Egypt and the Holy Land.
By Editor
WE had the pleasure, last Monday evening, of attending a lecture by Charles Warren Stoddard, on the above subjects. Mr. Stoddard is a Californian, and has acquired some celebrity as a traveler and author. His letters from foreign lands are scarcely excelled by any. His lecture was illustrated by large views presented on canvass by the aid of a magic lantern. He promised his audience the pleasures of a trip through Egypt and to Jerusalem and other points, without its difficulties and dangers. He fulfilled his promise as far as time permitted. We would have enjoyed it far more if we could have lingered an hour or two with some of those grand old ruins which were so faithfully represented. When Jerusalem, so life-like in every feature, burst upon our sight, we could appreciate the feelings of the children of Israel at their first sight of the Holy City and Mount Zion. We shall not soon forget the impressions which the occasion produced.
