THE WAM1Ka OF THE JEWS IN JERUsA-
LEM.-The Jews in Jerusalem have pur-
chased the right of the Turkish Govern
ment to assemble every Friday afternoon
near one of the sides of the Mosque of
Omar, against supposed portion of their
ancient, temple, and there lament
and weep over their fallen city and faded
glories.
Men, women and children there assem-
BILE, all coming with Bible in hand, and
dressed in their best suit. The men wear
q kind of long dressing-gown, made of
broadcloth or merino, or calico, of va
rious colors. having the edges trimmed
with fur. Their hair is cut short behind
the ears, but hangs in long curls in front.
The better class of women are clothed in
white dresses.and shawl. AS they ap-
proach the place of weeping they usually
lean first, for short time, with their
heads against the wall, but soon begin
to swing their bodies back and forth,
wringing their hands, while q priest or
patriarch leads off in reading selections
from the Prophets in tho most wailing
tones. at certain periods all voices join
IN the cry, tears running down their
faces, and they seem to be moved in the
most agonizing sorrow. Old men md

and feeble steps, and they bowed and
wept in deepest grief. Little children,
too, were there, their eyes moistened
and voices trembling, as they rejoiced
in the heart-touching lamentations.
No !ooker-on can doubt but there is
sincerity in this service. The Jews feel
that Jehovah hears their cries and pray
ers, and according to prophecy will re-
store to them, after long seasons of bitter
wailings, their lost glories; gathering to-
gether all the scattered children of
Israel, and henceforth permit them to
live and die in the Holy City, and be
buried among the graves of their fathers.
This practice is said to have continued
from the twelfth century, and perhaps
from an earlier period. BY the Emperor
Adrian, the Jews were driven from the
city. During the reign of Constantine,
they were allowed to approach only near
enough to see it; but at length succeeded
in purchasing the privilege of entering
it once year to weep, and at present
they are allowed this privilege every Fri
day.

The continued and successful ace holding
outof Metz, Strasburga and n0nl, is. al
most as remarkable as The thorough col

Thionville occupied the Plussians for

ALL: Carnot wrote, for the first reyolus

as the first principle that ''every soldier

9, lift up thy head
And be not afraid,
The Savior once lay in q manger.
When temptations rise
To dazzle thine eyes,
And sin shall endeavor to bind thee;
Remember that he
Was tempted like thee,
And Satan will vanish behind thee.
When slander and shame
Are heaped on thy name,
And the world looks cold to thy vision;
Take comfort. we're told
That Jesus of old
Endured all its scorn and derision.
- All, hush then thy sobs
And still thy heart throbs
And cease now to murmur and languish;
When Jesus did know
Gethsemane's woe,
Canst thou heed My SORROWS and anguish.
NO, go TO the tree
Where he died for thee,
And read there the wonderful story:
How he bore the shame,
That through his great name
Our shame might be turned into glory.
Then be of good cheer, /.
When night drawing near,
The death-wind is blowing chill DER thee:
And dread not the tomb
The gateway of home
The Savior hath passed thro' before thee.
