Miss Barclay resided four years fln Jerusalem.

They had proved' themselves true friends; but. Apart from this, 1 had long-been anxious to obtain d sight into liareiil life. ; On entering the house t was greeted nfitli Hie usual Cry ofwcicobie, “Ahlan WAssahkm.” in which every occupant of title harcnV united 1 . Even the slaves ran to the door clapping their, hands, and making the noisiest manifestations of delight. Five minutes after I had taken my scat, fingaris of codec and pipes were handed, in which I attempted to join them, but the cf fort proved a signal failure. Tbe delicate work manship of the tiny cups containing the cotFec by no means exempt from a burnt tongue, 1 nor makes palatable the unsweetened beverage. Or the charm of Turkish codec (with some.) con sists in its being boiling, hot, and the absence of sugar. The narghilch, so tempting to the eye, with its crystal urn "and amber mouth piece, was soon laid aside witli a disgust which I fear was hardly understood by, my . Turkish, friends who so highly appreciate these luxuries that most of their tune is devoted to their en joyment* There is but one Turkish lady on my list pf Acquaintances who can boast; pf her ability to read and write. Her presence alfyrded some va riety to the trivial subjects generally discuss, cd ; for she not only possesses the rare 'accom plishments of reading and writing ; but has im proved them, and her conversation showed that sho was conversant with the Koran and other text-books of Mohommcdan faith. In addition to this a pilgrimage to Mecca, and a hand ever ready to relieve the wants of the poor, have se cured for her a wide spread fame. About noon, dinner was announced; not however, before each one had washed her hands (Hid face, and observed the usual forms of pray e|v ■ A largo round waiter was placed on a stool richly inlaid with peari, and upon it little dish £ntJlcss variety were temptingly displayed. 9°. n^o Uons prepared from rose ‘S r ‘ C ? ls ’ transparent jellies and Soups composed of a variety of nuts/ Cucum with ri “ minc ed meat, a favorite dish; and another, almost as popular, o bowl of minute cylinders of dough, dried in the sun, and then mixed in a sauce of butter and sugar.

A messenger was accordingly. dis patched for tnmborines and dancing women- 1 - for in the East dancing is considered far be neath any but the the poorer class, who make it a trade, and charge n certain sum for'their services on festive occasions. Their dancing consists.in a few undulating movements of the body, not ungraceful, and accompanied by the castenct and the tarhborinc. Jly European "dress causod them ns much amusement ns their curious apparel nfiorded me, and they were not satisfied unlil.we had ex changed costumes. A mirror was brought into requisition, in which they wondcringly survey ed the change wrought by the sport. A large number had assembledTo see the lady from the “new world,” and they were very curious to know something about the manners and cus toms Of my countrj". Gi'eat was their surprise on hearing of the liberty enjoyed by their Wes tern sisters, which, strange to say, although I used all the terms of enthusiasm niy knowledge of Arabic could command, they did not seem at all to covet. They could not conceive of a woman possessing a soul. On asking one of them what would become of her after death, sh? rephed “I shall bo put under ground nothing more.” “And.yohr !inaiiand i ”said T, “will ho b* doomed to the same fate?” — “ Oh, no,” she sadly replied, "he will be taken above, and there enjov all the delights of para dise.” . Among- them wore some lovely Georgians profusely adorned with sparkling jewels and purest of Orient pearls. There were few be sides these with any pretensions of beauty-/—' Nearly all however, had The soft gazelle eye ,so oficn apostrophized by poets. I left them, feeling inore grateful than ever for the light I enjoy, and the hope of blissful immortality, and ardently desiring to ■share’ wi;h them my own glorious civil and religious privileges, wliteh would at once release them from the leading cause of their degradation— Iho tyranny exercised over them by their lius bands,.wlio can put them away for any reason, every’reason, and no assignable reason. I can but feel eruptions of the deepest indig nation at the painful recollection of quite a pretty young girl,-who was inhumanly divorc ed by her hard hearted husband before either of tlicin was twelve years of age, simply because he saw a more beautiful girl and was unfortu nately able to buy her- Oh! the inexpressible, and by us inconceivable wretchedness flowing from this awful traffic in female flesh—the burning shame and crying sin of Oriental life! Love, of course, is a plant that will -Thrive-in no such soil. Indeed, it sccnis to be rather an exotic in the Orient at this day cultivated only litre and there as a mere pot house plant. While memory performs her functions, I shall never forget the iriiprcssion made on my mind when witnessing the anguish of a’poor' girl, as she went along weeping -to the house of a brutal old one-monster, who had bought her for his paudemonian harem. Nuria it the fath er and husband alone who thus (yrahize over the degraded women of the cast. The authori ty of the brother in the event of tho death of the father; even though the mother is still liv without mercy, and With .inSpunity, and though lie tuny be youngtr than his seven sisters, it is he alone-that sells them to their heartless hus bands, or in other-Words, to .the .master, who will give the most for them. Happily now. however, this is rat her a rare case, owing to the ascendency of Frank.influ ence. Indeed, the Orientals are extremely im pressible by the example of their more civilized neighbors. Several incidents may serve to il lustrate this. On first arriving in Jerusalem the male portion uf tho family were always served first, when we were hauled refreshments at their houses;, but, seeing that we observed the very reverse order of things, they soon imi tated our example. The veil has also often been stealthily drawn aside an imitation of our non observance of a strange custom of smoth ering oneself. In cases of cruel treatment by their husbands, such as dashing any missle at them Whith may chatoic to lay in their way, beating them with sticks, and otherwise caus ing, the blood to How, our remonstrances have not unfrcqnently proved cllcclnal. As may be imagined the more sensitive of these maltreated crcAturis are thus, rendered very miserable. even entreating for poison in some instances, to put an end to their exist ence as well as that Of their cruel masters. It, IS well known 1 that while Oriental women urC taught to believe that they have no souls, they are impressed with the idea that their husbands will revel in delight in the bowers of paradise, where each will have A' linreefn'of any number of black eyed-bouris, varying from seventy to seventy thousand, to administer to his happi neds'. But notwithstanding'this, these deprav ed creatures are Very religious, so far as bodily j exercise goes, strictly observing their many fasts and festivals, and' devoting nnioh of their time to prayer. And-thcir prayers although so complicated', lengthy, and fatiguing,arenotconT fined to their mosques or their 'homes; but whether Visiting or oh any excursion Of pleas ure, they no sooner hear the sOnOrous voice of the rimezzim, tin'll their girdles, sliccts or mats arc spread, their fades, antis, hands and feet bare, and they commence the intricate process of prajier. Not twice or thrice a clay,- blit five times do these deluded creatures go through their genuflections and prostrations, thus set ting us an example, which, if imitated, to blit a limited extent, would prove a blessing not on ly to ourselves, but roflexly to them. ; One day wc liad a visit from several of the harcctns of tho nobility, numbering twenty la dies and half as many slaves, and, although away from homo, they sent their slaves to the well for water, performed their ablutions. And eocb one immediately on tho cry of the tmicz zimn, devoutly prayed. Of course, their veils and sheets were laid aside, and I was not a lit tle amused at the great commotion by (he sud den entrance into tho court of a Turk, while they wore eating with uncovered faces. The slaves set up a loud scream, and terror struck ran in.ct cry direction for their mistress’ veils! As for 1110-mislrcsscs themselves, it was actual ly distressing to hear their painful cries—and such was their effect on the unfortunate intru der, that he made a precipitate retreat, amid their shouts of “Koohco! roohcc!”—away! away! Gratitude is one of the redeeming qualities! What will the ungrateful lady of the Occident think of her Oriental sisters abasing themselves to kiss the feet of a dispenser of medicines, to show their appreciation of some light medical services lie may have rendered them ? I have seen a lady of the upper circles of Jerusalem so ciety struggling to perform this humiliating act, and this too, in spite of An uncultivated mind and soul. Tho education of Oriental wo men is not only’ entirely neglected, but strong ly reprobated by public sentiment—almost the the solo arbiter of manners and customs in that country if not in this. Odious as ho must too often ho, yet she has no other God than her husband, and to gratify him with the strictest obedience is the most praiseworthy of all good works she can perform. iKv” Vegetation is so scarce at Capo Cod, Mass., that two imillon-stalks.and a huckleber ry hush arc called-a grove. ■ Mil [Correspondence o f the London Times.] THE PLDXDER OF HiCRXOW.

Very soon afterwards a man of tlie 20th was shot through the body, and Lieut. Col. Kelly, to whom I had been speaking a mo ment before, was struck by a spent ball on the licit;?. 'lll the 11 cm! court, which was sheltered from tiro by flic walls' around it, our men had made a groat seizure of rich plunder. They then burst into some of tile state apartments, and wore engaged in dividing tho ; spoils of shawls and lace and embroidery of gold and silver and pearls.; In a nook of Ibis court, whore there was a little shade, wo retired to rest ourselves, as there was no means of approaching tho front, part of the building being on fire, and explo sions of mines feared every moment. Two men of the 90th were in before us, and assisted later by some of the 39th, wo saw them appropriate money’s worth to make them independent Tor lile. The rooms off this nook had been used as stores by the King or some wealthy member of his household, and each moment those men went in only to emerge with a richer trophy.— In on one box they found diamond bracelets, emeralds, rubies, pearls, and opals; all wele so large,and bright aud badly sot, that I believed at tlie time they were glass. In another was a pair of gold-mounted and jewelled .duelling pis. tols, of English make, and tho bill, stating that his Majesty the King of Ondo owediho maker £2Bo. Then out they came with bundles, of swords, gold-mounted and jewelled, which they at once knocked to pieces for the sake of lbo mountings, leaving the blades behind them;— Next came out a huge chemical laboratory ; then a gold saddle cloth, studded with pearls ; gold-handled riding.canes; then cups of agate and jade, gold-mounted and jewelled; then— hut I must,really stop .this..broker’s inventory. The happy possessors of these riches wore quite mad with excitement. “.Is this gold, sir 7”— “Is that a diamond 7” “Is your honor sure that's raal goold 7” “Is this string of little white stones (pearls) worth anything, gontlo.- men?” It was a groat drawback to have a conscience under such circumstances—a greater not to have a penny in one’s pocket, for in Ibis country no one except an old stager on tholook out for loot carries a farthing about him, and as one of tim soldiers, observed, “Theko herd concerns only carries on ready-money itransaq^ .gentleman; If a'native 'sojdier .camo.fn and nabced' off witfr anything wln'oh Jic fotlnd in a dark corner, out pounced otic friend upon him, I rifle in hand, “ Leave that there, I fell you; I put that fliero myself!” and them .was some thing in his eye which explained his meaning so clearly that the article was at once abandon • od, and iffound to be of value was retained• if not, was “made a present of.” 'Close to ns wore largo boxes of japanned work containing literally thousands of cups and vessels of jade, of crystal, and of china, which the soldiers were isllessly throwing on tho ground arid breaking into atoms.

When asked by the Mohammedans of Chris tians to change their religion, they ,freely admit that other men’s religions arc best for them : they Only claim thatjlindooism is best for Hin doos. To put oil their religion and put on that of Ihe Christians'sccrnsTo'thhm as absurd as it would be to put off their light and graceful cot ton garments,,so well suited to the climate,and put. on swallow-tail coats and'stove-pipe bats, and nearly as impossible as to change their bronze and black completions which wear so well; even info old age, for the marble faces dr Europeans, which are only pood while youth' and health remain. As well renounce them selves as their religion, which enters, into their laws, manners! literature—constitutes their na 'liohttlify, their civilization—forms the ground work of all their self respect, : One day, after a noisy and idolatrous process ion of the Hindoos had taken place,, happening to meet a Brahmin whom wo had often met for thq purposes of business, wo inquired of him why it was that his people worshipped idols. Ilia reply would have done honor to Plato: “What you see is onlythe outside of our relig ion—the costume, the fashion' of the common people,. Men ofsense every where,in all religions, worship the one God. Our outside ways and forms arc as si range to you, as yours are to us; but,underneath all this outside show and dress, we unite in the same substantial truth. ” But why allow these idols, and especially such fool ish ones ? “Children have dolls and toys to' help out their .thoughts, and so the. common people must have their idols, often rude ones.” Why do you not teach them belter? “Thatis hard ; take them from their idols, their outside forms and helps; and we fake from them their internal reality; we confuse their weak and ignorant minds. ' Ignorant, and foolish people' will and must have foolishness in their religion. In your country, have not the' ignorant people foolish notions and ways in religion"?” This homo thrust was as unexpected as it was effec tive.' , 'Villi bis utmost tenacity of his right to he lot.aloncJnJiiajitiligion, the Hindoo never as sumes that the religions of other men are bad and false.

It is strange to observe (he .callousness of some men before whom all'l he glories of heaven' and eartli pass in daily succession, without touching their heart, elevating their fancy, or leaving any durable remembrance, even of those who pretend to sensibility. How many arc there to whom the lustre of the rising or sotting sun, tile sparkling concave of the midnight sky, the mountain forest, tossing and roaring to the storm, or warbling With all the melodics of a summer evening j the sweet Interchange ol hill and dale, shade and sunshine, grove, lawn and water which an extensive landscape offers to the view; the scenery of the ocean,,so lovely, so majestic, and s'o tremendous, and the many pleasing Varieties of the. animal and vegetable kingdom, could never afford so much real satis faction as the steams arid noise of a ball-room, the insipid fiddling and,squeaking.of an opera, or file vexations and wrangling of a cm-d-tablc ! But some minds there aro of a ’different make wlio, cvendn flic early part of life, receive from (ho contemplation of nnfni‘o a species of de light, which they. would hardly exchange for any other; and who, ns avarice and ambillon are not the infirmities of that period, would wit equal sincerity, arid rapture, exclaim— « I care not fortune what yon rile deny; Ton cannot rob mo of free nature’s grace, Yon cannot shut flic windows of the sky, Through which Aurora allows horbrightcnln face; You cannot barmy constant foot to (race The woods and lawns by living stream nl oro.” Siicli minds liavd always in them the sbedsof true taste, and frequently of imitative genius.;— To a mind thus disposed no part of creation is indifferent. In the: crowded city and bowling wilderness, in the cultivated province and soli tary isle,’ in the flowing lawn and craggy moun tain, in the murmur of-the rivulet and in the uproar of the ocean, in the radiance of sum mer of the rivulet and in the uproar of the ocean; in the radiance of the summer and gloom of winter, in the thunder of heaven and in the whisper of the breeze, ho still finds something to rouse or to soothe Ids imagination, to draw forth his affections or to employ his understand ing.

The Wife ol Benedict Arnold. Wo have been accustomed to sympathize, with the wife of Arnold 1 , in the distress which Unmilton’n account represents her as having' suffered 'when apprised ofher husband's treason ai'id flight, but if the, following is true, oiir sympathies have been was.led. According to Par (on’s Life of Burr: “He was sitting one evening with. Mrs. Pro vost, when the approach of a party of.horse was heard, and soon after a lady, veiled and attired in a riding habit, burst’ into the room, and hurrying towards Mrs. Provost, was on the point of addressing her. Seeing, a gentleman in the dim light of the apartment she djd not recognize, she paused, and asked, jn an anxious tone: , “Am I safe 1 Is this gentleman a friend I” ‘Oh, yes,’, was Mrs. Provost’s reply,‘he is my most particular friend Col. Burr.’ ’ ‘I ‘Thank God!’ exclaimed Mrs.. .Arnold—for she it was—‘l’ve been playing the hypocrite, and I’m tired of it. ’’ She then gave an account of the way she had deceived Washington, Hamilton and other American officers who, she said, believed her innocent of treason, and had given her an es cort from West Point. She made no.scruple of confessing the part she had borne in the hegO ciation wjlh the British General, and declared that it was she that had induced her husband to do what, he had done. ■ She passed the night at Paramus. fhking care to resume her acting of the outraged and frantic woman whenever strangers were present. Col. Burr’s relations with the Shippen family, of which Mrs. Arnold was a member, had been of the most intimate character from childhood. They had been his father’s friends, and the orphan boy had been taken from his mot her’a grave to their homo in Philadelphia; lie stood, toward* this fascina ting. false-hearted woman almost in the light of of a younger brother,’and he, kept her secret until she was past being harmed-by the telling of it. A Remarkable Family. We mentioned some time ago, that the"wife of Mr. Mahlon Houck, of lloheson township, had given birth to triplets, or three living chil dren, all boys.’and that the babes and their mother, were doing well. It may interest many of pur readers to know that Mr. and Mrs. Houck, with this little brood, are now in this city at Newkirk’s City Hotel, South Sixth st., where they intend to remain several days. The children, now over four months old, continue well and hearty, bid fair to grow np to manhood together. They are bright little fellows, and ns large as children of their ago that come sin gly into the world. They have the,joint Cecil-, pnney of an enormous cradle that was made ex pressly for their accommodation—a piece of furniture which we venture to say, has not its counterpart in size; in the possession of any household in, this city. It may be imagined thpt Mrs. Houck has her hands full, literally in attending to the wants of this triple addition to her family ; but she appears to bo as warmly attached to them all as she could possibly be if there were but one to claim her affections. She had been the mother of seven children, previous to the birth of these three little ones. As may bo imagined, their presence at the City Hotel attracts a good many visitors, principally la dies, who naturally are curious in matters of this sort. —Reading Dent.
