been lighted, and, by way of passing our time, we
had commenced a critical examination of the mem

stretched out my hand to regain it ; but it was be
yond my reach, and it sank down flit I saw it no
more. It is'prie—lost, I°sll4:never!'" And in deep
gloom she turned to depart.
" Stay mourner ! Grieve not, bat look again into
the raters Fi
She looked, and a cry of joy brut from her lips—
"lt is there! I see it flowing upon the dremal
wave. Oh shall it not be c mine once more !"
The answer tame—" Nay, but thou art deceived.
What thou seest is but the semblance of what was
thine. Yet turn thy eyes upward and rejoice."
She obeyed and beheld a star Gleaming from a
bright spat of azure in the murky sky, whose rays
i gave even the waves of that gloomy river a tinge
of br:ghtness, and whose reflection there she hart
Imistaken for her own lost gem.
Then came a tender and musical voice as the
beautiful appearance vanished —" Blonmer, these
restless billows, th h, fearful and dark to thee, roll
up to the gate of Heaven. Ever faithful to their
mist, they bore the jewel—which was lent rot g:r
en to thee—to its ri2hilul owner, the monarch of
Heaven ; and, transferred to His care it will shine
forever in His glorious resting. place."
The mourner departed with a countenance
thoughtful, ye: cheerful her gaze no ',anger bent
upon earth or the river ct Leath, but as meekly
and trustingly raised to Heaven.

TIDE PERILS OF TOE DESERT,
By the time we were approaching the most 'els
rated point of
,central Alia, a Wail& wind had sal
in from the netth, which lasted fifteen dare, and in
creased the rigor of the cold to a degree that threa
tened us with meat misfortunes. The sky was still
clear, hit the cold wager? terrihle that even acalt;3-
day the influence of the son wee scarcely percepti . -
te. Even during the day,,and of coonse still more
during the night mower,' under the continued ap
prehension of being frozen to death. I m,ay men ;
tion one circumstance that will give an idea of the
extrettity of the cold. Every morning before setting
off ; the caravan lased to take a meal, and then not
again until they encamped : but as the Tramba
was a kind of food so little agreeable that It
difficult tto tate enough of it at once to support us
dining the day, we used totsoak in tea two or three
balls of it to keep in reserve for the day's inamey
We wrapped op this boiling part in very warm Sri
en, and placed it on our breast : and over this we
had our clothing, namely a garment of sheepskin
and Alien a short garment of fox's skin, and over
all a great woken coat. Now daring this fortnight
we constantly found theballs of Tramba frozen, and
when we drew them from cur bosoms they were
so hard that we almost broke oar teeth in attempt
ing to eat them. The cattle suffered greatly, ecpe:.
chilly the mutes and horses, which are not so woof:
as the oxen. We had to dress them in carpets and
and tie camel's skin round their bea ts . ; and in
any other circumstances their appearance would
certainly hare excited our hilarity, but now we
were in no humor for laughing. ; for notwi - hstandine,
all precautions the mule of the caravan were deci
mated by death.
The numerous !rozen ricers that we had to pass
occasioned us much trouble, especially the camels,
whit b are so awk ward that we were ob:ii.ted 113 braL4
a path for them by strewing sand on the ice, even
then we had to lead them very carefully, one after
the other ; and if one of them chanced to make a
false step and fall. it was scarcely possible to get it
tip again. First we had to relieve them of their
baggage. and then to drag them on their sides to
the river bank, or spread ca:pets‘for them, arid tog
at them with all their might but very often to nd
pu.-pose ; they would not make the slightest effort
to rise, and they had at last to be abandoned for it
was impossible, in this frightful country, to stay I
waiting on the whims of a camel All these hard- .
ships threw many of the travelers into deep dejact;t
ion. To the mortality of the animals, was now
adds.d that of men, whom the cold seized and who
were left to perish on the road. One day, when the
exhaustion of our beasts of burden bad compelled
CR to slacken our maneb, we perceived a traveler
seated by the way side, on a large stone. His head
was bent down, his arms pressed against his sides,
and he remained motionless as a statue. We call
! him several times but fie made no answer, and we
thought he had not head us What madness, we
sad :o step on the road such weather. This on
. lartniale man will certainly die of cold. We called
him again : bat as he still did not answer, we al- .
r , ined and went toward him. His face bad the
at'
ap
pearance of wax, hise3 es were half open and gin
; sy and he had Etiefes suspent'ed to his nostrils and
the comers of he.tmoci.h. He just tinned his eye,
