AN ONO NovELrY.--n Bryan, Williams
county. Ohio, there is u novelty which is rare
ly to he exceeded in curiosity anywhere. All over
the village the people are favored with natural
fountains. The Item thus describes the novelty
1t is supposed Ivy some that there san under
ground lake ut the depth Of some forty or fifty
feet, of considerable extent, as water has been
found when bored for, for several miles around.
This is apparent from the fact that every new
well that is bored ff,cts the strength Of others
in its immediate vicinity, until its stream is
elevated by means ola stock to an equal height.
The amount Of water discharged by these ioun-
! tains, however, is not proportionate or equal
the strongest ones being generally east of Main
street. The water can be raised in proportion
to the stream forced up There are several that
fill two inch auger hole at the height of eight
feet above the surface OF the earth, and the
Others issue II somewhat smaller stream to the
height of twelve or fifteen feet. Some OF the
larger ones throw up small fish, and we are

mile cast of this place, in which lish OF black
ish color, of the length of three inches have
been seen.
The work Of procuring water is simple anu
easy. There are seldom any stones met with'
to obstruct the course of the anger, and out one
or two days are required usually to sink well'
of five or six inches in circumference, the neceS-
sary depth. Water is found at an average dep'h
of ~ feet The auger passes through loose
sand until it strikes what is called " hard
pan, bed of solid blue clay OF from two to
three feet in thickness, and Of such nature
that it requires drill to penetrate It, lnme-
diately below this hard pan " lies the water, )
embedded, it is supposed, in quicksand, as for
some days, in some instances weeks, large
quantities Of fine white sand are elected by the
water, but the stream finally becomes entirely
pure and clear and no sand is afterwards seen.
No season nor state Of the weather has any
effect upon these living fountains-the drouth
nor flood cannot change their currents--they are
ever the same-their source is inexbaustible
and therefore they cannot fail.

PERSONALITY AN AWFUL GIFT-The short
verse" Every man shall bear his own burden" )"
opens to our consideration one of the deepest
principles of our being. 1t singles us out from
the multitude around US. 1t sets us alone with
our own spiritual and moral character, as we
have fashioned it, and reminds us that we must
bear for ourselves that burden. 1t bids us re-
member that great truth which the world is
ever seeking to hide from us, that we are each
of US One; that we have that in US which does
truly separate us from every other beside that
we are in reality alone. There is something
awful in this truth, in whatever light we look
at it. Though this is, indeed, our greatness
though it is in this, in great measure, that
our likeness to God consists, yet it is an awful
thought Our very greatness is appalling to
u-but We cannot shake it off. We may, in
deed, strive in our shrinking weakness, to break
in upon the stiffness of our solitary being by
srowding others around us, but we cannot. We
may forget our loneliness for season, in the
whirl of pleasure, or the fever of excitement, or
the warm gushes of lovely sympathy; but in
all the pauses of outward things, the solemn
voice comes back again upon the ear; the null
titude of shadows fade into nothingness and
the great vision of our single, proper, solitary
being again over-shadows our spirit. We have
each one this burden of a separate soul, and we
must bear it. Even ordinary life utters voices
which add their witness TO this truth, if we
listen for them. How do all deep thinking
people in the inmost current of their spirits,
live apart from others, and, more or less even
feel that they do so.-B'shop Of Oxford.

4 NUT FOR THE VEGETARIANs. =

n Nut FOR THE VEGETARIANs.- -
IIcrbi7drous animals are certainly
more affected with tubcrculdr disease
than carniverous. 1t is a fact also that
butchers, who use much animal food,
are seldom consumptivej and truth
compels me to say that III few eases
[ could diatinctly connect the develop,
ment Of a consumption with a prolong
ed experiment of vegetarian diet. Un
less well mana gcd, and in very robust
criSditati'ns, yegetalianism tends tc
produce an excess Of the albulniuouS
element of blood aud deficiency OF
its fibrine, iron, and red particles, i'm.
parting palncss and habbincss to the
tissues, generel delicacy of look, and
want Of stamin and power of ener
getic cndurence. This is a state of
matters assur edly verging on the
pathological condition of tho fluids
characterizing the scrofulous constitu-
ton. Hence the necessity for eau
ton in vegetarian experiments. Let
me not be misunderstood as uncondl-
tionally decrying vegctarianism.-
There is much good in it-but it is
capable of as great abuses, quite, as
an unmixcd diet. Having experiment
ed carfully on myself for two years,
with vegetarian diet, | consider my
self qualified to give counsel on the
subject. 1t will not do for all healthy
people, nor as an indiscriminate rec
omcndation to invalids. In the hands
of physician, it is potent auxiliary
of his art. But there is time to eat
animal food. The grand Questions are,
tho measure and proportions Of it
when to stop, and when to recon
mence, and how far TO go.-Dr. Bal
Jirne.
