THE POOLS OF SOLOMON.

These large, strong, noble structures, in
land where every work Of art has been hurried
to destruction, remain now almost as perfect
as when they were built. There are three of
them, about 40, 600, 600 feet in length, and
$50 in breadth, and Of different attitudes the
water from the first running into the second,
and from the second into the third. At about
one hundred yards distance is the spring
which supplies the reservoirs, as the monks
say, the sealed iountainreferredt to in the Can
tcles ". l2.-The water from these reservoirs
is conveyed TO Jerusalem by small aqueduct
round earthen pipe about ten inches in Dir
ameter, which follows all the sinuosities Of
the ground, being sometimes above the sur
face and sometimes under 1t is easily
broken; and while was in Jerusalem an ac-
cident happened which entitely cut off the
water from these pools. There is every rea-
son 10 believe that these pools have existed
from the date assigned to them, and that this
was the site of one of king Solomon's houses
Of pleasure, where he made himself gardens
and orchards, and pools Of water" The
rain here ceased for a few moments, and en-
abled ME to view them at my leisure but as l
walked along the bank or stood on the mar
gin, or descended the steps to the waters
edge, it seemed almost the wild suggestions
Of dream to imagine that the wisest Of men
looked into the same pool, and strolled along
the same bank, and stood on the very same
steps.--It was like annihiIating all the inter-
vals Of time and space. Solomon and his
glory are departed, and little could even his
wisdom have foreseen, that, long after he
should be lain in the dust, and his kingdom
had passed into the hands Of strangers,
traveller from the land he had never dreamed
Of would be looking upon his works and muir
muring to himself the words of the preacher,
