Don't you remember the old apple tree
That grew in the edge of the meadow ;
And the maiden who thitherward straying with me
Threw over the sward but one shadow?
Was It the blush of the apples that over us hung,
Which threw o'er her cheek its salt splendor;
And the wild bird around us that lovingly sung,
Which made her low warble so tender?
You remember the bridal time, bright with the flow
Of the cup as deceitful as cherry,
And the neat little cabin home always aglow
With the sweet smile of Dillie, my dearie !
When the wine had smothered love's passionate
flame,
Her blue eyes drooped mournful and lowly
H ow sadly she watched with the footstep that came
Each night time more slowly and slowly !
The path going down to the apple tree, still
Winds over the slope of the meadow;
The dear little cabin peeps over the hill—
But the roses run wild in the shadow !
Don't you remember the ivy-grown church
We used to think lonesome and dreary 7
Beneath the blue marble, just under the birch,
Lies Dillie, Lost Dillie, my dearie

The Defences of Constantinople.
A military correspondent of the London Times,
who appears to have attentively examined the ca
pabilities of defence of Constantinople in cases of
attack, gives the following description of them
It requires a.very favorable wind or the assistance
of steamboats to enable a fleet to penetrate into the
Dardanelles. The mail boat takes sixteen hours
from the entrance of the strait to the Golden Horn,
the port of Constantinople. The fortifications rais
ed at the Dardanelles have, moreover, added still
more formidable defences to those created by na
ture. Two formidable batteries, well armed, are
erected at the very entrance of the strait at the
point at which the waters of the Black Sea fall in
to the Mediterranean. These batteries are called
' Seddil-Balsar ' and Kumkalessi.' The system of
batteries on the two sides is continued in the strait
itself. These batteries are mounted with four hun
dred guns, and served by a brigade of artillery, com
manded by a Pacha. A regiment of the brigade
is lodged in barracks on each side and well exer
cised at handling their guns ; for in is well known
the artillery is the best corps the in Turkish army.
Among the guns by which the passage of the
Dardanelles is defended there is one which deserves
_particular notice. Such guns bear the name of
'kemmerliks in Turkey, and cast stone balls of the
weight of ten quintals. The charge of gunpowder
is nearly one quintal. The battery in which the
kemmerliks are placed is called Sulta-mijets,"Bat
tery of the Sultan.' It is situated on the Asiatic
side, near the residence of the Pacha who commands
the brigade. 'it is the largest battery at the 'Dar
danellei. It contains one hundred pieces of artil
lery. Opposite to it, on the European side, are two
-batteries, the Namaia,' placed side by side with
the Kilu Bahar,' with eighty-six guns. The lat
ter contains the largest piece of artillery in Turkey.
It is a kemmerlik which casts stone balls of twelve
quintals weight. The point on which these batte
ries is erected is the narrowest in the Dardanelles.
Any ships which should endeavor to force the strait
would consequently have to pass under the cross fire
of two hundred pieces of artillery, without count
ing all the others which they might meet in their
passage. The Dardanelles could stop a. French or
English fleet which should endeavor to reach Con
stantinople. It is through her that the combined
fleets of Great Britain and France must pass to
arrive at the capital or beyond it, to protect it on
the side of the Bosophorus and the Black Sea. It
is through the Bosophorus, which forms the North
ern maratime gate, that the Russian fleet, coming
from Odessa, would,have to enter.
Now, let us see what are the means of detence
on the side of the Bosphorus and the Black Sea.—
This; is the most important object under existing
circumstances. It is the point the most menaced,
because it is by that the Russian fleet will arrive
from Sebastopol, in case it should make a serious
attempt by sea to take possession of the capital of
Turkey. The Russian fleet in the Black Sea is
composed of thirteen ships of the line, of which six
are 120 guns, eight frigates of 60 guns, six corvet
tes and twelve vessels of inferior size. This fleet is
supplied with a park of artillery of large calibre,
but it is deficient in steamboats, which renders its
revolutions difficult, and might become dangerous,
particularly in the neighborhood of the Bosphorus.
The navigation of the Black Sea offers in fact much '
danger. The winds are inconstant in that sea.—
They
cannot be depended on for many days in suc- I
cession. The wind varies from one point to anoth
er, and raises such a swell that a fleet at sea could
with difficulty escape, for there is in fact no harbor
on the Asiatic side, and Varna is the only port on
the European side capable of receiving ships of a
large tonnage. But Varna is a very strong place
belonging to Turkey, and to which the Russinns
could not have access easily. Tue Black Sea is,
moreover, freqUently 4il suddenly covered with a
log, so thick, that it ix impossible to see one hun
dred yards ahead, and consequently large ships nav
igating together run the risk sf falling foul of each
other or of running on the shoals. The banks of
the two sides of the Bosphorus are covered through.
out the year with the wrecks of ships arid dead
bodies the sea has thrown up.
Numerous modes of defence have been created,
moreover, by artificial means, to defend the entrance
of the Bosphorus. There are 21 batteries, well arm
ed, on both banks. Each of those batteries forms
a small stone fortress, provided with barracks,
powder magazines, and a mosque, and behind each
is a small village. The batteries are placed partly
in the Bosphorus, opposite each other, so that a ship
attempting the passage would be exposed to the
cross fire of both batiks. Two others are situated
out of the 80 - sphorus, on the European side, and
two on the Asiatic coast of the Black Sea. The
two batteries erected at the extremities of the points
of the Bosphorus are provided with the light houses
(feners,) and are for that reason called, that on the
Asiatic side of 'Anatoli Fener,' and that in Europe
`Rumili Fener.' The Pasha at the head of artille
ry of the Black Sea resides at Rumili Fener, and
his house commands an extensive view of .the sea.
In the Bosphorus itself; close to the entrance are
eight batteries, four on each side. Those are the
batteries chiefly for defence. They contain one
hundred and sixty-five guns of the largest size.--
They are placed in the narrowest part of the strait
where the width does, not exceed fifteen hundred
yards. The waters of the Black Sea rush through
this passage with impetuosity, and its navigation is
rendered still more dangerous by the shallowness of
the water in one spot - , where the vessels, in order to
avoid the shoals, are obliged to approach within
two hundred-yards of the Asiatic batteries, so that
a fleet which should attempt to force an entrance
would be literally riddled by shot.
Further on in the strait this system of batteries
continues. Some are placed on a level with the
ground, so as to sweep the surface of the sea and
others are erected on the summit of rocks, plnng
ng their fire on the ships. The guns are mounted
on a stone platform, in order to obviate the incon
veniences occasioned in manwuvering them by the
changes in the temperature. Above each battery
is a wooden tower of a symmetrical construction,
surmounted by a long pole for the flags. These
poles serve as telegraphs for the transmission of or
ders along the whole line of the Bosphorus. When
a ship of the. Ottoman navy passes, the battaries sa
lute her by hoisting a flag bearing the crescent and
a star. The Sultan sometimes comes to breathe
the sea air in one of his palaces on the Bosphorus.
All the batteries then hoist a large banner bearing
a white sun on a crimson ground.
A brigade of artillery is specially charged with
the service of the batteries along the Bosphorus
and Black Sea, and another is entrusted with the
defence of the Dardanelles. It consisted of two reg
iments of six companies of one hundred and fifty
men each, in all eighteen hundred artillery men,—
These artillerymen are well drilled, and were dr
ganized by the Prussian Colonel Kuckskowsky, as
sisted by a number of non-commissioned officers he
had brought with him.
It will be seen by this summary description of
the fortifications of Constantinople, that the capital
of the Turkish empire, even if abandoned to itself,
would not be so easily conquered. The• elements,
the approach to the Bosphorus on the side of the
Black Sea, the dangerous passage of the straits, the
fortifications constructed by the Turks, the nume
rous batteries erected on both sides of the channel,
and the 451 guns mounted on them, served by good
artillerymen, are means of resistance against which.
in all probability, the Russian fleet would fail.
If we add to these the Turkish fleet, 'and, in case
of need, the English and French fleets, it will be
easily believed that Constantinople is not yet on
the eve of falling into the hands of the Emperor
Nicholas, even though he should fling away his
mask and declare openly his secret designs. The
Emperor himself has said one must have strong
teeth to crack such nuts; and the question. is, does
he believe that he has the requisite set ? He CAI
beat answer that question; but my opinion now,
as in the beginning of this question, is, that so long
as England and France are united to protect Tor
key.from aggression, Russia will be powerless to as
sail her. It is not alone England and France that
are interested in protecting Turkey from ruin.--
All Europe is equally so in maintaining its own
equilibrium. The success of that aggression would
be followed by a general war, and Europe wishes
for peace.
Little Bessie; •
OR MISS PRIM'S MODEL SCHOOL
School is out! What stretching of limbs; what
unfettering of tongues and heels; what tossing up of
pinafores and primers; what visions of marbles and
hoops, and dolls, and apples. and candy, and ginger
bread ! How welcome the fresh air; now bright
the sunshine; how tempting the grassy play ground!
Ah, there's a drop of rain—there's another, and an
other; there's a thunder clap. - . Just as school is
out, how prosoking!" echo a score of voices; anti
the pouting little prisoners hudd,e together iu the
school house porch, and console themselves by swap
ping jack-knives and humming tops, and telling
marvellous stories of gypsies and giants; while Miss
Prim, the dyspeptic teacher, shakes her head and
the ferule, and declares that the tormer will "fly
into fifty pieces;" upon which some of the'boys steal
out of doors and amuse themselves by sounding the
pntldles with their shoes, while others slyly whittle
the desks'or draw caricatures, on their slates, of
Miss Prim's long nose.
ip, drip—spatter, spatter! How the rain comes
down, as it it could'nt help it; no prospect of hold
ing up."
Here comes messengers from anxious mothers,
with India rubbers, extra tippets, and umbrellas;
and there's a chaise at the door, for Squire Lenox's
little rosy daughter; and a wag on for the two little
Prince girls; and a stout Irish girl, with a blanket
shawl, to carry home little .Minnie May, who is as
fragile as a lilly and just as sweet. And there's a
servant man for Master Simpkins, the fat dunce,
with the embroidered jacket, whose lather owns the
"big Hotel and wishes his son to have a seat all by
And now they are all gone;—all, save little Bes
sie Bell, the new scholar,—a little four-year-old-er,
who is doing penance over in that corner for "a
misdemeanor."
Bessie's mother is a widow. She has known such
bright, sunny days, in the shelter of a happy home,
with a dear arm to lean upon! Now, her sweet
lace is sad and care worn, and when she speaks her
voice has a heart quiver in it; but somehow, when
she talks to you, you do not notice that her dress
.is faded, or her bonnet is shabby and rusty. You
instinctively touch your hat to her, and treat her
very courteously, as if she were a fine lady.
As I said before, this is little Bessie's first day at
school; for, she is light and warmth add sunshine
to her broken-hearted mother. But little Bessie must
have bread to eat. A shop-woman offered her moth
er a small pittance to come and help her, a part of
every day; but she must not bring her child; so Bes
sie must go to school, to be out of harm's way, arid
her mother tells Mrs. Prim, as she seats her on the
hard bench, that "she is very timid and tender-heart
ed; and then she kisses Bessie's little quivering lip,
and leaves her with a heavy heart.
Bessie dare not look up, for a few minutes;—it
is all very odd and strange, and if she were not so
frightened she would cry aloud. Bye and bye she
gains a little courage, and peeps out from beneath
her drooping eye-lashes. Her little pinafore neigh
bor, giving her a sweet smile, it makes her little
sad heart so happy, that she throws her dimpled
arms about her fleet( and says, (out loud) 'I love
you."
Poor, affectionate little Bessie! she didn't know
that was a 'misdemeanor,' nor had she ever seen that
bug-bear, a "School. Committee." Miss Prim had;
and Miss Prim never wasted her lungs talking; so,
she leisurely untied her black silk apron from her
virgin waist and proceeded to make an African of
little Bessie, by pinning it tightly over her face and
head—an invention which herself and the "Commit
tee" considered the ne plus ultra of discipline. Bes
sie struggled, and said, "she never would kiss any
boey—never—never,"—but Miss Prim was inexor
able, and, as her victim continued to utter smoth
ered cries, Miss Prim told her "that she would keep'
her after the other children had gone home."
One class after another recited; Bessie's sobs be
came less loud .and frequent, and Miss Prim flatter.
ed herself now that they had ceased altogether, that
she was quite subdued, and congratulated herself
complacently upon her extraordinary talent for
"breaking in new beginners."
And now, school being .done, the children gone,
her bonnet and India rubbers being put on, and all
her spinster 'fixins" settled to her mind, visions of
hot tea and buttered toast began to float tempting.
ly through her brain and suggest the propriety of
Bessie being released.
"Bessie!"—no answer.—"Bessie!"—no reply.—
Miss Prim laid the ferule across the little fat shoul
ders. Bessie didn't wince. Miss Prim unpinned
the black apron, to confront the face that was bold
enough to defy her and "The Committe." Little
Bessie was dead.
Well;—there was a pauper funeral, and a report
that a child had been "frightened to death at school;"
but Bessie's mother was a poor woman; consequent
ly the righteous Committee 'didn't feel called upon
to interfere with such idle reports." FANNI Futer.
A MAN or TASTE.-A writer in the last Harper
gives a thrillitig account of his adventures with Kit
Carson over:the Rocky Mountains and through the
desert. At one interesting period of the j utney,
the party were out of food and had to take to horse
flesh. He dais argued the question, horse flesh
or no horse flesh," and gives us an account cot how
he liked it:
To eat, or not to eat, became " the question, "
and after due consideration. Hnnger arguing the
case on one side, with strong Necessity for an ad
vocate, and Fastidiousness taking the opposite, with
Prejudice for backer, I came to the conclusion that
I would not and could not eat horse flesh. In ac
cordance with this valorous decision, although up
on our arrival at camp, a horse, (lean, old, and de
cidedly tough) was actually killed, cut up, and
freely eaten of, I alone stood aloof, and went sup
perless to bed. But it was all in vain ; for Starva
tion is a weighty reasoner, and Hunger gained the
day at last. I stood out like a Trojan for eight and
forty hours, and then " gave in " with as good grace
as possible, and, more than a week ate horse flesh
regularly. Perhaps the reader would like to know
how it tasted. I can only say that it was an old
animal, a tough animal, and a sore backed animal,
and, upon the whole—l prefer Beef.

CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBERO, 1853.
Cecile Gray.
Alas for love! if THU BE ALL,
And NOUGHT BEYOND, oh ! earth !
"Tie a girl. sir; my lady has a daughter."
"Heaven be praised!" said the discontented lath
er of sax unruly boys. "Now I have something
gentle to love. Small comlort to me, those boys;
house topsy turvy from morning till night, with
their guns, fishing tackle, pointers, setters, hounds,
spaniels, and what not: Tom's college bills per
fectly ruinous—horses, oysters and cigars all:lump
ed under the head of et ceteras; I understand it all
—or my purse does. But this little gentle girl!—
climbing upon my knee, and making music and
sunshine in the house, with her innocent face and
silvery laugh, the little human blossom of my life's
rough, thorny way-side, she'll make amends. Am
I not the happiest husband in the world; my heart
shall find a resting place here. She must be high
ly educated and accomplished. I shall spare no
pains to effect that. Ah, I see, after all, I shall
have a happy old old age." Very lovely was little
Cecile! She had her mother's soft hazle eye and
waving auburn hair, and her father's Grecian pro
file. There was a winning sweetness in her smile,
and grace and poetry in every motion. It was a
pretty sight! her golden tresses mingling with
those silver locks, as she rested her bright head
against the old man's cheek. Even 'the boys,"
could harbor could harbor no anger at her quiet
reign! shawound herself quite as closely round their
hearts. Then it was a new tie to bind the sunder
ed husband and wile together. Something of the
old bygone tenderness crept unconsciously into their
mannee to each other. It was their idol! and they
pressed her rapturously to the parental hearts, for
getting she was but clay.
Tutors and governesses without limit went and
came, before the important selection was made.—
Tnen—su many injunctions! "She must not study
so much as to spoil her fine eyes; she must only
draw a few minutes at a time, lest it should cause
a stoop in the shoulders;' she must not go out in
the sun, for fear of injuring her complexion. She
was told every hour of the day of her rare perfec
tion; now her attitude—then her eyes—then her
shape; shedancesi like a fairy—sang like a seraph,
in short needed wings only to make her an angel.
Every servant in the house knew his or tier for
tune was made, if Miss Cecile was pleased, and
shaped their course accordingly. If "the boys" were
doubtful of the success of a request, Cecile was em
ployed secretly to negotiate. The reins of house
hold government were in those little (airy fingers.
No wonder that little Cecile thought herself om
nipotent. No wonder she stood before "Psyche,"
arranging with a maiden's pride, those glossy ring
lets. Small marvel that she saw with exultation
those round and polished limbs, and pearly teeth,
and starry eyes, and tossed her bright curls in tri
umph at the hearts that were already laid at her
feet. Her mirror but silently repeated the voice of
flattery that met her at every step. Cecile was
beautiful. The temple was passing (air; but ah,
there rose from its altar no holy incense to heaven.
'Those bright eyes opened and closed like the flow
ers, and like them drak in the dew and the sunlight,
regardless of the giver.
It was Cecile's eighteenth birth day. The most
extensile preparations had been made to celebrate
it. She was to electrify the beau monde with her
debut. A gossamer robe, fit for a Peri, silvery and
light, floated soft as a fleecy cloud around those
matchless limbs. Gems and jewels would have
been out of place beside those starry eyes. Nature's
simplest offering; the drooping lilly, blended with
her tresses. The flush of youth and hope were on
her cheek; her step was already on the threshhold
of that brilliant, untried world which her beauty
was to dazzle and to conquer. Other sylph-like
forms there were, and bright laces that made sun
light in happy homes, but the peerless Cecile quench
ed their beams on that happy birth day.
The proud father looked on exultingly. -Beau
tiful as a dream,' echoed from one end of the sa
loon to the other. His eye followed her, noted ev
ery glance of admiration, and then he said to him
seli, "the idol is mine." Say you so, loud father?
See, her head droops heavily—her limbs relax—she
has fainted! They bathe her pale face and power
less hands, then they bear her to the dressing room,
and she lies on that silken couch like some rare
piece of sculpture. The:revellers disperse; the gar
'ands droop; darkness and silence reign where mer
ry feet tripped lightly. The physicihn sits by the
bedsidd of his fair patient, and with mistaken kind
ness he says to the frantic parents—" She will be
easier soon—she will be free from pain to-morrow;"
and then he leaves her with the anxious watchers.
Morning dasi-ned. "Yes, Cecile was better," so
her father said; and she sat up, and put her fair
arms around his neck, and called him, "her own
dear father r and he smiled through his tears, and
parted the bright damp locks from her brow, and
said "she should have another ball, gayer than the
last, and look lovelier than ever;" then her mother
laid a bandeau of pearls across across her pale fore.
head, and said that they became her passing well."
Cecile smiled faintly when she replaced them in
their case, and then her mother came hack again
to the bedside.
Ah what fearful shadows in that momentary in
terval, bad crept over that sweet face? 'Cecile !
Cecile!' said the bewildered woman, shivering with
an undefinable terror, 'speak to me Cecile! what is
it!
'Am I dying mother?' 'Oh mother! you never
taught me how to die!'
In the still grey dawn, at sultry noon, in the
hushed and starry night, long after that bright young
head was covered with the violets, rang that plain
tive, reproachful voice in the parental ear, 'You
never taught me how to die'
GOOD-DrE.—The editor of the Albany Register
comments thus upon this simple word, so common
and yet so full of solemn and tender meaning:
"How many emotions cluster around that word.
How full of sadness, and to us how full of sorrow
it sounds. It Is with us a consecrated word. We
heard it once within the year, as we have never to
hear it again. We spoke it on an occasion such
os we hope never to speak it again. It was in the
chamber of death, at the still hour of night's noon.
The curtains to the windows were all closed, the
lights were shaded, and we stood in,the dim and sol
emn twilight, with others at the bed of the dying.—
The damps of, death were on her pale young brow,
and coldness was on her lips, as we kissed her for
the last time while living. 'Good-bye, my daugh
ter,' we whispered, and ' Good-bye, father,' came
faintly from her dying lips. We know not if she
ever spoke more, but 'Good bye,' was the last we
ever heard of her sweet voice: We hear that last
sorrowful word often and often, as we sit alone,
busy with the memories of the past. We hear it
in the silence of night, in the hours of nervous
wakefulness, as we. lay upon our bed thinking of
the loved and the lost to us. We hear it in our
dreams, when her sweet face comes back to us as
it was in its loveliness and beauty. We hear it
when we sit beside her grave in • the cemetery
where she sleeps alone, with no kindred as yet by
her side. She was the hope of our life, the prop
upon which to lean when age should come upon
us, and life should be running to its dregs. The
hope and the prop are gone, and we care not how
soon we go down to sleep beside our darling, be
neath the shadow of the trees in the city of the
dead."
A PHOPEINCI—The subjoined extract Irom o'-
Meara's "Voice from St. Helena," will be read with
interest at the present juncture of affairs between
Russia and Turkey
"In the course of a few years, "said Napoleon,
" Russia will have Constantinople, the greatest par t
of Turkey, and all Greece. This I hold to be as
certain as if it had already taken place. Almost
all the cajoling and flattery which Alexander prac
ticed towards me was to gain my consent to effect
this object. I would not conaeht, seeing the equi
librium of Europe would be destroyed. In the na
tural course of things Turkey must fall to Russia.
The greater part of her population are Greeks, who
you may say are Russians. The powers it would
injure, and who would oppose it, are England,
France, Prussia and Austria. Now as to Austria,
it will be easy for Russia to engage her assistance
by giving her Servia and other provinces bordering
on the Austrian dominions, reaching near to Con
stantinople. The only hypothesis, that France and
England may be allied with sincerity, will be in
order to prevent this. But even this alliance would
not avail; France, England and Prussia cannot
prevent it. Russia and Austria can at any time
effect it."
Gethsemane.
[The places which our Lord consecrated while
on his earthly mission, have a peculiar interest to
the modern traveller. On a visit to the Dead Sea,
we have the following account of the Garden of
Gethsemane. We copy the following beautiful de
scription of it from the Puritan Recorder.]
" We spent much time in visiting over and over
again the interesting ldcalities in and around Jeru
salem; Above all others, the spot least doubted,
'and very tar from the least hallowed, was the Gar
den of Gethsemane. It is enclosed by a high stone
wall; and when we saw it, the trees were in blos
som, the clover upon the groudd in bloom, and al
together, in the aspect, and its associations, was
best calculated to soothe a troubled spirit.
Eight venerable trees, isolated frdm the others,
and less imposing ones which skirt the bate of the
Mount of Olives, from a consecrated grove, High
above on either hand, towers a lofty mountain, with
a deep yawning chasm of Jehosaphat between
them. Crowning one of them, is Jerusalem, a liv
ing city; on the slope of the other is the great Jew
ish cemetery, a city of the dead. Each tree in this
grove, cankered, and gnarled, and furrowed by age,
yet beautiful and impressive in its decay, is a liv
ing monument of the affecting scenes that have ta
ken place beneath and around. The Olive perpet
uates itself; and from the root of the dying parent
stem the young tree springs into existence. The 1 1
trees are accounted a thousand years old. Under
those of the preceding growth, therefore, the Sa
viour was wont to rest; and one of the present may
mark the very spot where he knelt and prayed and
wept. No cavilling doubts can find entrance here,
the geographical boundaries are too clear and dis
tinct for an instant's hesitation. Here the Chris
tian, forgetful of the present, and absorbed in the
past, can resign himself to sad, yet soothing med
itation. The few purple crimson flowers growing
about the roots of the trees, will give him ample
food for meditation, for they tell the suffering life
and the ensanguined death of the Redeemer.
On the same slope, a little below Gethsemane, fa
cing the city, are the reputated tombs of Absalom,
Zachariah, St. James, Jehosaphat ; the last, giving
its name to the Valley. Some of them are hewn
bodily from the rock, and the whole from a re
markable group. That of Absalom, in particular,
from its peculiar tint, as well as form. it' style of
architecture, reminded us of the sepulchral monu
ments of Petra. It is eight feet square surmounted
by a rounded pyramid, awl there are six semico
lons to each face, which are of the same mass of
the body of the sepulchre. The tomb of Zacha
riah is also hewn square from the rock. and its
tour sides form a pyramid. The tomb of Jehosa
phat has a handsome carved door! and a portico
with lour columns indicates the sepulchre where
St. James, the apostle, concealed himself.
It was in the Valley of Jehosaphat that Mel
chisedec,' king of Salem, met Abraham on his re
turn from defeating the five kings of the Valley of
Siddin. In the 'depth of this ravine, Moloch
was worshipped beneath the temple of the Most
High, which crowned the summit of Mount Mo
riah.
In the village of Siloam, the scene of Solomon's
apostacy,.the living having ejected the dead, there
are as many dwellings in tombs as in houses. Be
neath it, and at the base of the Mount of Offences`
is the great burial Ground, the desired, final resting
place of the Jews all over the world. The flat
stones, rudely sculptured with Hebrew characters,
lie as the tenants beneath were laid, with their, fa
ces towards Heaven. In ti,e village above it, and
in the city over against it, the silence is almost
death like,, as in the grave yard itself. Here the
voice of hilarity or the hum of social intercourse is
never heard, and when man meets his fellow, there
is no social greeting. The air here never vibrates
with the melodious voice of woman, the dearest ap
proach to the celestial sound; but shrouded from
head to foot, she flits about, abashed and shrink
ing, like some guilty thing. This profound silence
is in keeeping with the scene. Along the slope of
the hill above the village, the M aster on his way
to Bethany, was wont to teach his followers the
sublime truths of the Gospel. On its acclivity, a
little more to the north, he wept for the fate of Je
rusalem. In the garden below he was betrayed;
and within those city walls he was crucified. Ev
erything is calculated - to inspire with awe, and it
is fitting that except in prayer, the human voice
should not disturb these sepulchral solitudes.
The impression from such scenes, cannot fail to
interest every reader of the Gospel narratives.—
We gaze upon the daguerreotype, and only wish it
were our privilege to tread, in the footsteps of the .
Saviour, every inch of ground which is hallowed
by some sacred association.
SMUGGLING IN CALIFORNIA.—The San Francis
co Herald of a recent date relates the following:
A vessel had arri'ved from China with a large
number of Celestials on board. A revenue officer
was as usual placed on board to see that no cargo
was landed without authority. Among the pas
sengers on board, one jolly-looking old fellow at
tracted attention by his extreme portliness. He
had, in fact, a stomach of almost Falstaff propor
tions ; but somehow or other he did not seem easy.
His movements were ungainly and constrained, and
the officer approached him and began to poke him
jocosely about the paunch, when to his surprise a
hollow sound was given back. He repeated his
punches, this time for an object, and found John to
have a prodigiously hard and unyielding stomach.
Here was a discovery. A custom officer on the
scent of a smuggler, is like a cat in pursuit of a
dainty mouse. John was soon divested of his tu•
nic apoprtenances, when Jo! he appeared to have a
tin stomach! and further—that it could be detach
ed without seriously interfering with his digestion.
A post martens examination was held upon the tin
corporation, and strange to say it was found full
of opium. Whether John insisted that he had
eaten it, and its disagreeing with his natural func
tions of digestion had compelled him to resort to
an artificial receptacle, or whether he " acknowl
edged the corn," we now not. At any rate, his
entire tin stomach with its contents, were confisca
ted as contraband, and will doubtless be sold at
auction for the benefit of Uncle Sam's coffers.
EARLY MARRIAGES.—EarIy marriages, like pre
mature fruit, generally turn out anything but pro
ductive except in a race of children which, the pa
rents are generally incapable of taking proper care
of either through the head, heart or purse. Frank
lin was a philosopher, and recommended early mar
riages; but the girls and boys of those days were
made of different metal from the,how-a-time pro
ducts.
A cotemporary, who married a "sweet sixteen,'
thus gives a daguerreotype:—
" She stood beside the altar, when she was six-,
teen. She was in love; her destiny rested on a
creature in fashionable clothes ; with an empty
pocket. lie "came of a good family," and blood
you know is something. She looked love as she
pronounced the vow. Think of a vow from au
burn hair, dark eyes, and pouting lips only sixteen
years old.
She stood beside the washtub when her twenty
sixth birthday arrived. The hair, the lips, the eyes,
were not calculated to excite the heart. Five cross
young ones were about the house crying; some
breaking things and one urging the necessity of an
immediate supply of the lacteal secretion. She stop-.
ped in despair, and sat down, and tears trickled
down her once plump and ruddy cheek. Alas
Nancy, early marriages are not the dodge. Better
enjoy youth at home, and hold lovers at a proper
distance, until you have muscle, limb and heart
enough to face the frowning world and a family.—
If a chap really cares for you, he can wait two or
three years, make presents, take you to concerts,
and so on, until the time comes. Early marriages
and early cabbages are tender productions."
OUR MEIICART RELATIORS.—The New York
Times states that orders have been received at Gov
ernor's Island, from the War Department, for the
immediate transmission to the Rio Giande frontier,
of a very large quantity of artillery, ammunition
and ordnance stores—more in amount than Gen.
Taylor had during his whole campaign. This step,
says the Times, has undoubtedly been taken in coo.
sequence of the movements of Santa Anna, who is
concentrating on the same frontier a very large mil
itary force, and . supplying it very largely with the
munitions of war.

DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon-
don, Graduate from one of the most eminot Col
leges of the United States and, the greaterlsart of
whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of Lon
don, Paris, Philadelphia, and elseurhere,, has affect
ed some of the most -astonishing lures' that were
ever known. Many troubled with ringing in the
ears and head when asleep,great nervousness, being
alarmed at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, with
frequent blushing, attended, sometimes, with de
rangement of mind, were cured immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE
- - -• Dr. J. addresses all those wlio have injured
themselves by private and improper inclulgencies,
that secret and solitary habits, which ruin both
body and mind, unfitting them for either busbies
or society.
These are some of the sad and melancholy ef
fects produced by early habits of youth, viz
Weakness of the }Rick and limbs, Pains in the head,
Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power, Pal
pitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous Irrita
bility, Derangement of the Digestive Functions,
General Debility, Symptoms of Consumption, &c
Mentally.—The fearful effects on the mind are
much to be dreaded: Loss of Memory, Confusion
of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil of Forebo
ding, Aversion of Society, Self Distrust, Love of
Solitude, Timidity, &c. are some of the evils pro
duced•
NERVOUS DEBILITY
Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility and
premature decay generally arises from the destruct
ive habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to
the healthful existence of man, and it is the young
who are the most apt to become its Victims front
n ignorance of the dangers to which they subject
tnemselves. Parents and Guardians are often mis.
led with respect to the cause or source of disease
in their eons and wards. Alas! how often do they
ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame,
Palpitation, of the Hea•,, Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and
Symptoms, of Consumption, also those serious
Mental effe cts, such as loss of Memory, Depres
sion of Spirits or peculiar tits of Melancholy, when
the truth is they have been caused by indulging
Pernicious bin alluring 'practices, destructive to
both Body and Mind. Thus are swept from ex
istence thousands who might have been of use to
their country, a pleasure to their friends, an orna•
Men, to society.
WEAKNESS OF THE ORGANS
immediately cured and full vigor restored.
Oh, how happy have hundreds of misguided
youths been made, who have been suddenly resto
red to health front the devastations of those terrific
maladies which result from indiscretion. Such
persons, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
should reflect that a sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connubial
happiness. Indeed, without this, the journey thro'
life become* a weary pilgrimage; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view • the mind becomes
shadowed with despair, and filled with the melan
choly reflection that the happiness of another be
comes blighted with our own. Let no false delica
cy prevent you, but apply immediately.
He who places himself under the care of Dr
JOHNSTON, may religiously confide in his hon
or as a Gentleman, and confidently rely upon his
skill as a Physician
- .
TO STRANGERS
The many thousands cured at this institution
within the last ten years, and the numerous im
portant Surgical Operations performed by Dr. J.,
witnessed by the Reporters of the papers and ma
ny other persons, notices of which have appeared
again and again before the public; is a sufficient
guarantee that the afflicted will find a skilful and
honorable physician.
