From anew work by Rev. H. J.
Van Lennep, entitled “ Bible Lands,
their modern customs and manners,”
we extract the follow tag description of
some of the oriental fanatical sects :
There, for example, are “the whirling Der
vishes.” Their notion seems to be that the
highest form of religious contemplation consists
in a dreamy dizziness, which is produced in Ihe
following manner: Their Sheikh takes his
place on a small mattress near the edge ot a
circular space, occupying the centre of Home
chapel. After prayer, the Dervishes,barefoot,
stand round the circle with crossed arms ami
hands resting on their shoulders. The silence
is broken by the music ol flules, in a plaintive
key. One, then another of the Dervishes,
eyes closed and arms out-stretched, begins to
whirl like a top, first slowly, and then rapidly
round the circle, his robe extending in the
form of a cone five feet in diameter. The
music now becomes animated: tambourines
join in ; the rapidly whirling Dervishes keep
remarkably clear of each other, and finally
come to a standstill, each finishing with a
graceful bow to the Sheikh.
Again, there are “the howling Dervishes,”
whose dancing is infinitely more Irantic, ending
in exhibitions of absolute madness, such as
bloody foaming at the mouth, horrible yell
ings, and often fits, the last stage of which is
utter insensibility. These devotees are in the
habit also of cutting themselves with knives
and stones.
“While,” remarks Dr. Van Lennep, “we
cannot deny that we have long known some
howling Dervishes who were honest men, pow
erfully influenced by fanaticism, such as is oc
casionally exhibited at Western camp-meet
ings, yet the principal character among them
are rogues, and their public exhibitions usually
frauds. It is in the latter that they pass iron
skewers through the skin of their necks, and
perform all the tricks of the fire eater.”
A correspondent of the Nashville
American gives the following descrip
tion of a visit he recently paid to
Spurgeon’s Chapel, in London, and of
this fatuous preacher’s sermon :
Like moat English-speaking foreigners who
visit London, I found myself, one beautiful
Sunday morning in July, crossing the Black
friars’ bridge toward the chapel, or rather
great temple, of Rev. C. H, Spurgeon.
Arriving at the gate and finding several per
sona standing within, I inquired if strangers
were allowed seats. I was directed to an
officer of the church, a few steps away, who
handed me and my friend each a small envel
op, saying: “ Enclose some contribution, what
ever yon like, and drop it into the box aH you
go in.”
Doing as instructed, we passed intothemain
audience room, where we were told to sit upon
the little stools in the aisle till the hour of
service, when all unfilled spaces in the pews
would be free.
We were early, and so were enabled to ob
serve the coming of the vast congregation.
As the hand on the clock came to 11, Mr.
Bpurgeon entered quietly and took his chair
upon the platform, beside a table, there being
no sign of a pulpit.
His entrance was the signal for us to “ come
up higher,” and we exchanged our hard stools
for places in a well cushioned pew, not many
feet from the preacher’s platform. At the same
time the great front doors were thrown open
and in surged the vast eruwd of “strangers at
the gate,” till every place of sitting and all
available standing places were full.
Soon all was quiet and Mr. Spurgeon offer
ed an earnest, brief invocation, followed by a
hymn, which was sung by the whole congre
gation, led by a chorister. Such a volume of
voice and power of sacred song I had never
heard before in any church.
The preacher then read some Scripture,
familiarly and most pertinently commenting
upon it as he proceeded-
After prayer, and another song, the text was
read ami Mr. Spurgeon, stepping away from
the table, began his discourse. 1 cannot re
port the sermon, nor would it lie particularly
interesting here, if 1 could. Nor can 1 ana
lyst' it so as to give any adequate idea of its
power or parts. Following a method, better
known in my profession than in the theolog
ical, I might say something of its “active prin
ciple’ and “salutary Asults.”
Since Buskin and other great writers have
listened to, and criticised not unfavorably the
sermons of Mr. Spurgeon, 1 might tie expected
to say nothing regarding them. But as every
American has a right to an opinion and the
liberty to express it, pretty generally, whether
it tallies with others or not, 1 will venture a
slight expression for home reading. Mr
Spurgeon has, naturally, excellent powers of
observation, with a fine memory and powerful
reasoning faculties. Such is the balance
among these, and such the training they have
received, that they work with great apparent
ease as well as precision and force, lie is ed
ucated in books and educated in mankind, or
in human nature, so that he applies what
comes from the one to the condition and wants
of the other with the greatest readiness and
effect. Then, above all, and through all, ami
for all, he is thoroughly trained in the “school
of Christ,” so that his every (acuity and all
his learning, and every sympathy and aspira
tion ot his being, seem merged in the effort to
turn the world from “sin to righteousness.”
His language is plain, strong English, un-

equivocal and right to the point. All bis fig
ures and illustrations are simple and familiar,
drawn Irom every day life. His pointß are
based upon or have an object in human ac
tions, the fartherest possible from the abstract
and far away flights not uncommon among
those who utterly fail while they earnestly
strive to “ persuade men." And he is as fear
less in denouncing evil as in proclaiming what
he knows to be good.
So intensely does he regard his hearers, and
so closely hold them, as he brings forv ard fact
after fact, and principle after principle, with
illustrations and applications, that each feels
the argument is for himseif, and not an eye
wanders, nor an ear is closed, till he is done.

TOO SMALL TO HELP.
“I am so unhappy, mamma deal,
Because 1 am so small !
You have such lots of work to do,
And I can't help at all.”
“O, yes, my little Annie dear,
Yon help me every day,
When I am busy keeping Pet
So happy at her play.
“ You bring your papa’s slippers down ;
You feed the pussy cat;
Yon catch my rolling ball of yarn ;
And, better still than that,
“ You always keep a smiling face
To cheer your mother's heart,
Though big folks wash, and sweep, and dust,
You do your little part!”
TIIE JHGIC Of SILENCE.
You have often heard “it takes two
to mate a quarrel.” Do you believe
it ? I’ll tell you how one of my little
friends managed:
Dolly never came to see Marjorie
that there was not a quarrel. Marjorie
tried to speak gently, but no matter
how hard she tried, Dolly finally made
her so angry that she would soon
speak sharp words too.
“0, what shall I do?” cried poor lit
tle Marjorie.
“Suppose you try this plan,” said
her mamma; “the next time Dolly
comes in, seat yourself in front of the
fire, and take the tongs in your hand.
Whenever a sharp word comes from
Dolly, gently snap the tongs, without
speaking a Word.”
Soon afterwards, in marched Dolly,
to see her little friend.
It was not a quarter of an hour be
fore Dolly’s temper was ruffled, and
her voice was raised, and, as usual, she
began to find fault and scold. Marjo
rie fled to the hearth, and seized the
tongs, snapping them gently.
More angry words from Dolly.
Snap went the tongs.
More still. Snap.
“Why don’t you speak?” screamed
Dolly, in a fury. Snap went the tongs.
“Speak!” said she. Snap was the
answer.
“I’ll not come again, never!” cried
Dolly.
Away she went. Did she keep her
promise? No, indeed. She came the
next day, hut seeing Marjorie run for
the tongs, she solemnly said if she
would only let them alone, they would
quarrel no more forever and ever.

Dr. Pritchard is to preach the
annual sermon at the approaching com
mencement of the University of North
Carolina.
Brother Lofton, in The Baptist, re
ports |3,023 50 as the amount raised
by him during the month of January,
for the University at Jackson.
Out of the 832 students who at
tend the leading Scottish Universities
last year, two-thirds of them were the
sons of poor parents.
Public instruction has received a
great impulse in Portugal, lately. In
the small towns there is a continual
increase of teachers, while in the capi
tol and other large cities night schools
and those for adults are beiDg con
stantly established.
Vanderbilt University, at Nash
ville, now has two hundred students in
its medical department, one hundred
and fifty in the literary, thirty in the
theological, and twenty in the law.
A Chinese young lady has just
applied to the school board of San
Francisco for a position as teacher in
the public schools.
Education is making progress in
Russia. It appears from official docu
ments that in 18fi0 only one conscript
out of each hundred was able to read
and write, while in 1870 the average
had risen to eleven in each hundred,
and this average has been still further
increased of late years.
• ♦
The little machine some time since
invented in France, by the aid of which
stenographic writing may be accom
plished at the rate of between two and
three hundred words per minute, is
claimed to have proved a practical suc
cess. It seems to be very simple.
There is a keyboard, operated by the
hand, and composed of twelve "black
and an equal number of white keys ;
and on each side of the instrument is
a large key, moved by the pressure of
the wrist, and serving to give supple
mentary signs which simplify the read
ing of the characters printed. All the
keys, when opeiated, produce indica
tions in ink on a roll of paper, which
is taken from a reel in manner similar
to that on the Morse telegraphic appa
ratus; the black keys, however, give
long marks, while the white ones cause
similar dots to be tianscribed. At
each pressure of the fingers on the key
board, the paper is automaticall / un
rolled for about 0.02 of an inch, so
that on each line any combination of
twelve double signs may be imprinted
and these signs are arranged in three'
groups of four each, and read from
left to right in the ordinary manner.
The number of characters which may
be made on each division of four is
more than sufficient to require a single
movement to form a singe letter; in
other words, with practice, three let
ters or less can be written at once. If
the useless letters be suppressed, such
as double letters, e mute, etc., fre
quently a single movement will pro
duce an entire word. The manipula
tion of the keyboard requires about six
months’ practice to ensure skill.

inestimable blessing of health is too often for
