ITGGERNAUTH.

The following account of the celebra-
ted temple of Juggernauth, in Hlndoston,I
from the Christian Observer, for October,
1925, is more particular than any we have
ever met with.
"A paper lately laid before the Ca'cutta
Asiatic Society by Mr.. Stirling, contains
the following particulars respecting the
temple of Juggernauth :-Cuttack owes
much of its celebrity to the temple OF Jug
gernauth. The town. is calculated to con
tain 5,74l houses.-Every span of it is no
ly ground, and the whole of the land Is
held free .of rent. on the tenure of per

almost entirely of religious establishments
built of masonry, with two pilared veran

CROSSING THE LINE.

The following account of ceremony
performed by sailors, on crossing the line,
is extracted from letter published in al
late English paper. 1t appears to have
happened on board ship strongly man
ned:--
"We got into the southeast trade wind
on Sunday, in degree 20 minutes, and
as we expected to cross the line on Mon
day, Neptune came alongside on Sunday
night, at o'clock, to make inquiry about
coming on board, that those who had not
crossed the line before, might be introduc
ed. The following may give you some
idea of the ceremony. A tar barrel is illl-
ed with wood, Goals, &c.and, being lighted
ut the forecastle, is set aAoat to leward,
which on passing the gang way is hailed by
the chief mate, and Neptune replies. The
barrel was seen burning all the way to the
horizon, distance of about six miles.
The blazing barrel on the water had a
very picturesque effect. Next day Nep-
tune came on board, with about forty at
tendants, all dressed in the most fantas-
tic manner. They caire from behind a
screen, at the forecastle; Mr., Mrs. and
Master Neptune, being in a car drawn by
10 or IL sea horses, driven by coach
man, position behind. with barber, doc
tor, their assistants, &c. The car was
covered with two flags. The doctor wa
equipped in high style; cooked; hat an.
tong queue made of COW tail, an old blacl
coat, powdered with -four round the shoul
ters, black gloves, wooden baton as /
cane, with rope yarn for riband, and ;
shaving-box filled with pills made of tai
low and -four; the trowsers and hats wer'
made of painted sail cloth.
The barber was conspicuous figure

WOMAN.
First Voice.

How tickle is woman! how false are her vows,
As light as the quick-passing wind,
How transient her fondness--like dew on the
buughs-
Which leaves not vestige behind.
Second Toice.
How faithful is woman! how constant her love,
Like the stars in their heavenly spheres
How lasting her fondness-as the blue sky above,
Unchanged through the cirle Of years.
First Voice.
Oh woman! thou worker of woe 10 mankind,
Thou priestess of wrath and of blood,
In thy cause--lo what myriads to earth are con-
sign'd,
The battle pours forth like flood!
Second voice.
Oh womanl thou soother Of pain and Of wrath,
Thou angel of life and of light,
Thou calmer Of madness-averter Of death
Amid the red rage of the fight!
First voice.
For woman--the earth round the thick-circled
Troy,
Grew drunk with the blood Of the brave:
For woman--a Hero himself could destroy,
And relinquish world for grave.
Second roice.
For woman-the recreant warrior of Rome
Dropt the sword of rebellion in shame,
The Patriot gave the grim tyrsnt his doom,
And his country ife--fre eedom-and fame.
First r0ice.
Yet, woman-despite of thy falshood and pride,
The heart viii still cling to thy love,
Tho the scorn--and the scotland the mock
hath tried
Tho beeding-it never can move.
Second voice.
oh woman! thou anchor of life in the wreck,
Which the wind and the storm cannot sever!
On thy bosom, the lorn heart its solace will seel
And will beat on that bosom forever!
