on each side, and 30 feet deep.
The greatest attraction in this
ancient city is the cave Of Machpc-
lah: the veritable spot which Abra-
ham bought for n burying place
from the sons Of Heth and where
we're laid to rest the patriarChs and
their wives 80 many centuries ago,
The field containing the cave is on
the slope. of the eastern hill and is
surrounded by great wall, fifty feet
high, the lower portion Of which is
very old and is suppose to have
been built by Jews, and the upper
portion by the Saracens. Within
the walls is mosque over the cave
Of Machphelah. Here are the mon
uments of Abraham and Sarah,
Isaac and Rehecca, Jacob and Leah
but the coffins or sarcophagi which
hold their remains are in the cave
below, where no one is allowed to
enter. Until few years since, no
one was admitted even to the
mosque; but now, by paying a
small fee, visitors may enter the en-
closure so superstitiously guarded.
Hebron is now called "El- Khulfl,"
the friend of Cod; in reference,
probably, to Abraham, who, nearly
1000 years ago, met God there,
and, living by faith in his promises,
'looked fora city which hath foun-
datiOns, whose builder and maker is
God"

Give Him a Trade.

If education is the great bucklel
and shield of human liberty, vel
developed history is equally the
buckler and shield of individual in
dependence. AS an unfailing re.
source through life, give your son,
equally with a good education, a
good, honest trade. Better any
trade than none, though there is
ample field for the adoption of eve
cry inclination in this respect
Learned professions and speculative
employments may fail a man, but an
honest handicraft trade, seldom or
never--if the possessor chooses to
exercise it. Let him feel, too, that
honest labor crafts are honorable
and noble. The men of trades
the real creator of whatever is most
essential to the necessities Of man
kind, can not be dispensed with !;
they, above all others, in whatever
repute they may be held by their
more fastidious fellows, must work
at the oar of human progress, or all
| is lost. But few brownhanded trade
workers think of this, or appreciate
the real position and power they
compass. Give your son a trade,
no matter what fortune he may have
or seem to inherit. Give him a
trade and an education-at any rate
a trade. With this he can always
battle with temporal want, can al,
ways be independent - and better
independence with moderate edu-
cation, than all the learning of the
colleges and wrctched temporal de,
pendence. But in this free land
there can be, ordinarily, no Difficult
ty in procuring both trade and edu-
cation for every youth, thereby fit
ting all to enter the ranks Of man
kind, defiant ofthose obstacles which
intimidate so many tradeless, pro-
tesslonless young men. Such are
the peculiarities of fortune, that no
mere outward possession can be
counted as absolutely secure or pro
tective to men. Hoarded thousands
may be swept away in day; and
their once possessors left with nei
ther means Of independence nor of
livelihood.

"Can the thing ever be cured p,

A Bully Eye Doctor.

A gentleman tells us the follow
ing story, and vouches for it as
having actually occurred to him
self. Some years ago he lost an
eye, and having taste for comely
personal appearance, hehad the loss
of the member atoned for by the in
sertion of 3 glass eye. The coun-
terfeit was perfect counterpart Of
the other, and except those who
were told of the fact none would
have imagined him to be the "bullr
boy with a glass eye. Two or three
weeks ago the seeing eye began to
infiame, and knowing, by sad expe-
rience, the danger of neglecting
sore eye, he determined to consult
an occulist, and not knowing which
was the proper one to go to, was
unfortunate enough to fall into the
hands of man who practices the
profession, but who, until within a
short time, had been engaged, in
the butchering business. Calling
upon the celebrated oculist," and
aurist," he told him that his eyes
were afflicted with disease, and he
feared he would lose them The
quack examined the optics and pro
them an easy cure. In fact,
he would heal them up at low fig
ure, only ten dollars a week for
treatment.
'tWhat do you think of my left
eye, Doctor p asked our friend,
whose faith was not very strong.
The Doctor examined the left
optic very carefully for several mo

Last Words of Eminent Men.

All eminent men have their last
words" just before giving their
mortal coil the shake, and these
words are often quoted and pre-
served. Some of them appear to
make study of rendering their
closing remarks as effective as pos
sible; if they didn't they wouldn't
be eminent men. No common man
ever thinks it worth while to say
anything smart, just because he is
going to die; if he does he is sure
to make a failure of it. What
world of grandeur in the final ex,
elamation of Bonaparte-"Head of
the Army!" and what prophetic
meaning was embodied in Webster's
II still livew
All eminent men have to die some
time, which, in many cases, isn't al
together public calamity, and the
eminent men with whom the pres
ent day is lavishly endowed must
naturally pass away. They will of
course be q little anxious about
their last words--be concerned, as
it were, to state about the right
thing as they depart, and in the
hurry of going this might not read

Baptizing a Sinner.

Poor people have a hard time in
this world of ours. Even in mat
ters of religion there is a vast diff
erence between Lazarus. and Dives,
as the following. anecdote, copied
from an exchange, will illustrate:
Old Billy c. had attended
great revival, and in common with
many others "was convicted" and
baptized, Not many weeks after
wards one of his friends met him
reeling home from the court ground
with a "brick," in his hat.
"HalIo, Uncle Billy said his
friend, Il thought you had Joined
the church !"
$50 l did," answered Billy, max
ing a desperate effort to be still.
ITO l did, Jeems, Id bin a good
Baptist if they hadn't treated meso
everlastin' mean at the water
Didn't you hear about it, Jeems p
"No, / never did"
"Then I'll ten you about it. You
see, when we come to the baptism
place there was old Sinks, the rich
old Squire, who was to be dipped
at the same time, Well, the minis
ter took the Squire in first, but l
didn't mind that much, as l thought
'twould be just as good when it
cum; so he let him in nifty keerful,
snd wiped his face and led him out.
Well, then cum my turn, and in
stead of liftin me out as he did the

Our Return to Earth.

| SLAA AWFUL IL w AAbA OAs
1t was recently found that the
body of DR.. Dresbach, of Tiffin, O.,
who died in 1852, had not decayed.
A Tif1n paper thinks it was because
it was inclosed in a metallic coffin,
and this placed in a cemented vault,
making it dry and proofagaints the
dccomposing effects Of the air; and
with an eye to business tits remark
ed that "this is an important discov-
cry, and worthy the attention of
those who would preserve the re-
mains of their friends" 0
1t may be remarked to save use
less expense to those who can i'll
afford it, that it is not easy to make
a plastered vault hermetical, nor
will the surroundings make any diff
ference if the coffin is hermetical.-
1t may be well to keep up the delu-
sion that bodies are preserved from
decay by metallic cofiins, since that
is the notion upon which they are
procured, but those who have any
opportunity to observe the result,
or who reflect upon the conditions,
will look for some other reasons
for the remarkable preservation of
the body in this case.
The notion that metallic coffins
preserve the bodies makes it look
like neglect or want of feeling to
leave them to decay, and thus it
forces the survivors into this fash
ion. This and other things of mere
fashion make a heavy burden on
many families, who in the death OF
their head, are left without provis-
ions. But in fact, this inclosure
would only make the decomposition
more revolving to the feelings, III
we but knew the process. Such an
exclusion of the air as is necessary
to take away the elements of chem
ical change is impossible in such a !
vessel. The generation of gas by
the body forces an outlet, and the
coffin only makes the
corpse more hideous, and keeps it
from mingling with its mother
earth, to reappear in new forms of
