BETHLEHEM AND JERUSALEM. From a work entitled "Incidents of Travel in Egypt . Arabia Petrcca,and the Holy Land," by an American., Bethlehem. About half an hour from Hebron, we came to a valley, supposed to be the Vale of Eshcol, where the spies sent out by Moses found the grapes so heavy that to carry one bunch it was necessary to suspend it on a pole. On the right we passed a ruined wall, by some called the Cave of Macphelah, or Sepulchre of the Patriarchs; but which the Jews at Hebron had called the House of Abraham. We were on our way to Bethlehem, I had hired mv

the grotto, is a semi-circular recess, lined and floored with srnnll blocks of mat ble; and in the centre a s liver star, with the inscription, '-Hie natus est Jesu Chrisms de Virga," (here Christ was born of the Virgin.) The star in the east, which went before trie wise men, savs

the tradition, rested over tins spot, and fourteen lamps.

the gifts of Christian princes, burning night and day, constantly illume the birth-place of salvation toa ruined word. On the right, descending two step", is a chamber, paved and lined with marble, having at one end a block polished and hollowed out ; and this is the man

ger in which our Savior was laid. Over the altar is a
