M. de Lamartine's " Pilgrimage to the Holy Land"
will be published immediately. This enthusiastic traveller
and poet explored, in the true spirit of a Christian pilgrim,
every part of the hallowed spots of Palestine. He traversed
the Valley of Jehoshaphat, ascended the Mount of Olives,
wandered by the shore. of the Dead Sea, and on the awful
plain where stood the doomed cities ; he lingered in the sacred
garden of Gethsemane, and visited the spot where our Saviour
wept over Jerusalem. Of these and many other holy localities
the eloquent author has recorded his impressions, and given to
his contemporaries a work which will often be recurred to by
the reader of the Inspired Writings.
MAY MORNING.—An ancient author, describing
May-day, says at the time he wrote, at the beginning of the
month of May, " The citizens of London (of all estates)
lightly in every parish, or sometimes two or three parishes
joyning together, had their several Mayings, and did fetch in
May-poles, with divers warlike shelves, with good archers,
morrice dancers, and other devices, for pastime all the day
long, and towards the evening they had stage plaies and bon-
fires in the streets. Of these Mayings we read in the reign of
Henry the Sixth that the Aldermen and Sheriffes of London
being on May-day at the Bishop of London's wood, in the
parish of Stubenheath, and having there a worshipfull dinner
for themselves and other commers, Lydgate, the poet, who
was a monk at Bury, sent to them by a pursuivant a joyful
commendation of the season, containing sixteen staves in meeter
royal."
In the village of Thwayte, near Aylshain, a poor
cottager's wife, of the name of Bustens, was delivered on
Sunday, the sth April, of a boy, and on Monday, eighteen
hours after the first, she was delivered afterwards of a boy, and
then a girl. The three children are all living, and likely to
do well.
