SAND PILLARS.

Some of the Wonderful Phenomena OBJ.
served by Travellers.
The innumerable sandy mounds
found on the vast plains of Central
Asia were not easily accounted for;
but recent traveller witnessed phe-
nomenon that he thinks fully explains
their origin. Once in crossing one of
these desert regions he saw about
twenty pillars of sand suddenly rise
and whirl along in the distance. AS
they passed along, cloud of dust was
raised on the ground, apparently eight
or ten yards in diameter. This gradu-
ally assumed the form of column,
that continued to increase in height
and diameter as it moved over the
plain, appearing like mighty serpent
rearing its head aloft, and twisting it's
huge body into contortions in it's efforts
to ascend.
The pillars were of various sizes,
some twenty and thirty feet high, and
some assembled to near two hundred
feet. As the whirlwinds began gather
ing up the dust, one might have fancied
that antediluvian monsters were rising
into life and activity. The smaller
ones seemed to trip lightly over the
plain, bending their bodies in graceful
curves as they passed each other; while
those of larger dimensions revolyed
with gravity, swelling out their trunks
as they moved onward, till the sandy
fabric suddenly dissolved, forming a
great mound, and creating a cloud of
dust that was swept over the desert.
The same writer, in referring to
phenomenon of totally different char
acter, says: Many of my readers know
nothing practically of the mirage, and
thus they can neither appreciate the
beauty of this deception, nor estimate
the disappointment it creates. I fear
my pen can not give an adequate idea
of its tantalizing power on the thirsty
traveller. 1t has, however, often fallen
to my lot to witness it, when an appar-
ent lake stretched out before me,
tempting both man and beast to rush
on and Stake their burning thirst. Even
after years of experience have been
deceived by this phenomenon, SO real
has it appeared, and so many of its
peculiar and magical effects have been
preserved.
Sometimes vast cities seemed rising
on the plains, in which multitude of
towers, spires, domes and columns were
grouped together with picturesque
effect that neither poet or painter could
depict. And these were reflected in
the deceptive fluid with all the dis
tinctness of mirror; at times slight
breeze seemed to ruffie the placid sur
face, destroying the forms for a few
minutes, and then they reappeared.
Sometimes have been almost induced
to believe that vast tropical forests
were before me, where palms of gigan-
tic size, with their graceful foliage,
overtopped every other tree, and that
beyond were mountain crests, giving
reality to the scene that caused me for
the moment 20 doubt its being phan-
tom. At last l have passed over the
spot where the lake, the mighty city,
the vast forest had appeared, and found
nothing but small bushes and tufts of
grass growing on the steppe.- Youths

At MIDNIGHT.

II, in this dreary night, Q voice should sound,
And In the darkness light should al around
Ny pillow from the face Of one who came
Out Of the shining world to call my name,
And bid me leave the couch whsreon alone
lie and muse when half the night has nown,
To follow his bright feet along tbs way,
Up the gray heights into the golden day,
What earthly face would most wish to see,
What lips to kiss In parting ecstasy.
What hand to touch with lingering cares,
What voice to hear as grow motionlesst
Beneath the stars only one heart would know
What face alone could parting peace besto~,
What lips could waken loves deep vibrant thrfl
What hand could soothe and bid the heart be still
What voice could cheer my spirit for the flight
From the low earthlands through the silent night
And would that one heart seek to find is mats,
And, undivided, though 1t be so late,
Rs-echo al the music OF my own
In perfect concord Of responsive tone'
j fancy that q rustling stirs this air
And some sweet presence Is approaching there;
] hear tho echoiug music soft and low,
And Heaven has come to mel need not go.
