arsted the Newt from the Holy . Land- 7
the home of the old Faith from that of the
new. We had followed.the track of Mo.
sea from the spot where his mother
placed the bulrush cradle to that on which
he died ; for• to the East we should this
morning see the mountains overhanging
the Dead Sea ; and among them the sum
mit of Nebo, whence he looked abroad o
ver the Land of Promise; and now we
were to enter upon the country of Jesus—
certain to walk in His very footsteps, and
see what He saw—perhaps this very day.
I never remember feeling such an interest
in every wild flower, in the outlines of all
the hills, and the track of all the water
courses.
We had left the stony desert behind us,
and were encamped in a nook of the hills,
where the ground was green. and weeds
grew thick. There wan grass under my
bed in the tent: and when I came out this
morning, the dew was heavy on the daises
and butter-cups and flouring mallows
which grew abundantly on the turf. Af
ter breakfast, while the camels were load
ing, I walked in the early sunshine on a
strip of sand overlooking the valley, im
pressing on my memory every feature of
the landscape, and impatient of the rising
ground to the north, which prevented my
seeing which way we were going. . It was
about ten o'clock when wtpassed the boun
dary. It was impossible to tell the exact
moment; but in a mile or two we felt that
we were, indeed, - in - the native - lead of
Christ, and probably on His very track.
lie might have been here. His relations
lived at Hebron; and duringthe first thir
ty years of His life, lie had probably
ted them, after meeting them at the feasts
of Jakusallrm. He might have walked
over the hills' which swelled higher and
higher as we advanced. and rested beside
some of the wells which yawned beside
our track. At any rate, the trees and flow
ers which we saw must have been familiar
to His eyes ; the thorny acacia which be
gan here to rise and spread from the stunt
ed shrub of the desert to the dimensions of
a tree ; the scarlet anemone—with us a
precious garden flower—which here strew.
ed the ground for acres around the cycla
men, which pushed forth Its tufts of white
and lilac blossoms from under many a stone
and hush ; and the poppy, mallow, hem
lock and wild hedge : I did not know be
fore that these weed's 'Were as common here
with us; and never before did the sight of
them give me so much pleasure. It would
have been pleasant any where to meet
these familiar weeds, so far from home ;
but the delight to-day was to think that He
and His disciples wereas much accustom
ed to them as ourselvea, and , that , a walk
in the early spring was. in the pure coun.
try, much the same thing to them as tons.
But we soon came upon traces which
showed that the expanse of pure country
was small in those days, compared with
what it is now. The towns must have
been more thickly set here than in any
other country I ever was in, Patches and
masses of ruin showed themselves on ev
ery hand, so near each other as to indicate
that the land must have been people to a
degree nowhere known. The first plow
ing we had seen for many weeks, was a
striking sight to us, a mere scratching of
the soil at the foot of the hills ,but close by
lay a heap of building stones, the remains
of a town or village. Presently we saw a
' rude plow, with a single camel at work;
and at hand was a long foundation wall,
' laid in a far distant century. On a height
farther on were the remains of a large an
cient building, with two broken pillars
standing, marking the eight of the Amer of
Scripture. Then, though there were wa
ter-courses about every hill, wells began to
abound ;r substantial. deep wells, built with
trim with holes in it, toreettivethe covering
stone; such wells as tell of a settlement
beside them. We stopped early this day
—partly because it was Sunday, and part

[ro ■c CONTIXUE.D.I
THE HABITS AND MANNERSIOF THE
MEXICANS.
"J. E. 1)." the well-known Monterey
correspondent of the N. 0. Picayune, thus
writes about the habits and manners of the
people of the "magnanimous nation :"
The Mexican is never without his blan
ket, clinging to it with a singular and admi
rable tenacity of purpose ; they are insep
amble Vat iglA and day; . througllstmahine_
and storm, heat anir cultf;tiClings to 'his
blanket as his main-stay through . life. If
friends desert him, if his mistress prove
false, if the world frowns and looks coition
him, he can turn to his blanket and forget
all beside in the warming embrace of his
beat friend. "Charity covereth a multi
tude of sins"--so does a Mexican blanket,
fambien; it is a cover for , poverty and
I I and - a - cloak for rascality. When the
Mexican, exercising his national propensity
for appropriating to himself other people's
goods,"bags" anything,ltilaithful blanket
hides it when he pp forth on some mut.-
derouit errand with his deadly weapons in
his girdle, his blanket conceals the keen,
glittering steel ; it is his cloak by , day and
bed by night. A pair of leather breeches,
coarse cotton drawers and shirt, atilt leath
er sandals and a sombrero, completis,s the
Mexican. peasant's dress on ordinary cocoa
sions ; his hair is generally somewhat long
' iu front, tangled and shaggy, and rarely
ever any beard or whiskers are seen upon
his face. The country is infected with
vermin—the men are Silva with the most
repulsive kind, while the heads of the stra.
ineh suffer some, their kindness and assi
duity to each other notwithstanding.—
There is not a day in the-ealender that the
females do not hunt each other's heads,
and this is not confined to the lower class
es by any means. I have seen monkeys
in a menagerie perform the same opera
tion, but really the Mexican • women • stp
pear to derive quite as much satisfaction
from the operation as the monkeys. lam
not much addicted to alenderiurpeople and
this is no slander. It is the misfortune of
the country and the people that such a
course is necessary. ' •
In their'manner of living, as well as ev
ery thing else, the Mexicans are far behind
the age. Their &Wettings are all rude and
and uncomfortable, from the cane jacale on
the banks o' the Rio Grande to the rude,
rough house of adobea in the cities. In
the poorer houses you see generally one
comfortable bed, k pile of skins, a few sad;
dies and bridles, a couple of benches, sev
eral cushions of the same material as their
blanket., a crock with water, a meagre dis
play of leather breeches, and i beggarly ac
count of other wearing ap parel ; on' the
walls a few rough daubs ef !gale and rude
ornaments ; upon the gieuddfleiir It num
ber of naked children, or sometimes partly
clothed, and any quantity of rubbish.- You
very rarely see a Mexican, either man or
woman, sitting upon aehair or beach, even
when they hate'Ahem, a sort of natural
propensity inducing ; them se mast, if
maybe alkwred the use of tbe word. They
squat to eat,, to work, at .grinding core,
washing,,cookleg, and almost _ every; thing
else. A Mexican ranchero?* wife has but
little rest, for they grind stfl the corn for the
family consumption, ' They 4160 no French

principal articles of fdod being beans, corn,
tortillas; boiled beef or goat, -soda• sort; of

they rarely get, but use chocolate , instead.
They eat but little' ie the morning or It

Fate he cannot fear." It is God who sets
the limits to human life and the , bounds to

But has not O'Connell done more than
enough (Or fame I On the lofty brow of

Daniel O'Connell: -
"Re gave Liberty of Conscience to Eu
rope, and renewed the Revolution, of the
Kingdoms toward Universal Freedoni,
which had begun in America, and had
been arrested by the anarohy in France."
Let the Statesmen of the age read that
epitaph and he humble. lot the King s .
and aristocracies of the earth read- it, and
tremble.
Who has ever accomplished so much
for human freedom, with means so feebler
Who bat he has ever given liberty to a
people, by the mere utterance of his voice,
without an army, navy, or revenues—with-
out sword, spear, or even a shield?
Who bat he ever subverted tyranny, sa
ved the lives of the oppressed, and yet
spared the oppressor?
Who but he ever detached front a vener
ble constitution a column of aristocracy,
dashed it to the earth, and yet left the an.
cient fabric stronger and more beautiful
than before ?
Who but he has ever lifted up seven
millions of people from the debasement of
ages to the dignity of freedom, without ex
acting an ounce of gold or wasting the
blood of one human heart •
Whose voice yet lingers like O'Con
nell's in the ear of tyrants, making them
sink with fear of change, and in the ear of
the most degraded slaves on earth, awaken

Who before him has brought the schis
matics of two countries together, concilia

ty t Who but he ever brought Papal
Ronie and ProtestaintAiberltit to turn in

It• was O'Connell's mission to teach
mankind that liberty was not estranged
from Christianity, as was proclaimed by
Revolutionary France—that she was not
divorced from law and public order—that
she was not a demon, like Moloch, requir
ing to be propitiated by the blood of human
eacrifiee—that Democracy is the daughter
of Peace, and like true Religion worketh
by Love.'
I see in Catholic emancipation, and in
the repeal of the act of Union between
Great Britain and Ireland, only jecideuts
of an all-pervading phenomenon—a pho.
nomenon of mighty interest. but not por.
tentons of evil. It is the univenol• disso

MOW AN EDITOR WAH MADE
It has been before remarked,several times,
. we suspect, that it is strange to observe by
what slight and trifling causes the current
of human life is changed in this queer
world of ours—albeit. the best world we
ever saw—and how oddly some men are
moved from the plough to Blackstone, or
fmm the anvil to the quill. One of the
most singular illustrations of this remark
may be toned in the case of our old friend,
A,lick Bullitt, well known in this region, now
one of the editors of the Ncw Orleans l'i
*layette. We may ab well say, en paeeant,
that while the legs of Aliek carry about a
body, the size of which has entitled him to
all, privileges of an alderman of the
good City of Orleans, he has a heart at
the same liar that is quite as large as his
corporation, Ind a head stored with as
good mental food as the physical delica
cies that adorn his stomach.
