The Simeon of the Desert.

The following is from Faiala Save
gher's Travels among the Arabs:-We
took the road to Heggies, resting every
night with one of the tribes which over
spread the desert. The fifth day, after
passing the night under The tent of Ell
Henadi, we rose with the sun, and went
to saddle our dromedaries, bu, found them
to our great amazement. with their heads
plunged deeply into the sand, from which
il was impossible 10 disengage them.-
Calling TO our aid the Bedouins of The
tribe, they informed us that the circum-
stance presaged the simeon. which would
not long defer its devastating course, and
that we could not proceed without facing

position, neither 10 eat nor 10 drink, while
the tempest lasts. Learning the danger
which threatened US, we shared the gen.
raj terror, and FASTENED 10 adopt all the
precautions enjoined upon US. Horses
must not only be placed under shelter,
but have their ears stopped: they
would otherwise be suH'oca,ed by the
whirlwinds Of fine little sand which the
wind sweeps furiously before it. Men
assemble under their tents, stopping up
every crevice with extreme caution, and
having provided themselves with whatev.
er is placed within their reach. throw
themselves upon the ground, covering
their faces with mantle, and stir no more
till the hurricane is passed. That morn.
ing it was tumult in the camp; every on'
endeavored to provide for the safety Of hi
beasts. and then precipitately retiring
under the protection of his tent.
We had scarcely time to secure ou
beautiful Negde mares before the storm
began. Furious gusts of wind preceded
the clouds of red burning sands, whrlin!
round with fierce impetuosity. and over
whelming or burying under their drift

If any part of the body is by accident ex
