The native Jewish families in Je.
rusalem, swell as those in Other
parts, of Palestine, present a marked
difference I'd the Jews Of Europe and
America. They possess the same
physical chasacteristics--the dark
oblong eye, Ae prominent nose, the
strongly marked cheek and jaw
but in the later these traits have be.
come harsh. and coarse. Centuries
devoted to the lowest and most de!
basing forms Of traffic, with the en-.
durance of persecution and contume-
ly, have greatly changed and
vulgarized Che appearance of the
race. But THE Jews of the Holy City
still retain q noble beauty, which
proved to My mind their descent
from the ancient princely houses Of
Israel. The forehead is loftier, the
eye larger ami more frank in its ex-
preston, the. nose more delicate in
it's prominence, and the face purer
oval. ] have remarked the same
distinction Id the countenances OF
those Jewish families Of Europe
whose members have devoted them
selves to art or literature. Men.
delssohn's waA aface that might have
belonged to the house Of David.
On the evening of my arrival in
the city, as Isset out to walk through
the bazaars, Iencountered q native
Jew, whose flee will haunt me the
rest Of my lie. ! was sauntering
along, askinganyself, ''Is this Jerusa-
lem ?" wheni lining my eyes, they
met those dc Christ It was the
face which Raphael has painted
the traditional features Of the Sa-
viour, as they are recognized and ac-
cepted by all,dhristendom. The wa
wing brown hair, partly hidden by .
Jewish cap, fell clustering about his
ears; the faccgwas the most perfect
oval, and almost feminine in the pu-
rity ofits outline; the serene, child
like mouth was shaded with light
moustache, ard a silky brown beard
clothed his clsin; but the eyes-shalI
! ever look into such orbs again !?
Large, dark unfathomable, they
bcamed with ihe expression Of divine
love and divine sorrow, such as |
never before saw in human face.
The man has lust emerged from q
dark archways and the golden glow
Of sunset, reflected from white wall
above, fell upon his face. Perhaps
it was this TRANSPORTATION which
made bis beauty % anearthly; but,
during tho m6ment that ! saw him.

almost been depopulated by the severest scourge
