The A JOURNEY OVER THE GREAT DESERT.

Br Washington Bates. mm If nra a i nnvrfocciKln ArYitt rT a i A i turned my back on the Pyramids, the ruined cities of Egypt, and the bright waters of the! immortal Nile. The Great Desert, with its unbroken solitudes and desolations, was be fore me; seemingly inviting me to tread its burning and sandy bosom. I left Cairo with six camels, five Arabs, a young ana a good supply on provisions, and took up my line of march across the desert, for the Atlantic coast. It was truly a novel expeaition.

io eanmy object could be gained by it; unless it were to gratify a love of adventure, and take a few glances at "desert-life." Well, that wna nmirrb And we felt as well sat- isfiedin view of our expedition, as does a Persian or Arabian nobleman, when he goes to visit a remote portion of his province, and is accompanied by a long retinue oi servanisi "iitiutti and cavalrv Ion sleep. I awoke one of them and request AePrt i almost uniform. What can be said of one day's adventures, may, with a few exceptions, be said of ano- ther. Some travelers have complained of monotonv. For mv own Dart.

I found none. Nor do I know why I should differ from oth ers who have preceded me in these adven tures. unless it is. because I love the savage haunts of nature. There is something in march spiring, something caDtivatinff in a over these sterile wastes If we find not the rush and din of commerce, nor the mighty populace of crowded cities, we find enough to repay an investigation: in other words, it in many places man is absent, God is near.

The great desert called by tne Arabs, Zahara constitutes one of the most interest ing features in physical geography. Being fairly upon it, I found, for the first time in my life, that there is a wide difference be tween traveling over the map, and practical ly measuring the world by miles and leagues And an nil nersnna will find it. And it IS deeply interesting to study geography in its view of the adaptation of man to the earth, and of the earth to man. If our world were rfPAirhofvejretation.it would produce calamities no mind can estimate; it a I to nnnose a barrier to cm: nor t.nn 4ii iinw inmr thp hi.man race would .1 continue its onward Drosress of numerical millions. The oceans on our globe are not only a highway for nations, but agents of purification of atmospheres sweeping over irreat cont nents: carrvmir with them the rmwdnd towns and cities, and of decomposing forests.

And. with a little thought, it will be seen that the deserts are purifiers, not less than the oceans I ot the world. IVlany a miasma nas crept on i the almost endless Zahara; but before it found its wav to the Atlantic coast, west- ward, it expired beneath the burning sun orlFezzen, we saw a splendid mtrag-e. And it a mi A thf nnssrs of the atmosphere. And I made its appearance at a time, too.

One morning, having been on our way about two hours, we discovered a small caravan a Ionir way ahead.

Anxious for company, we overtook them just before middav. Ihey were merchants returning from Cairo with their goods, But such ob- iects of compassion I have never seen, be- fore nor since. Their supply of water had been exhausted forty-eight hours before. They had no food.

And in a voice 01 mu der, rendered more fearful because it was the last echo of despair, he exclaimed to his followers Press on the caravan! press on! press on! The camels caught the spirit of fear. They tried to speed on, but in vain for they sunk on the sands, and so did their riders. We had only time to dismount. The Sirocco was upon us.
