An, broken. brollen is the gokieu bowl
The silver cord Is severed, -
And the ethereal dael:er '
Within the viohdrocur palace,
The fine, fiatl palace of clay;
Is launched upon the deep,
The Shadowy, and Irremeable Ocean,
Battling :frith the stbrms
And tides otihe hereafter.
Searcher of unsounded mysteries,
• Whither is the gentle spirit flown,
Nail that the walls are broken down; .
And the moth and the night-wind hare entered ?
- What silence and barren desOlationis
Appal her wanderings,
What wildernesses of green worlds
With crowns - of amaranth,
And robes of woven beams shall hail her,
Swinging their rosy censers
Ht silver-throated triumph
Early they ddl her—
Went she at the return of tiowets'
And usany-songed
What time the virgin gsass
Pierces the dull, brown !dives
With transparent, tender spears:
With the ilk on her brow -
And the yellow light on her locks,
Went.she to the City of the Silent,
The mighty and marble Capital 'oedeath ;
Our footsteps fall slOwer,
Our hearta moan like autumn,
And rustle like dead leaves,
Since she departed— . • .
0 Misr we toyed her!-
- She whose, Ott earth - . •
Was a Sabbathruelodv,
Was as kill of fountains N ,
Sentinelled by heading roses,
Hemmed - by the fringing's of Mar,
Gold of odorous clover and band; of pansies,
O how we loved her!
She whose . young eyes rested
On the white columns of:the Temple, Beautiful,
That shines and shines e'ermore
In the nave of the Heavenly Hills,
With the music of her steps,
And the glory of her -brows,
Is gone, is cone
Pao - the pale Metropolis. of &alit !
The bell, the bell! that howls to the-clouds
,From is throat of thundering rust,
Is roaring and surging and sobbing—
Ir the thirsty air
'With billows of itotifoarn,
Dropping its big and brazen tears
On the beard of the sorkTing_pines----
Saying feizfiii Is the sleep.of sleeps,
The leaden-lidded slumber of Death,
Saying the Angel of the Flowers is flown, • -
To cone no more—no more !
No, no over the Sea of Shadows;
,Into the golden and Twelve-gated City, '
The palace of our Lord bath she entered
Vietress; her from the airow of slander -
And the dull eilekumai: of the - heart
The gem-bright streets hare taken
-1 e that tread the living pearl,
Open the Ergrlast i ng, Gaies!
Fill the golden air WO a paan,
-The testless,.gtocialaws air of 'leaven,
And with a diadem crown her,
The worthy and beautiful.

The Maronite Patriarch on Mount Lebanon has
forbidden the Maronitesfram haring any dealings with
the Protestants. Tennis chief business has hitherto
been to lend money to the mountaineers on interest,
and many 4 of his customers hate been Maronites.—
Now the Maronitea are all bringing back their. bor
rowed money before the time, so as to hate no more
dealings with a Protestant. Many of them express
their regret, as they prefer to do business with Tan,
ni on account of his honesty, but are obliged to yield
to the po - wer of their Patriarch. Tenni saris it will

Massacre. .4, few months ago a commhtsion watt ap
pointed, consisting of a commisaioner from England,
France, and Constantinople, to investigate the ease.
The rt4gult is that three great officials have been con
demned to death, and - eight others' to exile. The
city inspector of markets and - Saieed Ahmood.Y, a
great religious Sheikh, were immediately executed.
The GoVernor of Mutasellitn was cond emne d, an d
sent to tionatantincopl; for punishment. Of the eight*
sent into exile, rare was once a Sherif (Shereef ) of
Mecca, one ofsthe most aimed offices known to the
Mohnntmedatrreligion. Ills condemnation will ere
ate a more_ profound impression on the minds ofihe
'Moslems than that of a dozen Governors). It is now
to be hoped that the Mcialems wiltlearn thatthe life
of a Frank is something not to be trifled with. The
result at Jeddah is not publishes in the)leirut news)

word about another matter. If yon remember any
thing atmat the fitrt';ous Bald Shertrf, or firmao of
the Sultsn at ronstantinoPle, given in Itirt, you will
remember that it Ileel3reil that hereafter them - mind
Christian pOptalation of the Empire, instead of paving
a military Lis, shall enrol themselves and serve as,
sof:Hera This law was demanded by the foreign
powers as an net of justice to the people. Formerly
and even now the Greeks, Armenians, and all except.
ing the.Mortlems, had to pay enormous taxes in the
place of serving in the army.. This new law compels
them either to serve as soldiers, pr pay a heavy .tax.
The fact id that the Sultan does not wish this nomi
nal Christian subjects to serve as soldiers. It is a
lifoltammedan Empire. All its °Wirers. are Nyharsrst
medurts, anti its soldiers must be, too, or its iwestige
is gone. In any foreign war; the christiau soldiers
would all fight against the Sultan, and the Sultan is
afraidtto put so much power into anti-Muslim hands.
And then, on the contrary,-the christinns as a gener
al thing do not Wish to serve as soldiers. They
dread being under Moslem officers., and they, pay
enormities soms rather than setae. But there are
some of them who wish to serse,,and are determined
to enforce the late firman. A few weeks since, the'
Pasha of Damascus demainted the usual military tax
from the notuitml christian population of the city.—
They refused to pay the money, but offered to furnish
soldiers according to the law ; b d the Pasha declar
ed that he would not accept the men, as he wanted
money. He then seized twenty of the leading men
among the Greek Catholitts, and imprisoned them.—
They appealed to the Consuls of all-the foreign pow
ers, and were released. But the matter is not yet
akrest. The Pasha has imprisoned °there, and there
is a general apprehension that the firman will not be
respected. This violation of the , great Charter of re
ligious and political lilirty to the subjects of the Sul
tan, is regarded by many as a more actions matter
than even the affair At Jeddah.

meat is desperately slow in doing justice._ if is a
great outrage that the-murderers were not executed
lung ago. When the " Wabash" Steam Frigate
comes back:neje, we shall have some hope that the
Turkish authorities will awake from their elpmbcrs.
A renegmle murderer came to.us s the other day, to
ask for employment, saying that he had become Eng.
leez (English) or Protestant. His eye had an evil
look and we held off from hini. At length he said be
,vwas falsely accused of murder, and put -in the Beirut
Prison, whence he escaped a year ago: Afterward',
on being questioned by irmink he admitted that he
did the deed. We refused te have anything to do
with biro , but he tried to get us to help Lim in mon
ey matters, saying that twelve:hundred dollars is the
prix of a man's life in this'coUntry, and he could go
free by paying his uncle,- the father of the murdered
boy, that amount. He then left 1114,,, and after a few
dilvs got into a quarrel with a Moslem in the street.
and has been - sent handcuffed to Beirut. Thus we'
often have men of the most strange and varied char.
acters miming to us for relief, almost reminding one
of David when he lived in the dave Adullam : "and
every one that was in distress, and every one that
was in debt, and every one that was discontented,
gathered themselves unto him."--(I Samuel, 22:2.)
Since cur last letters home, we hate been looking
for a borne again: Our lease of this house expires
in four months, and then we go tabus*. From that
time onward we wish to have another house -which
we can keep for a term of years. .„ In two weeks we
go to Beirut to the General Meeting, and on our re
turn we go to Hums, accompanied 'by Yanni and
Hiss Temple, so that we Audi be absent from home
about a month. I find it very difficult to find a good
house. The most of the houses are dark and damp,
and full of vermin, and the people : are now raising
the rent of their houses en enormously that I dO not
see how i ,can get along very well without paying one
hundred and twenty dollars a year, and pay all in at'
ranee for five years. If Ido so, the. Mission Will ad
vance me the money, and I 'pay it beck in annual

disappointed us, and we feel relieved to have him
out of th'e house. 'Ynkobe, the Armenian young mari

but only one suits'us.
Turrtsnar, March 17.—Another balmy pleasant
day. Our Arabic prayer meeting last evening Was
pleasant, but Lorenzo was nut able to attend on as :
count of a severe headache. He enders very 'much
at times. I have finished my lecture on Geology
for Beinit A Moslem Effendi called to-day to see
mc, in return for a call which I made upon him a
few days since. The English meeting was here this
evening, and we read extracts from Rent? Martyr's
Memoirs.
FRIDAY, March 18.—To-day I hare conchided the
bargain for a house for firejenrs from October Ist.
185 n. The house ia .entirely new, i has not an old
roan or nook in it. It is dry, clean white, in a good
situation, and the most ceinvenientliouse I hare seen
in Tripoli. It is ahoht half way from M. Lyons's
house to Yannre, and only a little . ways from the
Chapel.. The sitting room, dining room, bedroom,
kitchen, and store room are all on the same floor, an
arrangement which will be much better-for C.'s
health than the house which we now occupy. My
study and two spo s ie rooms will be on the floor aboye,'
up a fliglit of stairs. The rent is large, Three thous
and piatures, or one hundred and twenty dollars a
year, but'tto house can be obtained now in Tripoli
for any less than that price, and This house Is the'
most desirable one I know of. The three upper
rooms are not yet built, but are to be made at ones.
and will have time to get dry before October. Yen

Sieved us of much care. The
_landlord was once un
der American protection, and it was on his account
that all the trouble was made last sumSer. The
lime which was brought, and on account of which the
kawass was struck by Effendi Sandrusy, belonged to
Mictihel it TrQtnb, our landlord. He is a polite, ac
commodating man, and promises to fix up the house
in admirable style.' This gives us two spare rooms,
one of which is for clam. while he is stitying with us.
to learn the language previous to entering upon his
station as a Syrian Missionary. nun/I:says that it is
•
a cheap house at three-thousand piastres.
On the first . of Jtily the owner gives us permission
to remove all of our things to the house, and on the
first of October we are to hare fill! possession. Front
this time onwards for five years I expect to h%vc no i
'more trouble with fumes.
' Title afternoon I was calling at Yanni's VS see
about the house, and I met a Moslem Sheikh named
Sheikh Ealleeny. He is Governor of Kolaat it Ifoor.
son, an ancient Castle of great strength, about halt
way to Hums. He repeated the invitation. given.
some time since to us, to visit him during our jour
ney to Hums. Shortly after my return home, he
called, accompanied by an old Jew, his Secretary,
and an armed Kawass. After the- usual salutations,
and listening to the music, ritc., he drew his chair up
to me, and after declaring how much he esteemed
me and how much I might &vor him, he ask
ed my aid in securing for him the npPointment of
Governor of the Hasson - district. He said that the
office had been held by his famtily for several centur
ies Wu) about fire years ago, when a Turk was
made Governor. The Turk has now gone away, and
he applies for the office. He ihowed.me a great
firman of the Sultan given to the family years ago,
and,lettere from all the leading men of all the various
religious sects in . all the 'district, and promises_ to
bring letters from Sheikh Reschid and from the Gov
ernor, of Tripoli and all the:Effendi+. I told him that
I was only a Missionary, and Could not be expected
to meddle with political matters; as my office is simp
ly religious. He said he understood that, but still,:
he knew that Missionaries were always Conscientious
' and honest men, and hence anything they might say
to • Consul would lairs weight. He said that
wound assure us of perfect security in traveling in
his district, arid perfect protection In preaching the
Gospel.. He asked-me to forward his letters and doe.;
uments to the Consul, requesting him to forward
them to the Pasha or to the Sublime Porte at Stain
boul. I liked his manner , and tone very much ; and.
promised to do all in my power to aid him. It is
very important for the peace of the. country that the
-local Governed' should be Winn of the country.—
' This. man belongs to one of the most respectable
Moslem families in northern Syria, and is recommend
ed by all the letulink Greek !nuke, ptiests, old Mu
tem Sheiks of the district. YAM; knriria 14m well,
and has confidence in him, and promises to aid him.
Ternary conversation with him brought out some
facts very hornier to ns in this land, but which may
be new to you. Said Tenni to him, "If ion send
thhireatter to the Puha, he knows that yon are im
mensely wealthy, and be will wish to eat a litde from
your pocket. This taking of bribes is it great shame
and &cue, and I cannot consent to bra:*ty to
any bruinessin which it Is puttied; and • if. you do
anything of the 'kW it mull be through oilier means
than through me."' Molten, replied, " Ton need not
give yontselkany trouble - on this point. •M the
Pesti is hungry, I will find means' suit,* to feed
Monad he wants no more." -

five years, all in advance, and borrow It from the

The Bishop's funeral was attended this miming, and
we had intended to attend, but we irere toldit would
be the third hour of the day, or 9 o'clock, and just
as I was going out, the procession, or rather crowd,.
was coming away, as the funeral eras at the second

Consuls, katrasses., fellaheen, and Greeks of the city,
all crowding and jamming togethe • though the nor

as all were anxious to get the sanctifying influence

one poor„deaf

Annual Meeting. The brethren seem to feel more
than ever the need of the Spirit, and the meeting
this evening was very solemn and interesting. Do
pray for us much. The Lord cannot be very far
