The Plain Of Philistia.
upon the site of some orchard which has been covered perhaps for hundreds of years . You suddenly come upon a sort of crater in the sand , 40 ft . deep , at the bottom of which flourishes an apple tree ; then you come upon a fig tree growing in the same manner , and lastly upon a little patch of
ground , quite below the level of the sand , with a house attached ; but even this patch of ground has several feet of sand over it . The husbandman's chief duty appears to consist in dragging up the sand in baskets from the bottom of the craters to the surface . The trees growing in these little
hollows are very fruitful , and no wonder , for they have no wind , plenty of sun , and good moist earth to growin , thesuperincumbentsandbeinganon-conductor , prevents evaporation from the soil below , and keeps it moist through the summer . During the time I was in Philistia , I examined
and surveyed 800 square miles , and my time was so fully taken up with the work by day and night , that there was little time for any other examination ; the latitude and longitude of more than 200 points on this plain are now fixed and published for the first time . —Quarterly Statement of the Palestine Exploration Fund .
The Siege Of Damascus.
THE SIEGE OF DAMASCUS .
BY MARIA J . BISHOP . Damascus had surrendered , and the frightened Christians , long deprived of help , had reluctantly lowered the Cross , as the Crescent flashed along the walls . The richer merchants and citizens had
left the place , under a safe conduct from Saladin , and those who remained—chiefly the poorer classes and women—sought in vain to escape through the strongly-barred and guarded portal . It was the evening of theconquest , when an Emir , whose jewelled turban and the rich baldric which
bound his breast , proclaimed him a leader in thc Saracen host , entered the pavilion of the Moslem monarch . His dark , flashing eye , and the perfect symmetry of his form and features , were not unlike those of the former , while the restless glance and proud curl of thelip told of ambition more eager , if
not more boundless , than his brother ' s . "How , Mclek ? " said the Sultan , without lifting his eyes from the dispatches before him . " Do the Christians rally , or has tlie success which the Prophet hath granted subdued , at length , their proud spirit ?"
" They sue for mercy , my Lord , " replied the Emir ; " and , sooth to say , it pities me to sec the poor and trembling to remain , yet unable to pay the tribute gold . I would give Damictta as their ransom ?" " Go , Melck ; let them take oath they have not
the required gold ; give them a drachma , and dismiss them at the gate . " The Emir bowed till his glittering turban touched the hand of his brother , and hastened to fulfil his errand .
All night the wretched fugitives poured through the city gate ; old men tottering on thc arm of some son or daughter ; women , whose pale checks and unbound tresses told their distress ; children , hand in hand , bowed their lips to the crossand passed
, the heathen guard , receiving a piece of silver at the gate , until at length the tall spires of the minarets began to glitter with the coming dawn . " Back ! back ' . " cried the guard , as thc fugitives still pressed on , - ' the ransom is ended . "
A wild shriek rose in concert from thc throng , as , wild with terror , they saw themselves hemmed in by the scimitars of thc troops . As the sun rose clear , banners were seen advancing , ancl , heading his splendid guard , Saladin advanced , borne on his jet-black steed . His kingly
eye swept for a moment the crouching thron" of fugitives , then , turning to Melek , he said : ° ' Brother , you have performed your alms ; now let me bestow mine . " And , waving his hand , he ordered thc gate to be flung wide , bidding the crowd pass through .
Placing a guard in the mosques and palaces , Saladin , m a few clays , left the city , knowing his possession of the city would be contested . Meanwhile the Christians were not idle . A large body of Templars had moved across the desert , under their indomitable leader , Reginald dc St . Aldemar , and few of
leaving a their number to defend Jerusalem , had rapidly crossed thc plains ofthe Jordan . While Saladin had drawn towards the mountains , the bravest of his Emirs , Mustapha Achmet , with ten thousand Kurds and Saracens , hastened to intercept their path . ,., . . P kuns around the city were crowded with
Christian fugitives , when , like a black cloud , thc Moslems swooped upon them . Rapidly thc Saracens swept down from the surrounding hills , until the plain was white with flashing turbans , their aark , swarthy brows and jewelled vestments moving strangel y among the motley crowd of Jews and Uiristians . Suddenly on the heights which skirted itie Lebanon Range the tall forms ancl mail-clad
The Siege Of Damascus.
horses of the Templars appeared like a serried phalanx . The terrified women and children saw their danger , and clung to one another in despair . The Templars saw it , too , and instantly staying charge , pressed back their horses until they reared .
It was a goodlysight as theyrangedrank on rank , the noblest soldiery in Christendom , their long lances held in rest , and their noble countenances seen through the raised visor . The glittering cross of the order flashed in the beams of the morning , as it towered over the crested helmets below .
For a moment all seemed uncertain . The crowd of helpless beings , at the mercy of the foe , blanched the brow of those who would have faced a thousand infidels . A moment only intervened , and Mustapha , whose cruelty equalled his renown , ordered the helpless
band to be massacred . As the death-shriek arose , the trumpets of the knights sounded . A shout arose that shook the rocks around : " For the Temple ! for the Temple ! Ha , Beausant ! " And , in thundering charge , they swept down upon the heathen host .
Back and forward surged the tide of battleswords met and mail rang on mail . The countless throngs of . Saracens , borne back by the irresistible charge of the knights , again and again rallied , and hung like dark masses of clouds on the horizon . Apart from the main tide of battle , one knight
had long contended with unequal odds . Many a swarthy foe had fallen before his arm . As he turned to rejoin the ranks a cry of pain met his ear , and pausing near the spot , the tones of a female voice were distinctly audible . Advancing in the direction whence it proceeded , he beheld a being of singular
loveliness kneeling in the tangled shade of the forest . Her face , of exquisite beauty , was clouded by pain and fear , and the heavy masses of her hair , which veiled her slight figure , were wet with blood . Eustace de Vincent gazed for a moment on the sufferer , and then , to a few entreating words in
Norman-French , promised the protection sought . Binding up , with the skill taught by the rules of his order , the arm of the maiden , he consigned her to the guard of his squires , with orders to convey her from the field , and remounting , galloped back to the host . The day pressed hard upon the Templars ,
outnumbered six to one . They fought long and well , but as their war-cry grew fainter , the horde of Saracens yelled louder and louder . In vain they charged with sweeping blows the scattered front of the foe . In vain they thronged to fill the places of the fallen . Fresh enemies assailed them , and the field , heaped with slain , seemed yet alive with
countless foes . At length , facing thc foe , with the guarded banner in thc midst , slowly they began the retreat . Avoiding their charge , like that of a roused lion , the Saracens kept at bay , their unerring arrows from a distance making some steeds run mastcrless over
the plain . One by one thc companions fell , and their war-cry , " For the Temple ! " quivered from white lips , as they were trampled under the horses ' feet . At length Aldemar , with a band of twenty lances ofthe hundreds he had that morning led , arrived at
the margin of a stream that wound its thread of silver through the sands . The " Ullahs " of thc infidels rang faintly as they plunged into the wave , and , for a moment halting , looked again towards Damascus . Among thc survivors was De Vincent , who held
the rank of Preceptor , ancl was accounted one ofthe bravest knights in Christendom . Turning to the leader , from whose side the blood ( lowed rapidly , . he said : " Yonder city , most noble Master , claims my vow . Christians arc clving there—one I have pledged to
save . With six lances , and alone , I must return to redeem my word . " " Go , my brother , if mercy calls thee , " said the dying leader , as , falling from his horse , his eyes rested on the banner-cross , and then glazed in the fixed stare of death .
Trailing their lances in the dust , six knignts followed Dc Vincent , leaving the remainder to guard thc body of the fallen chief . Winding through circuitous paths , a few hours brought them under the walls of Damascus , ancl at an angle of the wall where a sallyport had been left
unguarded , De Vincent stationed his forlorn hope . Midnight hacl scarcely arrived when thc postern was opened , and a young man , whose black hair and beard spoke Oriental lineage , stood before thc knights . " Silence , and the cityis yours , " he said . " Follow me !"
Swiftly leading thc way up a winding stair , which opened on a courtyard , they found themselves in presence ofthe guard , who , secure in fancied safety , were sleeping heavily . A thrust , quickly given , prevented all outcry , and , from the door of a smalt tower emerging upon the rampart , thc knights , t closely following each other , sounded their terrible

war-cry , and charged the astonished Saracens . A fierce conflict ensued , as the panic-struck foe fled before their dauntless assailants . " Fly , Andreas , and raise the standard of the cross on thewall ! " said the girl , as she stood
listening to the clash of arms , which reached the most distant quarter ofthe city . " Nay , brother , do you falter ? " she added , as the youth who had opened the postern hesitated ; "then will I . "
She sprang to the rampart , and , with her arm bound by a scarf , seized a battle-axe , and dealt blow after blow on the heathen banner-staff . Andreas hastened to the aid of his heroic sister , ancl striking down a Turk stealthily advancing towards her , soon , by their united efforts , the cross once more
arose above the walls . Cries of triumph soon echoed below , as De Vincent , opening the gates , welcomed back the Christians , who thronged to the aid ofthe Templars ; and as the knight , now commander of Damascus , trod the rampart , he recognised in the form fallen
before the standard his protege of the battle-field , whose white garments hacl rendered her too conspicuous a mark for the heathen shaft ; and as the soldiers raised the light form upon their breekles , a moan burst from the lips of all as they gazed on the still , marble face . The Greek girl was dead . —The Landmark .
