of HAL

There rises hinge wall seventy feet
high, inclosing a square court Of which
the side Is TAO feet long. Part of the
wall, having fallen into ruins, has been
rebuilt from the ancient materials; but
the whole Of the north side, withits
beautiful pllasters, remains perfect.
As the visitors enter the court they
stand still In establishment ut the ex-
traordinary sight which meets their
eyes; for here, crowded within those
four high walls, Is the native village Of
Tadmor. II was natural enough for the
Arabs to build their mNd huts within
these readymadc Notifications. but the
impression produced BY such village
In such place is indescribably strange.
The temple. so TO speak, is eaten out
ut the core, and little but theshell re-
mains. But here and there nuted
Corinthian column or group 81 columns,
with entablature still perfect, rises IN
stately grace far over the wretehed
hnts, the rich, creamy color Of the lime
stone and the beautiful holdings Of the
capitals contrasting with the clear blue
OF the cloudless sky. The best view Of
the whole is to be obtained from the
roof Of the macs, which, once beautiful
and adorned with sculpture, is now NIL
battered and dcfaecd and has been met,
amorphosed into squnlid little mosque.

the clear blue air and the golden sum
shine rise the stately columns; crowded
and jnmbled and heapcd together be-
low, untouched by the gladdening sun
beams, unfreshened BY the pure, free
air, lies all the squalor and wretched-
ness 81 an Arab mud-hnt village.

she robbed him Of his watch aud $40 ana
