apart from the coInmon and broken
tradition.
1.-THE we'll is not what We under
stand by that name. 1t is not o
spring of water bubbling up from
the earth, nor is it reached by an ex-
cavation. 1t is o shaft cut in the liv-
ing rock, about nine feet in diameter,
aud now upward of seventy feet
deep. AS an immense quantity of
rubbish has fallen into it, the orig
inal depth must have been much
greater, propbably twice what it is
now. It was, therefore, intended, by
its first engineer, as a reservoir rather
than as a means of reaching spring.
Then again, if any wall, as some sup
pose, once surrounded its mouth, on
which the traveller could rest, it is
now gone. The mouth is funnel
shaped, and its sides are formed by
the rubbish of old buildings, q
church having once been erected
oyer it. But we can descend this
funnel, and enter a cave, as it were,
a few feet below the surface,
which is the remains ola small dome
that once covered the mouth. De-
scending a few feet, we perceive, in
the floor an aperture, partly covered
by flat stone, and leaving sufficient
space through which we can look
into darkness. We sent a plum line
down into the water-with which
the we'll seemed to be abundantly
supplied at the time of our visit.
"Many have been puzzled to ac-
count for Jacobs having dug such q
well here, when the whole valley of
Scchen, only quarter of an hours
walk off, is more musical with
streams than any other in Palestine.
But some one dug the well-and
who more likely than Jacob, not
only to have on his own property
what was, in his time, more valuable
than private coal mine would be
with US; but also for the moral pur-
pose of keeping his family and de-
pendents as separate as possible from
the depraved Sechemites.

Exploit Of an It.llan Officer.

Leu, who commands = squadron of the
Victor Emanuel Lancers, and is desert
bed as an off Ger of remurkab dash and
intrepidity, a reputation he certainly de
serves if the stories told of him be true.
His squadron being the head of the qd-
vance guard, he received oFders from CT.
aldina to press forward in the direction
of PGiua until he reached the very gates
of that city and there he found the enc

auIaciously entered the place, whcreup.
on the Austriars, although six or eight
times as numerous, doubtless thought the
whole advance guard of the Fourth
Corps was close TO his heels, hurriedly
evacuated the city,whosc inhabitants could
not make enough # the bold handful of
lanccrs.
After a short time De Leu took four
of his men, went down to the railway
station, had locomotive and one car
riage got ready, and started in the direo-
tion Of Vicenza. He went on and with.

lancors, he Of course could do nothing.
Unwilling, however, to return to Padua
empty handed, he ordered the driver to
take the engine to the head of a long
train which he saw there ready to start
in another direction. This was snartly
done, the train hooked on, and within
half an hour the adventurous captain re-
entered the Padqa stqtion with quanti-
ty of Austrian tobacco worth something
like 50,000,Q00 francs. Thus is the
story told aud it must be admitted tha,

and that the Austrians at Padua and vi

q Noble LndY.

A short time ago as a train Of cars was
approaching the Suspension Bridge nea
Niagara, the conductor found a young
nan who could no, pay his fare! The
poor fellow was ovidcn tly in the last sta
gcs Of consumption, and emaciatcd to
skeletonic prop riions. Ho sat by him
SELF and his eyes were red as though he
had been we eping, but the. laws of the
company could not be transgressed, and
he must leave the train, Not a word was
spoken and no one moved as the conduc
tor led him from his seat, all shivcrng
with fear; bat just as he reached the
door, beautiful girl arose from her seat,
and with bright, sparkling eyes deman-
ded the amount charged for the poor in
valid. The conductor said sight dollar
the"euron tie young and noble girl tool;
the amount from her purse, and kindly
led the OK youth back to his seat The
action PUT to shame several men who had
witnessed it, and they offered to "pay
half" but the wholc-souled girl indig-
nantly refused their assistance. When
the train arrived at Albany, the young
protectress gave the invalid money
enough to keep him one night in that
city, and sent him to his friends the mex
morning. Two-thirds of the women oI
the world would suffer by comparison
with her. The man who gets that 70
bic girl for a wiHo will be a subjectso
admissible envy.

LovELINEss.-lt is not your dress,
ladies, your expensive shawl or golden
fingers that attract the attention of men
Of sense they look beyond these 1t
is your character they study. If you
are trifing and loose in your conversation,
no matter if you are as beautiful as an
angel, you have no attractions for the
sex, 1t is the loveliness of your nature
that wins and continues to retain the af-
fections of the heart. Young ladies
sadly miss it who labor to improve their
outward looks while they bestow rot a
thought on their minds. Fools may be
won by gewgaw, and fashionable snowy
dresses, but the wise and substantial are
never caught by traps. Let modesty be
your dress. Use pleasant and agreeable
language, and though you may not be
courted by the fop, the good and truly
great may liuger in your steps.
