FEMALE PRIESTS IN CENTRAL AFRICA.

Mr.. DlToR:-From a " Tour in Africa" which
| lately fell in with, l abridge the following singu-
lar statement, from which it will be seen that in
Central Africa the people have females among their
priests. The author snys:-
One Of tie singular customs of the pcorle Of
Grewhc is the admission of females into the orlar
of priesthood. An account of the ceremony prac-
ticed on this occasion may be amusing to the read
or. A young female, generally the daughter of a
Eetlche man or priest, Is selected for that purpose,
who undcrgoes a probationary PENANG. that con
tinucs six months previous to her admission into
the holy orders. During this period she is i2itia-
ted by the priests into all the mysteries and Chi
cancry Of the religion Of their foreflthers, which
consisted in the worship Of the black and white
make, and in the mummcry of giving s%auctity to
bones, rags, &c. When she appears in public
during the period Of her probation, her man
ner is grave and solemn; her skin is painted
with Il kind of white clay rows of shells, of yari-
Gus forms and sizes, are hung upon her neck, arms
and ANGLES, and her loins are GRIT with long grass
which reaches to her knees. A DWELLING is nro.
yided for her, in which she eats and sleeps alone.
and into which II ne are admitted but Fetiche men
and women. At the expiration of the six months,
a large assemblage men, and women, and children.
accompanied by various orders of priesthood. and
the musicians belonging to the town, takes nlace
on an open space of ground, to assist at and also
TO witness, the last grand ceremony
Soon after assembling, the women form n circle
by joining hands, among whom are the COMPANIONS
Of the noyitiate's youth, and also her relations.
who commence dancing circularly, reversing the
movements alternately, after making one complete
circle. Tho dancing is accompanied by the most
barbarous and horrid din Imaginable, beating on
drums, tom-toms, gOngs, and blowing horns manu-.
featured out of elephants teeth and reeds to
which are added the most strange and uncouth
grimaces and contortions Of the faces and bodies
of the priests, so that a stranger might easily i'm
agine them to BE Il number of maniacs, who had
turned loose to give effect to the and
were it not for the presence of the children, who
look on with fear and establishment DENOTED on
on their countenances, would be no bad represen-
tation Of Pandemonium.
The noviate, soon after the dancing commences,
is brought out, by apparent force, from a little hut,
which had concealed her from the spectators, and
placed in the centre of the circle formed by the
dancinS females, from which she endeavors 10 es-
cape to the hut whence she had been brought.
and this she is allowed to accomplish. This cere-
mony is repeated three times; an incantation is
tlen delivered by the chief priest, and the farce
ends.
One of the conditions by which a female is adj
mittcd into the order of priesthood is, that of
a life of ~celibacy, and renouncing the pleasure of
the world and but few are admitted to enter it at
all.

THE FARMER.

The beautiful lines of Mrs. Sicournev give
though poetical picture Of Farm Life /:
Saw ye the farmer at his pillow
As you were riding By?
Or wearicd meath the noon days toll,
When the summer suns were nigh
And thought that his lot was hard?
And did you thank your God,
That you and yours were not condemned,
Thus like a slave to plod2
Come, see him at his harvest home,
When garden, field, and tree,
Conspire with flowing store to fill
His barn and granery.
His healthful children gaily sport
Amid the new-mown hay,
Or proudly aid with vigorous arm,
His tasks as best they may.
The Harvest Giver is his friend,
The maker Of the soil,
And Earth the mother gives them bread
And cheers tn .ir patient toll.
Come join them round their wintry hearth,
The heartfelt pleasures see,
And you had better judge how blest
The farmers life may be.

MADAME TALLEYRAND AND DENoN.-It is said of
Madame Talleyrand that one day, her husband
having told her that Demon was coming to dinner,
bid her read a little of his book upon Egypt Just
published, in order that she might be enabled to
say something civil 10 him upon it, adding that he
would leave the volume for her upon his study
table. lie forgot this, however, and Madame,
upon going into the study, found Il volume of
- Robinson Crusoe' on the table instead, which
having read very attentively, she was not long on
opening upon Demon Mt dinner, about the desert
island, his manner of living, etc. to the grea: as
constituent Of poor Demon, who could not make
head nor tale of what she meant: AT last. upon her
saying, Eli puis, cher Jetdredi! Friday lie per,
eeiyed she took him for no less a person than
Robinson Crusoe. --Hooye'S Diary.

is FRIDAY AN UNLUCKY DAY7

From time immemorial Friday has been frowned
upon rs q day of i'll omen. And though this pre-
iudicc is less prevalent now than it has been OF
yore, when superstition had general sway, yet
there are many even in this matterof-fact age OF
ours who would hesitate on Il day SO inauspicious
to begin an undertaking of momentous import.
And how many brave mariners. whose hearts un-
quailing could meet the widest fury of their ocean
home, would blench to even bend their sails on
Ftidayl But, to show with how much reason this
feeling is INDUCED let us examine the following
facts in connection with our new settle
ment and greatness Tvs II nation, and we will see
how little cause VIC Americans have to dread the
fatal day:
On Friday, August 81, 1892, Christopher Colnm.
bus sailed ON his great voyage of discovery.
On Friday, October II, 1902, he first discovered
land.
On Friday, January 4th. 1893, he sailed on hi,
return to Spain, which if he had not reached il
safety the happy, result would never have been
known which led to the settlement of this vast
continent.
On Friday, March Is, 1893, he arrived at Palo,
in safety.
On Friday, November 22d, 1l93, he arrived a
llispnniola in his second voyage to America.
On Friday, June 18th, 1904, he, though unknown
to himself, discovered the continent of America.
On Friday, March 9Th, 1886, Henry VII of Eng
land gave to John Cabot his commission which lie,
to the disco very Of North America. This is thu
first American State paper in England.
On Friday, September 18th, 1865, Melendde
founded st. Augustine, the oldest settlement in tn,
United States by more than forty years.
On Friday, November 10th, 1920, the Ma.
Flower with the Pilgrims made the harbor o
Prineetown and on the same day they signed tina
august compact the forerunner Of our present Clio
rious Constitution.
On Friday, December 22d, the Pilgrims mad
their final landing at Plymouth Rock.
On Friday, February 22d, George Washington
the father Of American freedom, was born.
GIN Friday, June 18th, Bunker Hill was seize,
and fortified.
On Friday, October 18th, III, the surrender o
Saratoga was made, which had such power and in
nucnce in inducing France to declare for our cause
On Friday, September 22d, 1850, the treason 0
Arnold was laid bare, which saved US from destruc
ton.
On Friday, October 10Th, 1871, the surrender a
Yorktown, the c%rowning glory of the America
arms, occurred.
On Friday, July 9Th, 177G, the motion in Con
grcss was made by John Adams, seconded by Rich
ard Henry Lee, that the United Colonies were, an
of right ought to be, free and Independent.
Thus, by numerous examples, we see that, how
ever it may he with other nations, Americans nee
never dread to begin on Friday any undertaken,
however momentous it may be: therefore ue sha
continue to publish the UoonSochet Patriot on Fir
day.

Two angels, one Of Life and one Of Death,
Passed DER the village as the morning
broke,
The dawn vas on their faces, ard beneath,
The sombrc houses heafsed with plumes oi
smoke.
Their attitude and aspcc, were tho same
Alike their features and their robes Of white
But one was crowned with amalanth, as with
fame,
And one with asphod,s, like flakes Of light
Isaw them pause on their celestial way
Then said l. with deep fear and doubt OPP
pressed
"Beat not so loud. my heart, les, thou betray
The place where thy beloved are at rest -
And he, who wore the crown Of asphodcs,
Descending Mt my door, began to knock,
And my soul sank within me as in wells
The wassrs sink before an earthquakes
shock.
recognized the nameless agony,
The terror and the .rcmor and the pain,
Ths, of before had filed aud haunted me,
And now returned with lhree-iold strength
again.
The door opened 10 my heavenly guest,
And listened, for | though; heard Gods
voice;
And knowing whatsoe'er he sen, was best,
Dared neither to lament nor to rejoice.
Then with smile that filled the house with
light,
my ssrand IL no, Death, bu, Life" he sal, ;,
And ere | answered, passing out of sigh,
On his celestial embassy he sped.
Twas At thy door, 0 friend, and not a, mine

Psssisg descended. and with voice divine,
Whispered . word that bad sound like
