TIE EGYPTIASs.-The Gipsy question has
long been puzzle to Europeans and volumes
without number have been written upon it
The controversy, however, has been a very
pToftless one for no jury competent to decide
has been appealed TO. 1t does seem strange
that the Gipsies themselves, who surely must
know better than any other people who they
are and whence they have come, should not
have been asked to give their opinion. Had
this been done, the Egyptian origin of the
race would hardly have been debated, for
that to which the Gipsies cling more than all
things else, that which they assert most earn
estly Of all, is the fact that they are, in very
truth, the sons of Egypt. This is the great
secret which they speak OF In their own fore
ign tongue, SO that the GentileS ofthe nations
may not hear it. This, too, is what they
teach their children And il would be a
marvellous thing if nation so widely scatter
ed as theirs should be wholly mistaken.
They have had no motive for saying they are
Egyptians-no motive whateyer-unless II
were true. If II be false, it is a falsehood,
the telling of which has profted them nothing.
But more than this, it may be asserted that
iflt had not been for the pride they take in
Keeping the blood and race of Egypt pure,
they would long ago have amslgsmated with
the rest of the human family, and have cess.
ed to appear as distinct people on the face
of the earth Make Of it what one will, there
they are at this hoCr scattered everywhere,
from here TO HindoossaD, from sunny Spain t.
frozen Siberia, nursing the pride Of the race
and training their offspring TO do the same.
How they would curl the lip in scorn-hoW
they would sneer the simpleton down who
would venture to enter their tents in order to
teach them that they are anything but what
they profess to be, even the representatives
of the great nation of antiquity, whose land
was watered by the Nile and governed by the
Pharoabs s-JstciSk Chronicle.

SIrrINs IN CHURcH-An American writes
from London, that in the churches he has at.
tended there, whoever comes first, whether
gentleman or lady, takes the further seat in
the slip, and those that follow ill up the re /;
naming seats, preventing the awkward die
turbsnce which occurs in our churches at
the m ales, In order to isolate the woman at
the further end of the pew. The habit so uni.
versal among US originated with the early
settlers, who sat near the doors of the pews,
so that in case of an attack from Indians, they
might be ready for action. The custom is one
which might be advsntsgeously changed.
