up to Jerusalem. he had with him the con-
tributions OF the Gentle churches for the
poor saints there. and expected to accom-

dice and uniting Gentle and Jewish Chris
tons IN q closer bond. His hearts desire
and prayer to God for Israel was that they
might be saved. But how sorelv was his
faith tried. Agagus, q certain prophet Of
whom We have before heard l11:2S), FORE
warned him of the i'll sure 10 befall him il

even PauPs companions and the diciples at
Cesares, Including, no doubt, Philip and his
family, joined in the endeavor to dissusde
him from going on. Could a mans faith or
his courage be more sorely tried?
What was il which sustained him in his
purpose and made him so stesdfast? He
bad clear conviction that it was his duty
TO go. Then, with his love for Israel, he had
great love to Christ. Elsewhere ne had said.

but a so to die at Jerusalem for the name

Lewis Oliphant, in Blsckwood's Magazinel
In the course of my scrambles have three
or four times come upon curious square
erections, which have net observed men-
toned In any work upon Palestine. The
largest OF these was IA feet high by . square,
and formed OF slabs of stone averaging feet

without cement, but evidently hewn so
that the construction should be symmetrical.
Thought at first there might be q chamber
inside but on examin lining one of the smaller
ones found 1T 70 be perfectly solid. From
the vesther- beaten appearance of the stones,
they seem to have been in position from
great antiquity but whether they were al
ters, or monuments over tombs, or served
some more practical purpose, / leave for
those skilled in such matters to decide. The
huge millstones are numerous, and are TO
be found, sometimes far removed from any
ruin, in the most remote valleys. The lower
one usually measures from to 10 feet in d.
ameter, with q raised rim round the circum-
ference, or 10 inches high, and a square
hole in the centre: they are ab)ut feet 6
inches thick, but are often hewn out of the
living rock, as well as the basin for the re-
ception Of oil below them. Then there are
rock cut reservoirs; the largest have seen
was about 100 feet by 40, and 10 in depth !;
but 1t was half filed with vegetation, and
was originally much deeper. And there are
trap-like and deceptive cisterns, the mouths
Of which are about the size Of the coal-hole
in the pavement of o London street; but
when there is a bush instead of lid over ID
false step m sy land you in circular pit
perhaps 20 feet deep, of demiiohn shape,
and with smooth sides, from which escape
would be hopeless. 1t was into such q pit
probably that Joseph was let down by his
brothers. These cisterns are very numerous
at some CT the ruins, and prove how depend

About the Mistietoe.

The mistletoe 10 q shrub which grows or
lives upon certain trees, such as the apple,
pear and hawthorne. 1t is found also on
lines, poplars, frs and sycamores, and,
more rarely, on oaks-contrsry to the popu-
Lar belief. The white berries are full of a
thick, clammy Juice, by which the seeds are
fastened 70 the branches where they take
root. The mistletoe has been the object of q
very special regard for centuries, and traces
OF this high esteem still survive In the we'll.
Known Christmas custom. One variety OF
this practice has 1t that each time . kiss is
matched under the mistletoe q berry is
piucked from the bush. and that when the
berries have ali been removed the priv
llege ceases. The Druids thought that the
msstletoe which grew upon the oak pos
seoed magical virtues, and they valued il
accordingly. One of their priests in q white

Grants Father-in.Law.

Mr.. F. T. Dent, the father of the
wife of Gen. Grant, died at the white
house on the 18th of December, 1873,
surrounded by his children. He was
a genial gentleman, SO years of age, and
the frequenters of tho white house after
he became the guest of his son-in-law
had generally found him seated in the
reception-room, the center of a pleas
ant group of conversationalists, all at
tracted to him by his good nature and
large fund of information. He was full
of anecdotes of western life, and seem
ed always ready to instruct or amuse
his auditors. He was much beloved in
St. Louis, near which city was his
country place. He lived in the old
fashioned style of keeping open house
for friends and neighbors. His hospi-
tally was noted. He was never en-
gagged in political life except in his own
neighborhood, where he was always
called upon to preside at political
meetings. He was always a stanch
democrat, and boosted that he had yot-
ed for every democratic president since
he attained his majority except Buchan-
an, of whom, for some reason, he did
not approve. He almost invariably
came to Washington to attend presi-
dental inaugurations. An uncle of
Mr.. Dent was member of congress
from Maryland, and gave the casting
vote when the election of Jefferson was
carried into the House. Mr.. Dents re-
mains were carried to st. Louis for in
terment, escorted by Gen. Grant and
his family.-Ben: Perley Poore.
