the rooms are .pleasingly vaulted. In
|no one thing are the accounts Of travel
lers SO discrepent as to the modern
town. Some writer's draw Of it peer
less picture, and others paint it in most
gloomy colors. Some perhaps have
been there in the rainy, others in the
bright seasons-as in most cases the
truth seems to be about half way be-
tween the two extremes. 1t is neither
$50 good or SO bad as it has been drawn,
but it is a very respectable town, far
better than most others in the East.
The modern town does not cover the
whole site Of the ancient one. Mount
Zion itself, on the South side, is with
out the present wall. On the North,
or more directly on the west side Of the
city, the old limit must have been a
mile beyond the present one. The
whole ground is eavernous with ancient
cisterns-themselves probably more re-
cent than those Of the town taken by
the Roman Legions. Excepting on
part of the Northwest side, the limits
Of the ancient city are we'll defined,
The mountains are still "rounds about
Jerusalem" and the features Of the
scenery are all bold and grand. On three
sides, the precipitous sleeps of the val
leys impose boundaries beyond which
no building could ever have passed.
1t is said, and is doubtless true, that the
wall supporting Solomon's temple, on
the side of the Valley of Jehosiphat,
was 450 feet high.-On the west, or
naturally the weakest side the tenth
Roman Legion was encamped.-The
present walls are we'll built and battle.
mented, but they have neither bitches,
counterscap walls, nor other exterior
defences. They are modern, but wor-
thy to belong to an age when gun-pow-
der was unknown, for they cannot stand
two days against preaching batteries.
The town has now a garrison of about
1900 lubbeny Turkish soldiers, and
could be taken by escalade in ten min.

son could offer. e
The environs of Jerusalem are very
striking. They form one vast necro-
|polis-the very rock being perforated
in all directions with tombs, which be.
gin near the bottom of the valley Of
Jehosiphat, Kedren, Gihon and Hinnon.
These valleys, together with the West
ern wall, form circuit of about two
miles and half-the whole circum.
ference of the ancient town being, ac>
cording to Josephus, rather more than
four miles.

WE ARE GROWING OLD.

We are growing old; how the thought will rise,
When glance is backward cast
On some long remembered spot. that lies
lh silence Of the past:
1t may be the shrine of our early vows,
Or the tomb of early tears;
But il seems like far off isle to us,
:. In the stormy sea of years.
Oh wide and wild arethe waves that part
Our steps from greenness now, 1Na.
And we miss the joy of many heart,
And the light ofmany brow;
For deep Ger many stately bark
Have the whelming bellows rolled,
That steered with us from that early mark
Oh, friends, we are growing old!
Old in the dimness and the dust
Ofour daily tolls and cares,
Old in the wrecks of love and trust
Which our burdened memory bears;
Each form may wear to the passing gaze
The bloom of life's freshness yet,
And beams may brighten our latter days,
Which the morning never met.
nut oh, the changes we have seen, @
4 In the far winding way;
The graves in our path which have grown
green, le.sa
And the locks that have grown grey!
The winters still on our way may spare
The sable or the gold, se
But we saw their SHOWS upon bright hair,
And, friends, we are growing old.
We have gained the worlds cold wisdom
now,
Wehave learned to pause and fear,
Bat where are the living founts, whose flow
Was Joy of heart to hear?
We,have won the wealth Of many cline,
The lore of nsany page, @
But where is the hope that saw in time
But its boundless heritage7
Will it come again when the violet wakes,
And the woods their youth renew1
We have stood in the light of sunny brakes,
Where the bloom is deep and blue.
And our soul might joy in the spring time
then,
But the joy was faint and cold,
For it ne'er could give US the youth again,
Ofhearts that are growing old.

LETTER TO THE BOSTON ASSOCIATION OF
CONGREGATIONAL MINISTER'S, touching certain
Matters of their Theology. BY THEODORE PARKER,
Minister of the Second Church In Ro%bury. Boston
Charles c. Little and James Brown, 1855.
THE EXCLUSIVE PRINCIPLE CONSIDERED. Two
Sermons on Christian Union and the Truth Of The
GOSPELS. BY W. H. FURNEss. Pastor OF the First Unit
srian congregational Church in Philadelphia. Boston:
B. II. Greene, 1915.
In the first of these documents Mr. Parker, in a
simple explicit and ineligible manner, states The
question at issue between him and his associates,
and makes an appeal to their honor and sincerity
which can hardly fail of eliciting manly and ex-
plicit reply.
The tone of the letter is generally dignitied, but
we could wish that one or two slight touches
OF satire had been forborne, WHICH, though not sur
prising from the natural man under the circur1
stances, are yet unworthy an occasion which ought
TO be met in the highest spirit, with meekness
such as Moses had-thc meekness of the strong.
This pamphlet should be read by all who have
taken any interest in the affair.
MIR. Purness takes up this subject with wisdom
and vision uncouded 6y fear. He sees that the
truly liberal must be liberal to all who sincerely act
upon their convictions, not only when they believe
in more particulars Of theology than ourselves, but
when they believe in fewer He takes the occa-
sion to express his dissent from whatever is peculiar
in Mr.. Parker's views, but with genuine candor,
and in fraternal temper. *

THE BRAcELEfs or QUEEN VIcroRrA-On iesl!-
walls and gala.days the delicate arm of the Queen
Of England will be seen adorned with bracelet
that may well be considered as one of the most
significant mementos that tie radiant partakers Of
royal enjoyments and princely splendor can behold
This bDou' of the most tasty finish is made of the
purest gold and enlightened by four of the rarest
diamonds, which seem TO dispute each others
beauty and deicacy. But their they
derive from the owners in whose possession they
were in other times.
The larges, OF these diamonds belonged to the
Princess Charlotte augusta of Wales, who will
ever be remembered by the British People for her
womanly virtues and amiable qualities. The sec
ond and third of these gems once belonged TO the
unfortunate Queen Nuie Antoinette Of France.
The fourth and most splendid of the whole shone
at one time from the white and maestical forehead
of believed prncely head, that shared similar mis-
fortunes with the formcr-it was the property Of
Mary Stuart, Queen of the Scotch; and then 10
King whose power ended with the fall of his royal
brother: Joseph Napoleon. One may well question
whether ever a woinan's arm was encircled by a
ring so potent Of emblems so grave, and souvenirs
so full OF meaning

Frederick Won Raumer upon the Slavery
Question.

Won Raumer has lately read before the " Scien-
tifc Union " in Berlin some account of his visit TO
North America and Of Slavery in the United States
He confined himself principally TO statement of
arguments by the Anti-AboIiiionists for the con-
tinuancc Of slavery in the Southern States, among
which he dwelt particularly on the position of the
Negro as being in regard TO the moral and political
Idea the Free States preferable 10 that OF our Ia
borers and operatives in manufactures. The
lecturer seemed not disinclined to coincide with
this view, though he spoke with decision only
of the difficulties OF emancipation so as not
to invade the rights Of property or place The
Negro in a worse position than at preseut. The.
lecture was certainly in an anti-abohon spirit,
so as to cause much distase 10 the women present,
and to all those who believe no improvement I'M
possible which the human soul is bent with ear
