7-it4li', - it.,. - t, VOL. L. OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND, THE ORIGINAL DISCOVERER OF THE Genuine Townsend Sarsaparilla; OLD DR. TOWNSEND is now about7o years of. age, and has long been known as the author and discoverer of the Genuine Original Townsend Sarsaparilla. Being poor, he was compelled to limit its manufacture, by which means it has been kept out of market, and the sales circumscribed to those only who had 'proved its worth, and known its value. It had reached the ears of many, never thelesa, as those persons who had been healed of sore diseases, and saved front death, proclaimed its excellence and wonderful HEALING POWER. Knowing, many years ago, that he had, by his skill, science and experience, devised an article which would be of incalculable advantage to man kind when the means would be furnished to bring it into universal notice, when its inestimable virtues would be known and appreciated. This time has come, the means are supplied ; this Grand and Unequalled Preparation is manufactured on the lar gest scale, and is called for throughout the length and breadth of the land, especially as it is found incapable of degeneration or deterioration. Unlike young S. P. Townsend's, it improves with age, and never changes, but for the better; because it is prepared on scientific principles by a scientific man. The highest knowledge of Chemistry, and the latest discoveries of the art, have all been brought into requisition in the manufacture of the old Des Sarsaparilla. The Sarsaparilla Root, is well known to medical men contains many medical properties and some properties which are inert or useless, and others Which it retained in preparing ' it for use, produce fermentation and acid, which is injurious to thenystem. Some of the properties of Sarsaparilla are so volatile, that they entirely evap orate and are lost in the - preparation, if they are not preserved by a scientific progress, known only to those experienced in its manufitcture. Moreover, these volatile principles, which fly off in vapor, or as an exhalation, under heat, are the very essential medical properties of the root, which give to it all its value. • Any person can boil or stew the root till they get a dark colored liquid, which is more from the col oring matter in the root than from anything else; they can then strain this insipid or vapid liquid, sweeten with sour molasses, and then call it 64 Sar saparilla Extract or Syrup." But such is not the article known as the GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND'S SARSAPARILLA. This is.so prepared, that all the ineit properties of the Sarsaparilla root are first removefi, every thing capable of becoming acid or of fermentation, is extracted c rejected; then every particle oi medical virtue is•secured in a pure and conceatra ted form; and thus it is rendered incapable of los ing any of its valuable and healing properties. Pre pared in this way, it is made the most powerful agent in the CURE OF INNUMERABLE DISEASES Hence•the reason why we hear commendations on every side in its favor by men, women, and children. .We find it doing wonders in the cure of Consumption, Dyspepsia, and Liver Complaint, and in Rheumatism, Scrofula, Piles, Costiveness, all Cutaneous Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, and a❑ affections arising from IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD , It possesses a marvelous efficacy in all complaints arising from Indigestion, from Acidity of the Stom ach, from unequal circulation, determination of blood to the head, palpitation of the heart, cold feet and hands, cold chills and hot flashes over the body. It has not its equal in Colds and Coughs ; and promotes easy expectoration and gentle perspi ration, relaxing strictures of the lungs, throat, and every other part. But in nothing is its excellence more manifestly seen and acknowledged than in all kinds and stages of FEMALE COMPLAINTS It works wonders in' cases of Flour Albus or Whites, Falling of the Womb, Obstructed, Suppres sed, or Painful Menses, Irregularity of the mens trual, periods, and the like, and it is effectual in curing all4e forms of Kidney Disease. By removing obstructions, and regulating the general system, it gives tone and strength to the whole body, and thus cures all forms of-Nervous Diseases and Debility, and thus prevents or relieves a great variety of other maladies, as Spinal Irrita tion, Neuralgia, St. Vitus' Dance, Swooning, Ep ileptic Fits, Convulsions, &c. It cleanses the blood, excites the liver to healthy action, tones the stomach, and gives good diges tion, relieves the bowels of torpor and constipation, allays inflammation ' purifies the skin, equalizes the circulation of the blood, producing gentle warmth 'equally over all parts of the body, and the insensi ble perspiration ; relaxes all strictures and tight ness, removes all obstructions, and invigorates the entire nervous system:, Is not this then the medi cine, you pre-eminentli need But can any of these things be said of S. P. Town - send>s inferior article I This. young man's liquid is not to be COMPARED WITH THE OLD DR'S, because of one Grand Fact, that the one is incapa ble of Deterioration, and NEVER SPOILS, while the other does; souring, fermenting, and blowing the bottles containing it into fragments; the sour, acid liquid exploding, and damaging other goods ! Must not this horrible compound be pois onous to the system I What! put acid into a sys tem already diseased with acid? What causes Dyspepsia but acid ? Do we not all know that when food sours in our stomachs, what mischief it produces? flatulence, heart-burn, palpitation of the heart, liver complaint, diarrhea, dysentary, colic, and corruption of the blood ? What is Scrofula but an acid humor in the body? What produces all the humors which bring on Eruptions of the Skin,Scald Head, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, White Swelings, Fever Sores, and all ulcerations internal and external 1 It is nothing under heaven but an acid substance which sours, antthus spoils all the fluids of the. body, more or ,Whs. What causes Rheumatism but a sour or acid fluid, which insinu ates itself between the joints and elsewhere, irrita ting and inflaming the 'delicate tissues upon which' it acts 7 So of nervous diseases, of impurity Of the blood, of deranged circulations, and nearly all the ailments which affect human nature. Now is it not horrible to make and sell, and infi nitely worse to use this Souring, Fermenting, Acid Compound of S. P. Townsend, and yet he would fain have it understood that Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Genuine Original Sarsapa rilla, is an imitation of his inferior preparation. Heaven forbid that we should deal in an article which would bear the least resemblance to S. P. Townsend's article; and which should bring down upon the old Dr. such a mountain load of complain and criminations from Agents who have sold, anG purchasers who have used S. P. Townsend's Fer menting Compound. • We wish it understood because it is the absolute truth, that S. P. Townsend's article and old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla are hearen-wid e apart, and infinitely dissimilar; that they are unlike in : every particular having not one single thing in common. As S. P. Townsend is no doctor, and never was, is ono chemist, no pharmaceutist—knows no more of medicine or disease than any other common, unscientific, unprofessional man, what guarantee .can the public have that they are receiving a genu ine scientific medicine, containing all the virtues of the articles used in preparing it, and which are incapable of changes which might render them the AGENTS of Disease instead of health. But what else should be expected from one who knows nothing comparatively of medicine or dis ease ! It requires a person of some experience to cook and serve up even a common decent met 1. How much more important is. it that the persons who manufacture medicines designed for Weak Stomachs and Enfeebled Systems should know well the medical properties of plants, the best manner of securing and concentrating their healing virtues, also an extensive system, and how to adapt remedies to these diseases! It is horrible to think and to know how cruelly the afflicted are imposed upon by presumptuous men for the sake of money ! Fortunes made out of the agonies of the sick! and no , equivalent rendered the despairing sufferers For sale by J. GISH & BRO., Agents.

Now creating, now destroying; Ceaseless wishes tear hie breast; Ever seeing, ['e'er enjoying; Still tb be, but never blest. Woman, contented in silent repose, Enjoys in its beauty, life's flower as it blows, And waters and tends it with innocent heart ; Far richer than man with his treasures of art ; And wiser by far, in the circles confined, Than he with his science and lights of the mind Coldly to himself sufficing, Man disdains the gentler arts, Knoweth not the bliss arising From the interchange of hearts. Slowly through his bosom stealing, Flows the genial current on, Till by age's frost congealing, It is hardened into stone. She, like the harp that instinctively rings, As the night-breathing zephyr soft sighs o'er the strings, Responds to each impulse with steady reply, Whether sorrow or pleasure her sympathy try ; And tear-drops and smiles on her countenance play, Like sunshine and showers of a morning in May. Through the range of man's dominion Terror is the ruling word— And the standard of opinion Is the temper of the sword. Strife excites, and pity, blushing, From the scene departing flies, Where, to battle madly rushing, Brother upon brother dies. Woman commands with a wilder control— She rules by enchantment the realms of the soul, As she glances around in the light of her smile, The war of the passion is hushed for awhile ; And discord content from hisrfury to cease, Reposes entranced on the pillows of peace. From the National Era THOUGHTS OF HEAVEN. No:sickness there, No weary wasting of the frame away, No fearful shrinking from the midnight air, No dread of summer's bright and fervid ray ! No hidden grief, No wild and cheerless vision of despair; No vain petition for a swift relief, No tearful eye, no broken hearts are there Care has no home Within that realm of ceaseless praise and song, Its tossing billows break and melt in foam, Far from the mansions of the spirit throng. The storm's black wing Is never spread athwart celestial skies ! Its wailing blends not with the voice of spring, As some too tender flow'ret fades and dies. No night distils Its chilling dews upon the tender frame; No moon is needed there ! the light, which fills That land of glory, from its Maker came. No parted friends O'er mournful recollections have to weep ; No bed of death enduring love attends, . To watch the coming of a pulseless sleep ! No blasted flower Or withered bud celestial gardens know ! No scorching blast, or fierce descending shower, Scatters destrUction like a ruthless foe ! .No battle word Startles the sacred host with fear and dread; The song of peace Creation's morning heard ; Is sung wherever angel-minstrels tread ! Let us depart, If home like this await the weary soul, Look up, thou stricken one; thy wounded heart Shall bleed no more at sorrow's stern control. With faith our guide, White-robed and innocent, to trace the way, Why fear to plunge in Jordan's rolling tide, And find the ocean of Eternal Day 7 Miscellaneous. A Sad Disappointment. The latest and most ludicrous evidence of the truth of the adage that there is many a slip be tween the cup and the lip," occurred at Cincinnati some days ago. A gentleman had been fortunate enough not only to Win the affections of a lady and prevail on her to name the happy day, but had the felicity to see the day arrive. Full of love, fervor, and anticipations of bliss, he repaired—with his license and minister's fee snugly laid away in his coat pocket—to a barber's for the purpose of being enabled to present himself with a face as smooth as his heart was full to his expected bride. Unfor tunately for him, the operation of shaving is one which cannot be properly performed without the removal of coat and cravat, both of which he care fully hung up in the shop. The operation was finished, and having, in the most serene state of mind, approached to resume the articles of which he had divested himself, he was amazed to find that his coat was gone. It was a most grievous predic ament, and his manner proved that it was so; for he raved and stormed, and hunted and threatened, in a most violent manner—but the coat was not forthcoming; and with the coat the license had departed—not to mention the fee that was to end and crown the ceremony. There was no help for it. The hour appointed had arrived; and to the amazement of the company, the unfortunate bride groom presented himself to his astonished Dulcinea in his shirt sleeves, and in a broken and incoherent speech, explained his dire misfortune. Very for tunately for him, the lady was both considerate and lind; and the match was postponed until another license--and another coat and fee—could be pro cured, to finish it in a proper manner.—N. .11merican. Goodness of God. Wherever we direct our eyes, whether we direct them inward upon ourselves, we behold His good ness to occupy and penetrate the very toot and centre of our beings; or extend them abroad tow ard the things about us, we may perceive ourselves enclosed wholly, and surrounded with His benefits. At home we find a comely body framed by His curious artifice, various organs fitly proportioned, situated and tempered for strength, ornament, and motion, actuated by a gentle heat, and invigorated with lively spirits, disposed to health, and qualified for a long endurance; subservient to a soul endued with divers senses, faculties and powers, apt to in quire after, pursue, and perceive various delights and contents. Or when we contemplate the won. derful works of nature, and, walking about at our leisure, gaze upon this ample theatre of the world, considering the stately beauty, constant order, and sumptuous furniture thereof, the glorious splendor and uniform motion of the heavens, the pleasant fertility of the earth, the curious figure and fragrant sweetness of plants, the exquisite frame of animals, and all other amazing miracles of nature, wherein the glorious attributes of God (especially His tran scendent goodness) are most conspicuously dis played, (so that by them not only large acknowl edgements, but even congratulatory hynns, as it were, of praise, have been extorted from the mouths of Aristotle, Pliny. Galen, and such like men, never suspected guilty of an excessive devotion,) then should our hearts be affected with thankful sense, and our lips break forth into His praise.—Dodor Barrow. Wealth of the English Aristocracy. We find iu a digest of Mr. Colman's recent book on Europe, prepared for tbetßoston Transcript, some interesting particulars of the wealth of several of the noblemen of Great Britain : Althrope, the residence of Earl Spencer, consists of 10,000 acres, "all lying together in wood, mea dow, pasture, gardens, parks, and everything in a style of superior beauty and order." His house contains sleeping rooms for seventy guests—the entries and rooms are filled with pictures and sta tues. A gallery of pictures, one hundred feet long? contains many of the works of the first masters His library comprises more than 50,000 volumes, and is said to be the finest library is the world. The duke of Richmond's home farm (Good wood) consists of 23,000 acres. His whole do main at Goodwood is 40,000 acres. He has a summer retreat in Scotland of between 200,000 and 300,000 acres. "Of the beauty and magnificence of this establishment," says Mr. Colman, "1 cannot give you any adequate idea ;" extensive parks, through which you ride for miles and miles—herds of deer, sheep, and cattle—twenty five race horses in the stable, and a groom for each—an aviary, filled with a variety of splendid birds—fish ponds, grottos, &c. The annual income of the duke of Devonshire, the proprietor of Chatsworth, is said -to be £200,- 000, or one million of dollars. This is said to be the most splendid nobleman's seat in the kingdom. His arboretum, covering many acres, contains one or more specimens of every tree that can be accli. mated; the kitchen garden covers twelve acres-e , a. conservatory, 367 feet long, 117 wide, 67 high, with a carriage way. This conservatory is covered with 7,600 square feet of glass, and ;warmed with hot water, passing through an extent of seven miles. The fountain at Chatsworth throws the water to the height of 278 feet. Here the duke owns 3,500 acres, and a full account of their interior arrange ment; style of living, &c., the reader is referred to the lettters of Mr. Colman. On page 108, vol 1, Mr. Colman gives an ac count of several noblemen whose annual income varied from £lOO,OOO to £150,000, that is, from $500,000 to $700,000. Speaking of Lord Yar borough, he :says that his lordship " has an indefi nite number of hunters;' &c., and adds: "It was the custom at this Place for his lordship, and his guests were always invited to accompany him, at nine o'clock precisely, in the evening, to visit the stables, where the hunting and riding horses were kept, which were reached by a covered passage-way from the house. The stables presented all the neatness of a house parlor; and the grooms were more than a dozen in number, all drawn up in a line to re ceive the company." Lord Yarborough has more than 000,000 acres in his plantation; he has six hundred tenants, and you can ride thirty miles, in a direct line, upon his estate. " Many of the ten ants of lord Yarborough pay 1,000 to 1,400 guineas a year rent, and several of them live like noblemen, keeping their dogs, horses, carriages, and servants in livery." Of the duke of Richmond's style of living, &c., Mr. Colman says: "The service, at dinner, was always silver and gold throughout, plates and dishes, except for the jellies and puddings, and those the most beautiful china." 'ln truth, Mr. Colman's book resembles the grotto of Antiparos, the glitter of whose illuminated stalactites does not surpass the splendor of the gold, and silver, and diamonds, and pearls, which were displayed before him. In a certain sense, apart from the valuable and curious information which it conveys, this work may fitly enough be called—the ladies' own book. The duke has more than forty race horses, and sixty grooms and hostlers. His salmon fishery at the Gordon Castle used to be let for £lO,OOO. and now lets for £7,000 per annum, or $36,000. If the reader is desirous of knowing something of the style of surpassing splendor in which a Bri tish baronet may live, with his 500 tenants around him, he will be abundantly gratified by turning to Mr. Colman's account of Sir Charles Morgan's es tablishment at Tradago, vol. 1. p. 193. Then let him turn to the account of Woburn Abbey, p. 310, residence of the duke of Bedlord, which, says Mr. C., "in its magnificeyce distances anything I have yet seen, and next to the royal palace, may be con sidered the acme of elegance and grandeur." After alluding to a court ball, which one lady wore £60,000, or $300,000 worth of diamonds, Mr. C. remarks : "The duchess of Roxburgh, whom I do not know, appeared most splendidly; and well she might, as the annual income of the duke is sta ted to be £300,000." Upon this point these statements may suffice. There are very. very few of our wealthiest men, whose entire estate is equal to the income of this nobleman for a single year. In the eyes of these noblemen our "merchant princes" must appear to be a set of beggarly fel lows. The comparative estimate of wealth is well exhibited in the remark of John Jacob Astor, of New York. who is reported to have said that he who had only five hundred thousand dollars, was as well off as if he was a rich man. Newspaper Credit System. The correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot, speaking of the National Intelligencer, says that the outstanding debts due to that establishment, are es timated at $400,000. This shows the folly of - 'the credit system in the newspaper business. The National Intelligencer is one of the oldest newspapers in the country ; and we believe that its list of subscribers is, on the score of respectability;wealth and mind, equal if not superior to that of any other newspaper estab lishment in the country. There is hardly a Whig planter in the Southern States but is a subscriber to the Intelligencer. There are hundreds of per sons, men of wealth too, who have for years been receiving and reading that paper without contribu ting a cent to the support of its proprietors, two of the most generous hearted men in the printing business in the United States. We doubt not that there are other subscription papers, the proprietors of which can tell as sad a story as that given above. The loss to every paper of the kind is not less, on an average, than twenty per cent. per annum. ,We know of an instance which occurred in this city a few years ago, where on old establishment was compelled to fail; and at the same time its outstanding debts were not less than $26,900, not one quarter part of which was ever collected by the assignees. The late. Major Russell once attempted to draw up his subscribers to a paying point—some of them were indebted to him for twenty years' subscription. One of these, an old farmer having received a lawyer's letter, called upon the Major, and in a great rage ordered him to stop his paper. "I'll be d—d," said he, "if I will take a paper of any man who duns me to pay for it!" The old scoundrel hail read the paper for over twenty years without paying a cent to its proprietor.—Boston Herald. Limits of the Human Mind. Newton was one day asked, why he stepped for ward when he was so inclined; and from what cause his arui and his hand obeyed his will? He honestly replied that he knew nothing Abut the matter. "But at least," said they to him, "you who are so well acquainted with the gravitation of plan ets, will tell us why they turn one way sooner than another?" Newton still avowed his ignorance. Those who teach, that the ocean was salted for fear it should corrupt, and that the tides were crea ted to conduct our ships into port, were a little ashamed when told that the Mediterranean has ports and no tides. Muchemdrock himself has fallen into this error. Who has ever been able to determine precisely how a billet of wood is changed into red hot char coal, and by what mechanism lime is heated by cold water. The first motion of the heart in animals—is that accounted for? Has it been exactly discovered how the business of generation is arranged? Has any one divined the cause of sensation, ideas, and memory? We know no more of the essence of matter than the children who touch its superficies; Who will instruct us jn the mechanism by which a grain of corn, which we cast into the earth, dis poses itself to produce a stalk surmounted with an ear; or why the sun produces an apple on one tree and a chesnut on the next one to it? Many doctors have said, "What know I not?" Montaigne said, "What know I?"—Scientific American. The Lamented Polk. The funeral of the-ex-President took place at Nashville, on Saturday, the 16th of June, at 3 o'clock, P. M_ The Nashville Union, of the 18th speaks in the following touching and eloquent terms of the interment, and the illustrious deceased: In accordance with the request of the Mayor and Aldermen, all the ordinary avocations were sus pended, stores and other places of business closed, and several houses draped in black on the day'' in dicated. At the special request of the deceased, he was consigned to the tomb by Masons, and with Masonic orders. After the fraternity had gone through with the customary ceremonies—both affeqfing and impressive—at his residence, the body was conveyed to the Methodist Church, and a fu neral sermon delivered by the Rev. J. B. McFerrin. The speaker, in that portion of his remarks perso nal to the deceased, gave a brief sketch of his life and public career, passed a high and deserved eulo gium on his moral character and unblemished in tegrity, and detailed, in a forcible and impressive manner, the particulars of his last illness and death. Early' in his sickness Mr. Polk had connected him self with the Methodist Church—a church for which, as his fiiends and acquaintances all know, he had always felt a preference. The funeral ser vices performed, the body was conveyed to the grave yard, accompanied by the masons. the city authorities, and a long train of mourning cilizens, and deposited in the tomb with masonic forms, after a brief but beautiful and appropriate address by Wilkins Tannehill, P. G. M., presiding officer of the fraternity. A benediction by the minister closed the ceremonies, and our distinguished fellow citizen was left to his last and long repose. 'To the State of Tennessee, the history of James K. Polk is familiar. Early in life he commenced his career as a public man, and for nearly thirty years he has been prominently before the public eye. 'Beginning at the foot of the ladder, without any other aid than his untiring energy, patient in dustry, and superior talents, he climbed step by step until he reached the summit; and then, after having filled every grade with distinguished honor and ability, as if his work were done, sunk to rest, alas, not full of years, but full of honors. Mr. Polk was born on the 7th of November, 1795, and, of course, had not quite completed his fifty-fourth year at the time of his death. But in this brief period of little over half a century, what mighty events have been compressed ! When born, the throes of infantine Democracy were convulsing the thrones . of the old world, and promising an early and vig orous manhood. At his death, the young giant is again aroused, let us hope stronger-and healthier than of yore. In his own country, he has seen the young republic measure swords on equal terms with the greatest of nations, and crush a more ig noble foe almost without an effort. He has seen the population which had just begun to ascend the eastern side of the Alleghenies, spread over the mighty valley, rise that loftier range whose sum mits are lest in perpetual snow, and descend its western slope to the surf-line of the greatest of oceans. He has seen our territory more than dou bled, and our boundaries definitely settled. And of the most important of these. events during the last quarter of a century, he was a part. Whatever may be our opinions of the policy of his acts, in his: different public capacities, we concede their importance, and admit the ability with which they were conceived, and the energy with which they were consummated. If success, as seems univer sally allowed, be the test of capacity, and the "true touchstone of desert"—then he was eminently de serving. He sleeps with the great and good who have gone before him. May the earth lie lightly over his remains. Marriage Altar. Judge Charlton in a - recent el9quent address be- fore the the Young Men's Library Association, at Augusta, Ga., thus sketches the marriage scene I have drawn for you many pictures of death ; let me sketch for you know a brief; but right scene of beautiful life. It is the marriage altar; a lovely female, clothed in all the freshness of youth and surpassing beauty, leans upon the arm of him, to whom she has just plighted her faith, to whom.she has given up herself forever. Look in her eyes, ye gloomy philosophers, and tell me, if you dare, that there is no happinesson earth. See the trusting, the heroic devotion, which compels her to leave country parents, for a comparative stranger. She has launched her frail bark upon a wide and stormy sea; she has handed over her happiness and doom for this world to another's keeping; but she has done it fearlessly, 'for love whispers to, her that her chosen guardian and protector bears a manly and noble heart. Oh, woe to him that deceives her! Oh, woe to him that forgets his oath and his man hood: Her wing shall the eagle flap, O'er the false-hearted, His lire blood, the wolf shall lap, Ere his life he parted : Shame and dishonor sit On his grave ever: Blessings shall hallow it, never, Never, oh, never. We have all read the story of the husband who,. in a moment of hasty wrath, said to her who but a few months before had united her fate to his—lf you are not satisfied,-with my conduct, go return to your friends and to your happiness. "And will you give me back that which I brought to you ?" asked the despairing wife. "Yes," he replied, all your wealth shall go with you—l covetit not." "Alas!" she answered, " I thought not of my wealth—l spoke of my maiden affections--of my buoyant hope—of my devoted love; can you 'give these back to me ?" "Nor' said the man, throwing himself at her feet. " No! I cannot restore these; but I will do more—l will keep them unsullied and unstained. I will cherish them Through my life and in my death, and never again will I forget that I have sworn to protect and cheer her who gave up to me-all she held most dear," Did I not tell you that there was poetry in a woman word! See it here! the mild, gentle reproof of love, win ning back, tiom its harshness and rudeness, the stern and unyielding temper of an angry man.— Ah, if creation's fairer sex only knew their stron gest weapon's how many of wedlock's fierce battles would be unfought—how much of unhappiness and coolness Would be avoided. Damascus. There is no city, with the exception of Jerusa lem, so noted in sacred history as this. It is now an object of notice of the Christian world tin ac count of the Jeweish persecutions. It is the oldest city upon earth, and slands a solitary stately mon ument in the midst of decay. Babylon and Thebes were its cotemporaries; but the former has had its magnificence, and the latter is represented only by ,its startling ruins. Still, Damascus remains, and now, with the exception of Constantinople, is the largest city in the East.. It is beautifully situated in an extensive and pleasant plain, a few miles to the east of Antilibanus, where the chain begins to turn off to the southeast, under the name of Carmel. Here are "Abana and Parphar, rivers of Damas cus," again calling up the thrilling story of the Syrian leper and Hebrew prophet. Hither, Saul, with his relentless persecutings, following the early Christians, and near its walls the voice from heaven, and the light above the brightness of the sea, ar rested his footsteps. The traveler can still walk through. shown by the credulous monk, the "street which is called Strait," and the very house occupied by Judas, where at the command of Ananias the scales drop ped from his eyes So rich is the country in fruits and flowers, that it has been called, in all ages, the "garden of the world." It is related of Itlahomet, that when, after crossing the desert, he saw :this luxuriant valley, he exclaimed, that he desired but one paradise, and therefore would not enter here for fear of forfeiting his interest in the paradise he anticipated after death —but turned aside without,a close inspection of this tempting scene. Damascus has a peculiar importance, in connection with the progress of Christianity in these parts. 'lt has already been visited by the sigents_of the Bible and Missionary Society. Being the great market where eastern and western merchandise is exchan ged, the general rendezvous of Islani caravans from• the north and east, in their progress to Mecca, and rendered comparatively a safe residence "by to efficiency of Mehomet Ali, it opens one of the most important awl extensive fields of missionary labor.
