FoREIGN MIscELLANY.-Th Turks celebrate a
fast ola months duration. The obligation for
the observance is found in the Koran This
year their Lent continued from the 18th of
April to the Middle of May, or thereaboats,-
During this month every good Moslem is bound
to fast from the first appearance of day-break
until sunset. He must abstain from eating,
drinking, smoking, smelling perfumes and all
other unnecessary indulgences or pleasures of
q worldly nature Some of the faithful are so
strict that they will not even speak lest they
breathe the air too freely. To make amends for
the fast ofthe day the Mosle1ns generally feast
all night The reason given for the Fast of
"Ramazau" is that the Prophet received his
revelation during the period set apart The
characteristics of this Lent month of the Mo-
hammedans is thus described:
The day is passed by the rich in sleep or in
total idleness. Every Moslen, with the excep-
tion of Travellers chidron, and invalids, is for
hidden to taste food or drink, to smoke or take
snuff, from sunrise to sunset; and very wretched
do they look, squatting on their divau or at the
door, without the favorite pipe in their mouths,
and having no other occupation than counting
their beads. This fast is in general rigidly
kept. 81 have seen tbs boatmen (says Mr..
Hurner) lean on their oars almost lanting; but i
never saw-nevcr met with any one who pro-
fessed to have seen-an instance in which they
yielded to the temptation of violating tho fast"
The moment of sunset, is of course, eagerly look
ed for; it is announced by the firing Of cannons.
1t might be Imagined that the first act of the
hungry and thirsty would be to eat and drink;
but numbers of Turks may be seen, their pipes
ready filled, and the fire TO light them in their
hands, awaiting the welcome signal, every
other qualification being postponed for that of
inhaling the fragrant weed. The night is pas
sed in devotional forms ofrevelry. All the mos
ques are open, and all the cotfee-houses; the
latter are crowded with Turks, smoking, drink
ing coffee, and listening to singers and story
tellers. The minarets are illuminated, and the
streets are crowded with the faithful.
