DES0LATION OF JUDEi-FULFILMENT OF
PROPHECY,

As travelled from Jaffa to Jerusalem over some
as fine soil as could be found any where, did not
see as much as one single blade Of grass, though
looked for it as one would search for diamond
This 10 me seemed very strange, for knew that
in England grass will grow where nothing else
will; but here, neither among the fine sIubbe
fields, not even along the roadside, where no pillow
comes, was there to be found so much az what
might with strict propriety he called blade of
grass. This is something very astonishing. Not
having ever seen this taken notice of in any book
OF travels that have read, cannot help thinking
that surely must be the first English Farmer who
has paid visit to this land. Upon my arrival in
Jerusalem, and percelving that all the milk that
was brought into the city in one day, for about
tweniy-four thousand Inhabitants, did not exceed
ten or twelve quarts and that even that small
quantity was only goats milk well watered and
when ] could find no honey, but small piece
which had the pleasure of tasting while taking
tea with the bishops chaplain, could not but ex-
claim to myself, how completely have God g judy
ments been executed on this devoted land And
most clearly did perceive that the natural cause
of all this evil was the absence of seasonable rain
Rain, which waters the earth and blesses it with
fertility, God has withheld, and thus brought all
these evils, and many more which | need not stay
now to enumerate, upon the land which once
"fowed with milk and honey. "-Lo,ctItian's Je-

TO WOMAN.

Smile not when he bows before thee down,
Aud pleads with earnest word and prayer
But mock him with a sneer or frown,
As though thou scorn'st at his despair;
For if thou smile upon his vows,
And ope to him thy gentle heart,
The hypocritc will turn away
And with secret snccr. depart
No!-rather let thy fond heart break,
Than give its richness, TO be torn
BY ruthless hands Of ficklcncss,
And cast upon the breath of scorn
Man prizes not what may be won
BY one kind glance of rowing eyes;
The heavier the task and toll,
The more the treasure he will prize.

HOPE AND SLEEP.

To smooth life's short but rugged way,
Two aged guides are given
Bright Hope to cheer us on BY day
Calm Sleep, to whisper, when We stay,
AT ev'ning, airs Of Heaven.
When mists almost obstruct our view,
And Troubles storms arc loud,
Hope points to sunshine, Pccping through
On some far prospect, fair and new,
Which care may never cloud.
And when Hopes mission hath its close,
And Terror comes with night,
Sleep soothes our passions 10 rcposc.
Rcprovcs our fears, rcpcls our foes,
And brings US back to light.

with three wives, brought with him from Turkey,
and three several classes of children, died lately in
New York, without will. Each of the three
wives has applied to the Surrogate for letters OF
administration. This case is a puzzlcr to the
Judge of Probates. He thinks he cannot grant let
tiers to all the wives and that the one first married
has the preference. BY the law ofTurkey, where
the marriages were celebrated, all the wives man
may have, no matter how many, are held equal,
having the same rights of property. The fear is,
and the counse for the ladies represent the law
that the granting ofleters TO either wife and the
exclusion Of the Others would in effect declare the
excluded ones concubines; and make their children
ilegitimate. The Surrogate has taken the case
