LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER SUPPLEMENT-SATORDAY, DECEMBER 10. 1881. CHRISTMAS ! THE STAR IN THE EAST. " The Light That Was Shene Bern.' When Christ What liethlehem U Te-Ilay Scenes or tha Savier's llirtbplacc. S. S. Cox in N. Y. Sun. The distance from Jerusalem te Beth lehem is but a half dozen miles. We pro posed te go te and from it in a morning. Our vehicle and female French driver which brought us from Jaffa were retained for the purpose. Although the read was rough and stony, and the streets narrow, we risked the carriage and ignored the donkey en the pledge of the guide. The sequel showed that theie was some risk, as many of the streets were impassable for a carriage. We leave the Jalla gate and under the upper aqueduct and evr the upper p.irt of Gihon, and then drive nearly due south. The bed of the Kidreu, in the deep valley en our left, pursues its empty way te the Dead Sea, while en the right and te the west, along the harizen, in broken and gray masses lie the mountains of Judah, shutting out the Mediterranean. One lonely person we meet amid the unaccus tomed path between the stone walls be fore we reach the direct way te Bethlehem. He wears a stove-pipe hat. Its strange ness and awkwardness in this laud of robe, fez, and turbau creates a smile. When we reach the main read and leave the "hill of evil counsel" en our left, we find the way iilicd with laden camels. Under the lash of our guide these gave the way, and with considerable malice both they and their drivers fumble and tumble about awk wardly amid the rubble of the read. The olives are thick, perforated, aud old, in the fields, withiu the stone walls. ' Where," we ask of the guide, "de they get se much stone for the walls'."' They arc ten feet wiue and three high, and, like the Dutchman's wall of the anecdote " when they fall down they arc higher than when they stand up !" "Why de you ask?" says the guide ; "don't you see the fields are full et" stones?" " But no one could miss any stones out of these liclds," we remarked. "Oh !'a few arc leftover," responded the guide. Hew the hardy olive can Hud susten ance en such "stony ground," is a mira cle. We arc happy in a breezy day, which mitigates the fierceness of the sun. What a crowd of people new are upon the read, going te Bethlehem and Hebren ; and te Bcersheba, even unto llehebeth ! Nine out often of these arc upon donkeys and camels; aud mere than three-l'euiths have their eyes sero or shaded ; and these are Arabs, whose suit is sometimes gay in color, but generally of stripes, brown and white, which reminds us et the dress el our penitentiaries, depending in the face of the wearer. They cany the long Dam ascus gun. and a plentiful pouch, for the desert and danger. Cactuses, with their big stocks and leaves, furnish some of the hedges, and " turn" the animals from the fields. We meet some, who are blue-eyed and geed-eyed, in European dress. These are of the German colony, which here thrives upon the old stony soil aud makes its crops of grape and grain in their sea seu, or several crops in one season. Seme herds of black aud white cattle of Dutch breed arc seen picking up a quiet r.imina r.imina atien from the browned herbage and the green leaves left en the trees. The land is net unlike the dress of the Arabs brown aud white. It. is burnt with the sun of the new dcpaiting .sum mer, aud white with the lime of many summers. " Ah ! this is fine land !" wc say ireni cally te the guide. "Geed land ! I-guess it is," responds the guide, who is from t'.ic state of Maine, "or it wouldn't held up se many stones and rocks. Geed deal of heft about it." But wc notice that where water runs the vineyards of the Germans appear, and the walls have a trim te;!c. Thrift, Teuten! thy name is thrill! Old elive roots for fuel, as twisted and as diuicult te unravel as thc.philoiegicai roots of our cellege days, appear en the backs of mul titudinous donkeys going up te the city, while going from it, for the terraces, en the heads of blue robed, tattooed Arab females, arc baskets of manure gathered in Jerusalem. The plain of Hcphaim is spread around us, two miles wide by three long. Here David defeated the l'hilifctincs, and many ether associations cluster. Among tliem the cave of Adullam has been vcii lied, which another Samuel has described, and the well of Bethlehem, "which is by the gate," for the water of which David was athirst, comes in for an explanation from our Biblical gaide. These, however interesting, must net draw us aside. We have passed the traditional tree where Judas hanged himself and the rural abode of Caiaphas, the High Piijst ; but these i.eb:il:e of tradition detract from the main object Bethlehem. The well of the magi, however, is 0110 of the incidents of the mair object, and a pretty story is told of it, although it is net rec orded iu the second of Matthew ; for did net the wise men, after leaving the pre sence of Hered, here steep te draw water ? Was it net here that the reflection of the star which led them was seen in the well ? Then we pass the Greek convent of Elijah, where ether stories arc told, net new worth the repetition. But from this point the cities of Bethlehem and Jerusa lem are visible "twined iu mutual being," birth aud death. Frem this eminent point, tee, can be seen the sugar-leaf mountain called the Tomb of Hered. It is high aud round. It is the scene of a mas sacre of Franciscans ; but it sinks into nothingness, as Hered did, compared with these he persecuted, along with that dim vision, shilling hard and bluish like steel twenty-five and mere miles away through avenues of black aud gray suu bathed mountains. That is the Dead Sea. This is our first glimpse of this famous labora tory and sport of nature. Belew aud around is something mere attractive te both eye aud memory. It is the field of Beaz and the scene of that sweet J-tery of love. "Ruth and Luke !" cried out the guide. "KutU and Beaz, rather," I responded, with a pleasrnt thought, tee, of Naemi, the mether-iulaw, as wc gaze with curious eye ever the rolling bleak aud new dry fields where the ever new, ever old tale of female devotion is located. Then Bethlehem appears mere clearly. Its pro minent object is the Church of the Na tivity within its semicircle. Ou the right is the old Knight Templar's castle, new the house of the Austrian consul. The landscape begins te show much grape and olive. The square, solid houses of Bethle hem, and terraced hills, gardened aud graved, amid ledges of limestone, make as pretty a picture in its frame of rock as an artist could desire te delineate. Ourguidecallsahaltatthe feet of the hill. We are at a singular square tomb It is net uulike these domed temples which we have seen for the burial of holy man in Algiers and Syria. It is the tomb of Rachel. Surrounding it are found the slovenly tombs of Mehammedans, with their rough gravestones lying loosely in dirt and dust. It was buiit by the He brews. Here they come ou Thursdays te wail and burn incense. There is no doubt that here net only was Benjamin bem, but Rachel died. All agree te this ; and it is pleasant te have brothers both Hebrew and Moslem, both of whom claim a fee simple in all that concerns Jacob agree upon something. Here Jacob set a pillar te memorize the last resting place of her whom he wen after such a remautic, though dilatory, courtship. Seven year was nothing "forthelevo he bore her." "And as for me," hew sad .the simple story " I buried her there, iu the way of Eprah the same is Bethlehem !" Who is the strange man we see sitting wearily at the arched deer of the tomb? What brings this pilgrim here he of the grisly beard and long, unkempt hair? He is no Arab no Hebrew. He wears no bourneus of stripes aud no dark gaber dine; only a plain black garment, dusty, like his -bare feet, with travel. We ask him, through our Yankee Arab guide, net altogether incurious at this sad, strange and lonely warder at the birthplace of Benoni "son of my sorrow Is he, tee, like us, a pilgrim te this tomb and shrine of the elder day ? Yes. he is a pilgrim, like us and from Russia. He is a Greek priest from the Yega, and lives spiritually upon Jerdan's stormy banks, waiting for the peaceful shore ; and really upon Jor Jer dan's arable banks, waiting for the rains te fructify his fields. He owns land here about also, and lias come hither te make his new leases. Thus was our illusion of the pilgrim at Rachel's tomb dissipated; for even here the cause of the pilgrimage was a causa lucri. Near by, en the west, iu the village of Beit Jala, live the Greek and Armenian patriarchs, se that this is a pious precinct, aud land is none the less valuable because it is net cultivated by Arabs or overrun by Uedeuins : Christians till it. At this point you may go te Solo Selo Sole mon's peels. They are one of the wonders el this vicinity aud worthy el minute description for their beauty, size, history, and permanency. Frem them yet waters Hew into the mosque which is built ever the temple. Here is the " Sealed Foun tain " referred te in Solemon's songs. It is said that these peels were repaired by Peutius Pilate, but that would net make their waters mere agreeable. Maiden-hair ferns abound about them, aud swimmers of an archaeological turn can take a plunge and come up beaded with antiquities. We had no occasion te study in that fashion, and were content te see the Arab women fill their goat skins from one of the open ings in the aqueduct. The hill tops show little villages after wc leave the Hebren read, but none leek as blithe and prosperous as Bethlehem, as she sits crescent-shaped upon the moun tain side, llower whcnco.cemc its vine, fig and olive luxuriance 1 cannot see, ex cept th.it the water comes mysteriously from the peels of Solemon, for is it net said in Ecclesiastcs : "I made me peels of water te water therewith the weed that briugeth forth the trees?" Or perhaps this white soil hath dews. Certain it is that in and around Bethlehem something else was grown in early days than the sheep that David tended hereabouts, or the lien aud the bear which he fought. Here were once the fruitful barley fields which Rath gleaned after the reapers, when the great love arose in the breast, el Beaz, out of which grew the sleck of Jesse and David a line ever made bcuiiru by havinir as its pleasant places the vicinity of Bethlehem, and its ancestress Ruth, and its descendant Jesus, the son of Jeseph and Mary ! Here is the source of the kings of Judah and the world's Saviour ! We halt at Hie gate of the town. We are, owing te impediments, compelled te abandon our carriage. We are surrounded by a bevy of I'clhlchcui girls. One is ex ceedingly pretty and dens net degrade the neighborhood of Ruth by unseemly screech ing for alms. She plies a little pair of pin ceis, and turns in aud twists upon the wires olive beads for re:; tries, with a "property of easiness' which Shak Shak spcare commends, in the " hand el -little employment," meanwhile chatting with easy grace. My wife buys one and con tracts for another rosary, te be made be fore wc leturn. These dozen girls, of whom " Eetlieu " makes an extravagant picture of coy and debonair loveliness, are vivacious and .somewhat pretty, and would be mere se if net. diity and sura-eyed. They wear little close cottage caps, with two or three rows of coins lapping closely ou each ether, and in the sum making quite a dowry. They jingle merrily when shaken. I would net depieciate these Christian maidens, for these arc net of the Moslem religion, whatever their bleed. But I cannot, fail te peitray ene beautiful woman a young mother, who, be it said reverently, recalled, if net the Madenna, the picture of her by Raphael, "LaPcrla" iu wnieh the magi are offering geld, frankincense, and myrrh. She sat apart upon a stone under the shade of an archway, nursing a babe. Her hair had that rich auburn aud ethereal fineness with which Murrille favors his madennas, which aie likenesses, by the way, of his Andalusian wife. I wonder if, pc:adven tme. I his beautiful Bethlehem mother might net have in her veins soma of that precious bleed of the house and lineage of David that escaped the murderous decree of Hered. Bethlehem has 4,000 people and 500 houses. Many of the houses arc substan tial. The streets are se narrow that our guide has te ride ahead and employ people te move impediments out of the way. It is said the people arc handsome. That lcputatien may come from the iii-.My cheeks of David, or the gracss of Ruth, or the pictures of the Madenna. Oae thing must be said of the town, and that is that if it has any beauty or geed iu it, it is Christian, for it is par excellence the Christian town of Judea. Iu 1834, after an insurrection by the Arabs. Ibrahim Pasha, then ruler, riddled the Moslems unto death after his peculiar methods, quite worthy of a descendant of Hered. Before purchasing our olive weed, beads mother of pearl, and ether souvenirs, whew many such arc deftly made by ex quisite art, wc make our visit te the most attractive place of Bethlehem. The place of tiic Nativity has been often described, and the church abeve it. Every object and person here and hereabouts has been the special object of gifted pens aud im passioned eloquence. Make a catalogue simply of the names ; aud each name will be set te music like a psalm. The anoint ing of David by Samuel ; the family of Jesse and their exploits Joab, Abishai, aud Asahel ; "the city of David,"' as Bethlehem is called, or Rehobeain's strong hold, the habitation of Chimham ; the story of Jeseph coming from Galilee out of Nazareth ; iu fine, the Incarnation of the Werd here in all its mystery, each and all are a poem which resounds from the simple cave in Bethlehem, with a sweeter aud louder chorus than that of the Hellenic epos of the blind old man of that Scie whose shaken rocks wc left but a fortnight since. Let us cuter this place of the Nativity. It has been honored, as well as fixed, since the second century. Over it, in the third century, the mother of Constantine erected that church which is the eldest iu the world. Some of its'celumus are from the temple. Here in one corner of the church wc perceive a leuely harmit. He is insane. He has been twenty-five years in this place, drawn, like many ethers, by the wildness of his vagaries about the un known world. He is a Chaldean, aud it is said, was a sheik of his tribe. Amid the forty odd pillars of the perch of the temple, here brought te decorate the birthplace of Jesus, this strange man ap pears. Had he lived iu the time of the Saviour, and had his faith been then as new, perhaps the demon of insanity might have been exercised. But the crypt wc seek. There are two chapels here, leading te the place of Christ's birth ; one is Greek and the ether Armenian. On the north side thcrj is a Catholic convent and church. Frem this there arc steps te the holy spot. We cheese te go by the Latin way. There ' must be a part, the misc enscene of that wondrous drama. Even skeptics cannot ignore the fact that the event has, as the apostle phrased it, "'turned the world up side down." Well might Gamaliel say that this work, proceeding Jeut of this little village, if it were of men, would come te naught; but if it were of Ged, could net be overthrown. Tiie evidence is that te day its results appear iu civiliza tions ! What a moral and religions work has been accomplished by its energy ! Be ginning at this small fountain, what a fruitful spreading stream of light for the irradiation of the dark problems of our life! As I came from the church I did net hear the angels above chanting the millen nial dawn ; but, nevertheless, I did net cease te believe that in " this city of David had becu born a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." Ner will I unto my last moment believe otherwise than that for this ad vent the greatest upon our star "glory should be given te Ged iu the highest," and that out of it shall come ' en earth peace, geed will te men !

I de net mention this because I am partial, but from reasons which are the result of observation. The priest at this spat makes the " drudgery divine " as well as intelligent. We are welcomed te the convent by him. Like most of the Catholic priests in the East, he speaks French. Our guide seems te be a favorite with him. He invites us te a glass of native wine or tea, and under his direction and with lighted taper we take our devious way below. Many tombs line this dark path, aud among them is the tomb of St. Jereme. It is te his patience, goodness and scholarship the world ewes the Vulgate, or Latin edition of the Bible. It was here that this early and great father gave his forty years of seclusion for the glory of Ged and the benefit of mankind. Approach the chapel of the Nativity. Yeu will knew it by the Latin inscription aud the silver star in the centre. We are led into the vault by the priest. He shows us the manger. He explains te us that in "these days" stables were net usually found iu the caves se common in the hiily places of Palestine. This cave is many feet below the lloer of the church. It is 33 by 11 feet, and decorated with marble. Precious lamps burn before figures of saints, chief among them St. Jereme. Six teen silver lamps burn ever the spot where the star indicates the place of birth. An An other recess shows the spot where the wooden manger, new in Reme, was found. Other spots arc shown, as the chapel of St. Jereme, and the chapel of Jeseph, where the angel appeared te tell him te fly te Egypt. If these arc apocryphal traditions they de net detract from the fact estab lished by scholars aud antiquarians, aud confirmed as well by what St. Jereme wrote as by his selection of this spot for his duties and fasts. He believed it te be the place, as his life aud death bore wit ness. Never did art consummate se splen did a representation of sclf-abucgafieu as that wherein Domcnichine portrayed the last scene iu the life of this Dalmatian saint aud here, who verified as well in his life as by his death his faith in the geed ness and glory of the gospel whose tidings were chanted first in the starry vault of Bethlehem ! Doubt as we may as te the Mill: Giette, the Shepherd's Grotte, the Magi's Well, David's Well, aud the burial of the 20, 000 innocents murdered by Hered here ; doubt as te the shepherds' fold, the altar of the "wise men;" doubt doubt that (jurist was uern immaculate aul miracu lously ; but one thing is indubitable that Christ was here born, and that from this Nativity arese a light " which before was never en sea or land," and for the faith iu whose beneficent and heavenly guidance thousands have perished as martyrs and million:; have risked their soul's salvation! What place can be mere holy, unless it be that consecrated by His death ? There are said te be only two places in this Hely Land siiricrier in sacred associa tions te this place : Jerusalem and Naza reth. Te my mind, Bethlehem has no su perior, uulcss it be Jerusalem. " Why ? " will occur te the learned Bible student aud te the veriest child who has read the Gospels. Bethlehem is net oue of the mountains which compass Jerusalem, but it has its lefty thought. It is a beautiful pearl in the diadem round about the j royal city. It is net the scene of sacrifice and sepulchre ; but it is the scene of the nativi ly and of the magi, aud of the angelic song which ushered in the purest and greatest life ever clad iu llesh. Among tiie hundreds of books of travel and de scription of this country, the Bible is the best guide book after all, and in many ways. In no one way is it mere se than iu its references te this spot, ever which the star shone, and the angels chanted of peace. Ne amount of degeneracy, super stition, exaggeration, tradition, or pollu tion, no surrounding, however disenchant ing, detracts one beam from the radiance of that star, or gives one dissonant nole in the seraphic hymning which here iilicd the heavens with a new-born jy ! The genius of painter and sculptor has iiiu:; tratcd the story of the manger and their gifts and worship, the choir of angels, the awe-struck shepherds, the flight into J'gi'pt, the beautiful face of .the Madenna, with its golden aureole, and the ma.ic.stie, masterful and melancholy features of Ilim who became here the genius of love unto mankind. What place, therefore, in all this alciiied country, new te many centu ries made desolate, is se alluring for its fruitful themes, whether for studio or li brary, for the orator or ai list, for the dis ciple or crusader '. Although Bethlehem was caiied iillle among the thousands of Judah," and at a time when Judah fed her thousands of thousands from hcrwell-tiiled ierraecs and valleys, she is great among men, and will be great se long as her story remains. Hew often has the story been told te loving hearers ! Frem the little Catholic church at the North Cape, but a year old, which we visited under the midnight sun and amid the summer snows, te the splen did church of St. Sephia, which dates 1,500 years age ; across wastes of time and oceans of space, ever daik continents and isles "gilded by tein.il summer," till story of the manger is a theme as sr cred te kings as te peasants ; as dear te the leper of Ramleli as te the emperors of earth.

'Tis very strange that hundreds et" ether persons, mere or less tillllctcil with ills ease, will net read Dr. Greene's pamphlets, or call upon him ami be cured of their ailments. Strange that they could be influenced by jeal ous physicians, or druggists, te keep away irem htm. They ought te knew that the major portion or his patients are from Hut ranks et ether M.

This new much abused Alcohol!'; .stimulant was never intended 113 a beverage, but te Ixi used as a medicine of" great potency in tin: chip of some of the destructive diseases which awcep away their annual thousandwef victims. With a purely philanthropic motive we prt sent te the favorable notice et invalids cspe dally these atlllcted with that miserable lls e.ase Dyspepsia, a .specific remedy, which i3 nothing mere or less than Brandy. The aged, with feeble apiwdlte ami mere or less debility, will linn this simple medicine, when used properly, A Sovereign Remedy oral! their Ills and aches.

In proof of the curative powers et Reigart's Old Brandy, In cases of Dyspepsia, we can summon num hers of witnesses one caoe iu particular w cite ?- A hard-working farmer had licen ail.l:teu with an exhaustive Dyspepsia ler a number of years; his stomach would reject almost every kind of feed; he had Heur f nictatiens con stantly no appetite in fact, lie was obliged If. restrict his diet te crackers and stale bread, and aa a beverage he used McGrann's Keei Rcer. He is a Methodist, anil then, as new S reached at times, and In his discourses eltt.i. eclaimed earnestly against all kinds of strong drink. When advised te trv Reteart's Old Brandy, in his case, he looked up with astentsmr.cn 1 but after hearing et its wonderful etlects in the cases of some of his near acquaintancci:, Iu at last consented te fellow our advice. He used the Brandy faithfully ami steadily; the flrat bottle giving him an appetite, and before the second was taken he was a sound man, wilt, a stomach capable of digesting anything w hit 1: hejehese te eat. He still keeps it and uses a I ti tle occasionally; and since he lias this medi cine he has been of very little pecuniary bene fit te the doctor. A PuAcname Phtsicia it. H. E.
