I kept ituptill I like to have got into a mesa about Patience.— The critter thought I was goin' nrler her for good. and got as proud as a tame tur. kev. ‘ One day Epfie came down to our place |nokin’ as ralhy as n milishn officer on a xrninin’ (lav. ‘Lnnk h-ere.’ say; he.

A few Weeks in Palestine. JERUSALEM. April 191 b, 1848. After a Sabbath of delightful rest in Je~ ruaulom came the excursion to the Jordan and Dead Sea. Which has occupied the' last three days. It was an excursion an. ticipated with more than usual interest. and i had expected to make it alone, But the week of the old Jewish Passover. the Christain Easter, the week which even Mohammedans. as I found. make‘a festi~ val in honor of Moses, had now come; and Monday morning was tho time when. at tended by 400 Forkish soldiers and by the Governor of Jerusalem himself. the Christian pilgrims. from 5000 to 8000 in number, were to go down lo the Jordan for the annual bath. Willing or not,i was compelled to join the immense throng. and to be joslled and crowded, & to have my horse held back by Turkish soldiers as the multitude passed slowly through ,the narrow mountain passes. And such a gathering surely nothing on earth ever could equal. Here were people of all nations of Eu rope. Asia and Africa; Gupta and Arabs ol Egypt, Armenians, and Maronites. and Druses, and Albanians and Georgians, & what more i know not from Asia. and Greeks, and Germans, and Russians. and Italians, and French. and English, &c.. from Europe. and last of all some two or three Americans. Then :here were old men anti old women. and youths. and losses, and ~qualliug infants—a rare col. lectroo. I noticed vrhat is often observed at asaocrations in our Country. thstby far the majority of all the throng were wo men; a peculiarity which charity would suggest originates from woman’s more she ceptible religious sensibility ; but which some have perhaps too churlishly attrihu ted to the female weakness. as it I! called, of curiosity. if. however. it be the lat ter, it would seem to be a weakness. which the lords of creation are well pleased with and food of gratifying; for‘ even here. where gallantry tow‘ard the lair is not gen erally supposed to have reached at any rate, a Quixotic pitch, even here the lords were generally on foot, submissively lead ing the donkeys. and mules. and-camels. while perched aloft. astride on the heaps of luggage. rode in majesty the ladies. One word employed in this last sentence may shock some ears; and yet it is nec essary to a true picture of the customs of the country. For in this land. where-the graceful Turkish costume prevails. the ln dics do literally. and most becomingly too. wear the pantaloons. and that pos ture of riding which we can think of as appropriate only for men. in these Eas tern lands of little donkies and of narrow streets and rough mountains, is among fe males at once universal and appropriate. and indeedabsolutely necessaryto safety. 'locvard eve a party consisting princi pally of English gentlemen. was formed to lake is walk-to the fountain of Elijah. Coming to the edge of the campground. we lound a line of sentinela placed around. and attempting to pass, were stopped and beckoned on. Proceeding in the direc tion pointed, we were still beckoned on from soldier to soldier. till we came to a ruffianly fellow. who instead of beckoning us on. began to shout at us in 'iurkiah, 81 to throw himself intoa defying attitude.- In company with a young English gentle man.l happened to he in front, and as we kept on. not noticing the soldier. he came suddenly up and pushed rudelyagarnst my companion. who unwisely, thn’ natur ally. grappled with the fellow. Presently the 'l‘urlt. getting his right hand free. be gan‘whippiug the gentleman over the head with a thick cowhide riding stick. Upon this a second English gentleman stepped up to interlere and he was laid hold of & served in the same manner. Finally a third gentleman interfered. a young man who hade gun hanging over his hack—— and, he .grappling.'l saw soon .3 struggle for the gun. ‘ .’ ' 4 At this juncture. however. an officer came, up amt the contentmenned. Imma diately. however. a company nfsoldieto who had run uprfell upon four inoflehsivu Arabs‘ofthe tribe‘zdwellin‘g here. whom we,hnd- taken as guides. and who hmllbeen mete spectators at the affair, and with clubs beat them untnet'cilully. breaking the gun pt onevund the arm of another; & than atrippiug‘thetn..'were hurrying than: pfi'lto,,ittllicl,,the bastinhdn. fl‘he.wholt; party of aeutletnan..htmevor, {with n druy ‘aoman‘ who, spoke ~Turkuh, want to the governum and .ufteraomet time andrepuat ,qd_eflurt succeeded to getting the decision reversal}; A purue man made up tor the wounded.

That eve the eheikh of the village had finally come out to re monutrate with my men; and us I ulter wnrd learned. they had told him that they had taken the grant: for the “ hawngeh Frannee”-—the English gentleman; and immediately on hearing this. the sheikh had gone away satisfied—another marklul the genuine hospitality nf the native peo ple. It I had understood it, however. at the time. the raecals would have been ex posed, This was the first specimen of 'l‘urk-iph tipprenion; and every day after I felt more and more that l was under a government tar dtllerent from that of E EIPL . . _ The excursion to the fountain of Elisha was lor that night broken up; but a lew of our party lotmed an arrangement with the sheikh of the tribe dwelling in this plain. and among the mountains, in take us. alter the scene ot the bathing. Which was to take place at annrise next morning. first to the Dead Sea, and then back thrn’ the plain South of us to the camp. 8!. then from the ramp through the North of the plain to Jerico. the tountain ot' Elirlm. Kurmtul &c. ' About 1 o’clock in the morning the whole camp was awake. and soon was on the move lor the Jordan; tor though the river was only 2 miles oti. it was thought necessary to start thus early. the Compa ny was so large. It was tedious business to be in your saddle so early, to move on perhaps five minutes. and then be obliged to remain motionless for hall an hour ; 82 yet in that motley group there was enough to interest you. A: length da‘y dawned ; and as the light increased the throng mo ved on taster, and finally. befot‘e the sun appeared. we were at the river. And such a scene language cannot piciure.— Hundreds of men and women, blooming youth and the decrepid with age. allin one confused company. were in the stream. some with strong sinews launching out into the strong current and swimming to the opposite shore, while deerepid old men and women. and timid maidens." waded a short'dialance into the current; and their friends dipped the water and poured it protuaely over their‘ heads. Yet amid this strange secne. there were preserved a greater order and perfect decency than one would suppose possible;, each person wearing a becoming bathing dress. and the thick groves and almost impenetrable underbrush of the bank furnishing per fectly retired and ample dressing rooms, l I watched the scene long, observing the lapparent sincerity of the bathers. impres ised With the fact that men will make any sacrifice to gain for themsel‘ves a happy hereafter, and yet oppressed with the con viction that lew or that vast multitude probably understood the truth. that it is "the pure'in heart alone‘ that shall see God"—-that Christ ‘saved us by the wash ing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Ghnst.’ Proceeding along up the thickly lined bank nl the river. I api ed two ship‘s boats lying under the oppo site bank. with Yankee tars to them. sent ed at their posts. coolly looking at the mighty swarm that had come down upon them. I knew at once that they were connected with the exploring party; and hailing them and asking for the ollicers, was answered in the same cool manner. by a simple point of the finger tOWatd the shorejust above me. 4 ' Proceeding in the directinn'indicated. twn'platn and comparatively small tents appeared rising lrom the thick reeds ; add suon' I’was seated like a boon companion; in camp and Oriental siyle,nn‘ the ground, and in u mingled circle of Americanulli cent and Arab sheikhs. I could delay but a lew moments. lor our pat ty was wait. in: to proceed to the Dead Sea‘: An hour and a half. perhaps. brought us thither.— I could tint rest-t the temptation to bathe. despite my lameness.
