DEAR EDITOR :—I suppose your valuable pa per visits a. great many families in the United States, .and that in those families are a great many children; it is to those dear ones I wish now to write a few lines, hoping to increase their interest in, the people of,,this dark moun tain, especially the youth : and the little ones, who are so different from. them. WINTER LIFE IN MOUNT LEBANON. For the last week the snow has been falling thick and fast, and now all the peaks above and below us are one shiningmass of purest white, glittering and dazzling in thebright sum of to day; but there are no , jingling, teary , sleigh , . bells, for there are no roads, only narrow, zigzag paths, winding along the tall, rocky sides of the mountains, and through the deer) valleys, leading from village to village. When it stopesno.wing, the people go to the tops of their houses, and throw the snow oft the flat roofs; then return into their dark, cheerless huts, seat themselves t on their sheepskine around a little smoky fire. in in the middle of the room, thaw out, their half frozen fingers; and eat their dish of pottage— such as Esau-sold'his birthright for—with their, coarse bread, baked in the • Tunoicr—the oven Jesus meant when. he said, "The grass which I to-day is, to-morrow it& east into tbe oven." It is a deep hole dug into the ground, with a huge pottery jar, without a bottom, sunk into it. Then they make a fire on the bottom, of grass and sticks; when hot, they stick . their rotpd,,thin sheets of dough to. the sides of the`jar ) till it is baked; a man will, eatseven or eight such loaves at a meal, if he °an get them; our Sasioutcould make them sake for as teeny' thousand& This is the way the people iiVe , . , fortable; but, in these cold, "sterms,,,we.tbink much of the,tbousands who haft been burnt. out and robbed, and who have scarcely a shelter,' or a covering. from the chilling:hlasts.:. it is won derful what am amount of mild has been lent to them from distant lands—Aiterica, England, France, and' Annie. iZAaLur A 9.
