I The following is an extract from P Wilde's Nar- rativc, giving a gronhic descriDtion of the hill country of Judca, which will bo read with deep " The hill country is entered bv a narrow nass at a , place called Ledron, where are the remains of an old foit. and tho Gothic arches of a ! larrm church. The former Was n robn h v. fr rtrA .it n resting place and also as a dclencc-for the niUrims. as this spot has ever been the haunt ofhcj Arab robbers, be vera! flocks of cazclles bounded across our path, and numerous herds of small b!ackx goats, with long silken hair, and beautiful pcndantWs almost reaching to the ground, followed thd steps of the coat-herd as ha lnrl thpm mountain passes. The tinkling of their little cop bellswhen heard amoniz -those soli'arv hills through which our road lay, had a pleasing t fleet, aftd helpnd the tedium of our way. We had reach ed the hill country of Judea, and a complete change came over the scent?. Tho . v wn'c n. lnn r. freshed with the verdant sward, and .the beauty If the plain which we had traversed after leaving Joppa ; the hum of the bees, the low of cattle, and even the music of the goat a bell were no longer heard. A solemn stillness reirn.Q irl hnn oinvnu-A regions ; the hills of i which r!so inlatuphiiheatres, or rather in concentric circles, onejabive another. The strata of gray limestone protrudes its Inakt d head through these hills at regular intervals, like so many seats in a stadium : there is no vestice of human beings, a,pd the ?oad becomes a mere horse iracK, wnn scarcely room for two to pass abreast ; yeij the dreariness and monotony occasionally relieved by valleys ol the view is and ravines, clothed with low woods of dwarf oak: Which iwere then putting" forth their young leaves and long green catkins ; and! heVc, for the first time in our travels, we met with the thorn becoming, white with blossom, and reminding usf the lawns and he Jge. rows of our own far 'distant omcs.

Much was originally, and miicbcould still be: effected in the growth of 'the vine and the olive on the sides of these hills.- Thoscnvho fexclaim against the unfertility nnd barrenness of thiscoun. try, should recollect that want of cultivation gives it much ot the sterile and barren aphearance which it how presents to the traveler. JTho plough irr use in that country is one of the rudest, instruments of the kind that I have ever seenl It resembles the ancient Egyptian plough, and itloes little more than scratch the soil, making a furrow scarcely more than three inches in depth About 'midway to Jerusalem, we passed through a decp! narrow goiKc, wooded to an extent that we could scarcely have.imagined,jfrora the rocky and biarren oesert in which it is situalcd. The -ascent out! of this valley is fearfully precipitousand lias long been noticed in modern history as the tiding place, or fastness of the lawless Bedawec. j " Some time: preyious to our visit j a large band rof Egyptian cavalry were completely destroyed in this ravine, i ne uugc tocks, uie eiuse wuuus on either , side, and the overhanging crags; form a complete cover! for jibe enemy who might attack the largest body of men passing through it, while they would remain! securo" from harm, especially from horsemen. Thanks to the talc of j Ibrahim Pacha, whatever be his faults, anc I believe he has many, we passed this part of Ptrttstine in perfect security, and without the slightest interruption. h the bottom of the ravi ne , is a rui ncd khan, o ve r- lung bv some splendid lotus trees ; and by the way. side, wsrc some enormous rocks,! which, in seve- ral places, contained excavations under which we rested for some time, enjoying their cool shade, thankful in a country like this, for those injestima. ble blessings -j-a well of water, and the shadow of a great rock ih a weary land1 blessings that ran onlv bo known and appreciated by those who' may havo pantea pn me imrsiy rnaumuui s,tue ur oiled in the heat ot the day over trie areary waste of the eastern desert. - 41 An hour and a half's ride then brought us to the Tercbinthine vale, memoruble as the battle field on which the strippling son of Jesse; pros- trated the vaunting champion of the Philistines. A ha fro w bridge he fe crosses a small jst rea m , in wnicn it is saiu ui , yuuuuui hih.umhwhi with the smooth pebbles, one of which laid Goliah in the dust, and achieved a glorious victory ior tne army of Israel.

The hill to the left is now occupied py a.consiaeraoie village of low, square Arab huts, j Along tho banks of the rivulet, are; some lovely gardens, adorned with apple jtrcesapneots, almond trees, orange and acacia rrovesi together with rose-iaureis, ngs, U Iifin.t I'll i 1w-.Tn4 and sycamores. , aii. me nm tuuuuj jwiuugcu, origin'hllv, to thef Philistines, whoso feelings and babitst like those of other mountaineers, were deeply tinged by the wild scenery nmiost wnicn they dwelt! and the mode of life, which they pur. sued, nil of which, dotjblless, contribute in fdrm infrthinr warlike disposition. i The inhabiiants of this country are considered what is usually ' called a bad set ; and they gave much annoyancejlo the Bashaw while he was en camped at!
