The Tomb pf David

The mysteries of the Tomb of David

some years resident of Jerusalem.-
This adventurous lady, after having Wis

her life, determined to explore, Disguised
as turkish lady, the very Tomb of the
prophet David, for more than SIX eeutu-

The blind Dcrvish, who kept the en-

as well as the assurance of her friend, in

Her devotional feelings were pat to q

lamp, and deliberately devour it as an aes

prayer had ended she raised the splendid
silken canopy overhanging the tumulus

in royal state was the veritable sarcopllA

the dearest spot on earth. Mary,
sitting by his side so constantly, listen

regret to the many hours spent in vani-

enjoyed them with SO much zcst. Liv-
ing as it were at the very Threshold of
the grave of her lost child, looking thro'
the freshness and bloom of its beauty to
the handful of dust and the few crumb-

Heaven seemed now a reality. No long

Scenes and Customs in New Iceland.

The establishment Of the first European
colony in the archipelago of New leland
dates from the year 1915. A society of
English missionaries at that epoch found
ed a station in the Bay of Islands to the
1kaya Miwi, or North Island, with the
view Of propigating and planting the
germs of civilization among these savage
hordes. The company experienced con-
tinual yexation from the avidity, jealousy
or policy Of the native Chiefs and that the
infant colony would have been extinguish-
ed, had not the missionaries found the
means of securing liberation for their en-
terprise by adding traffic to propagandism.
They succeeded after experiencing nu-
merous difficulties, in gaining complete
ascendancy over the chiefs, and their col
ony became central authority, of which
the native rulers were only instruments
and agents. The success of the missiona-
ries directed public attention to New Ze-
land, and large numbers of emigrants
were induced to 60 there, and finally the
British Government established its sover-
eighty, obtaining grants of territory from
the native chiefs. Since the advent OF
civilization in New leland. towns have
sprung mp as if by enchantment; magnii-
cent ports are opened to commerce; agri-
culture has seized upon the best portions
of the soil, and transformed by an intelli-
gent and varied culture, the entire shore
of these lslanAs. The number of Europe
an residents is estimated at 10000. The
native chiefs aud some of their tribes have
long since abandoned their half civilized,
half barbarous costume and assumed the
more respectable garb, which always at
tend the progress of civilization. The
interior of the two great islands from
north to south, presents rough interme
date region, and land less favorable for
agricultural purposes. To compensate
for this it abonnds in natural wealth.
The town of New Plymouth, on the bank
OF Taranka, is the principal locality for
the establishment of English manufac-
tories and commerce. and in future will
probably represent the strength, wealth
and industry Of the New leland emf.
grants. wellington or Port Nicholson.
situated on Cooks Strait at the southern
extremity of the Northern Island, is also
place of much Importance. The shore
north of the Bay is of wild character, and
is only visited by whalers. Still there
are few hutS belonging to natives, who
seek the independence they regret to loose
in these savage solitudes. But the pro-
gress of civilization is not to be obstruc-
ted by these few barbarous natives, al
though it is stated that they are unrelent-
ing in their antagonism to anything like
true christianity, they are daily becoming
more civilized, and the time is not far dis
tant when the hitherto barbarous coun-
try of New leland will become thorough
ly civilized. and be recognized as pow
er equal, if not superior to the most Of
the republics of the East.
