Good night! good night! each joyous tone Is hushed in silence now; And I am left to weep alone, And sorrow clouds my brow; Have, one by one, passed to the grave, Grief, bitter grief, my heart pervades, For no glad voices murmur then, And yet why should I mourn that those Life's chequered day will shortly close, And I, with them, shall rest; How sweet will our re-union prove, In that fair world of light, Where tears are never linked with love, And “there shall be no night."

At its entrance, the Pool of Siloam, represented in our engraving, is situated, though the fountain from which it is supplied has its origin at a considerable distance. The accounts which have come down to us of this place, so interesting from its connexion with Holy Writ, are somewhat contradictory, as are also the pictorial representations, owing probably in some instances to the variety of appearances it presents under different circumstances, and more especially such as are consequent on the occurrence of wet or dry seasons. Probably the best description of it is to be found in the Church of Scotland's "Narrative of a Mission of Enquiry to the Jews," a work to which we have frequently had occasion to refer, and which well deserves the attentive perusal of all our young readers. 66 Passing under the rocky face of Ophel," says this account, we came to the Pool of Siloam.
