The Patriarch, it is now known, will not be at the Pannychides to-night. His health began failing when, over his objection, it was decided to hold the Mystery, and last week he betook himself to the Holy Mountain. This morning the Prophet" "Thou meanest Scholarius?"
One man among us has concentrated in himself the learning and devotion of the Christian East. You will see him directly, George Scholarius. By visions, like those in which the old prophets received the counsel of God, he was instructed to revive the Pannychides. His messengers have gone hither and thither, to the monasteries, the convents, and the eremitic colonies wherever accessible.
"Scholarius denounced him as an azymite, which is bad, if true; as unfaithful to God and the Church, which is worse; and as trying to convert the Emperor into an adherent of the Bishop of Rome, which, considering the Bishop is Satan unchained, will not admit of a further descent in sin. The Mystery tonight is Scholarius' scheme in contravention of His Serenity's efforts.
The road in the cut underfoot must bring the frocked host near enough to expose its spirit. The bellowing of the horns frightened the birds at roost in the melancholy grove, and taking wing, they flew blindly about. Then ensued the invasion of the enclosure in front of the Chapel Scholarius next the musicians.
The monks, the nuns, and the populace publicly proclaimed their detestation of the union; and their opposition was inflamed by the bigotry of an ambitious pedant, who, under the name of Georgius Scholarius, acted as a warm partisan of the union at the Council of Florence, and under the ecclesiastical name of Gennadius is known in history as the subservient patriarch of Sultan Mahomet II.

It was the voice of Scholarius, shrill and high; and before the Prince could recover from the shock, before he could make answer, or think of answering, the visionary was moving on; nor did he again look back. "What ails thee, Prince?"
It is but justice to the belligerents in the spiritual war to admit the zeal they have shown; Gregory the Patriarch, and his Latins, on the one side, and Scholarius and his Greeks on the other. They have occupied the pulpits alternately, each refusing presence to the other. They decline association in the Sacramental rites. In Sta.
The sepulchral tone of Father Theophilus was powerful over the benumbed faculties of His Majesty's guest; and he answered with a question: "Is not thy friend Scholarius a great preacher?" "On his lips the truth is most unctuous." "It must be so it must be so!
Suddenly the first torch gleamed on the second terrace scarce an hundred yards from the Chapel. "See him now there, behind the trumpeters Scholarius!" said Father Theophilus, with a semblance of animation. "He with the torch?" "Ay! And he might throw the torch away, and still be the light of the Church." The remark did not escape the Prince.
It commenced ascending the acute grade now it was in the cut and now, just below the Prince, it had but to look up, and its face would be on a level with his feet. At exactly the right moment, Scholarius did look up, and stop. The interchange of glances between the men was brief, and can be likened to nothing so aptly as sword blades crossing in a red light.
