The Cry OF JERUsALEM.-Of the
ancient Jerusalem nothing remains ex-
cept the natural features, which still re-
tain an interest from the historical asso-
citation attachedto them. The modern
city, Ell Kods, 10y the Arabian's term,
signifying the Holy, is revered and Wis
tied by the Jews, christian and Moham.
medan pilgrims Its walls inelose cir
cult of about three miles, a somewhat
greater extent Il an the Jewish capital,
as Mount Calvary is comprised within
them, and contains about'30 900 souls.
The oldest city was destroyed by the
Babylonians; that which was troddcn
by the Divine footsteps was demolished
by Titus, A. d. 20.
Mount Moriah, on which stood the
magnificent temple of Solomon, and
Mount Zion. are in the south part of the
city; at their foot is the memorable pool
of Sloan, On the south of the city is
the Aceldama and Hlnnon, or Gehenna,
and Oil the east the valley of Jehosaphat.
The mosque of Omar, called Eel Bar-
EN-, the Holy, is a vast pile of buildings
composed of a cluster of mosques and
Moguls, revered by Moslems as the Sc
cond great sanctuary of Mohalnmedan-
ism. 1t is said to be built over David's
tomb, and to contain the sacred stone
that formed Jacobs pillow.
Among the numerous Christian chur-
ches and converts, the Church of the
Holy Sepulchre, is the most interesting.
MOUNT LEBANON.-Lebanon is not an
isolated peak, but a chain of mountains
running through the south of Sy ria.
The wood for King SOfomon's Temple
was cut from it's slopes, and many of the
sacred utensils were made from its ce-
dars. Jerusalem was sometimes called
Lebanon because the temples and houses
were built almost entirely of the cedars.
MOUNT HoREB.-Moses wandering
one morning along the slopes Of Horeb,
saw before him a solitary bush blazing
from top to bottom, but still unconsum-
ed. Every branch was fiery branch,
and every leaf leaf that growed I'M
wasted in the still flame. As he stood
amazed and awestruck at the sight, a
voice exclaimed s'Iake thy shoes from
off thy feet, for the place on which thou
standest is holy ground
Mount Moriah stands just without
Jerusalem, and is now crowned with the
mosque of Omar, whose entrance has
been long forbidden to the Christian,
and kept sacred to the followers of Mo-
manned. It stands where the rude al
tar of Abra aam rose nearly four thous-
and wears ago. The proud city has risen
and fallen beside it, generations of men
have come and gone, and whole dynas-
ties of kings disappeared one after the
other; yet there it stands as it stood in
the wilderness when it was troGden only
by the wild beasts of the forests. Years
after, the temple of King Solomon threw
the sunbeams upon it and the children
of Israel paid their vows there. But 1t
is still more memorable to MasonS, OH
the account of III. AS tomb.

Gen. Howard, Chief of the Bureau of
Freedmen, declares that nearly million

of the country have died since their
emancipation from slavery. at that
rate, the negro race will soon pass out
of existence in the United States.

AT five years of age a horse has forty
teeth-twenty- four molar of jaw teeth,
II inciSor or front teeth, and four tusks
or canine teeth, between he molars and
incisos, but usually wanting in the
mare.
At birth only the two nippers or mid
die incisors appear.
At year old the incisors are all visi-
bic on the first or milk set.
Before three years, the permanent
nippers have come through.
At four years old, the permanent di-
viders next to the nippers are cut.
At five the month is perfect, the Sc
cOnd set of teeth having completed.
AT SIX, the hollow under the nippers,
called the mark, has disappeared from
the dividers, and the next teeth, or cor
ners, are level though showing the
mark.
At eight the mark has gone from the
corners, and the horse is said to be aged.
After this time, indeed good authorities
say after five years, the age of a horse
can only be conjectuTed. But the teeth
gradually change their form, the inciS-
Ors becoming round, oval, and then
triangular. Dealers sometimes BISHOP
the teeth of old horses; that is scoop
them out to initiate the mark; but this
can be known by the absence of the
white edge of enamel which always sur
rounds the real mark, by the shape OF
the teeth, and other marks of age about
the ANIMAL Rural Gentleman.

THE SOURCE OF WINE.-There is a
little German anacreOntic, which tells
that an angel, visiting the earth some
time after the subsistence of the Deluge,
discovered Father Noah setting at noon
in the shadow of a fig tree looking very
disconsolate. The angel inquired the
cause of his grief, Noah replied that the
noon-time heats were very oppressive,
and that he was thirsty and had nothing
to drink. 'a.
''Nothing to drink" said the angel.
Look around9 Do not the rains fall, and
the rivers run; and is there not spring
of water bubbling up at thy cottage
door!'' SIT is true" answered Noah,
shifting his breast, "that there is album
dance of water in which thy servant can
battle: but alas! wien / think of the
multitudes of strong men, of beautiful
women, and of innocent children, and
the countless host of animals that were
drowned in the flood, the idea of water
becomes distasteful, and my lips reiilse
to drink" ''There is reason in what
thou sayest," replied the angel, and,
spreading his snow-white wings, he few
up to heaven, swift as lightning flash,
and while the eyes of Noah were still
dazzled by the brightness of his pres
ence, returned with some shocks of the
wine, which he taught the grateful pa
triarch how to plant and tend, and, when
the fruit was ripe, how to press into
wine
This, says the song, was the source of
all the beneficent and benevolent drinks
which the world owes to the grape.

The Georgetown (Texas) Watchman
says that the other day youth living
in Williamson county procured some
thing like gallon of bees, which he
tied mp in his bandanna and carried to
camp meeting. After the sermon was
over, and just when the happiness OF
many was eliminating, he turned his
winged messengers loose, which is said
tended very much to demoralize the
auditory,

CONFISCATION.

We publish III anOther column ILLS morning tne
text of Mr.. 1HADDEUs STEVENS Confiscation Bill.
The New York Times of Tuesday, speaking of it,
says:
1t confscates all the public lands belonging to
the ten rebel States, ard all the lands and other
property forfeited BY tho act OF Congress of July
II, i8G2-all which is to be scized condemned and
sold. Out OF the proceeds each adult male freed
slave is to receive 40 acres, and each one who is
head Of family 40 more. Out of the balance o
sum of $50 for each household is to be appropri-
ated to the erection OF buildings for the use of the
late slaves 5000 000 900 is to be invested in u S.
six per cent. bonds and tho interest added to the
pensi Of Union soldiers, and $500 900 is to be
appropriated to pay damages done to loyal citizens
by the civil or military government Of tho rebel
Cohtcderacy, under which clause Mr. Stevens
would be reimbursed for his property destroyed by
the rebel invasion Of Chambcrsburg, Penn The
remaining sections of the bill prescribe the
methods and machinery by VIII ch il; is to be car
ricd into effect, This measure is strictly consis-
tent with tho iews OF the war held by MIR. Stevens
from the beginning. But few in Congress concur
with him. however, in these views, and fewer still
would consent to intict these ruinous losses upon
the Southern people in addition to those they have
already sustained. The bill is not likely to receive
fftv votes in the House and will never roach the
Senate.
