fRE DEsOLArION Or BABYLON.

1t is usual for travellers to dwell upon
the utter desolstion of Babylon, and to
paint its site as strip of desert, especially
woe-begone and unfertile. But the elo-
quent gentlemen who dwell upon this as
pect of the place could not have seen it in
the middle of April. The date groves and
gardens along the Euphrates are then
things of beauty i'm their fresh Spring YER
dure, and the plain itself is laid down with
crops Irrigation canals cross it here and
there and give trouble TO the horseman.
No grass grows upon the mounds, and
there are patches of the level white with
the nitre which is to be found here as in
other parts of Mesopotamia but the sur
face of the soil is on the whole green and
pleasant to the eye. The glad waters of
the river flow on in the bright morning
sunshine, with palm and mulberry hanging
over its banks, drinking in sap and life.
The great city which counted its popula-
ton by millions, and filled the world with
renown not vet forgotten, has disappear
ed under the dust of 20 centuries, but ma
ture is as fresh and jocund as when Baby
lon was still unbuilt. Birds sing over
head in the pleasant Spring air; butter
flies flutter about in search of flowers;
balmv odors regale the sense. 1t is diff
cult under the circumstances to feel as one
perhaps ought to feel for the great capital
which once numbered this ground. Ma
ture does not mourn for it, and it is hard
to be sad at the budding of sentiment when
the bright spring hides its grave.-Geary,
in Through Asidtic Turkey.
