Suddenly, and with the merciless strength of want, he w as ma d e to look on life in its fiercest, fo u l es t aspec t. H e saw at once the grimidol he had to serve, and all unconsciously, he served it. Unconsciously, too, he carried in his hand, look, hie air, his speech, a premature wisdom. He had learned, as at once, his whole task ; but the suddenness of the teach ing had wiped out childhood from his face : he had paid at one sum, although he knew it not, the price of life, for life's worst knowledge. How very differently did young St. James con his lesson, life ! In reality, only six months younger than his squalid brother—for in this story St. Giles and St. James must fraternize—he was still the veriest babe, Why, it was gladness to the heart to look at him —to hear his blithe voic e —t o see hi m, i n that happy freedomof infancy, when children play in the vestibule of life—as children sometimes play with flowers picked from graves in a church porch ; heedless whence they pluck their pleasures, thoughtless of th e mys t ery of mysteries taught within.

What a man he would make) What a bless ing he would prove to his begetters , NA , hat a treasu re to the world at large ! And so , young St. James, fed with the sweetest and the best, clothed with the softest and richest—f on dl e d, kissed, caressed — was , in truth, a glori ous creature. There was happiness, delicate beauty, in his soft pink and white cheek—innocence , intelligence, in his large, laughing eyes. All he knew of the world was. that it was o ne l arge p l ay - p l ace tilled with many-sorted toys ; with battledores, humming-tops, and rocking horses.

We entered by a very humble doorway from the silent street, and, passing through a dark gallery of some length, entered a large apartment, which equalled in oriental luxury any that I had yet seer,. The ceiling was slightly arched, and crusted with stalactites of purple and gold. that seemed to ha'e oozed out from some rich treasury above. The walls were of panelled cedar, or sowie such dark and fragrant wood, exquisitely carved; and curtains of Damascus silk were gatt,ered into thick folds between piasters of cedar, po lished, vet rugged with rich carving. The windows were without glass, hut the foliage of some orange trees sof tened the sunshine into a delicious gloom, lending all the effect of painted glass, with the addition of a quiver, which added coolness to its shade. The furniture was simple, as is customary in the East, and consisted only of divans, or wide silken cushions, ranged round the walls, but little elevated above the floor. This was of marble mosaic, wrought into floral emblems, such as bells, pomegranates, tke., with a white marble basin of clear water in the midst. A rich, tufted carpet, in which the foot sank as in a mea dow, was spread in each corner of the upper end ; and leaving our slippers on the marble floor, we took our seat on the divan. When seated, my hest laid his hand upon his breast, and repeated his welcomes. He then clapped his hands; and pipes —an unusual luxury among the Jews —were brought by two little black slaves, with white tu nics and scarlet caps.

My entertainer spoke with respect of Bishop Alexander, and of the other missionaries : he said he gave them credit for the best motives, but that it was all in vain to hope to proselytise his people. " The Ro mans," he added with enthusiasm, " could not condemn Manlius in sight of the Capitol, and the Hill of Zion is not a likely spot for a Jew to forsake the faith of his forefa thers." " The Christkns do not honour Zion less," I observed, " becau se th4f also point to Calvary.

THE CHARGE OF SHOPLIFTING.—We stated in our last that Miss Osborne (daughter of Sir John Osborne, Bart.) had been committed on charge of several ants of shoplifting. On Thursday she was again brought up at the Queen-square Police -court, which was much crowded. Her father and mail , of the gentry, his neighbours, were in attendance. She is a person of good fieure and rather pleasing countenance. Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, at tended in her behalf, and she was accommodated with a chair when placed at the bar.—Joseph Russell, being called, stated in eff-ct that on the previous Saturday the prisoner came t o hi s mas t er ' s s h o p i n a flurriedahte. and, while being served, took from the counter a pot of beef worth ls. 6d., for which she did not offer to pay, and went away with it. He followed her and brought her back, when she offered to pay three times the price of the pot if she were let go. She did not then appear to be more flurried than any person in a similar situation might be expected to be. The pot was his master's property, from the date which it lore, "sth November." in his master's handwriting. She had one other pot of meat in her hand when he followed her, and another she dropped and broke upon the railings of art area in Sloane-stret t.— Mr. Allum, the owner of the property, said there were remains of a mark on the pot now, but the mark was almost obliterated. He could have identified it on Satur day, but could not swear to it now.—An assistant to a Mr. Murray, stationer, Sloane-street, said the prisoner was at his employer's office ott Saturday afternoon, and asked to look at some tracts. She bought two and paid lid. for them. Nothing, however, against the prisoner was elicited from this witness, who had been sent by the police ; and Mr. Clarkson reprehended eueh an attempt to fasten a second charge upon her. He then called upon the magistrate to remand the prsoner for a week or ten days, in order that he might be prepared to meet the case against her. and applied far her bzing admitted to bail. This was agreed to, and Sir Jahr ()thorn and the lion. Edmund Byng, who presented themselves, were accepted as bail. He own recogntzances of £5OO, and those of her two friends in £250 each, were then accepted, and she was remanded until Saturday next.

And the circumst ance t o be observed in the rubrical alterations with rrspect to this collection is, their general reference to communicants." And, in this manner Mr. Wickham accounts for the op portunity given, by the first hook of Edward VI., "to the whole assembled congregation to contr;bute to the offer tory." He mentions a very interesting fact connected with this subject,—that, in eight or nine parishes. forming a district in the dioce-e of St. Asaph, " it has been the custom, from time immemorial, to make a collection, whenever there is a communion, from the whole congre gation." This custom is plainly to be traced to the time of Edward VI. It seems, however, that the weekly ad ministraCon of the Lord's Supper was found to be im- practicable. The rubric of 1552 chinged the order given F., tr..... !A T ,t • • rentainea until tote!. The whole economy of pauperiem graduellv underwent an alteration. The general assessment of 1572 deprived it of its eecles'astical character. In the final revision of the Prayer-Book in 1662, the direction to the minister to plead for the poor was erased, and the alms at the offer tory were to be " disposed of to such pious and charita ble uses as the minister and churchwardens shall think fit." There is every reason to believe that, before this time, the collection had not extended to those who were not about to partake of the Holy Sacrament. Ati objec tion has been made to this start merit. It has been said, that the rubric of the last revision, at the end of the Com munion Service, beginning " upon Sundays and holydays." &c., restores the practice enjoined by the rubric of 1549. Mr. Wickham meets this objection fairly and forcibly. He shews that the necessities that produced the rubric of 154 9 still continue in some places —Fraser's Magazine. YOUNG ST.
