their tomb cannot be suspected— uithoiil a siijn or trace to show where it was placed, mark-^ not mily the natural

in a resurrection even at this early age, lon^ before it was taUL;ht by Christ and ills disciples, and proved b\- the

Hut this -s a ili;^'ressi(in, and we must hasten on our way to J lUl'^Al.KM. liefore di.iiv.; -o, however, kt me
add one little word more in onclusion, as lon;4-winded parsons often say to their loHLj-sufftrini; ciiii^'ref,'ations towards

to denote immortalitx', nor marks of haviuL; been revisited after tlie hurried burial of the remains of oiir prob.'dily deeply
loved in life, but hid ,iwa\- and buried like the infected cast-off clothes of the dead leper
.Such is the effect of the relii,'ion of the S.idducee importeil into Islamism. As r<i;ardinL; the risurrection of the boc|y,
the followers of the Prophet do believe in the immortalit\' of the soul in a he.i\-en of srnsual delii.;lits.
It is a strange religion, baseil on the teachings of Moses and the faith of \br,ih.iin whom they n verence ,is an mi-
cestor — and the teachings of Christ, which arc' largi'ly embodied in the Koran ; ,uid this str,mge Tni\ture, it ciniioi |h- denied,
has a strong hold on the religious feelings of its followers.
It is |)owerl'ul in its innuence o\er their hearts anil livis. and is strongly m.inilest in their di'\otions ,ind religious obser-
v.uices. and is vigorous anil aggressive in its essence and being, and is g.iining ground everywhere, especially in the l-'.ast.
and in the Soudat,, whose loss to I'.gypt lately is as largely due to that cause, and hatred of ( hristian asceiuliincy, ,is to
misgovernment bv the Khedive, to which .Sir I'',veh-n Maring ascribes it.

On this side Ionian's wave.

There lies a loneh" .urave.
And no man Ijiiill that sepulchre.
And no man saw it e'er,
l"'or the angels of (lod iiplurned the sod.
And laid the dead man there.
That was the grandest liineral
'I'hal ever passed on earth.
Net no man hoard the trampliiy,
Nor saw the tram l;o forth'
Noiselessly as the sunlight
Comes back when night is done.
And crimson streak on Ocean's cheek
Orows into the gre.it sun.
So, without sotinil of music,
Or voice of those that wept.
Silently down the mountain's crown
The great procession swfpt.
I'erdiance the liald old enL;le
On grey lleth-peor's height.
Out of his lonely eyrie
Looked on the wondrous sight.
I'erchance the lion stalking
Still shuns the hallowed spot.

With cosily m.irble dresl
In the great minster Iransept.
Where lights like glories (all,
And the organ rings, ami the sucet choir sings
.•\long the einbla/oned wall.
This was the greatest warrior
That ever buckled sword
Thii the most gilted poet ^
That ever breathed a word'
And never Karths philosopher
Tr.ared with his golden |ien
On the tleathless page, truths half so sage

And had he not high honor ?

And stars for tapers tall '

I.iituhini; aiiil pur-.iiiti}; our dreary way, we arrived at last at Mar Saba in the twilij^ht. This fj|d monastery should be
seen first by twilit;ht or moonlit;lit to catch all the weird effect it is capable of Its monastery was founded by St. Saba,
it is saiil in the fifth e.-ntury, and hiis as much the ajipearance of a strong; fortress as of a monastery. No doubt in those days,
and e\cn initd '|uite V.iW times, siniitjth .ind iTieans of defence a;;ainst foreij^'n or Ik-douin attack were hi^dily necessary,
.mil ivin with .ill its strenj;th, it has been sacked and parti.dlj- destroyed several times. I was shown a chapel where the
■-itlc-, uire lincil by ioMi-barred receptacles, throuj^h whose bars could be .seen thousands of bones, and hundreds of skulls
of monk-, of the monaster)-, and hermits who lived in cells in the adjoininL; cliffs, killed by an e.Npeclilinii nf Persians in the
thirteenth century, liuilt half in the rock, half clinj^'inj,' to the sides nf the gorj^'e of the v.illey of the Kedron, here, deep,
narrow ;ind tortuous, the effect is novel in the extreme. This t;orL;e in the mountains throuijh which the Keilron passes on
its w.iy In the I le.id .Sea. is .at this place very ii.irrow and deep with almost perpenilicular sides, like the ^'ori,'e of Nia^;;ira
below the falls, but more perpendicular, more bold and rocky, ami tieeper. .Xbout midw.iy between the top and botttjm is
percheil the tnonastery, half excavated out of the cliff, and half built on projrctitiL; ledijes. Knockintj at the iron door of
the outer wall si .me w.iy below the top of the clilT, to which we have descendeil. and slvju-in.^C our permit from the (ireek
patri.irch in Jerusalem to pass the ni;.;ht there, wc were admitted without further delay, and walked down a staircase cut in

the chand)er of .\ mnnk or fri.ir, \-ou come at last to a sm.ill pl.ite.ui of rock on which the ch.ipel is built, directly below
which are the pil;_;rims' ret;i>'ns. There happened to be no other pilL,'rims there that nii;lit. so 1 had the ijrand room .ill to
myself .A t.d)li in the centre for my drai,'oman to spread his provisions upon, an oil lamp han^'inj,' over it, ,ind all around
the .ipartment. about l''i feet by 24 in ilimensions, ran a low, broad stone divan, covered with cushions and pillows and ru.L,'s
uhuh. with a he.ivy, thick, stuffed comforter furnished b>- the monks at bed-time, scrvinj; the pilj^riin for his bed, comprised
all the furniture of the room. No chari,'e is m.idc for this convenience to pilijrims, but you may leave with the monk in
ch,irL;e nf the apartment whatever you like for the general i)in-poses nf the mnnastery, and to <iefra\- the cost of those too
pnor tn ji.iy, .As it was the dinner hour of tin; monastery, 1 asked that a monk's portion should be sent to my tabic.

staircases in every direction, leadinL; to apartments dii;.; in the rock, refectories, and many a cell of monk from whose window
a lii,dit came, while the occupant within was countin:.; his rnsary upon his bended knee-, or tellin;..; o\ir .\ve M.iri.i^ or
I'ater Nosters in a dreamy way.
The effect of all these liL;ht-s coinin.L; out of the ^o'id f.ice of the rock was nio-t cuntui- ,ind n^ivel. Ju-t then a clock
'n the church tower tolled forth two. "Whatl two o'cloi k. W h.it kiml of time is that?" I .i^ked of my drai,'oman. "(Jh."
said he, " thoUL;li a (ireek monastery, they keep .\r.d)ic time. It be;_,'in-. with sunrise, and eruls with sun-el, for the hour-

IC.xaclly at miilniuiht 1 was awakened by the chapel bell rin;.;inj,' out loud and clear for the midnight mas-., and shortly
1 heard the tranipinv; footsteps and chauntini; voices of the monks t^oin;^ to chapel, and for some time after their voices
risint,' and fallin;^, now strong;, now- faint, .i- the m.i-^s went on, but I do not think I heard it all, for I had ridden a lon^'
day's ride that da)-. Poor monk! With his black bread and boiled Indian corn messes, and his miilni}.;!!! ma-ses, with
prayers and beails between, I aim ^lad I am not in his place-, I lhou<;ht, as I droppi-d off to sleep aj;ain.
That it is not ahva\-s peace and harmony in this pi. ice, or that the ri;;oi-ous rei.;imen of f,i,tmi; and praying' havi- en-
tirely reduced their spirits to subjection, and utterly rooted out the old .\ilam forever, is (juite (videiil, iicpw and then, by

he pilL;riins' ,i|iartm(;nt, cariymi^ our provisions with us The latter were not s(j necessar\- here as at the (ireek convent,
this beiiiL; a l.,itiii one, ,iiid f,ir superior to the (ireek rmes in comfort ,ind evervthin;^ that iiertains to civilization. Here
_\ciu may have a chamber to yourself, instead of sleeping in a common room with other pilL;rinis, often very dirty, if of the
fireek persuasion. Here. too. you can have a decent, comfortable. Christian bed. instead of a stone divan, to sleep upon.
Here voii will lind ,1 comfortable "s.ille a maHLjer " Iuiiil; round with [)ictures of saints and martyrs, some of considerable
merit, .md a table, clean, tiily — all most invitintjly clean. Here you may have coffee, with milk from the refectory, and
eijLjs, ,uid wholesome, well-made soup, or .mythinj; else that you wish to call for, .served with a smilinfj welcome and grace
th.it .ilw.iys disiin;4uishes the Latin race frc in all others,
llavini; dined like a i)rince, and paid in my contribution to the jioor fund of the convent, we again took up our course
for 1 b bron.
Till -e roiueiits, both Latin and fireek, and .Armenian as well, arc really doing a great deal of good, scattered through-
out the eiiimtr\- as the\- ,ire. They are a great convenience to the poor pilgrim. .Any pilgriin may receive, on application
to the p,ilii,ui.h, .1 iKTinil to enter one of the convents, and to be entertaineil with boanl such as it is, and lodging free
for one ni;_;hl or s, M-ral nights, but the limit is two weeks. He may give or not, as he is able. For ni.my it is impos-
sible to make .iny nturn, and it is known on their entrance, but they are alw.ays treated kindly. While the convents
