Show to that I could have gone. It was too dreadful at ace that lifeless form again. I think that, that time, the day before he had been orfulldan-of life and vigor, with no thought of death ger, and I am not sure that we did any good by going. Then and ever since the wildest tales have been circulated. "We had left Nasif ever bo far behind, and he was alone when the accident happened. We had left him alive; we had left him in the care of Moslems. We had and this had caused changed saddles with him a few of the reports are the accident." Thesewildfire about the town, that have spread like our at last that minds and though we made up we would not go over the dreadful details any more, except to satisfy reasonable people, or Christian people or friend3 of the family, there have been too many of these for us to have any rest from the hopeless tak of setting people is right. The one thing everybody harps upon our having left the body, and, with the terrible experience we have now gained of Arab I think we should none of us do the name again, Still, what we should have done is If we had been able to get men a question. from Haratiyeh to bring it with us, we could not have been home here till midnight, and there would have been three houses kept in the most terrible anxiety. Moreover, if we had beeu ever so familiar with the Arab mode of regarding such things, wie should hardly have expected to have to take th is in to accoun t when i t was the family of the.rC M. S. clergyman that was ? (oucerned. And now I must relate the last iniquity of this iuiquitous government. Some time ago Esaad Dauod told us to got lid of all our bishlik, they were to be , called in. Last week our man, owa home from tho market and said the government haa UBMminced that the bishliks, wuzzeries and rhamsies were longer current coin, and that all the shops were shut, if ja England all your copper and silver coins under five shillings were taken from you, you would be in.about our plight. We had nothing Jeft but gold majeedies, about seven shillings, to go on With, and of course no trade could be done. On Saturday the, crier announced on the part of the government that the Turkish pound or lira (issued at 147 piastres) was now to be 100, the bishlik "(issued at 6) to be 2h and the other coins in the same nroportion, I. e. less than half Ya-koo- rr-th- dr going in companies through the streets, crying and wailing, and some we hear are actually dying. March 18. We hear now tliat the lira is to remain at its former value that the bishlik is to be 3 piastres instead of 6,the wuzzeries 5 instead of 7 J, so our loss will be comparatively trifling if wickedthings only stay as they are. But the most efare is that the very poorest ness of it disare such fected by it. Thebishliks dirty to no one who has coins that enough gusting one him change into gold would keep them by hour longer than he could help; but the poor living from hand to mouth have never more than a few bishliks in hand at a time. A j oor widow, the mother of our teacher Saada, has been trying for years to recover a large sum that was owing to her husband when he died. She thought herself so happy last week in getting part of this paid, but the canny debtor had paid her in bishlik, and in a few days the poor woman aw her little treasure dwindle down to less than half its value. As a minor evil, but quite a sufficient trial of one's temper, imagine keeping accounts here, where we are not only subject to such things as thin, but where the currency is different in every town. For instance Souidan sent my account for postage for the quarter. It was nominally b") piastre?, but reckoned in the government currency it came to 77, thus making us pay nearly hall' as much again for1 every letter as the nominal MHtage. Whether we go to Haifa or Beyrout, or JafJa orJerusalem,etc., etc., there is a new currency to learn nnd to lose by. former vaJu Miss Tanner saw one once, but in the eight , years she has been here, she lias never had one in her possession; still the value of the coinage it always rt;ckoneA in piastres. Now, do you bee the dodge or the government? It is nolhing to the Sultan and his advisers that trade should be paralyzed throughout the Empire: they will take care that tho taxes are .paid, anu making the poor fellaheen ysxy all their taxes at the new rate, is the same thing as doubling almost treblingall and Caldcr's Surgeon.

Having a well stored magazine here at the Orphanage,and a good stock of vegetables already in the garden? we had not much fev of suffering from starvation of trade, and though Yakoob came from the market day after, day, "no meat to be had," that was a very small matter, for these children (who do not ,care for meat or any European dishes) compared with the distress and even starvation their relatives and the poor generally were enduring.
