sunlight of Es.tern morn rose Jerusa

Her towers, her domes, her pinnacles, her
walls,
Her glittering p daces, her splendid halls,
Showed in the lustreous air like s bright
dream,
Wove by gay fancy frcm the morning beam.
Jerusalem ! What hallowed associa
tions rush upon tl►e mind at that name !
Once, Queen of the East, and mistress of
the world, unsurpassed in importance, and
unrivalled in splendor ; the home and
pride ofJudea's suns. Now, the jackall
howls where her kings reigned, ar4l, the
crumbled marble, once marked where iter
warriors slept, now mingles w tl► the whir.
ling sands of Arabia.
Roll back the tide of time ! Retrace
the scroll of history to that epoch when
Europe sent forth her noblest and her best
to battle with the Saracen, to rescue the
sepulchre of their redeemer flout defile.
n►ent and disgrace.
Under the city walls were encamped
the Army of the Cross. Companions in
timer wars and victors in form, r battles,
they hail come determined to accomplish
their errand or die in the attempt. They
were the flower and boast of Europe's
chivalry. Steel hauberk and coat of
mail gleamed in the sunbeams, and the
training's rode of defiance rang on the
1111 l rning air, with the taunting clash of the
Turkish its min!. That Pennon which
had flowed o'er the head of its gallant
Lord amid fio•nter conflicts of his house,
now danced gaily on the Asiatic breeze,
it was not there to be dishonored ; the
cherished relic of past splendor, its fair
blazonry was not there to be stained or
sullied.
Hilo would blame the enthusiasm
which hail thus led them forth to battle
Who can censure that piety which gave
s t re n g th and sinew to their arms in the
battle's shock and was their last solace iii
the hour of danger and of death 7 Yet ,
there are those who tall the age of chiv
airy an age of Gtllt ; who denounce the
Crusades, but as an act of madness. Mad
nest; and folly they may have been; unjuat
they certainly were, but who ails, had lie
lived in that day, would not have also
hound the sacred emblen► to his shoulder,
and followed the crusading host to the
Doty Land 7 The enthusiasm of the her
mit Amiens, the oratory of St. Bernard,
and con►ntanding talents of Fauilt, had
successively been •t.ed to spur them on to
action; the commands of the papal pre
late were imperative. Were not these
enough to impel them to aluo►st any (Iced ,

palaces a Moselm stood in defiance, and
reigned withot►t rebuke ! Were they
knighs, and could they bra dc it 7 Draw•
ins; the avenging steel, they swore never
again to sheathe it, till their object was
accomplished, or till the last drop of their
life's 'stood had reused to circulate round
those hearts which beat only for their• hon
or and their God.
But why seek to excuse the Crusades
by the motives which led to them ! It is
their consequences that give them impor
tance in history ; and furnish ample apolo
gy fin• all their'follies, if not for all their
clam es.—A pology !
"Sleep Richard of the Lion heart,
Sleep ui► nor tram they cement start, "
At the wrong done thy memory a .d thy name
Out the age of chivalry had passed like a
bright vision of the mor❑ing.
If we contemplate for a moment the
dreary picture which the civilized world
presented in the age of the Crusades, and
cont i nue it with the succeeding, we must
allow that the political advantages resul
ting from them were such as E , ,rope will
never cease to feel as long as her hills shall
stand or her name be Litwin.
'Porn by hard ine feuds. the Western
world was at that tune the scene of the
most bloody and atrocious wars that ever
disfigured the page of history. The or
der and beauty of , the social compact,
like that of the ocean, lashed to fury by
the rushing tempe,t, wan lost in the wild
vortex of raging passion and unbi idled li•
centiousness. Law and ri„ght were neith
er respected nor obeyed. The sword
was the only passport to greatness. and
opened the only path to fortune and hon
or. Human life was only held as the sport
of any petty tyrant who chose to take is,
and the frequent death cry of the murder
ed rolled wildly up to an offended God.
Then came the Crusaders. Glory, ins
mortality, religion, all pointed with im
ploring fingers to the scene of a Saviour's
sufferings and death. Fain.? called upon
'itYr .titaries to battle to the death nil!,
l'rynini hosts; ReF.gi in called upon her',
N i wipe forever from the escutcheon of the
liristion world, the deep disgrace of al.
'owing an ihilielieving race to defile the
hind they loved, the s..pulchre they ado
pt!. Then warring tuitions dropped their
•words, and lave answer tti the cry of
vengeance. hey came the noble and
he proud, the young and the old, rally
ing tot/till the crimson standard. Unity
if sentiment and community of interest
'cave ever given birth to mutual' kindness. .'
Ind
All those courtesies that love to shoot,
Wand virtue's steps, the flowerets of her
fruit.'
So was it there; and E•troix, purified and
•-alligh.ened front this and other causes
flowing ft 't, awoke from the lethargy
which had so !wiz bound her, and advan
ced rapidly towards civilization and re
finement which now enables di adorns her.
The effects of the. Crusades upon lit
era'ure though not immediate, were no
less salutary. Philosophers have moral
,zed, scholars have wept over the depbr•
table, the degrading ignorance of the tenth
and el.'venth centuries. Science slept; a
death-like lethargy hail come over her,
which, like the sultry blast of an Easton
noon, hail palsied all her efforts and with
drow all her energies. The spirit of po•
etry had long since fled, She seemed
forever to have forsaken those hautto; she
once loved so well till the Troubadours,
catching up the lyre, then scattered by
Titoe's ramie..v hand, struck from its long
mute strings those strains which roused
naioni to MIMI and a world to madness.
Never was music more magically eloquent
,The lyre which thrilled beneath a
mer's touch, or the lapses of the cygnet
sohg might IhAve been sweeter; they mild

Lyer the land and echoed through her old
baroniel halls.
Then commenced the restoration of let

of a Bocacia, a Pelmet' and a Dante,
Song.again revived, and from the blush•
ing vine-hills of Fiance, from the castled
crags of Scotland, from the wild glens of
Switzerland, and the lowly Vegas of rti
mantic Spain, again ascended the poet's
breathing, free as their mountain air. The
very Crusades themselves; by furnishing
the materials from which to weave the
gorgeous fictions of the imagina.ions and
by making the Crusaders acquainted with
all the glowmgs of imaginary and fanci
ful decoration of oriental literature, gave
'an impulse to letters aimich will never
cease to be fait , till man shall cease to
appreciate and admire the beautiful and
the sublime. Can it be, then, that the .
Crusades retarded the progress or litera

on her alter had nearly expired in sad
ness and in gloom
Such were the holy wars, thnir causes

It was sunset. The rich mellow light

Even the stern sentinel pacing his loan

and stood to gaze upon the sue prising

-1 taut Godlii, as he bent tti kiss the touch

tear of !hill:: led gratitude, penitence and
veneration, and to lift his hands in inebtal
adoration, to the Being who is ever the
same, whether amid the burning sands of
Syria, or the icy region of the Pole. Thus
did heroes conquer. Thus should the
Crusaders. Bliane not hastily their mis•
directed zeal. ('ensure not their holy en
thusiasm. Profain not with sacriligious
touch the mass grown tombs where their
ashes sleep. Their faults were the faults of.
their age-*--their virtues all their unit.
r A WARNING TO BUCKS. The Portland
Argus chronicles the following awkward
accident, which happened in that city, 'A
man in one of our churches had on a new
pair of pants so tight that he could'ett sit
down. And this wus'nt the worst of it; as
:le was going lime, one of his straps broke
suddenly, and with a shock which urset
aim into the gutter, to the great horror of
the bystanders, who had to cut his other
strap before they could make him stand
erect.'

AN ODD CitiCUAIS LANCE.
During our struggle for independence,
a queer trassactioo occurred at a tavern
not many miles from Germantown, be
tween an American and a British soldier.
It was on the day prior to the battle of
Germantown, yet fresh in the recollection
of many of oar citizens, that a weary Ira
, yeller, with a duck gun ul a large bore
resting oil his shoulderi demanded a
night's lodging at a public house on the
high road; tits bare feet, hat, and
torn clothing, certainty left no good
pression on the mind of the tavern keep
er, as to the likolihood of his ever being
paid for his meals or lodging; but “mine
host" being a true AllltTledll at heart, and
recognizing the traveller at mice to be a
"provincial," ii terally txtended to him
the comforts of his house awl hone. The
soldier being weary, retired to bed shortly
after his arrival. About an hour alter,
the trampling of the feet of a horse was
heard in front of the tavern; and before
the Int-keeper could open the dour, the
heavy tread of a man •vas heard on the
of the house. The *varlet coat and
rich epaulets of the new comer at once
convinced the "Major Doino'' that he was
an English officer. Ile entered tle bar
room, unloosed his sword belt, and im
peratively called for supper and a bed.—
Here was a dilemma; there was but the
one bed—a double bed the way—in the
10tu5..., and it was occupied by the Ameri
cad private. 'the landlord at Imgth hes.
itatingly declared, that unless he would
condescend to sleep with a iellow travel
ler he could Obtain no lodgings. It being
several miles to the next public house, and
. already late at night, the offi..er finally
accepted the proposal and %vas ushered by
the light of a limning pine knot to Ins dm ,
mitorv. The night passed tranquilly
away, if the lusty snoring of both travel
lers ue excepted. In the morning our
provincial private was the first one to.
awake. 11. looked apparently with much
surprise, ut the British Alert., oho lay
quietly breathing with his mouth open, as
it to catch flies. He lien examined his
tattered chili, pinched himself in the legs
and arms, and then muttered "Strange!
(1 ,,, 41 strange!" Finally, de pinched Ate
officer's nose, who jumped up evidently
terrified.
"Who are you?" demanded our pro ,
vincial.
"I'm a Soldier," was the reply.
"%.% hat's vow. namt?"
"Jacob Eilworth."
"You're a liar; that's my flame; I'm
Jake Ellwurth."
No, you're not; that's me," answer
ed the officer, who by this time had reco
vered his courage,
"What ! dy'e'want to tell me that you
are Jake El!worth when I'm Jake himself?
You cah't throw sawdust in this child's
*yes no how you can fix it"— pottin, his
thumb to his nose and shaking his fist at
the provincial.
This movement roused the ire of the
Yankee to such a degr ee, that with his
clenched fist he struck the Bri.on a blow
on the face, and levelled him on the bed;
a noise ensued, and but a tew minutes
elapsed ere the landlord oith his attend.
ants arrived at the do ti; each of the cum
, batants appea led in Into to decide who was
!the teal '..l.tke Ellwotth," and which was I
the man who had come to bed last. The I
landlord surveyed them each in their I
I twit, bnt their laces, their swe, and the!
color of their hair resembled each other
sit touch, that he declared at length he was
unable to distinguish one from the Other.
At this moment the hostler arrived at the
door with the intelligence that a party tit
English soldiers could be sera some dig.
ranee ofr. marching in the direction of the
tavern. The officer laughed and the Yan
kee looked aghast, but suddenly reeollec
ling himself, he seized the Englishman's ,
uniform, ran out of the room and ordered
the hostler to saddle his horse. In the
yard of the tavern he completed his dress,
mounted the officer's steed and boldly
meeting the detachment 1 , 1 English sol
diers, ordered them to take a relic I,
whims he had made prisoner at the next
tavern, to the camp. The manelv , e sue•
ceeded, and the Yankee escaped to the
American camp. The Engloh officer in
the mean time was arrested by his own
men, but whether the mistake was ever
discovered--"this deponent saute not."
