AT BETHLEHEM,


We set our face for the pools of Solomon
halting for n few moments at the tomb of Rachel
by the roadside. The small structure was
crowded with Jews, some of whom were phylac-
teries, and all were wailing as they wall beside
the remnant of the temple walls One old wo-
man was weeping and pressing her withered
cheek against the tomb with as much distress
as if the fair young wife who breatled out her
life there forty centuries ago had been her own
daughter. We found the enormous pools of Sol
ONION (the longest of which measures $50 feet in
lengthy were abont half filed with pure water
We rode beside the aqueduct that leads from
them all the way to Bethlehem. Down among
the bleak and barren hills we saw the deep fer
tile vale of Urtas filled with gardens and fruit
trees. 1t is cultivated by the European colony
planted by Mr.. Meshullmam. For q half hour
we Toasted our eyes with the view of beautiful
Bethlehem, perched on its lofty hill, and sur
rounded by olive orchards. So many new edi-
fees have been erected for converts and other
religious purposes that Bethlehem has almost a
modern look. As rode through its narrow
streets we no Ruths, but an ancient Jew in
turban, long robe and flowing beard, quite an
swercd to my idea of Boaz. We rode on to the
convent adjoining the Church of tine Nativity,
where a rather jully-lookng monk furnished US
an excellent lunch He then took us into the
venerable church that covers the suhterranean
chamber in which tradition has always held
that our blessed Lord born. The chamber
is probably the remnant of an ancient khan once
belonging 10 the family of Jesse and of King
David. | expected to he shocked by sham
mockery when entered the church, but n feel
ing of genuine faith in the locality came over
Inc as descended into the rocky chamber and
read around the silver star, the famous inscrip-
ton in Latin, ''Here Jesus Christ was born of
the Virgin Mary" The three-fold argument for
the authenticity Of this site is drawn from IN
broken tradition, from the fact that Bethlehem
has never been overthrow in sieges, and from
the other fact that the learned st. Jerome, in
the fourth century, was so sure of the site that
he came and spent his long, laboriors life in the
cavern close by the birth-spot of our Lord.
entered with deep interest the cave in which
this devout scholar meditated, and prayed, and
wrought the Vulgate translation of Gods word.
My visit to the Church of the Nativity was ten
fold more satisfactory than that to the Church
of the Holy Sepulchre in this city.-TAeodore
Cayler, IN Ncr York Erdaseiisl.

Pats .sDiveShins

A story is told of an Englishman who landed
{ in Dublin, few months ago, filed with appre
hension that the life of any loyal subject of heI
Majesty was not worth n farthing there and
Whereabouts. The Land Leaguers he imagined,
were all blOodthirsty assassins and all that sort
of thing. But it was his duty to travel in the
land-a duty he approached with fear and trem-
bling Now there happened to be on his route,
q number of towns the names of which begin
withthe suggestive syllable "Kil." There were
Rilmartin, and so on. In his ignorance of geo.
graphical nomenclature, his affrighted senses
were startled anew, on hearing fellow passen-
ger in the railway carriage remark to another
as follows: "Pm just afther bein' over to Kill
patrick" "And /" replied the other, "am af-
Their bein' over to Kilmary." "What murderers
they are" thought the Englishman. Sand to
think that they talk of their sssassinations so
publiclym But the conversation went on. "And
fhare are ye goin' now 7" asked assassin No. l..
'Pm goin' home, and then to Kilmore," was No.
2's reply. The Englishman's blood curdled.
'sKilmore, is it !, added No. l. "YOu'd betther
be comm along wild me to Kilumallew 1t is re-
lated that the Englishman left the train at the
next station.

Ounces.

A correspondent of the New England Farmer
residing in Nineland, New jersey, writing on the
| culture of ounces, says:
| have been studying and experimenting in
! ounce culture for ten years, and have learned
j to use sticks that have been growing for several
years, in preference TO those of one years growth
| though do not reject these. By using older
and larger cuttings, get very mneh stronger,
| and more vigorous trees, in less time. On such
| large sticks, had shoots that grew over five
feet last year. The side shoots on these, this
| year, are about two feet. i had fine fruit this
| year on tree that will not he three years old
| till next spring. NY experience has taught me
to sticks about Is or 16 inches long, set about
| q foot In the ground, and TO look for the devel-
opment of all needed buds where none are to be
seen on the old wood / use. Sometimes a bud be-
| low the surface sends up the shoot that makes
the tree. Il. too many start, rub off all do not
| want to grow.
81 have a growth this year on my thrce-year
| trees of over seven feet, and one of seven feet
seven inches. The best of these had half peck
of fruit ripen on them this year. My best trees,
that were propagsted seven years ago from such
large cuttings as / have described, bore, this
year, little over three pecks to the tree; one
tree had 1s5 ounces get ripe on it. The same
tree bore 50 ounces two years ago. The average
Of these older trees at five years was half peck;
at six years, a peck; ut seven, peck and half;
and now, in their eighth year, it is abont half q
bushel, from which have realized an average of
Sl.2l. Average last year was 90 cents tree.
"My experience is in favor of planting in Feb
ruary or March. Rich, mellow soil may be pre-
pared, though l have concluded they will do
well anywhere, where corn and potatoes Will
succeed. Press the soil very firmly about the
cutting. 1t helps their roofing. Throw little
salt around the cuttings, to keep the surface
moist, and fertilize them.
''The other methods of propasating, by sprouts
from the stumps, by layers, by sprouts from
roots and from seeds, each have their peculiar
advantages, though on the whole | think cut-
tings the choice. Where You want to get n
choice variety into poorer kind, the method by
grating, as an apple is grated will be found
advantageous. l have seen fruit borne on a
graft the second year. One of my gratis this
year has exceeded four feet, and will probably
bear next year. l have now in cultivation sew
en- sorts, and expect to add the eighth, by graf
ting in tho spring; and when my over 300 trees
come to fruItane, | may have more interesting
report to make Of my success

A Hainous Crime.

Lord Kenyon thus addressed dishonest but
Ter, who had been convicted of stealing large
quantities of wine from his masters cellar:
prisoner at the bar, you stand convicted, on
the most conclusive evidence, of a crime of mex
pressible atrocity-a crime that defiles the sa-
cred springs Of domestic confidence, and is cal
culatsd to strike alarm into the breast of every
Englishman who invests largely In the choicer
vintages of Southern Europe. Like the serpent
Of old. You have stung the hand of your prOtec-
tor. Fortunate in having generous employer,
you might, without dishonesty, have continued
to supply your wretehed wife and children with
the comforts of sufficient prosperity, and even
with some of the luxGries of afiluence; but, dead
to every claim of natural affection, and blind to
your own real interest, you burst through all
the restraint Of religion and morality, and have
for many years been feathering your nest with
your masters bottles"

NEW YEARS DAY FLowERs.-A lady Of this
city was informed by q Hollandcr, who claimed
to have tested the truth of the tradition by re-
peated experiments, that q stick Of lilac, even
when apparently dead, ifplaeed in water before
noon of December 4, will blossom on New Years
Day, but not if placed in the water after noon of

placed an apparently dead stock Of lilac in .
vase Of water on the 9Th of December last, and
it blossomed on New Years Day, just as foretold
and has since continued in blossom. We have
had occular demonstration as to the flowers
and have the word of n trustworthy lady as to
the rest ofthe story. We have no explanation
to offer.-Toicdo Blade
