ropuLArIoN OF JERUSALEM.

OF the 5000 Christians, about 800 are Protest
ants, who, for the most part, are living aud de
voted followers Of Christ. The Christian Mission.
in Jerusalem are organized under one hend-ar
Episcopal bishop-who is appointed cJpioinily
by the King Of Prussia and the Queen Of Eng
land. Bishop Gobat is the present incumbent,
noble and Catholic man, but is compelled To
leave his post in consequence Of failing health
The ordination Of Lutheran clergymen is re-
cognized as valid, and both Lutherans and Epis-
copalians work side by side in the great work Of
evangelization. The principal church IL on Mount
Zion, noar the Hippic Tower, and is commo-
dious and beautiful church II is well filled
every Sabbath with q mixed audience, and it j.
pleasing sight to see Jews, and Greeks, and
Turks, aud Protestant Christians worshippipg
together. There ie union prayer meeting held
twice week, and a coscert for prayer and mis-
sionaTy intelligence once month. These sociat
meetings are spiritual, and are precious seasons
of grace. On Eaater Sunday there we're sixty
native converts present At the communion Of the
Lords Supper, and ii ia among the most cheering
signs of tho times, that the natives ot the city
aud its adjacent towns will listen for hours to
the reading Of the Psalms Of David, and the
simple narrative of the Evangelist. The mis-
sion is also doing immense good by its charitable
institutions. Here is House of Industry for
proselytc Jews of both sexes, where the inmates
are furnished with home and employment for
two years, during which time they become con
tirmed in the faith Of the Gospel, and are pre-
pared 10 60 forth to seek livelihood for them
selves aud exemplify their religion Here is
also the House Of the Deaconesses for the educa-
tion OF poor children, and for the accommodation
of the sick. Here are found forty one girls irsn
five to twelve years of age, learning useful trades
and being taught in the word Of the Lord. Some
OF them give evidence Of early conversion, and
in turn have become missionaries among their
schoolmntes. But the Sunday school is the most
efficient means Of good now employed, and Is
attended with the happiest results. There are
five separate schools held in different parts ct
the town, and are attended by hundreds Of pre-
cious youths. One of my happiest Sabbaths ia
Jerusalem was spent in visiting these school.
The children had put of their native custumes
and we're attired like Europeans they reoiied
their lessons with prOmptness; sang the same
\ hymns which had been accustomed to hear Mt
home. Thus the work Of the Lord is established
, in the city OF our God, and here, where Chiisf
was mallreated and put TO death, his mann is
adored by hnAdreds Of sincere iesTts, and 'ie
rising generation are being taught the pre-, ''''"
Of his Gospel, and to trust in him for ftdeta,.

EVIL HEART.

On the Western shores Of Lake Champlain,
during the first years Of the war OF tho Beyolu-
ton, there lwelt an aged but ovil-hearled wo-
man, known among the few settlers of that
region by the name Of Hester Madge. 1t was
rumorel that she llhj sought the solitude of the
woody shores to evade the punishment due her
for the preparation Of some heinous but unknown
crime many years before in the city of New York.
To have attempted to trace this fumor TO its
fountain. head would have been futile and the
men were contened to believe it, after one glance
at the lowering, blackbrowned, and scowling
visage of the shrivclled hag, who seemed to have
no affinity for any of her species save for tall,
lean, savage faced man who called her mother,
or devil ns the humor suited him, and who ap-
peared at long intervals to make a brief sojOurn
at the lonely log hut in which she passed the
greater portion Of her existence. Sometimes
the hunter, strolling by accident past the only
door Of her dwelling, might pause to stare in
wonder at the witchlike shape, smoking pipe
IN the doorway, and glaring with baleful eyes al

calm, and would conjure a storm to tear i from
the distant and rocky shores. But he would
soon hurry from the spot when the bag lesped
towards him ferociously, hurting stones and
curses after him. Otherwise, no visits we're
paid to Hester Madge.
The rumor Of the rapid approach of Burgoyne,
with an immense force Of redcoats and redsklusi
from the Cansdas, was driving all those whom

speakers:
ADDRESS OF ATTORNEY GEsERAL wOorrES.
Alfred r. Wootten being loudly called for,
came forward and remarked, that under all cir
cumstances bow to the will of the people l
am here to stand between the Governor and the
rebels think the Legislature should be called
together 10 provide means to equip the men who
may volunteer to defend the Government l
wish the Governor was here to look on this vast
assembsge, to witness this expression Of opinion,
as think be would be constrained to disregard
the advice Of a miserable clique and act in ac-
cordance with the will Of the people.
There lie much said by certain men about
peace. too am for peace, but am not for the
destruction of the Government am utterly
opposed to the politicians who are seeking to
destroy or ruin t. l am a Democrat, and have
been taught 10 believe that the will Of the ma
jority should be respected. l am willing to put
down all party feeling to sustain the Government.
