Notes From the Holy Land The Cincinnati Gazette is publishing a set ies of letters from Egypt and from the East, which we .extract the following description of locality dear to the heart* of every true Christian : GA MW INKS OX OLIVET. It was a favorite idea with our party to spend onr last evening in Jerusalem, on the Mount of Olives. We desiro-to see the run set and rise again on the city, and quietly to dwell for a little season amidst those localities most familiar in the history of the Saviour and most dear in the associations of his people. Accordingly we had our tents pitched near the summit, the day before we left,, and agreed on meeting in them for a late dinner Not waiting for the rest, I left the ehy in the middle of the afternoon, and disc'nding in the vailcy of Jchosa phat by the usual way crossed to GETUSEMAXE. The inclosed pardon is on the fjrst rise of the bill after crossing. I had been around it, and under the scattered old dive trees repeatedly before,but had nev er entered the inclosure. Now 1 had ob tained admission, and spent some time amidst its walks. The exact locality of Gethscmar.e is unknown, and the taste is very questionable which has turned the supposed locality into a tea garden, yet anywhere in litis neighborhood one feels the impression of that most sadhjsublime scene in the Baviours history, when he agonized ‘‘with strong crying and tears,” with ‘‘sweat as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground.” Yet, woubl you believe if, that even over a lo cality so hallowed the sects ere at strife; and the Greeks, dissatisfied that the Lat ins have a monopoly of Gcthsemane, ara preparing a Gethscmanp of their own,, having some time Since inclosed it and now keeping it waiting for the trees to get a little older before opening it and pooelaiinirig it the garden. At least wo were so informed. , -, Near the garden is a grotto fitted np with an altar ip which the disciples are said to have slept while the Saviour pray ed. And a little farther off—down in the bottom of the valhy—is the alleged tomb ts the Virgin, from which they say she was rapt bodily into heaven. The chappel Luilt over this tomb is also con veniently made to inclose the tombs of JQsephj the husband of Mary, and Joa chim and Anna, her parents. And this, when the Third General Council of the Church held at Ephesus declared that, the Virgin was buried in that city, and in the Church in which the Lounc.lwas met ! You pay you money, and taka your choice. C'IiUKCII or TilE ASCENSION. On the very summit of Olivet is a mosque, (he top of whose minaret com mands a view, in some respect the most interesting in the world. The view is pan ramie, hut enough for you there that Jerusalem is at vour feet, while behind you is. a long stretch ofihe Dead Sea and the Jordan Valley, with the blue moun tains of Jvloub hejpnd rising in bold and grand relief. • Within the inefosire of this mosque is a small nets.renal chapel, which has replaced the old Church of the Ascen sion. This chapel is bare of furniture, and captains nothing of interest, except a stone, from which, as is alleged, our Lord rose to heaven. A depression in the surface of the stone, not much in the shape of a foot, is alleged to have been tins last earthly footstep. As our Saviour is known to have ascended from a part of 1113 Mount t early a mile from here, af Bethany, the invention of *he stone and footstep lias hardly a sufficient amount of plausibility to make it even amusing.— But I find the Moslem door-keeper, mount my hopse, and ride over to BETHANY. The vitlirsge of. Martha and Mary is farther down the eastern side of Oivet than I had imagined. Even from the minaret just spoken of no part of the village can be seen, it being sitaated un der a declivity oh the mountainside. Thi rr is' no attraction in the village itself, The houses arc humble, being small r.nd fiat roefed. Yet they are built of substantial stone, whi h redeem them from contempt. The streets are, perhap«, a tittle less filthy than those of most Syria’.; villages of similar size. The surround ing country is beautifully picturesque, and the appearance of the almond and fig trees, and grain fields was, at time of my visit, inviting. Difficult, it may have been, yet it was not utterly impossible to think of this place as the Jerusalem home of our Saviour, and ol its neighbor hood as the scene ( f one of his most stu pendous miracles. The reputed tomb of Lazarus is on the northern ride ol the village. A long flight of sf ops deepnds down to a spacious chamber, and a low passage way leads front tills into a smaller chamber, in which the body is said to have laid. Whethep or not this was the actual tomb of Laza rus, i was glad to see it. as exhibiting a specimen of the tombs anciently prepar ed for the dead of Bethany. From t such a grave as this, it- not from this it self, we may tl iuk that Lazarus MM .forth, at the bidding of the omnipotent word of Jesus. . ■ ' • , 1 • * ■ , z4l LblW The North Carolina tolacco ervf *»s failure. ” *■* «***•*
