"BLEssINc THE The follow.
ING anecdote taken from book of travels
in Russia, will gIve'a good idea Of the Nigh
ty influence which religious fanaticism ex'
erts over the human mind:
THE Bishop of NicoIaieff was zealous
christian. 1t was at the epoch of perform
ing this ceremony (of"blessIng the waters')
that the thermometer marked thirty degrees
of cold, and cutting wind swept over the
plans which extended TO the east Of Nieo-
laietf. Not soul was to be seen in the
streets. The crows fell down dead with
cold-it was the desolating cold blast OF the
deseft--the bleak wind which froze the
French Iegions-nothing animate could re-
sist it long. The Boog, whose waters were
TO be blessed, runs at distance of mile
from the. e.centre of the town. Now, it was
probable, Under such circumstances, that IL
the ceremony were allowed to proceed -
on ordinary occasions, one half Of the at
tendants would perish. The Governor con-
sequently prevented the procedure in the
ordinary way, but ordered a buckeyul Of
patesto be brought frsm the rirer 10 me
church, there blessed and consecroted, dSd
Mrn restored 10 tie parent stream. This was
good homeopathic practice, and much suf.
ferinz and mischief were thus avoided
But no persuasion, no arguments, would
prevail upon the Bishop to desist from the
usual performance of the rites. He would.
and did, sit down by the waters of Babel.--
He could not weep. but globules Of ice rep
resented his tears. He was brought home
in state Of exhaustion, and died raying
mad few days afterwards"
