THE UNION AAD AMERICAN.
APHILosopHuCAL REFLECTION

The halls wors it--the bsnd struck up
And wealth and beauty shone
To crown with joy young Romee's cup;
Why looks young Romeo wan?
By trouble is his brow o'ercast-
He signs with anxious air,
i feel this glove is cracking fast
And I've no second pairp
Ills ever 'hus In this poor world,
Some grief In joy takes part
a tiny worm il always curled
Within the roses heart;
Aud those who with the best are classed,
Oft sigh DER hidden care;
They feel the glove is Cracking fast,
And have no second pair!
Then be advised, my dear young friend,
And aye, as pleasure bids,
When you to ball or party wend-
Just take two pairs Of Kids.
It's simple counsel, but how vast
The grief that 1t will spare,
To feel though these gloves crack so fast,
You have q second pair.

The Walls of Jerusalem.

In his last letter to the Christ ian
Union, Rev. DR.. G. s. Robinson de-
scribes walk about Jerusalem:
'sEvery step brought US up against
some fresh theme of meditation, which
alone would have been worth visit.
The main difficulty is always found in the
absolute inability of the mind to hold its
strain unrelaxed and unbroken under
series of such high excitements. Memo
~ leaps from one precious recollection to
another, until the impressions fairly be-
come incoherent, and the intelligence is
compelled TO wait for a moments rest in
order to catch new grasp.
Jerusalem is surrounded entirely with
walls of stone. Those that now meet
our eye were constructed in the eigh-
teenth century. The materials, however,
were mostly on the ground, being frag-
ments Of former wals, debris of edifices,
anything and everything, indeed, which
war and decay, alike and together, might
be conceived to cast into heaps of rub
bish. Hence the presentation is often
times singulsrly promiscuous and care
less. Pillars, shattered columns, with
and without capitals, have been worked
into the layers lengthWise, without even
the trouble of hewing them into proper
size, or arranging them symmetrically.
Cornices and sculpturod devices appear
anywhere on the surface, with no regard
to beauty.
''The height varies from twenty
feet TO eighty, according to ones position
and the nature of the soil. These walls
may have been intended for protection in
time of seige, and perhaps would even
now be quite defence against arrows or
slung pebbles; but they seem ridiculous
to one who has ever stood beside modern
artillery. Two or three discharges from
FOUNDER would blow almost any
length of the concern down. Narrow
Sits have been left between the stones,
indicating the ancient purpose when
archers manned the battlements. The
whole appearance of these ramparts now
is insignificant and slight,
"The wall is pierced at five points for
gates; all of which are in presen: use but
One-that is solidly walled up on the
eastern side. These gates are closed at
sunset, and then the belsted traveller
would find himself in serious trouble to
obtain entrance, were the remedy not as
easy there in the Holy City as anywhere
else under Moslem dominion. Indeed,
the ancient wisdom of Solomon, learned
in these very precincts probably, has not
at all failed yet-'money answereth all
things.' The Jsffs gate, however, so
called because facing the road from Jaffs,
is allowed open half hour later than the
Others"

tened. Soon could hear my pursuers.
Closer they came; but not being as blind
as L they passed on both sides the water
hole, and soon were out of my hearing.
Well aware that they would soon discoV-
er that / had given them the dodge, and
in sll probability would think that / was
concealed in this water hole, and return.
In the few minutes / had been there |
had formed a plan to evade them en-
tirely; and l now crept out and
began to put it to the test which
was to take a diagonal course to
what they would expect of me. And
this threw them entirely off the track. l
was now in pitiable plight for fast run
ming. / felt, and suppose looked, like
a mud turtle buried all winter in the
soft mud, but l hastily left that spot far
in the rear, and then again, in more
leisurely pace, took my most direct course
TO the emigrsnt road, at which l arrived
just as the first streaks of morning light
were breaking in the eastern sky, with
out hearing or seeing anything more of
the ssvages. About half mile further
on was camp of emigrants, and upon
reaching it, was overjoyed to meet my
old comrades, who had given me up for
lost; had looked half of the day for me,
and for that detention, had not travelled
far. l presented grotesque and uncouth
spectacle, as minus hat and coat, and be-
smeared with mud, l sank down upon an
OK yoke, and related to wondering ears,
the tale of my captivity and escape from
the ShOshone Indians.

SALT VS.. CHILLS.

The following appears as leading edi;
torial in the Cleveland Herald: 'We
wish to give a very simple remedy for
fever, and wish to emphasize it by saying
that it hiss to our certain knowledge
proved very efficacions. 1t is simply
common salt. A tesspoonful taken in
water, and teaspoonful deposited inside
each stocking next the foot just as the
chill is coming on. That's all there is of
1t; but, knowing that it has been very
efficacioGs in breaking the chill and per-
fecting a cure, we put it in our editorial
columns, where no humbug remedy shall
ever find q place, if we know it."

The valley of Jehoshaphat.

Close at our feet, as we turned to look
toward the west, writes DR.. Robinson to
the Christian Union, lay that tremend-
Gus graveyard, the valley of Jehosaphat
in which year after year the myriad
stones of Jewish burial are increasing.
Even before our Saviour was crucIfied,
the rocks had begun to be followed out
for sepulcheTs, and now there is hardly
room for one to pass up the hill without
treading on some memorial of the dead.
The slope is fairly tagged in some parts
with slabs that cover the collins.
These slabs are level with the ground
sometimes you may find a name upon
them, written in rude Hebrew characters;
but no one can help being impressed with
the entire absence of all emblems upon
these passive monuments of the dead.
Of all that the Israelites dread, there is 70
one thing they consider so inexpressively
repusive and hateful as death. They
never use any funeral symbols. A tomb
stone is Just left blank. l have some
where read that the imagery of the Jew
ish nation never pictures this last enemy
except under the figure of 8 snare lying
in wait, or of one offering cup of poison
for another to drink. They never plant
trees, or scatter wresths, or hang flowers
about sepulchres. 1t is their custom sim
ply to put the dead away in burial out of
sight of the living.
Gazing down upon these myriads of
white spots, spread over acres of soil, l
could not keep from recalling the striking
vision of the prophet. l said to myself,
over and over again, "Can these dry
bones live2" My inauguration ran wild
as l seemed to see that final hour, when,
under the sound of the trumpet, there
would be the grand awakening of every
thing mortal beneath the sod. Where
would it begin upon this hillside? The
Jews have always tabled that Zacharias,
son of Barachias," who fell ''between the
temple and the altar" would rise first
among the redeemed. And sure enough
his sepulchre is pointed out here in the
very valley before us. How solemn it
will seem to witness the earliest stir on all
the earth, the first rupture of its surface;
and how the agitation will spread, as
grave after grave will be broken, and all
the millions of the sepulchred dead will
arise living army once more erect!

A FEARFUL AND DESTRUCTIVE SHOWER.
During the thirty-oue days in which Stras-
bourg was besieged, 1874, 722 balls, shells,
and other projectiles were thrown into the
fortress by the 241 guns of the Prussian
army, being an average of 6,249 every
day, 299 every hour, and from four to
five every minutes.
