To sound to their adoring throng,
And nerei learnt below!

About her life on earth,

conut of the presedt condition of Bethle
hem.
The village of Bethlehem contains from
twelve to fifteen hundred souls—eouls
these people have—and the Christian tra
veler enters its street-ibis mostly built
on one long titreet;--with painful reflections
as he thinks of oeiog in the city of Davi'
and the native place of the Bon of God,
while the people aro wholly given to idol
atry, or sunk in superstition so gross and
sensual as 'to mike their views of the way
of life by Jesus . Christ, as dark and dan
gerous, as if the light of the Gospel had ne
ver broken in for a single moment on
their minds. A few years ago there were
sever"( families here who followed the
false prophet Mohammed, but so frequent
an fierce became the difficulties between
them and the others who bore the name
of Christian, that the Pasha took a very
munmary mode of settling tho disputes—
he drove all the Mohammedans out of the
plum, and tore down their houses. If
this arm bard, it wag a very effeetual mode
ef.iiiiiposing of a troublesome subject, and
it shows to what a depth of aubjeotion' the
iababitatim of this saoted country are re
duced. Now the Bethlehemites are aU of
them Roman Catholic, Greek and Armen•
iea Christians, living in no better harmony
of feeling with one another than they did

Ithe arm of pOwer . <from outbreaks which

They have their three convents within

of the several seats, and each claiming the
sanctity that belongs td the possession of
the holy places. In the same great enclo

In my travels in Italy and.. the East. I
have often found that the stables for the
cattle are fitted up with comfortable places
for beds. after the manner of the berths on
shipboard, and in them the men who have
the care of the horses are accustomed to
sleep. If the hotel is full of a 1143318, any

Joseph an d ?dairy should be coMpelled to

The same cause. the registry of all persons
who belonged originally in Bethlehem and
must dor resort 'here lo be taxed, or en
rolled for taxation, might have brought
others here on the' same errand, and made
the inns inadequate to furnish them bed,.
And it is not an unusual practice, oven
now, in this sante country. to use one-hall
of the house for a stable, and the other for
the family, while there is no alga of a par
