There were no giant frag- ments of hoar antiquity as in Egy no re- mains of graceful and harmonious cep as in Greece and Italy, no barbaric gorgeous. ness as in the buildings of India; yet the view Was strange, unique; and how few have look- ed upon the celebrated shrine! I may truly say, thatof all the worshippers who clung ng to the curtain, er who pressed their beating hearts to the stone, none felt for the moment a deeper emotion than did the Haji from the far north.

We have heard New Englanders complain bitterly of the bad effect upon the reputation of Eastern men, in the Southern and Western States, produced by the conceited meddle- someness of the stupid negro worshippers, in their attempted abolition colonization of Kan- sas. The people at the South and the West are accustomed to see Mormonism, Millerism, Know Nothingism, Niggerism, snd ail the rest of the brood of crotchety isms coming to them from the Eastern States, like the Yan- kee pedlers, some of whom are notorious for sharp bargains; and thus a deep-seated pre- judice against Yankees is propagated through the South and the Southwest. Of this we see an amusing example in the following extract frem the Kansas correspondent of the St. Louis Demoorat : In walking from Independence towards Lexington, I entered a house where enter- tainment was to be had.
