Obey this great governing pow'r divine. Besides this impulse nothing is all else : From this attraction ev'ry motion seen On earth or in the heavens is derived.

The puny straw obeys the same attraction, And clings to the electrum willingly; Implanted in each nature is its bent Compelling ev'ry man to his pursuit. Distracted Mejnun this impulse obeys, It hands to La-i-ly his chain to draw, Compels Ferhād for Shyryn to lament, Commanding him Mount Biset in to dig; From heat the lamp will be a burning flame Which draws the moth its proper doom to seek ; The bulbul sighing for the rose obeys This bent when stung by brambles in his foot. When this attraction strength and power gets To love it turns, the body permeates. Abundance of this feeling so prevails That universal love the world maintains;

At first you nothing see but La-i-ly If love's origin you investigate; Although a flame a hundred thousand is, It is derived from a single spark From which the greatest conflagrations rise; It is its prevalence that fans the flame. O let this fiery ardour be in us, Its many sparks illuminate our hearts |

In the little Principality of Sãwant Wädi in many of the villages the office of Pâtil is held con jointly by several families. The several shares are termed wakals, and a representative of each wakal signs the village kabūlīyats and other papers. I have seen the signatures of as many as eight wakal dārs on a kabūliyat. Sometimes one wakaldär is a Brahman, another a Prabhū, and another a Ma

rāthā. In other parts of the country where I have been, such a watan is often held by many share holders, but then they hold as descendants of a common ancestor, who acquired the watan, and but one of the family signs the papers. Can any correspondents of the Indian Antiquary give in stances of a practice similar to that in Sãwant Wädi obtaining elsewhere? E. W. W.

Attraction drives each dancing atom far With other atoms to its special sphere, It draws the gard'ner to the rosy grove, Conveys the coalman to the furnace hot. If you the nadir to the zenith scan, Exceptions to this law you cannot find; In fire, in wind, in earth, in water, not

Beneath the earth up to the lofty sky, The same attraction must govern them all,
