THE HOWADJI IN SYRIA.

GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS,

AUTHOR OF "NILE NOTES."

"I am a part of all that I have met,

Yet all Experience is an arch wherethro'

Gleams that untravelled world whose margin fades

Forever and forever, when I move."

TENNYSON.

"Gottes ist der Orient,

Gottes ist der Occident,

Nord-und südliches Gelände

Ruht im Frieden seiner Hände."

GOETHE.
