bled words understood to be an oath Of

stranger among us favorable idea of
the practical good sense of the English
people.
Does any one really suppose that
these &c gentlemen Will be Ii bit more
firm in their allegiance to the occupant
of the throne OF this realm because
they have been compelled 10 make this
mechanical demonstration Of loyalty?

Ewes ToMB.-The Arabs claim that
Ewes tomb is ut Judah, the seaport CT
Mecca. The temple With palm tree
growing out Of crack in the roof
(Which is of itself one of the wonders of
the ORIENT, is supposed to be built di-
rectly over the last resting place Of the
first woman. According to Arab ira
dition. Eve measured over 200 feet in
height; which, unlikely rs it may
seem, strangely comedies with an ac-
count of our first parents written by a
member of the French Academy, who
also claimed a height of over 200 feet
for both of the tenants of the Garden
OF Eden. Ewes tomb, which is in a
burying ground that is surrounded by
a high wall, the gate to which has not
been opened for single intcrmcnt for
over 900 years, is the shrine of thous-
ands of devoted Ishmaelites, who make
a pilgrimage to the spot once every
seven years Once each year, on June
9. which is, according to Arabian le-
gends. the anniversary of the death OF
Abel. the doors to the tomb of our first
mother remain open all night, no odds
what precautions are taken to keep
them closed. Terrible cries of anguish
are said to emit from the tomb, as
though the memory Of the first known
tragedy still haunted the remains
which blind superstition believe to be de-
posted there.
