The glorles Of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things
There Is no armor against Fate;
Death lays his Icy hand on kings:
Scepter and crown
Must tumble down,
And In the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
Some men with swords may reap the field
And plant fresh laurels where they kill;
But their strong nerves at last must yield:
They tame but one another still.
Early or late
They stoop to Fate,
Aud must give up their murmuring breath
When they, pale captives, creep to Death.
The garlands wither on your brow:
Then boast no more your mighty deedsl
Upon Deaths purple altar now
See where the victor victim bleeds,
Your heads must come
To the cold tomb,
Only tho actions Of the Just&
Smell sweet and blossom In their dust.

eArERs OF INDIAN HEMP.
How tho Hashish Drunbard Carries On a
Debauch In Methodical Manner.

How the Hashish Drunkard Carries On q
Debauch In a BTethodical Manner.
Old and experienced hemp eaters go very
methodfcaliy TO work. They say that TO
relish hemp one must first abstain from all
stimulating food and drink for brief
period; for only after short fast can one
taste TO the full the delights Of hashish and
render ones system fully susceptible to its
influence. So, for several days previous to
the "orgien the experienced hemp eater eats
no meat, drinks neither wine nor spirit,
lives mainly upon vegetable foods. light
pastry, and ripe fruits, and smokes little.
On the day Of the debauch he rises very
early and fastS till the afternoon, when the
friends who are to join him arrive. They
prepare for dinner by taking q strongly
charged pipe, and inhaling the thick, white
smoke. A light meal is then served, in
which plenty Of sweet pastry figures, and
each Of the company retires to his cushion
prepared for the evenings indulgence. Mu-
slcians are stationed at the end of the apart
ment, dancing girls are introduced, or, II the
host is q very wealthy man, he orders his
own slaves In. Hemp boluses are passed
around, and the pipes we'll charged with the
drug. For this purpose tobacco ia first laid
in the bowl; upon this small charge of pure
fired by the means of glowing ember of
charcoal and saltpetre, which has been
mingled with honey and dried. Strong and
we'll sweetened coffee Is handed round, and
while the dancing and music go on the sinok-
ers begin. Lounging back, they suck the
smoke into the lungs and air passages, send
ing it forth again through the widely dis
tended nostrils, and, gazing upon the forms
aud fnpnc v,nettirinn md ravnivtnoy l,afo,a
them, the hashashin swims Off in sea of
blissful content that verges upon ecstasy.
As soon as the pipe is exhausted strong
coffee without sugar is taken, and this rouses
the dreamers from their vision Of delight
But ''bolusn Of hemp cake, and another
pipe well charged, stimulates afresh the ex-
cited imagination, and sends them Off again
into their dreaInlands. The singers chant
their love songs, and the almehs sway in
their passionate dances. This goes on for
hours, fresh pipes and coffee being passed
around at intervals, tho smokers waking
from one dream only to 60 or into another.
Such an orgie, indeed, Is sometimes pro-
tracted for two or three days. Then lassi-
tude and exhaustion ensue, and the hashash
experiences q sort of revulsion against the
drug which lasts for some weeks, when the
longing for IL returns. In many parts
among the Belstaches, for example--there
arc regular gatherings for hemp smoking,
Just as the Nsairie Of Syria meet ON certain
days to drink hemp tea. The poorer classes
find opportunities for indulging in the drug
In the so called smeshashn or hemp houses.
These are forbidden in most moslem coun-
tries. But though the law may prohibit, it
cannot suppress these places.--St. James
Gazette,
