Much was originally snd much could still be
effected in the growth Of the vine and the
olvcso the side of the hills. Those who
exclalm against the unfertility and barren
ness of this country, must rccollect that want
of cultivation gives it much Of the sterile
and barren appearance which it now pre-
sents to the traveller. The plough in use in
that country is one of the rudest instru-
ments ever have seen. 1t resembles the
ancient Egyptian plough, and it does little
more than scratch the soil, making furrow
scarce three inches in depth. About mid
way to Jerusalem, we passed through a deep
narrow gore, wooded to an extent that we
could scarcely have imagined, from the
rocky and barren desert in which it was
situated. The assent out of this place is
fearfuly precpItous. And has long been
noticed in modern history as the hiding
place, or tastness Of the lawlcss Bedawee.
Some time previous 10 our visit. large
band of Egyptian cavalry were completely y
destroyed in this ravine. The huge rock,
the close woods on either side, and the over.
hanging crags, form complete cover for
the enemy, who might attack the largest
body of men passing through it, while they
wouH remain secure from harm, especially
from horsemcn. Thanks to the rule OF
Ibrahm Pacha, whatever be his faults, and
believe he has many, we passed this part
of Palestine in perfect security, and without
interruption. In the bottom Of the ravine,

lotus trees and by the wayside, were some
enormous rocks, which IN several places,
contained excavations. under which we rest.

ODD FELLOWS ODE.

Hark! bark! sound Of anguish
Upon the breeze floats by
A voice, from those who languish
In want and misery;
From many gloomy dwelling,
From many a fireless hearth,
That mournful sound is swelling
Through all the boundless earth!
Oh, brothers; when to meet you
Your wives and children come,
And glad young voices greet you
Within your happy home,
When round you fondly twining,
Their loving arms are thrown,
Remember those who're pining
Unpitisd and alone!
They sit, their tears fast falling,
Bowed down with grief and want,
On you for aid they're calling
Oh, haste that aid 10 grant!
Haste, haste, the tears Of sadness
From each wan cheek to dry,
And bid the smiles of gladness,
Beam bright from every eye!
All, haste +! the breath of sorrow
Is withering and cold,
And death perchancc tomorrow
May shroud them in its fold !
Haste, and The widows blessing
Your footsteps shall attend,
While orphans round you pressing,
In grateful love shall bend!
Go forth ye love.linked brothers,
On virtues radiant way!
And be your strength 10 others
A chargeless hope and stay!
Around each care worn mortal
The arms of friendship cast
So, through life's last, dread portal,
May you be stayed at last!
