COLUMBUS SUNDAY ENQUIRER: SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 30, 1877.
A FAREWELL.]
Farewell, dfivs, and mouths ami years;
Farewell, thoughts, and hopes and fears;
Farewell, old delight and woe;
Farewell, self of long ago!
In the old familiar place
Time sped on at slower pace—
Past recall indeed you lie,
pays and months and years gone by,
Now the old familiar door
Shuts us out for evermore!
Farewell, house—no more our home!
Others, in the years to come,
Hither homeward will return—
On the hearth their fires will burn ;
Children that we do not know
Gather round the blithesome glow;
Other feet will tread the stair,
Other guests be welcomed there.
We, whose home it was before,
Shall be strangers evermore!
Mav be, in the years to come,
Past the house our feet may roam—
Over all a subtle change
Will have stolen ami made it strange,
And the house we leave to-day
Will have vanished quite away.
In the house’s joy and care
We shall have no lot nor share;
All our life herein will seem
Pike a half-forgotten dream.
We shall be as ghosts, that come
Ling’ring round their ancient home,
If our feet pass evermore
IS'ear the old familiar door.
Farewell, days, and months, and years;
Farewell, buried hopes and fears !
Wheresoe’er our footsteps stray,
Whether long or brief our stay,
Whatsoever good we find.
Many graves we leave behind.
So, farewell, old joy and pain,
We shall never know again!
Farewell, all things that we leave !
Surely, life ami warmth must cleave
To the house, when we are gone.
Can it empty seem, and lone,
When the echoes of the years,
Hopes and joys, and griefs and fears,
Scarce have died from roof and wall?
Surely, ghostly steps will fall
On the bare dismantled floors,
Gliding in at open doors.
Flitting up and down t he stair.
Will not shadows wander there—
Shades more vague than shadows are.
Or than ghosts that break death’s bar?
Sure our wraiths, when we are gone,
Oft will haunt the chambers lone—
Come to seek (ah, ne’er to find!)
All the years we leave behind!
Farewell, house, for evermore!
Farewell, old familiar door!
Farewell, home—yet no, not so—
Home goes with us where we go!
—Good 1 Cords.
BETIILEIIEH.
The Rev. E. R. Hendrix—whose
interesting work, “Around the
World,” is just from the Press at the
Methodist Publishing House in
Nashville, thus describes the visit
which he and Bishop Marvin made
to the birthplace of Christ:
Sheep and goats appear in consider
able numbers on all these hills of
Bethlehem. They are often found
together in flocks; but when desired
“the shepherd separates his sheej
from the goats.”
No wonder David was so apt with
the sling! Never did a shepherd boy
have such opportunity of practicing.
Stones, and smooth stones, such as
he knew how to use so well, are eve
rywhere. While he watched his
flocks, using his harp as a pastime by
night, he doubtless used his sling by
day. Thus grew that muscle that ena
bled him to tear the kid from the
lion’s month and the paw of the
bear. All along here where we see
these flocks to-day the son of Jesse
led his father’s sheep, and the shep
herds were watching their flocks by
night when a great light shone round
about them, and angel voices sung
“Unto you is born this day, in the
city of David, a Saviour, which i
Christ the Lord.” Down there in
that fertile valley lay, perhaps, the
field of Boaz, where Ruth gleaned
after the reapers. Her Gentile blood
mingled with Jewish in the veins of
David and his greater Son, perhaps
broadening the sympathies of the
one, and helping us to realize that
the other was the Son of Adam as
well as the Son of David. Up there
on the edge of the town is pointed out
David’s Well. He had often slaked
his thirst there in his boyhood. Now,
when the Philistines held it, David,
burning with thirst, cried, “Oh that
one would give me drink of the wa
ter of the well of Bethlehem, which
is by the gate! And the three
mighty men brake through the host
of the Philistines, and drew water
out of the well of Bethlehem, that
was by the gate, and took it and
brought it to David, nevertheless he
would not drink thereof, but poured
it out unto the Lord.” A woman at
the well drew some of the water for
us, and we found it sweet and re
freshing.
We wonder not at the name given
the town of Bethlehem—the “house
of bread.” Coming as we did from
the wilderness, we were much struck
with the evident fertility of the soil.
Doubtless these fields, and vineyards,
and olive groves, feed a large section
of country, many coming from a dis
tance to get bread. The town, which
numbers some five thousand souls, is
the cleanest, most enterprising place
we have seen. True, it has the ad
vantage of a good situation, and in
a relatively fertile section; but there
is a fresh look about the place which
would indicate that much is owing to
the spirit of the people. This is dis
played in a number of modern in
ventions in the manufacture of differ
ent articles. Here were fine displays
of goods made from mother of pearl,
or Dead Sea stone, or olive wood
Some of the Bethlehem merchants
had their wares at Philadelphia last
year. The women appeared better
contented and more modest, while
the children in fewer numbers cried
“Backshish !” What made the dif
ference? Nearly (lie whole popula
tion is Christian. In Siloam, and
other towns where all were Moslems,
there was an air of universal decay,
and the children were dirty, noisy
beggars, without exception. The
type of Christianity most seen here
is the Greek. It is by no meaus the
best. The Armenian is better, and
the Latin an improvement over eith
er. Still, while the Protestant may
almost blush that much of it is called
Christianity, yet it must be confessed
that such purely Christian towns as
Bethlehem and Bet Jala, a place of
three thousand souls near by, are a
great improvement over any Moslem
town in the country. One feels a
broader charity for all who are called
Christians, on seeing that the lowest
form of true religion is a great ad
vance as regards public morals, and
the sanctity of home, and the place
of women, over the best type of the
best false religions. If I felt dispos
ed to disclaim the Greeks who danced
around the sepulchre of the Lord,
awaiting the holy fire, I honor those
who have made Bethlehem such a
place that a Christian need not feel
ashamed that Jesus was born here.
The (ireeks, Latins ami Armen
ians, all have chapels and convents
on the site ot the Lord’s birthplace
in Bethlehem, as they have on the
site of his death in Jerusalem. Here,
as there, a military guard is stationed
to preserve order against any possible
outbreak of fanaticism on the part of
either Moslems or Christians. One
sacred spot is recognized by all sects,
and all are permitted to visit it and
worship there. The birthplace of
Jesus is shown in a sort of grotto un
der the main cliapel. The place is
marked by a silver star, over which
burn fifteen lamps, divided almost
equally among the Greeks,
Latins and Armenians. Within a
couple ot yards is shown the manger
Where he was laid when the shep-
herdscameto worship him. Silver
lamps are kept perpetually burning
while the walls an* hung with costly
tapestry, and the floor is paved with
jmtrble.
Of course no confidence can be
placed iu these exact spot9, and yet
there is strong probability that this
is the place where Joseph and Mary
took refuge when there w’as no mom
for them in the inn. The stables of
this country are often caves. Over
this one there arose in the fourth cen
tury a Christian church, which is be
lieved by many to be tliat still stand
ing, and through which we passed to
visit the cave or. grotto. If so, it
dates back to Constantine’s time, and
its peculiar architecture would indi
cate the period when the basiiiea or
sacred place for hearing, had not
been superseded by the cathedral
where the service was mostly address
ed to the eve. The old church is
built like a‘ large hall, having four
rows of columns to support the roof.
These are of stone, with capitals and
bases. They are nineteen feet high
and over six feet in circumference
They are so arranged that the preach
er could be seen and heard by a large
congregation. On this sacred spot
the gospel was doubtless preached in
in its purity before it became cor
rupted into a set of forms which con
cealed its great central truth.
Another incidental truth of the
early belief that this grotto marked
the birth place of our Lord, is that Je
rome, one of the Fathers, and as de
vout as he was scholarly, came hither
to live in this cave, that he might be
as near as ]x>ssihle to the sacred spot
where God became incarnate. The
cave where he lived and studied so
many years is connected with thetra
ditional cave of the nativity, one op
ening directly into the other. Of
course, there are many other sacred
places shown in Bethlehem, such as
the Grotto of the Shepherds, where
the angels first appeared to them, and
the ’Milk Grotto, where a drop of vir
gin’s milk fell on the rock, imparting
peculiar properties to it. But these
idle traditions should not divert our
minds from those more trustworthy
Here angels acknowledged that Christ
was born, and .Satan, through Herod,
sought the young Child’s life, and the
voice of Rachel was heard weeping
for her children, and she refused to
be comforted because they were not

anything.
A lawyer leaned over the stairs, as
he heard the noise, and shouted:
“You’ll strike bottom pretty quick

“Oh, I know just where 1 am, I
counted the stairs when I went up!”
replied the teamster.
As he landed, he rubbed his bruis

mused:
“I counted fourteen steps going up
and fifteen bumps coming down.

A Wrullt- Him.
In our style of climate, with its sud
den changes of temperature—rain,
wind and sunshine often intermingled
in a single day—it is no wonder that
our children, friends and relatives are
so frequently’ taken from us by neg
lected colds, half the deaths resulting
directly from this cause. A bottle of
Hoscliee’s German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use will pre
vent serious sickness, a large doctor’s
bill, and perhaps death, by the use of
three or four doses. For curing Con
sumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia,
Severe Coughs, Croup, or any disease
of the Throat or Lungs, its success is
simply wonderful, as your druggist
will tell you. German Syrup is now
sold in every town and village on this
continent. Sample bottles for trial,
10c., regular size, 75c.

A letter, and a yellow curl—
To call it “sandy," p'raps might rile her.
Who’s this romantic little girl
That’s fain to be her own Delilah ?
For me!, who never cared a rap
For rounded waist or taper ankle—
At whom no spinster sets her cap,
No Cupid shoots the shafts that rankle!
My dear, I grieve to make you pout,
But still it is imprudent, very,
To sliow’r your golden gifts about
In this way, on Dick, Tom and Harry.
“No doubt you've charms you highly prize,
Or else you'd scarce be Adam's daughter—
There may be death in your blue eyes,
But—don’t affect promiscuous slaughter.
Well preached! but somehow, don't sound
nice—
And letters lead to tittle tattle. * * *
I think one ought to give advice—
Vive voix—the tone is half the battle? * * *
’Twould not be hard to match this curl—
But. should I like its fellow better? * * *

THE BEAUTY OF CRETAN WOMEN.
Ugly Homes Outside Made Pleasant In
side by Model Mothers and Wives.
[From the London Times.]
Khalepa, Crete, Oct. 12.—A Cre
tan village is a strange looking place.
All the dwellings are alike in ugli
ness, oblong in form, with walls of
rough stone and flat roofs destitute of
parapets and chimneys. One or two
arches are thrown across the length
of the cottages to support the roof,
which consists of tenacious clay a few
inches deep, laid on pieces of bark
and rolled flat—let antiquaries shud
der—with the drums of marble col
umns. In Askypho the heavy snow
storms which occur there make it un
safe to carry up the buildings higher
than one story, and they certainly
have a most miserable exterior.
But the comfort within doors de
pends at Askypho, as everywhere
else, not on on the architect, but on
the lady of the house, and the wives
of Sphakia rank high among their
sex. They are conspicuous for their
beauty. Their dark eyes are large
and lustrous, their features are deli
cately chiselled, and waving tresses
tall in profusion from beneath their
modest kerchiefs. Their carriage is
graceful as the doe’s.
But, though possessed of uncom
mon personal charms, their attention
is by no means confined to the toilet.
Everything which their homes con
tain is the work of their own hands.
The cloth of the husband’s jacket
and fez of the wool of the sheep he
tends is dyed, spun and woven by the
hands of his faithful wife. She it is
who makes his garments from the
cotton plant which grows before the
door; the bright scarf that hinds his
waist is from the silkworm which
feeds upon his mulberry tree; the
mats and tapestries whose bright de
signs, taken from the pattern book of
tradition alone,give his home a cheer
ful air, are the work of her industri
ous loom, and many more objects that
I am incompetent to enumerate are
due to her untiring labors.
It was these Shakian women who
only ten years ago were with their
helpless children hunted from moun
tain to mountain, outraged and mur
dered. In the cottage of my guide,
though the owner was by no means a
chief among his people, the table
cloth, the napkins, the sheets, all of
them homemade, were bordered with
Cretan lace, the pillow-case a single
piece of the same rich material; the
counterpane was so gorgeous with
many colors that I did not refrain
from* expressing my admiration of it-
“Yes,” said my host, “my wife is of
a very good family, and knows the
old-fashioned ways of weaving which
her mother taught her.”
The cottage itself consisted of a
moderate-si zed room, with a gallery
for sleeping in, and two very small
ones, of which the larger was the
kitchen. The walls were not even
whitewashed, an<l the floor was of
mud; yet the spirit that reigned
there reconciled one to all. T dined
with great zest off English plates,
which are prized there as much as
Japanese crockery is in England; but
without wine, not a drop of which
was to he found in any of the. seven
villages—a significant fact. The wife
waited on us, for conjugal respect is
strictly enforced, while even suspect
ed infidelity is punished with death.
It is easy to believe how such a peo
ple hate and despise any one, be he
caimakam or be he “milordi,” who
attempts to introduce the viCes of
Western Europe into their mountain
retreats.

The Southern Presbyterian says;
“The German Government has taken
up the subject of perambulators, and
is dealing actively with the question.
It has approached it, however, front
a hygienic point of view, and not as
mere matter of public nuisance.
Perambulators are popular in Berlin,
and are used for very young chil
dren, and are of a peculiar form.
They are shaped somewhat like a so
fa, move on four wheels, and the i
children spend the greater part of the
day in them. Simultaneously with
their use lias come a remarkable mor
tality, or at least a delicacy among
the children who use them. Medical
men have taken up the subject, and
the result has been that the Board of I
Public Health has ordered an inqui- j
ry. The commissioners met and j
gravely inspected a collection of in
fants’ perambulators. They were of
all sizesand shapes, new and old and
of all colors. The age and the color
turned out to he a matter of some im
portance. Perambulators with us
are more generally dark green, or
brown or maroon. In Germany the
fashionable color is light gray, and
the stuffis almost invariably Ameri
can cloth. When this gray’ cloth was
subjected to analysis it was found to
be highly impregnated with lead.
More than forty-two per cent of its
whole weight was lead, and on burn
ing a little bit of the stuff the poison
ous metal rolled oft' in drops. The
cause of death or delicacy was no !
longer a matter of doubt. The com- j
missioners, however, continued their j
investigation, and ascertained that i
when the cloth is new the danger is j
least. It is only when wear or weath- I
er detaches the outer surface or skin I
of tile cloth that the poison begins to !
act. Then it becomes very active; for !
it enters the lungs with the air that '
is inhaled, and it fills the pores of the
skin by’ settling on the face and
hands in an impalpable dust. It is to |
he noted that these disagreeable qual- I
ities are not the property of all Amer- j
lean cloth, but only "cloth of that !
gray’ color which is employed so |
much abroad for the cushions of :
chairs, cabs and carriages, as well as :
for children’s perambulators. An j
analysis of brown and red cloth j
showed the presence of iron and ;
ocher as coloring matter, hut which j
are of course quite harmless.”

—An exquisite, leading a dog by a j
string, lounged up to the ticket office j
window of a railway station last
week and inquired: “Must I—aw
take a ticket for a puppy ?’ He was
naturally both surprised and annoy
ed when the ticket seller answered in
a slightly bewildered tone, after a mo
ment’s reflection: “No, you can trav-
•1 as an ordinary person.”
