The Howling Dervishes.

Que aces many disgusting exhibitions
in the East, but not one that is more so
than the ceremony performed by the
Howling Dervishes. To be sure, it is

vent.
Many and unsuccessful were our own
attemps for a sight of the mystery. until
we at last succeeded in procuring the
gracious notice Of the arch priest at
Broussa to our excellent recommeuda-
iions by letter and personally from two
gentlemen of Influence, whose acquaiut.
ancc we had made To these insignia,
we vcnturcd to add our own earnest as
surauce that we would behave with all
due reverence and preserve face of be-
Al the door, three youths who had
been stationed there by the imam to
wait upon us, and prevent tho crowd
from impeding our view, stopped to take
off our slippers This done, we were
ushered upstairs toa small room bes ide
the chapel, through whose latticed win
dows we we're to gaze upon the mystery.
The walls of the chapel present a fero.
cious sort of decoration, reminding one
Of the chambers Of the Inquisition.
Like the mosques, and other holy places,
they are ornamentcd with written sem
tenccs from the Koran But there is
with these dervishes a difference which
cLills you-thc suspended bat'lc.axes,
chains, skcwers, piucers, spikes. which
are used to torture themselves when the
religious frenzy becomes too intolcrable
for the expression of the voice or Of mo
ton.
The youths who formed our escort
placed us in tn, best possible position
to view the scene, and, then arranging
themselves on each side, kept back the
ihrong, Many and bitter were the muf
fed imprecations upon the giaours which
arose from those beaten off as they tried
hard to force within our charmed circle.
Oar small apartment filled fast, until,
the heat becoming oppressive, our drag
oman observed thvt. if air wero not ad.
mitted, be was sure wo could not stay.
Upon this, the youths Immediately
stopped oil further entrance of spectators,
and opened a small lattice, throOgh which
passed gentle breeze. imparting a de-
licious coolness to that part ofthe room
where we were stationed.
A low monotonous chant rose to the
lattice we looked, and saw u train of
dcrvisheS entering the chapel, beaded by
their high priest The dervishes pros
trateG themselves upon the earth their
forebends iu the dust the priest stretch
ed forth his open palms to heaven,repeat-
ed a long low prayer. A tiger-skin was
then spread before the Mihrab, and upon
this the priest stationed himself A rict
green scarf was offered, with which he
begirt himself with much ceremony.
Then commenced low horrifying wall,
echoed by the whole fraternity, who sat
rocking their bodies to aud fro till their
forehruds almost touched the floor.

The education Of the royal children

The Dykes of Holland.

The dykes, at first sight, strike the
behJider as no extraordinary work and
it is not until we find that considerable
part of the country of Holland lies some
twenty four feet beneath the level of the
sea at high.tide, and that it has merely
fence Of mud. banks TO foriify the land
against the tcrrors of invasion from the
host of waters about it, that the mind
becomes awakened TO the vastness and
importance of the structures Nor is it
in summer time. when the surrounding
rivers arc half dried up, and the ocean
without is placid and beautiful as some
vast lake. that we are able to arrive at a
sense ofthe protection made by the belt
of sea-wallS to the people within them
but only during the tempests Of winter,
when the terrible waves are towering to
the sky, like liquid mountains and the
tide has risen many feet above its usual
height, owing to the Immense body of
water from the Atlantic having been
driven by tho gales across the German
ocean towards the narrow straits Of
Dover, and there being damned up as it
were, so that the vast food is forced back
upon the Dutch coast, aud leans all its
stupeudous weight against the ridge of
dykes around the Neither country. 1t is
at such times, indeed, that we learn how

feet high, and their foundation, which is
generally of clay,s from one hundred aud
twenty to one hundred aud fifty feet in

clay-if not entirely, at least on the out

The Shot we have to Pay.
For peace heard the cannon bang,

And pcnny-wisc, at last we've found,

Some architecture would replace

Divided into many sums
For one thing, cleared off all the slums.
The Thames might now be brained- or near

With salmon soon as gudgeon thick
At least as high as Hampton Wick

That people might not grow up fools,

Oh what strcsa, oh what = strain

To work that debt out so immense,

We've had to wipe a bleeding nose,
And through that nose condemned to pay

Whereby we may preserve the Peace.
