MISCELLANY.
Tim Holy Land—Jcrti.HlPm. The Temple
BY UARBIET MABTINRAU.
My room opened upon a little terrace.—the
flat roof of a lower apartment in our inn at
Jerusalem, anil from this little ternre I was
never tired of gazing. A considerable por
tion of the city was spread out below me ; not.
with its streets laid open to view, its it would
be in one of our cities; but presenting a col
lection of Hat roofs, with small white cupolas
rising front them, and the minarets of the
mosques springing, tall ami light as the pop
lar from the long grass of the meadow. The
narrow, winding lanes, which arc the streets
of Kasterii eities, tire scarcely traceable from
:i bight : hut there was one visihft; from our
terrace, —with its rough pavement of large
stones, the high house walls on each side, nnd
the arch thrown over it, which are so f tmiliar
to all who have seen pictures of Jerusalem.—
This street is called the Via Lfolorosn, the
Mournful way, from its being supposed to he
the way hy which Jesus went from the Judg
ment Hull to Calvary, bearing his cross. Ma
ny times in a day my eye followed the wind
ings of this street, in which I rarely sow any
one walking; and when it was lost among the
buildings near the walls, I looked over to the
hill which bounded our prospect; —nml that
hill was the Mount of Olives. It was then
the time of full moon, ami alter evening I used
to lean on the parapet of the terrace, watch
ing for the coming up of the large yellow moon
from behind the ridge of Olivet. Hy day the
slopes of the Mount were green with the
springing wheat and dappled with the shade
of the Olive clumps. Hy night, those chimps
nnd lines of the trees were dark amid the
lights and shadows cast hy the moon; and
they guided the. eye, in the absence of day
light, to the most interesting [mints, —the de
scent to the brook Kcdron. the road to Beth
any, nnd the place whence Jesus is believed
to have looked over upon the noble city when
he pronounced its doom. Such wns the view
from our terrace.
One of our first walks was along the Y T ia
Doloroso. There is a strange charm in the
streets of Jerusult m.frorn the picturesque char
acter of the walls and archways. The old
walls of yellow stone are so beautifully tufted
with weeds that one longs to paint every an
gle and projection, with their mellow coloring,
and dangling and trailing weeds. And the
shadowy archways, where the vaulted roofs
intersect each other, till they are lost in the
! dazzle of the sunshine beyond, are a perpetual
| treat t., tlieeyc. The pavement la tlw wont I
| ever walked on ; —large, slippery stones slant
ing all manner of way.-. Passing such weed
y walls and dark archways as I have mention
ed, we turned into Via Doloroso, arid followed
it as far the as GovernorVHouse, which stands
where Fort Antonia stood when Pilate there
tried him in whom lie found, as he declared,
no guilt. Here we obtained permission to
mount the roof
Why did we wish it ? For reasons of siteh
force as 1 despair of making understood by
any but to those whom the mime ol the Tem
ple has been sacred to the earliest years. —
None but Mohomedans may enter the inclos
ure now; no Jew nor Christian. The Jew
and Christian who repel each other in Chris
tian lands are under the same ban here.—
They are alike excluded from the place where
Solomon built and Christ Sanctified the tem
ple of Jehovah ; and they are alike mocked
and insulted, if they draw near the gates. —
Os course, we wcie not satisfied without see
ing till we could see of this plaee—now occu
pied by the mosque of Omar —the most sacred
spot to the Mohamedans, after Mecca. We
could sit under the Golden Gate, outside the
walls: we could measure with the eye, from
the bed of the brook of Kcdron, the l.ight of
1 the walls which crowned Moriah, and from a
i mid wliieh o.iee arose the Temple courts; we
could sit where Jesus sat on the slope of Olivet,
and look ever to the bight whence the glori-
I ous Temple once commanded the Valley of
j Jehoshaphat, which lay between us and it:
but this was not enough, if we could see more.
We had gone to the threshold of one of the
gates, as far as the Faithful permit the infi
del to go: and even there we hud insulting
warnings not to venture farther, and were
! mocked hy little boys. From this threshold
Iwe had looked in ; and from the top of the
| city wall we had looked down upon the inclo
j sure, nnd seen the external beauty of the
’ buildings, and the pride and prosperity of the
{ Mohammedan usurpers. But we couhl see
yet more from the roof of the Governor’s house:
and there we went accordingly.
The enclosure was spread out like a map
I below us; and very beautiful was the mosque
built of variegated marbles, and its vast dome,
and its noble marble platform, with its Hights
of steps and light arcades; and the green
; lawn which sloped away all around, and the
row of cypress trees under which a company
of worshipers were at their prayers. But how
couhl we, coming from a Christian land, at
tend much to present things, when the sacred
Past seemed spread before our eyes? 1 was
looking almost all the while, to see where the
Sheep-gate was, through which the lambs lor
sacrifice were brought: and the Water-gate,
: through which the priest went down to the
spring of Siloam for water for ritual purifica
tion. I saw where the Temple itself must
have stood, and planned how far the outer
courts extended. —the Court of the Gentiles,
the Court of the Women, the Treasury, where
the chest stood on the right of the entrance
; and the right hand might give without the
I left hand knowing: and the place where the
scribes sat to teach, and where Christ so
taught in their jealous presence as to make
converts of those who were sent to apprehend
him. 1 saw whereabouts the altar must have
stood, ami where arose, night and morning,
for long centuries the smoke of the sacrifices.
1 saw where the golden vine must have
hung ils clusters on the front of the Holy
Place, and where, again, the innermost cham
ber must have been.—the Holy of Holies, the
dwelling-phiee of Jehovah, where none hut
the High Priest might enter, untl he only once
a year. These places have been laminar to
my mind’s eye tioin my youth up; almost as fa
miliar as my own house; and now 1 looked
at the very ground they had occupied, and Ihe
very scenery they had commanded, with an
emotion that the ignorant or careless reader of
tile New Testament could hardly conceive
of. And the review of time wus hardly less
interesting than that of place. Here, my
thoughts were led buck to the early days when
David and Solomon chose the ground, and
leveled the summit of Mount Moriah mu! be
gan the Temple of Ji hovah. I couhl see the
lavishing of Solomon’s wealth upon the edi
fice, and the hill of its pomp under invaders who
worshipped the sun; nnd the rebuilding in the
ditysol Nehemi ih, win n the eiti/.i ns winked
at the walls with arms in their girdles ; nnd
in the Atll glory and security (as most oi the
| Jews thought) of their Temple while they paid
1 tribute to the Homans. O I the proud Mo
hammedan* belbrc my eyes were very like
[tbe promt Jews, who mocked at the idea that
j their temple should be thrown down. I saw
now the urea where they stood in their pride,
jand where before u generation bad passed
i away, mi stone was left ujioii another, and
| tbe plow was brought to tear up the Inst re
j mam# ot the Inundations. Having witnessed
this heart-rending sight tiic Jews were bun
ished from the city, and were not even per
mitted to see llicir /.ton from nliir oil. In the
age of Constantine tliey were allowed to np
pionehsoas to see I he city from the surrounding
hills; —a mournful liberty, like that of permit
ting mu uxile to see his native shores from
the sea, but never laud. At length, tbe Jews
VOL. XXV.—No. 31.
were allowed to purchase of the Homan sol
diers leave to enter Jerusalem once a year,—on
the tlay when the city fell before Titus.
And what to do ? How did tliey spend
that one day ol the year t 1 will tell, tor I saw
it. The mournful custom abide# to this day.
I have said how proud and prosperous look
ed the Mosque of Omar, with its marble
buildings, its grecen lawns, and gaily dressed
people.—some at prayer under the cypresses,
some conversing under the arcades ; —female
devotees in white sitting on the grass, and
from the crevices of the stones, i. the only part
remaining of the old Temple wall; and here
the Jews come every Friday, to their place of
Wailing, as it is called, to mourn over the fall
of their Temple, and pray liir its restoration.—
What n contrast did these humble people pre
sent to the proud Mohammedans within!—
The women were seated in the dust, —some
wailing aloud, some repeating prayers with
mo\ing lips, and others reading them fro.n
books on their knees. A few children were
at play on the ground : nnd ;onn’ aged men
sat silent, their heads droopedon their breast
Several younger men were leaning against
the wall, —pressing their foreheads against
the stones, ami resting their books on their
clasped hands in the crevices. With some,
this wailing is no form: for 1 saw tears on their
cheeks, I longed to know if any had hope in
their hearts, that they or their children ol any
generation should pass that, wall, and should
help to swell the cry “ Lift up your heads. O
ye gates, that the King of glory may come in
If they have any such hope; it may give some
sweetness to this rite of humiliation. We had
no such hope tiir them ; and it was with un
speakable sadness that I. throne turned nway
from the thought of the pride nnd tyranny
within those walls, and the desolation
without, carrying with a deep-lelt lesson on
the strength of human faith, and the weak
ness of the tie of brotherhood.
Alas! all seem weak alike. Look at the
three great places of prayer in the Holy
City ! Here arc the Mohammedans eager
to kill any Jew or Christian who may enter
the the Mosque of Omar. There are the
Christians ready to kill any Mohammedan or
Jew who may enter the church of the Holy
Sepulchre. Ami here are the Jews pleading
against their enemies,—“Remember, O Lord,
the children ot Edom in the day of Jerusalem,
who said raze it, raze it, even to the founda
tion thereof O, daughter of Babylon that art
to be destroyed, happy shall lie be that re
wardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy
shall he he that taketh and dasheth thy little
ones against the stones!” Such are the
tilings done and said in the name of Religion !
The Flowers nnd the Coffin.
Last week I was at a funeral. Two rooms
were filled with friends, who had come to at
tend the burial of a little girl. Her body lay
in a coffin, on a marble, table in the middle of
the parlor. Her sweet lips were closed, and her
hands, folded over her bosom, were us cold as
marble.
By the side of the coffin was u silver cup.
such as children use, ami in it was a bunch
of fresh flowers. 1 dare say it was Emily’s
cup. Whenever her father and mother look
at it. they will always think of their child who
used to drink out of it.
It may be sorrowful to see those sweet
flowers hy the side of a corpse. They were
beautiful, but they were sad. Emily wus
like these flowers. She grew up. and was as
lovely as they. Now she is cut down and
withered.
• In a few hours the flowers will be dead al
so.—But here is the difference. The flowers
will never bloom again. They nre gone for
ever. But Emily is not gone forever. That
little body will live again. Christ takes care
of it in the grave. 1 saw it put into the deep,
dark, cold vault. Christ was buried in the
same wav in the sepulchre. But he arose
again, and that is a sign that F.niily will rise
again, too. As surely as Jesus rose so surely
will he raise this dear little one.
When these flowers die, all is over with
them. All their gay colors, all their sweet
perfumes, are lost. But all is not over with
F.milv. Her soul is not lost. It is with Christ.
It is better to be with him than to be with us.
The soul shall he joined to the body at the re
surrection. Then soul and body vvill be hap
py to all eternity. This is what I thought on
looking at the silver cup and flowers beside
tiie coffin. — Youth’s Penny Gazette.
Flight ot Horses.
About the 10th of July 1810, at two o’clock in the
morning, white Col. R. M. Johnson’s regiment was en
camped on the Peninsular, below Fort Wayne, in a
beautiful grass plain, some of the horses that had pass
ed the line of sentinels and got some distance up the St.
Joseph,became alarmed and came running into the
camp in great fright. This nlnrmed all the horses In
the regiment, winch united in a solid column within the
lines, and took three courses round the camp. It would
seem almost incredible, but it is a fact, they appeared
not to cover more than almut forty or sixty yards of

The moon shone at the full, the camp waa an open
pluin, and the scene awfully sublime. They at length
forced their pissnge through the line*, overset several
tents, nnd carried nway several pannels of fence, pass
ing of! through the woods,and were,in a lew minutes,
out of hearing of the loudest bells that belonged to the
regiment. The neat tlay was spent in collecting them,
some of which were found teu or twelve miles from
iho camp up the St Joarpli, nnd about twenty or twen
ty-five were never found, although pursued above twen
ty miles. Tills alarming flight of horses ol that regi
ment injured them more than could lie supposed, lor
they had run so long in n compact body that very lew
escaped being lamed, having their hind leet cut by the
shoM of those that crowded on them. The writer of

Scenes that boggard all description. A similar flight
of horses took pluce about the 88d of June, after the

A HYMN OF JOY.

And n.v heart is witlt gladness stirred ;

For tite bright fountain where music has birth.
For tlie pattering rain-drops’ gentle fa, I.
Fur the cuekoo’s note ami the whippoorwill's call,
For tlie green woodlands, when summer winds sigh.
For tlie lutes cups, ami die violet's eye.
