The city stands on the ancient site; the Mount of Olives looks down upon it; the foundations of the Temple of Solomon are on Mount Moriah; the Pool of Siloam has still a cup of water for those who at noontide go down to the Valley of Jehosaphat; the ancient gate yet looketh towards Damascus, and of the Palace of Herod, there is a tower which Time and Turk and Crusader have spared.
Stephen's Gate by the Governor's Palace, which stands on the site of the house of Pontius Pilate. Here, in the wall forming the northern part of the foundation of the temple, there are some very fine remains of ancient workmanship. From the city wall, the ground descends abruptly to the Valley of Jehosaphat.
And in the rock within the chapel yet appear the fingers of our Lord's hand, when he put them in the rock, when the Jews would have taken him. And from thence, a stone's cast towards the south, is another chapel, where our Lord sweat drops of blood. And there, right nigh, is the tomb of King Jehosaphat, of whom the vale beareth the name.
I sent for you to tell you I want vegetable soup for dinner to-night, thick and greasy. The fish must be cold and no sauce, the goose half done, ham raw, vegetables unseasoned, rice pudding with no sugar, bread burnt, and coffee weak as water. If you see that this is done I will give you five dollars to-morrow. If anything is fit to eat you don't get a cent." "Jehosaphat hisself!"
That gentleman seemed to be once more obstructing the path of Good Indian. He dodged back as Grant brushed past him. "By the great immortal Jehosaphat!" swore Baumberger, with an ugly leer in his eyes, "I never knew before that I was so small I couldn't be seen with the naked eye!" "You're so small in my estimation that a molecule would look like a hay-stack alongside you!"
Then looking at Roland with an indefinable expression of raillery and affection, he added: "Ninny!" Then suddenly he burst out: "Oh! by the way, and the Englishman?" "Exactly, the Englishman, general. I was just going to speak to you about him." "Is he still in France?" "Yes, and for awhile even I thought he would remain here till the last trumpet blew its blast through the valley of Jehosaphat."
"Confound these granite rocks!" he exclaimed, one day, as he was ploughing, after he had broken his trace chains for a second time; "they hev another kind er rocks in Calliforny. Jehosaphat! If I was only thar. There a fellur hez to dig; but he gets pretty good wages five thousand dollars a month is middlin', not to say fair."
With great outward show of rebellion, half genuine, half facetious, he made several tentative scrapes with the razor. He winced violently, and violently exclaimed: "Holy jumping Jehosaphat!" He examined his face in the glass, and a streak of blood showed in the midst of the lather. "Cut! by a safety razor, by God! Sure, men swear by it. Can't blame 'em. Cut! By a safety!"
Broughten's Christian name begins with 'J. Whether 'John' or 'James' I can't say!" "I don't care if it's Jehosaphat!" snorted Queenie. "I've told you already he doesn't interest me in the least!" On Strike It was about this time that a general spirit of trouble and dissatisfaction seemed to creep into the school.
In that hill and in that same place, at the day of doom, four angels with four trumpets shall blow and raise all men that had suffered death, sith that the world was formed, from death to life; and shall come in body and soul in judgment, before the face of our Lord in the Vale of Jehosaphat. And the doom shall be on Easter Day, such time as our Lord arose.
