GRAPHIC DIsCRIPTroN OF JERUSALEM
A Jerusalem corresl lent graphically de-
scribes the ruined and desolate condition
Of the Holy City. He says
The women, clothed from head TO foot
in white sheets with their faces concealed
by black veil, resemble as many ghouIs
Just risen from their subterranean abodes
more especially as they have a great fancy
for cemeteries, where they daily congre-
gate to howl. No sound of youth-there
are no boys in the streets--~no sound o,
wheels-there are no carriages~the dogs,
NANCY and woish, snarl and snap wher
you disturb them in their daily work as
scavengers, and make the livolong night
hiieous with their conference.-the VERY
birds do not sing, but cry TO each other
with dissonant chirp, or complain with 4
harsh murmur. From the horrors of the
city, if we pass to the e1virons, We find
naught but bare rocks around-stones and
dust beneath--the bright sun, reflected
from every Object burns in the brain-no
grass, no trees, no green thing-the prom
enades are cemeteries-thes seats are white,l
sepulchers. Here have been buried whole
generations of Jews; here are the bones
of the Assyrian, the Egyptian, the Chal-
dean, the Persian, the Greek, the Syrian,
the Crusader, the Turk. In fine, ,Jerusa-
lem is naught but cheap Of Wondering
bones and shattered houses.
