Everybody knows the general aspect of Je-
rusalem now. Ordnance surveys, societies
for exploration, Sunday y-school teachers and
artistic friends have brought pictures of it for
those of us who live in these remote corners;
Jerusalem ITSELF be it remembered, being in
the middle of the world" Indeed, such is
the ease of travel now, that it is safe 60 take
for granted, in any considerable assembly,
that some one is present who has walked in
the streets of Jerusalem, has seen the Jews
weeping by its walls, and can describe from
personal remembrance the Mosque of Omar.
This general aspect helps us in forming an
idea of what it looked like eighteen hundred
and fifty years ago-of which, by misfortune,
there is no description. OF the temple aud
its glories, as all readers know, there is very
full description but the Indifference of the
anoients to the picturesque, and even to topog'
raphy, leaves us to construct for ourselves the
Jerusalem of the gospel time, Still, the
slopes of the hills are there the olive-trees
and the anemones and the cyclamens, with the
rest of the spring vegetation, are there. The
wood has been destroyed from the country,
generally, by the ravages of Islam and Islam's
wars. But the neighborhood of a city as
large as Jerusalem was then is never heavily
wooded. The population of the city itself
was then six or eight times what it Is now.
Such a population requires diligent farming
and maTket-g gardening in the neighborhood !
so it is probable that the country around had
more farmhouses and hamlets, and other as
poets of habitation, than it has now. But,
making such allowances for changes, the tray-
eler to-day has a right to feel that he looks on
much such landscape as the traveller coming
down 10 Jerusalem from Jericho saw in the
days of Jesus Christ. Anew Englander some
times catches bit of landscape in his own
region which reminds him, if the conditions
of sky and climate are right, of these round
ed hills and rounded OliVe-trees and closer

the way, and had hardly left her TO go back
when he heard piercing shrek fastening
without her head, which had been carried off.
As the girl had told the policeman OF the
butcher whom she had visited, his suspicious
were at once aroused, and he hastened to the
butchers house. After waiting half an hour,
the butcher came in with bag under his arm.
To the question what was in it he replied that
it was a sleeps head, and threw It under the

sack was demanded, and on being opened was
found to contain the murdered girls head.
