mentioned already one mon eatery or more in the Holy Land The early European Christians conceived that there was great merit in visiting by way of pilgrimage the scenes of tne sufferings of tbe Saviour but they found the whole country in the hands of ferocious and savage enemies of the religion of tbe Cross Travel could not be safely performed nor could en- be found European gers and religious men founded teries everywhere often strongly fied as places of tbe pilgrims and of hospitality and these yet re- main They are Catholic Greek and ian and inasmuch as the dangers of travel still remain in large districts there are few taverns for the commodation of Europeans they are the resort of the traveler of tho ent day You are received and lodged generally supplying your own sions They tarnish you security and a place to eat and sleep If you have any peculiar claim to respect or con- sideration they furnish yon everything else in but all right-minded persons on leaving them present a gift to the establishment equal to the cost of tbe tions These exceedingly useful ore located with ence on the sites of most memorable events in the life of the Savior and Apostles and haying been so early located they are interesting Palestine in its social condition presents other and of tbe same character You see a party of Syrians or Arabs at rest in their camp or on their march and yon have exactly before you the rest or the progress of a party of persons in the same country thousand years ago Patriarchs women children maidens amid swarms of camels asses and goats Loathsome

There is one dish which is always quid Each eats by dipping a sop into tbe common dish So you see how tional and probable are the histories of tbe betrayal of our Lord by Judas But I must On with my We left the good monks of Kamlah at five o'clock on Thursday morning and through inconceivably crooked and narrow pathways emerged upon the plain of Sharon An hour or two to bring us into tbe mountains of which separate that plain from tbe valley of Jordon and the Dead Sea The ascent is steep the mountains are a mass or system irregular and almost unrelieved by valleys In fact all of Palestine including tho site of lem and the scenes of Scripture history consists of these mountains tho beautiful Sharon which lies be- tween them and tbe Mediterranean Tell weary hours we toiled in making our way np those mountains to find tno Holy City the summit of one we descended it ascend another still higher and the roads often sharp steep stone ways Which only a trained animal can ascend or descend safety Nor have yon ever seen any such mountain scenes Grordens fields trees plants and shrubs disappear chalky rocks lie heaped on no house or habitation of man or beast or verdure except here and there a tuft of brown dead bushes or withered for want of water or sign of life except here and there a shepherd armed with his reed and his dog and bis flock of sheep and routs which extract dome juice from be roots of this dwindled and stunted vegetation Then once in a long way we find where water is detained during the dry season and hero are small fields and gardens but the ral and almost exclusive aspect pf the scene is one of desert and desolation We found a ruined Tillage on a high eminence bearing tho name of nm Tbe legends of the Christians say hat it took Ha name from the fact that t was tbe homo of who suffered death the Saviour and was pardoned by him on the Farther on I descended into the valley of Jeremiah which is held to have been tbe birthplace of the Prophet who most struck the chords of the of his earnest and devotional countrymen Descending the next mountain I found cares and seemingly tombs in a hamlet which contains haps half a dozen families but tho ins of many habitations This is the village of the birth ol Samuel and the place where he ved the sublime call to it of Ood and I almost fancied that f- stood over the cave of the witch of when aho called up tbe dead at tbe entreaty ml Saul I walked through the brook now all dried where David took tbe five pebbles to supply the Ming with which bo conquered the giant of tho I did not refuse to believe when they told me I now in the valley where Abraham dwelt with Ma family and flocks and now on the mit of tbe mountain where the Sun WOE stopped in his course at the command of Joshua to prolong tbe battle which was to result in tbe victory of tbe ple of Israel It was a weary journey through a sad and mournful land relieved by an occasional rest under tbe shade of a rock or a solitary olive tree for Jeru salem seemed to ba a promised but unattainable when we reached at last at fonr o'clock the mit of a hill higher than all we bad passed and right before me on the rocky plain at the distance of a mile stood the Holy City It was not the ancient Jerusalem not a vast not even a city tike Borne but a modern built town of small cuit enclosed with a graceful military wall andf surmounted with a citadel towers steeples and monuments beau- to look upon but disappointing all the conceits I bad formed regard to its aspect Filled with veneration for it by its wonderful history and ing to find its sacred monuments where speaking their own great nations could not consent to enter it rashly and rudely I and gat down upon a rock surrounded by tombs and contemplated the scenes I was about to enter under of tbe declining sun We dismissed one equipage and walked slowly on ing by half tbe city to find a gate in tho wall The road like oil I had traveled was camel's path over loose stones and fixed rocks np and down but nt length we found tho hole in tbe wall sentinels on and a narrow low street through tbe middle of which the gutter we made our way jostling now against horses asses camels Turks Arabs Jews and Christians all ing from each other in costume and ad- dress but all equally outre and bizarre while tbe voices cries disputes con- tentions of a crowded population added to the confusion tbe scene This was Christian hut ft street that no Christian of any civilized state own A fairer town without than Jerusalem I saw a barer town within I hope never to see and farms adjoined each Bizer had an unruly sheep which wag in tbe habit of getting into field Bunco expostulated with Sizer several times and then told him if he did nqt keep his sheep at home be would fix him so he wouldn't jump any more fences But Bunco Boon found tbe sheep back again so ho caught jim and with a knife severed Urn or skin beyond the gambrel oint and between the main cord and rone and thrust tbe other hind leg through tbe aperture and then put tbe sheep back over the fence which went off hobbling on three logs r Sizer soon after discovered the sod bis sheep was int and he knew rery well who was the it bat be concluded to take things coolly and await aoine suitable opportunity to revenge himself Presently old sow broke in- field when ho caught her and with a sharp knife cut her mouth from ear to ear and turned her rack When Banco discovered this he went great rage and ed of him what be did that for Sizer said Upon my word neighbor Bunco I did not do any such thing Your old sow split her mouth laughing at my sheep Standard Adam Slonaker a number of years ago came to Huntingdon France ind seeing there for tbe first time a lair of snuffers he To snuff the candle

Americana engaged In ship building in in every de- of industry are always on the alert to adopt any improvement from whatever source it may tbo Frenchman tbe German the lishman each deems his own nation so superior that it has nothing to learn from any other This contrast be Amending and bat been ex- a hundred times Some years ago the Messrs Hovey of Boston embarked in an extensive series of to produce an improved strawberry it waa Mid that they fruited over of new seedlings and out of those they selected two re- large and fine varieties Has any one over heard of these being cultivated fa Europe f On other hand our nurserymen are so eagerly on the watch for any new varieties of fruit that may be originated in Europe that when the Victoria Currant was first produced Parsons of Flushing paid for the first bush which they could procure How slow Were the English ing from ibis the sharp bow for ships and especially in dispensing with the heavy bowsprit on steamers 1 Like tbe Chinese they upon tbe Americana as outside and like tbe of they ask Can any thing come out of The comparative absence of this feeling was most strikingly shown by Air Stevens when ho visited land with his fatuous yacht While tho America was lying at Liverpool with tbe challenge flying from her head to sail Against all the English yachts far Mr Stevens noticed a gaff on ooo of the English vessels which he thought was better than any other that be bad ing the extraordinary of the case and though he knew the at- tention of all England was upon bis movements bo immediately went to one of the ship yards and ordered a gaff like the he bad observed and the America had that English gaff at tbo top of her sail when she won tho great race Tho greater readiness of tbe Americans to adopt improvements from whatever source they may copje is one considerable cadso of our moro rapid advance in the arts and fn terial New Orleans truly says Experience has fully demonstrated that where a man in a community
