THE TOWERS OF SILENCE.

The prince of Wales and some of his suite
We're allowed to visit the famous flowers
of Silence" where the bodies of the dead are
exposed to be devoured by v%ultures. They
were the first Europeans who have ever been
permitted to enter the gloomy portal of this
strange place Of sepulture. The towers are
tive IN number, are circular, and are so well
built that the oldest has stood for 200 years
without requiring to be repaired. They are
formed of huge stone slabs well cemented
together, and the largest cost ESQ, 900. fit
may be assumed that the four other towers
cost on an average 100000 each we should
have q tenth of a million invested in these
buildings alone. Add that Sir. Jamshidie
gave 100, 000.square yards Of land and defray-
ed the expenses Of u road, and some idea
may be formed of the cost ofthe whole ceme-
terry. They are under the charge of the
Parsee sect, who are noted for their rigid
exclusiveness, and it was something Of a sur
prise to the natives as we'll as foreigners that
the permission was granted. The origin Of
this very singular method Of disposing
of the dead is due nc doubt to the. ven
Grafton with which the Parsees regard the
elements. Fire is too pure to be polluted by
committing corpses to the flames, water is
almost equally venerated, and SO is mother
earth. Hence this strange custom has been
adopted by which it is thought none OF the
impurities can pollute the elements.

SNOWFLAKEs.

Snowhake3 falling, every falling,
Through the gaunt and leafless trees;
Chilly gloom the soul appalling,
AS the very snowlahes free;
Freeze Oh gable, wall and tower
OF the ghostly church beyond;
Freeze on i~yy-mantled ruin
Close beside the Witches pond
Pond, whose black unholy waters
Shaded by tall dismal Yews,-
Heave ard swell with sullen motion,
When no breath of Heaven pursues.
Meier shall breath of Heaven lingcr
On this pool so dark and dread,
For & fearful crime lies hidden
Deep within its murky bed.
Namelcss is the crimh; forgotten,
save for this unresting tide
Seeming to resent its waters
Should so dire a death-deed hide,
.Snowflakes rest not on its bosom;
Frosts ne'er sparkle DER its face;
Birds and beasts and insects shun it, !.
Seeking other resting-place.
But the snowla1es still are falling,
Whitening all the earth around;
Dark and dense them selves appearing,
Ire they hover to the ground.
Thus Oft messengers FROM Heavcn,-
Trials, SORROWS, pains, and tears
Look all black when distant from us;
But as each our poor heart nears,
Then we find how pure and tender,-
Soft as snowflake to the touch,-
Proves the trial shat we shrlnk from,
Strove against, and fear'd so much.
