As soon as these facts became known in thi

Eight venerable trees, isolated from the
smaller and less imposing ones which skirt
the mass of The Mount OF Olives, form con-
centmted grove. High above, on either
hand, towers very lofty mountain, with a
deep yawning gulf of Jehosap phut between
them. Crowning one Of them is jerusalem,
q living city; on the slope of the other is the
great Jewish cemetery, a city Of the dead.
Each tree in this grove, cankered and
gnailed, and liuuowed BY age, yet beautiful
in its decay, is living monument Of the
affecting scenes that have taken place beneath
sand around It. The Olive perpetuates itself,
aud from the root of the dying parent stem,
The young tree springs into existence. These
