The Women of Egypt, in order to
acquire a degree Of fitness, bathe
themselves in lukewarm water. They
stay SO long in their baths that they
cat and drink therein. During the
time they are in the bath, they take
every half hour some broth made Of
fat pullet and stuffed with sweet al
monds, hazel mats, dates and pistachio
nuts. After taking this kind of broth
four times, they eat pnllet all but
the head When they como out of the
bath, they are rubbed over with per-
fumes and sweet scented pomatum,
and after that some Of them take my
robalfns before going to bed; others
take q dranght prepared with gum

UT'hoy have newspapers in st.

to send her fleet into our seas, and the
flag Of France waves beside Of Eng

CoNplTloH OF TIE Holy LAND
The Boston Traveller, noticing the re-
oeipt Of a letter from one Of a party of
American travellers in the Holy Land
says
It gives a melancholy account Of
the present condition of affairs there
The Turkish troops have been with
drawn to fight the Russians, anarchy,
disorder and violence Of all kinds are
prevailing. Many of the inhabitants
have taken refuge in the walled towns,
and the peasants, as they work in the
fields, have with them their arms
loaded for an encounter. Bands Of
Bodouin robbers traverse the country
in every direction, and the party to
which the writer was attached, was
attacked and one Of them wounded
Thus while Europe is about to
plunge into war, originating in the
question as to the CONTROL Of the Holy
Places, the inhabitants Of that region
are left at The mercy Of the spoiler. In
one case it is stated that forty men
and two women were massacred by
party Of Bodouin vagabonds.

EE-"Earn you money before you

The same thing might be said in re-

credit, before you use it." Its a very
astonishing fact, that both, in many re-
markable cases, arc used by persons
having neither. The question is when
a man 'buys on a credit" who has no
credit, what does he in reality ''buy
on!' VIII some expert mathema-
tician oblige US to- solve the problem.

AFFECTING ScENE.--We witnessed


AFFECTING SoENE.-We witnessed
an exceedingly affecting scene on Sat
uraay last in tile Second District
Court. A mother was deprived, or
robbed, by that pride and boast of all
free countries that great safeguard
Of our liberties-a writ Of habeas cor
pus. A lady, about four years ago,
had been divourccd from her husband
in an interior parish in this State -
At the time the husband sued out
and got q judgements for diyoarce, she.
was absent in this city, accompanied
by her infant child. The divource
gave to the father the care and pro
lection Of the children but, either be
cause he wished to avoid the trouble
of raising this child, or because his
late wife (the mother) had kept be-
yond his reach, it was only yesterday
that he claimed it--four years subse
quont to the date Of the divourcc. "A
writ of habeas corpus was sued out in
the Second District Court by the faith
or, to gain possession Of the child, and
the mother and child were brought
into court The mother was a very
amiabIc looking Indy, and tho child,
a little girl Eve years Of age---was an
angelic creature, her name was Ange-
The case was argued at some length,
and Judge Lea decided that the little
girl should be given up to the care Of
her father.
Mothers only can properly appre-
ciate and sympathise with the feelings
Of this mother, when about to be de-
prived Of her only solace-her only
comfort--her constant companion for
years, and the only object that she
fondly and truly loved i; for what can
equal mothers agony and despair,
when she looses that she so loves
But the inexorabe law is deaf to the
wai'ings Of sorrow; justice is blind,
and cannot sec the scalding tears that
swell up from the grief striken heart,
and pour fourth from the lustrous
eyes Of her whom it has by a cruel
mandate, deprived Of her only child
"a jewel beyond price. For us to
attempt to describe the scene that fol-
lowetl-tho order Of the Court to the
Sheriff to tear the little girl from the
arms Of parent whom she had long
known and loved, and transfer her to
the caro- Of a farther whom she knew
not, and had never would DO

child was borne off by the Sheriff,
and givcn 10 tho father, amid tho
most heart rending and agonIziDg
shrieks of The mother, and the infau-
tile cries Of the little Angel herself
There were few dry eyes in Court and
if it be true that the angels sometimes
weep, surely they must have shed BIT
ter tears at beholding this child torn
from its mothers arms. Bulwer had
not heard from Louisiana when he
wrote, "Thero is no law, human or
divine, that can seperate mother
from her child."---DeIta.

The GREER CuuRcH-I'he funda-
mental difference between the Greek
and Uomans Catholic churches, con
sists In the rejection Of the spiritual
supremacy Of st. Peter by the former,
and the denial Of any visible raproseD-
tatiye of Christ upon earth. In the
view it takes of tho Holy Ghost, it is
also at variance, NOT only with the
Roman Catholic, but with The Protos-
tant churches. This variation con-
sists in the idea, that the Holy Spirit
proceeds from the son alone, and not
from the father and son. II rccog-
MICS seven sacratnents, authorizes the
Offering Of prayers to the saints and
the virgin, encourages the Use Of pic
lures, but lorbids Images. It holds ia
reverence tho relics and tombs Of holy
men and enjoins strict fasting aud Civ
ing of aims, looking upon them as
works Of intrinsic morlt. It rejects
aurlcular confession, anu holds that
modified form Of the Roman doctrine
Of tho eucharist, which il denominatod
eonsubstantiation. Il administers bap-
tlsm by immersion, and many Of the
church services consists for the most
part Of ceremonial observanoos. The
intrinsic doctrines Of the two churches,
do not differ materially, and the cause
Of their separation was, doubtless ow-
ing more to the rival pretensions Of
tho two imperial cities, Rome and
Constantlnople, than to any serious
disagreement in relation to doctrines
and ordiuancos.---N. K Sunday
