Through the kindness Of a friend we
were allowed to look at letter from one
Of the American settlers IN Pali.tihe. Ii
may not be unknown to oar readers that a
iew years ago sonie eight or twelve OF our
countrymen conceived the very novel idea
of removing to and establishing a colony
in Palestine. We say novel, because that
was the first time movement like that
was ever proposed, and because the Arab;
who are ia possession OF the country are
generally extremely hostile 10 foreigners.
The company was formed, and after leay
ing this country, they located in The mme-
date vicinity Of Jerusalem. but being dis
satisfied with the situation, they removed
to place near Joppa, i'll the Plains of
Sharon. With that energy decision and
promptitude Of action which characterizes
the American people, the settlers went to
work, deyoting Themselves to farming
The Arabs, whom they had every reason
to believe would modest them, approached
them in the most friendly manner, and an
intercourse, characterized by the ialrest
actions and most perfect friendship was
Immediately established. The Turkish
government, with iberality and courte-
sy seldom ever shown by them permitted
all of the agricultural implements of the
party to be imported free Of duty. The
manner Ia which Americans wol ked. the
construction ftheir farming utensils, and
their adaptation to the use they were In
tended for. gave the Arabs high idea OF
The party, and as we before remarked
they we're perfect. friendly and honest
The settlers write home the most glowing
descriptions of their home in the Holy
Land, aud say they will never leave it,
BY irrigation, they raise two fine crops III
the summer, and one in winter when the
rains supersede the necessity OF irrigating
the lands. The crops are all large and
luxuriant, in fact more SO than i'll the Uni
ted States. There can be no reasonable
doubt, but what this little colony viii rap,
| idly increase, from the fact that the soil
is so productive, aud land SO cheap, being
only six dollars and fifty cents per acre in
the immediate vicinity of Joppa. The
healthness OF the climate too is another in
ducement, for although the cities OF pales-
tine are in the main unhealthy, the coun.
try is the reverse, and the salu5rious air o
the country in which our settlers have To-
Gated, renders it peculiarly pleasant. To
the rejecting mind the settlement of these
i Americans III the Cauaans of antiquity at
Iortls remarkable illustration Of the Sc
cret working of Providence for we car
but beiieve that this colony is intended &c
be the means of opening out a way for thu
Jews to return to their native land. The
reader, who is conversant with the Bible
will at once recall to mind, the passage il
Holy Writ in reference to the richness o
the soil of Canaan; in speaking Of th'
abundance of grapes, it is said, They
came unto the brook of Eschol, and Gu
down from thence branch with one clus
ter of grapes and they bore it between

Where, tell me where hath flown that bird of song
Whose notes enchanting to the muse belong;
In what fair dreanl-land ofideal space s
Are those bright pinions, plumed wmatchless grace
That magic harp again fain would hear.
Whose thrilling tones once fell upon my ear, so
With strains Of concord from Apollo's fount,
And wreatls fresh gathered from Parnassus' mount
Where now is heard the music of that Tyre, So
Ard where now burns that true poetic fire :? -
Aiasi my fiicnd, I pray thee teil me why
A mystic cloud hath gathered DER the sky,
Te hide the ustre OF the genial light, So
opca pealing forth az beautiful and bright,

Or ems that glitter ia HIuE DIAMOND RING"
All, tell me not, IA words Of doubtful tone,
With looks l-omencd, and borrowed moan:
1.-THE harp unstrung hath Lost its magic power,
To charm the car, or cull single flower"
IT'S delusion ! still thy muse may roan,ii
In fields Eysian to that cloud-eap'd home.
And high above, may pluel. the need Of FAME,
That brightest trophy of DEArHLEss NAME.
Grid on the armor mount the fiery steed,
And CLIMB Parnassus with radoubled speed;
Though rough the Path, yet boundess is the field,
And mighty power the valiant arm may WELD.
Then scale the summit mount the loftest height,
And stretch thy wings in bold ideal flight
Till with ExcE1s1on's proudest flag unfurled,
gu gain the need of an admiring world.
