RELIC OF YUSUF SHEICKI.

[_]

(From the Ottoman.)

What a senseless dream of the reason of Man,
To think it can rifle the Great Caravan
Of Allah's inscrutable Will and Existence;
When the tinkling tones of the Caravan-bell,
As the Caravan moves through the misty Dell
Of the world, are themselves half-lost in the Distance,
