ed for that purpose, who undergoes pro.
balionary penance that continues six
months previous to her admission into
the holy orders, During this period she
is initiated by the priests into all the mys-
teries and chchancery of the religion Of
their forelathers, which consisted in the
worship Of the black and white snake and
in the mummery Of giving scantity 10
bones, rags &c. When she appears in
public during the period Of her probation
her manner is grave and solemn; her
skin is painted with kind of white clay;
rows OF shells. of various forms and si-
yes, are hung upon her neck. arms and
ankles, and her lonS are girted with long
grass which reaches TO her knees. A
dwelling is provided for her, in which she
eats and sleeps alone and into which no
one is admitted but Feliche men or wo.
men. At the expiration of the six months

THE RIILING PASSION.

The Richmond Post relates an anec.
dote of The ruling passion slrongin death,
was told Of noted gambler in the
city Of New Orleans, Betting was ma
MIA with him, and the argument which he
adopted to settle any controversy. What.
ever might be the character Of the de-
bate, his strongest reply to his Antagonist
was, III bet you. The scourge Of Ne"
Orleans, the yellow fever, made its ap,
pearance. While it was raging mos'
iercely, and carrying off its hundreds
daily, the gambler was attacked. Med
cal assistance was secured, and every
thing that skill could do was done TO save
his lite. But the fever was stronger than
the doctor, and at last he was told
Sir, you must die, and if you have
any arrangements to make attend to then
speedily
Doctor said the sick man, 'how long
can live?' .r
Not more than three hours, he replied
Doctor, are you perfectly certain tina
cannot live more than three hours T.
queried the patient.
i am sir; you may live that long bu
the probabilities are that your end viii
come sooner. .-.t ...
'Well, you mistake, doctor, I'll be
YOU my funeral expenses that will liv
sir hours, just double what you assig
me , ..... ...
The physician was astonished at sue
GOODNESS but remembering whom he ha
to deal with, accepted the bet, and avail
ed the result. The fellow lived throug
the six hours, secured the stake, an
while chuckling over his triumph wa
seized with the spasms and died.
