who was in the advance, waved to US

forward to catch tic first glimpse Of
the holy city, and saw peeping above

traveller, whether his mind be cnlight-
ened by feeling Of true piety Or cloud
ed by superstition, or whether alone
influenced by that love otrestless cut
riosity toIsee and visit new objects
and scenes. It's impossible tolook up

feelings Of awe and reverence for d
spot around which clusters so many
religious and classic associations. go
The bleak and gloomy looking walls,
rising from the rocky plain, seemed
to fetter those for whose protection
they were built. III !.

to the North, most extraordinary pre-
cautions were takept to prevent casual

the danger signals were exhibited for
five minutes after the departure OF
the train from each station; cord
communicated from the royal van TO
the head aud tail OF the train !; a look
ont man was kept on the tender, with
his face towards the train; two greas-
ers were kept on constant lookout
to see that the axles did not heat, and
two guards were continually on the
lookout OK both sides of the train. -
all the stations were kept clear half
