they reached the well the next morning,
they found 81 feet of water in it, and
still rising, till it reached the top, and
now flows a continual stream of pure
sparkling water. The well was dug upon
side hill, and is supposed to have come
SO near the lead of some spring that the
water worked its way through the clay
some time during the night.

Where the merry sunbeams
Through each crevice shone.
Where the gladstone zephers
Sported through the room,
Laden from the forest
With a rich perfume.

To tents in the bush;
Stole along our doorway,
At the evening hush.
Peering through the easement,

Or perched on the door-sin,
So cunning and sly.
Rude was our Woodland home,
Humble was its fare.
But 1 love in memory,

THE METRO POLLS OF THE NORTH
WEST COAST.

Commissioners 10 locate the termi-
are now On Puget Sound, and it is
supposed that the, site will be deter
mined some time in December. This
action will settle a disputed ques-
ton. and some of the little mushroom
towns along the eastern shore at the
same time. We Imagine that The pre-
vaIlIng Idea OF the Importance of the
town at the terminus is over estimated.
Something besides amend to aTailroad
is required to bald a town. 1t is the
business of Il EaIlroai, aud not the
road itself, which attracts population,
and enhances the value of real estate.
1t Will BE a long time before a great
metropolis appears upon the shores OF
Puget sound. Spectators maps and
glowing eulOgieS will scarcely survive
practical facts. The A>iatic trade will
grow gradually into importance, but
this generation will hardly see it re
moved from San Francisco. Like San
Diego. the Puget Sound metropolis
will wait long after the locomotive
whistle is first heard, before it fits the
eager anticipations OF its people. The
Territory is rich i'll resources-one OF
the w%eaithiest in the Union. When
these re>oarceS ri developed they
will gradually bring with them life,
trade, a~ctivitv-but not to any marked
extent until then. The railroad viii
assist much and rapidly in this work,
but it will be by slow degrees. Puget
Sound has a magnificent future before
it. 1t will some day be the Maine of
the Pacific; but the painting hunter OF
valuable city lots will have to cool of
his per>piratica for some Years before
he realizes them on the terminus OF
the Northern Pacific Railroad.

An interesting TEMPERANCE discus
sion has been going OIL through the
columns OF the Sacramento Record
receItly,al which the mech nlooted
question o. the composition Cf the
wines spoken of in the New Testament
was considered. One OF the debaterS
settles the alter with the following
testimony:
The Rev. Mr.. Shedd. the missionary
of troDnIVeh. in Persia. thus writes:
M experience of nearly eleven
wears in ii,- Et>I has n0l furnished
The least basis for the distinction maze
between ~trrluruiei ami u"nierinen,cd

least We >tIDuti lind II1ttteIIy invo~-

no unfertneuteI wine. Inc people
know nothing ni lie luxury spoken of
by classical writer's. aud nO.hing Of
any method OF preserving the juice OF
the grape from becomin-iutOXicaung."
The testimony of ali familiar vain
the East Is the SAINT (-ee the ;IOlio-
tiIeca Sacra for January, 1850. Dr.
Eli smith, 10 whom ItobinsOn's Biol
cal researches are indebted for much
their accuracy, says:
Misunderstanding wines L have not

Of SYRIA. as the result OF extensive in

lDaI such d thing as Gntcrulentcd wine
has never been known IN Syria. and
the SAME may be said Of all the Last.
Tile position Is unteuable in Bible
