bright promise fades away,
Oar IFS is but load Of clay
And freedom hai;ows with her tread,
The silent cities OF lie dead;
For beautiful in death arc they
Who proudly fall in her array;
And soon, oh, Goddess may we be
For evermvre with Them or thee
