JERUSALEM WITHOUT THE WALLS.

 "lhe evening of the day that we had thus taken our first ramble without the walls of Jerusalem was most beautiful The sun was fast declining, when, after a slight repast,I mounted flight of steps, leading to the top of the city wall, close to our tents, where pacing up and down upon the broad walk which runs around the whole city guarded by the battlemens upon the outer side, l gazed upon the extensive view stretching northward of Jerusalem, towards the hills of Ramah, at that hour rendered almost benuti- full, in spite of barren rocky soil, by the soft ening light of evening. The foreground of this view is much relieved by groves of olive trees, with here and there terenith, aksor~ ding 10 the inhabitants lux lrians shade, en- toying which they wander over the northern portion of that site of the ancieal city in me- ditative solitude, or lounge wilh Their friends and families upon the banks and knoIs Such groups enlivened the scene tbs evesssag, iies9 hearted noisy Greeks making her groves ring with camorous merriment, grave Armenians marching on, staid in gait and sad Ill habit, strongly contrasting with the tlppant gansly son of Greece, the metal 'sozleageh,9 or ink horn, within the small binding their loose tunc, taking the place of the long barresss1 pistols and treacherous daeg@ss which grace the girde of the snowy .'hayms.n Then came --the.. melancholy Jew, as staid in aspect as in dress, humbly standing aside to let the scornful Turk, his oppressor, pass by haugh- tily; whilst now and then, but very rarely, might be seen a wild son of the desert, from the neighborhood of Jericho, and the banks of the Jordan, cantering by upon ragged steed, with richly-fringed scarf bound care lessly around his head, flying in the wind, the rude sabre knife in his girdle, and an enor- mously long lance in hand. saw but one such figure pass this evening, and he, dashing his shovel stirrups in his Eorse's ribs, gallop- ped off as if he felt himself out of bounds: indeed it is but rarely that the Arab of the Syrian deserts is to be seen in full costume so close to Jerusalem; for they have many sins to answer for to the Pasha, and there fore generally avoid attracting attention. Be- meath large and beautiful terebinth, near the northwest corner of the city wall, one group excited my attention more particularly this evening. it was chiefly composed ofTurkish women, several ofthem evidently young, and apparently fair, as far as it was possible to judge from the small portion of the face the jealous 5orneo, or veil, left exposed,"-Bor- Ter.
