Last Thursday, Minich, the well-digger,
had reached the distance of so feet in the
well at East Point, and was in high hopes of
soon finishing the job, as there were feet
of water in the hole; but, most unfortu-
nately Just then, when the crystal waters
were reached, the bit of the drill broke off,
and Of course could not be got out of the
rock. Nothing daunted, the plucky water
finder drew out the tools and changed the
derrick and spring-pole and began to drill
new hole. The effort that is now making is
the fourth that has been made on Squire
Loudsn's property to get we'll of water. J

grew out of a loan of money to Mar

Martin Weaver, was a party to the
obligation to Fanny Fronk. When

Tobias was called ON to do so, but he
could not, and such effects as he had

LUCY LEE PLEAsAN1s.


She stood before him, tall and fair
And gracious, on that summers day,
With June's first roses in her hair,
And on her cheek the bloom OF May,
But rosy cheek and dimpled chin,
And raven laShes dropping low,
Conceal the answer he would win:
1t might be yes; would 1t be no?
All, if 'twere no-his throbbing heart
stood fairly still with sudden pain;
And If 'Jwere yes, the world SO wide
His deep content could scarce contain.
So wOndrous fairi how could she stoop
To favor such a one as he?
All, sweet suspense that still leaves hope!
All, pain of sad uncertainty.
He held her hand so white and small,
And moved to press it with his lips.
But changed his mind, and let IL fail,
With chillest touch of finger tips,
And took the seat she offered him
Upon the sofa by her side,
Nor made the space between them less,
Which seemed so narrow, yet so wide.
Then gazing on the perfect face.
The dimpled mouth, the serious eyes,
And drinking in with eager ears
The music of her low replies,
He let the bright hours drift away.
Nor told the secret of his heart.
But when the shadows heightened lay,
Rose, all reluctant, TO depart.
And stammered forth. with bluslling cheek,
An eager, timorouS request
That she, for old acquaintance SAKE,
Would grant the rosebud from her breast
She gave it him with downcaSt eyes.
And watched him leave her with n sigh
so good.'' she said, $50 true, SO wise;
All me, if he were not so shy.

Twelve stones were set in the breast-plate
of the Hebrew high priest, probably as en-
blems of the - tribes of Israel; on this point,
however. opinions differ. We therefore
merely give the names of the stones as set
outin theEnglish Bible: Sardius, topaz, car
buncle, emerald, sapphire, diamond, figure,
agate amethyst, beryl. onyx and jasper. In
the New Testament the II foundations of the
New Jerusalem are represented as of so many
precious stones. The list comprises the jas
doynx, sardius, chrysolite, beryl, topaz,
chrysoprase, jacinth and amethyst. The II
gates of the heavenly city are in like manner
said to be of pearl. By some the II founda-
tons are supposed to symbolic as many
apostolic virtues. That Is to svy:
l. Jasper-Constancy and frmness.
q Sapphire-Heavenlyt thoughts.
3. Calcedony-Ardent zeal.
4. Emerald-Suavity of manner.
s. Sardonyx-variety in teaching.
q. Sardius-Readiness for martyrdom.
7. Chrysolite- Restrai ed by no obstacles.
.. Bsryl-P,eparedness of mind at all times.
8. Topaz-Healing power.
10. Chrysoprase- Severity toward sin.
II. Hyacinth or Observation-Disclosures in all
p Amethyst-Sobriety and temperance.
The IL pearls were said to denote the
superior purity of the New Testament.
In later times the II apostles were all
represented by nearly the same precious
stones as in the foregoing list. Thus:
Jasper was Peter: firm rock.
SUPPLEMENTARY: full of heavenly faith.
Chalcedony-James: loving
Emerald-John: pure and gentle.
Sardonyx-Philip: friendly,
Carnelian-Bal tholomew: the martyr.
