TOMB OF DAVID.

The mysteries of the tomb of David are
at last revealed to the christian world by an
ingenius ruse of Hiss Barely, for many years
a resident of Jerusalem. This adventurous
lady, after having visited the harem enclo-
sure, at the risk of hes, life, determined to
explore, disguised as Turkish lady, the
very tomb of the "Prophet David" for more
than six centuries in the jealous custody Of
the Turks.
The black Darnise who kept the entrance
to this sacred spot, was deceived by the ia
miliar use of the Arabic language as well as
the assurance of her friend, in the person of
a liberal minded and very beautiful Turkish
girl, who intimated her as pilgrim from
Constantinople, come to perform her devo-
tions at the shrines of their Lords and Pro-
phets, David and Solomon. Her devotional
feelings were put to strong test on obeserv-
ing this devotee of Ishlam take saturated
wick from an oil lamp, and deliberately de-
your it as an act of religious devotion. At
ter her form of prayer had ended, she raised
the splendid silken canopy, overhanging the
tumultuous, containing the body of David,
and there, in royal state, was the veritable
sarcophagus of David, having its marble cov-
er adorned with the most beautiful festoons
of grapes-the emblem of the Jewish archi-

fully transferred to paper, yet to be present

the Great Kings" soon to make its appear

No traces of its ancient treasures remain
ed that have so often been pillaged by the
Eastern monarchs. Hyrdanous, the son Of ST.
mon the Macabee, is said to have despoiled
it of three thousand talents, prior to its ex-
ploration by Herod the Great, who, when he
had penetrated these mansions of the dead
found nothing to crafty his cupidity, save
some furniture of gold, and other precious
treasures, which he carried away. At anoth-
er time rolling balls of fire are said to have
burst forth, and by the superstitious believed
to have consumed the seekers of bullion and
treasure said to be inhumed here even at the
present day. This interesting and tabooed
spot, as we'll as the Mosque Omar, will soon
be opened to Christian inspection, without
Turkish let or hindrance, as the writer of
this hasty sketch FURNISHED by Miss B. is
already by personal experience in his explo-
ration of the latter, though not less sacred

The MONEY CRISIS IN CHAknEsToN.-
In a very able article, on this subject, the
Standard says: elf we go on to inquire,
who shall bear the blame, of all this spread
ing, needless ruin ?-in reply every finger
points to New York There the panic COM
menced, and thence it has spread. In her
selfish pride and foolish policy, she imagined
that she was to stand as breaker against all
the furious waves that could dash against
the country. Thus far she has stood but at
the expense of every other point in connec-
tion. She absorbs the products of the coun-
try, and those products have gone to stregth-
en- her, whilst she refuses to enable her mer-
chants to pay for them. Heretofore sight
exchange on New York, drawn upon produce
shipped there, has been considered equiva-
lent to specie, But now her banks resolve
to protect themselves, her merchants fail,
Southern exchange drawn upon them is dis
honored, and so the New York banks keep
their specie, the proceeds of our products,
whilst the Southern banks that counted up
on the hard cash for their matured bills,
drawn upon Southern products, have to bear
the brunt of the pressure, with such means
as they can command at home. This is no
idle tale. There is now due to Charleston
thousands upon thousands of such bills,
which ought to have been paid Of specie
now in the vaults of the New York Banks.
In refusing to give out that specie, they have
broken their own merchants, and will now
embarrass the finances of the whole South,
until either the New York banks shall change
their policy, or the South find means Of
sending her staples 10 the consumers, with
out risking shipments to or through New
York. Our crops can pay our debts and re-
lieve all embarrassments. If New York
will not give out her gold for it, then we
must prepare ourselves to wait until Europe
shall send for what she wants to buy and we
want to sell. The result will be that New
York will temporarily injure us, but will ruin
her own merchantsand herself. Meanwhile
it becomes us to be patient and consderate.
Our panics are injurious, needless and fool
ish The South can and will meet the squall
without any serious injury to herself:
Her foundations are too solid to be moved
by this pressure. There is gold enough in
the world, to pay for our cotton, and that
world can not consent to remain unclothed
rather than part with its gold. All that we
require is a little breathing time and the good
old ship at the South will right herself no.

GooD NEws.-No poverty there Mil
lions of good men have left this earth poor,
but never has one entered Heaven poor.
Lazarus, the moment before he died was a
beggar at the gate, but in moment after
his death, his estate had grown so vast that
the naughty worldling, still serving in all
his influence, in comparison with him was q
penniIess pauper. o, poor believer, rejoice
in the prospect of your great Inheritance
1t is incorruptible, unde6led and fadeth not
away. 1t is really immense, inestimable,
unspeakable, has it not been your eudeavor
to lay up (for yourselD treasures in Heaven. ,
Why not often think of results there? Fear
not There is good news from far coun-
try Unsuccessful, as you may have been
on earth, your heavenly schemes have all
prospered.
The treasury of God overAows with your
wealth. And it is safe-perfectly safe
Neither moth nor rust corrupts it; nor can
thieves' break through to steal it. More
over, it shall increase-forever increase. As
long as you live on earth you may add to
the principal, and its interest will multiply,
beyond all computation, to all eternity
Cresus wasricb, Solomon was rich Luculus
was rich, and the Rothschilds are rich; but
the humblest heir of God is richer far than
all. 1t may be that the stores you have al
ready accumulated in Heaven would buy
this town, buy the district, buy our country,
buy the woodland still be comparatively
untouched. Nay think not this extravagant! !!
I would not barter the heritage of the most
destitute of Christians for the whole globe
and all improvements. Lift up your heart;
let it expand, and fill and overflow with bliss.
At the close of the short journey through
time, you will see eternity open before you,
all radiant with the variety of your boundless
and endless possessions. Be not proud, in
deed-alas, for the folly of all pride but
be glad, thankful, hopeful, and happy.

THE LESSON OF L1FE.-A cheerful old

The LESSON OF L1FE.-A cheerful old
gentleman, between eighty and ninety years
old, says the Hartford Courant, was in our
Office the other day, and in the course of the
chat we asked him what was the principal
practical lesson he had learned in his pro-
tracted life. Said he, "the essence of what
I have learned, teaches ME to laugh when l
can and cry when 1 must have learned,
also, to beware of endorsing. The man
who invented endorsing had ruined tens of
thousands of business men. My principal
looses were caused by attempting to help
others. If an embarrassed man comes to
you for aid, the true course is, tell him to
fail first ; if fail he must, and you will help
him after his failure and not before. The
course of an embarrassed man is to stop
payment promptly. If you attempt to help
a man, he will hate you. Men always hate
those to whom they are under obligations
If you expect gratitude, you deserve in
gratitude, according to the practical working
of things" This was the experience of
man, who said, also, that "one of the prin-
cipal things I have learned is to take very
coolly whatever comes along. The world
keeps along about the same, no matter what
happens"
We thought of what old Grant Thorburn
who is now in his S5th year: He says that
men are fools who arc continually grumbling
over "miserable world"
