he was a clever teller. but he was dredlul

net my eyes on her till alter meetin’; she
had a leller with her who had a blamin’ red

ahe had a lace on long as a thanksgivin’

tience about a spell. Kept my eye’on
Nance. seed how the cat waajumpin’; she
didn’t cut about like she did, and looked
rather nolemly; she’d gio her tew eyes to
kiss and make up. 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.

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

to see such treatment of Europeans.

and every one ol the. passer: was compell-
Ed to yield a portion of the load. 1 ex
pressed my dieapprohation. however. so
decidedly. that they (Ild not repent the
flame another night. 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

Proceeding in the directinn'indicated.
