A WRITER describes tho present ap? pearance ot' thc place where languages got mixed :-"After n ride of niue milos, we were at the foot of thc Rier-Xiturood. Our horses' feet wero trampling upou the remains of bricks which showed herc and thero through the accumulated dust and rubbish of uges. Re loro our eyes uprose a grout mound of earth, barron and bare. This was Ri er- Ni tn rood, the ruins of the Tower of Dubai., by which the first boil lern of tho earth har' vainly hoped to scale high heaven. Here, also, <t was that Nebuchadnezzar built, for bricks bearing his name hove boon found in tho ruins. At tho top of the mound a great muss of brick work nioroes the accumulated soil. With your finger you touch tho very bricks-largo, square-shaped, and massive-that were thoroughly burued, the very mortar, now hard as granito, bundled more than 4000 years ago by earth's impious peo? ple. From tho summit of the mound, far away over thc plain, wo seo glisten? ing tho gilded domo of a mosque, reflecting thc bright rays o? the morning sun. This was thc tomb of tho holy Ali. To Pr?y beforo this at somo period ol hi? life ; to kiss tho sacred dust of tho earth nround there at somo time or other j to bend hi? body and count Iiis beads, is the daily desire of overy devout Moliamudan." -A Clergyman addressed his female auditor* as follow* : "He not proud tbat our blessed Lord paid your ?ex tho distinguished honor of appearing first to -a female afior resurrection, for it was Duly that the glad tidings might be .p! ead the suooer."
