silver doll ars, it would pave a street, twent
feet in wedth, two hundred and hfty-one
miles in length.
Were it divided among the 100000 citl-
zens of New York, each man, woman, and
child would receive Sl5,294, through
which each family would claim to be
wealthy. Counting at the rate of 5000
dollars per hour, and ten hours day, al
low three hundred counting days for the
year, it would require three hundred and
fifty-four men to count this in year: while
two at the same rate would count more
than all the treasure Of our late wealthy
citizen Girrard.
This was a part only of the treasure of
this young prince by his father; surely a
very fair beginning for young man, lack
ing but trihe of the whole national debt OF
England His annual income of pure gold
after this, was 20,795,5l7 dollars, which
could be only small part ofall his income;
as he made silver like the stones in the
street in abundance, and all the kings OF
the earth poured their treasures at his feet,
no part of which probably was reckoned IN
this sum. David assembled the throne poor,
and reigned forty years; reckoning only that
part of his treasure mentioned above, his
annual income must have been about lOO,-
100000 dollars. But David was scarcely
mentioned as rich man, while Solomon
was so richas to make his age emphatically
the golden age, as silver was little or no
value on account of its abundance, and the
prevalence of gold. AT the least calcula-
ton then, we may set his yearly income at
twice the amount of David's-viE. 200, 000,-
900; which reckoning out the Jewish festi-
walls and Sabbaths, would amount to nearly
a million per day.
How would the income of the French
king-the modern Cresus--compare with
this?-Adpocdte and Journal

ed, had occurred to him, and he turned round
to watch the packet down to Hamilton. Up
on being assured that his "dawter" and her
lover had escaped from the boat, he put
whip to his horse, and set off in pursuit OF
them, to the great ofthe passen-
gers, who united in opinion that they had now
seen a real runaway match.
AS yet we have been unable to learn the
result of this youthful and loving flight. II

love never did run smooth" albeit, it now

They travelled in post coach, and while
on the first stage, after each had made mer-

at every batting place to affect the same sin

they we're all to squint--and language can
not express how admirably they all squint-

perlative. At dinner they all appeared TO

breakfast. At tea they were all deaf; but
at supper, which was at the "Ship," at Do

better to play his part in the farce they had
concerted among them. When they were
ready to go to bed, Cibber cried out to the
waiter, Shere, you fellow! take out my
teeth.' "Teeih, STRIP said the man. "Ay,
teeth, sir. Unscrew that wire, and they'll
come out together" After some hesitation
the man did as he was ordered. This was
no sooner done than second called out,

the waiter, "your eyes" ayes, my eye.

This done, the third cried out, "Here, you
rascal! take off my leg" This he did with
less reluctance, being before apprized that
it would be his last job. He was however,
mistaken the fourth watched his pportunl'

THE RICHES OF SOLOMON.

The word of God to Solomon was that he
should excel all who had preceded him
in both riches and wisdom, and that none
should arise after him that should be his
equal in these respects.
So far as relates to his wealth all Will
readily yield him the palm. We have no
data from which to estimate his entire
wealth-yet, from some part his income
which is mentioned, and from part OF the
treasure left by his father which is specified,
we fix it far beyond that of any other prince
mentioned in history.
Tho two articles of gold and silver,
which David prepared for the temple and
left to his son, besides the iron, brass, &c.
sc. were 100000 talents of gold, worth
S., 3,646'S75, and one 100000 talents
of silver, worth 81 1863, 946,997. Or the
weight Of the gold would be $3.50 tons and
the silver $3.50 tons of pure coin. The
gold would load a string Of wagons, calcu,
lating fifteen hundred pounds TO load, and
three rods in length for team, sixty miles
in length, and the silver six hundred miles
in length. At the common rate oil driving

ARABIAN IDEA OF WOMEN.

The Arabians hold women in rather low
er estimation, as appears by the following
expression of their general views in this
respect by Lane:
"The wickedness of women is subject
upon which the stronger sex among the
Arabs, with an affected feeling of superior
virtue, often dwell in common conversation.
That women are deficient in Judgement or
good sense is held as a fact not to be disput-
ed even by themselves as it rests on an as
sertion of the Prophet; but that they possess
a superior degree ofcunning is pronounced
equally certain and notorious. Their gen.
eral depravity is pronunced to be much
greater than that of man. Il STOOD said
the Prophet, at the gate of Paradise; and
10, most of its inmates were the poor; and |
stood at the gate Of Hades; and 10, most Of
its inmates were women In allusion TO
women, the Califat Omar said, consult
them and act the contrary of what they adj
vise.' But this is not to be done merely for
the sake of opposing them, or when other
advice can be had. 1T is desirable for
man, says learned Imam, before he en-
tiers upon any important undertaking, to con-
suit ten intelligent persons among his par
ticular friends; or if he have no more than
five suchfriends, let him consult each ofthem
twice; or if he have not more than one
friend, he should consult him ten times. at
ten different visits: if he have not one to
consult, let him return to his wife and con-
suit her, and whatever she advises him to
do, let him do the contrary; so shall he
proceed in bis affair and attain his object
A truly virtuous wife is of course, executed
in this rule; such person is as much res
pected by Moslems as she is lat least ac-
cording to their own account) rarely meet
with by them. When woman was created,
Satan we are told, was delighted, and said.
Thou art half of my host, and thou art the
depository of my secret; and thou art NV

LAST WORDS.

by JAMES T. ousELEY.
When the receding shore
Ofdearest home dims on the anxious sight,
The bravest hearts deplore
The parting of the soul-the farewell blight;
Stin hope will peace restore,
As midnight mourners yearn for mornings light
The dropping dow'rets die;
Leaves fade--the ripping rivulets are still;
Darkness o'erveils the sky,
Fen birds have ceased their sweet melod,ou.
trill;
Yet spring will beautiy,
And they return; for such is Natures will.
These will again renew,
The birds their songs, the trees their leaves, the
flowers
Bloom in their rainbow hue;
And silver streams, fed by the summer showers,
Sing to the Heavens calm blue;
but these are not of us, they are not ours.
Ours are the dearest ties:
once fed, what voice the lost one can recall!
In climes beyond the skies
Ihe spirit scars, too purified to fall.
Memory alone can rise
Upon The wings of LOvs,-yes, that is all.
The last, the tristful scene,
When friends are gathered round the silent bed
When SHE, alone serene,
Smiles while their tears in agony are she'd;
Shall we not comfort CLEAN,
To know eternal bliss awaits the dead!
The kind familiar face
Yet miss we from our own domestic hearth;
We mourn the vacant space,
And all the~unshine of past joyous mirth.
No more can we replace
taer our hearts loved above all things of earth
The faint LAST WORDS we hear
FROM the fond lips Of the departing one,
Whisper "She is not herep,
Assure US that forever she is gone.
Still viii we hold them dear.

THE VICTIM.

"THR END THEREOF Is DEATH"
I saw him at the festal board,
His bearing proud and high,
Health glow'd upon his manly cheek,
And pleasure in his eye.
He stood among the jewellers
With one consent their chief,
With wine and song and merriment,
Dispelling care and grief.
/ saw him in the banquet hall,
His lofty step and air
Wrought direful havoc 'mong the hearts
or maidens young and fair;
And all who heard his gentle voice,
And saw his winning smile,
Knew well that in his open heart
There lurk'd no secret guile.
And who can know the joy that fll'd
The widow'd mothers breast,
As on her sleeping son she gazed,
While on his couch of rest;
1t were no sin to worship him
The dOating parent said,
So like is he to him loved,
Who now is with the dead.
But oh, what changes time doth work
In every thing Of earth
We see its Wanton ravages,
Commencing with our birth;
Death and decay are written
On every human brow,
And those we lov'd in early youth,
OSay, where are they now!
Years passed, and with them boyhoOd too
Stern manhood came at length,
But the noble, high sOul'd youth,
Had thrown away his strength;
His early hopes had Perish'd,
His early friends were gone,
In deep and loathSome drunkenness
His life was passing on.
And where was she who bore him?
That marble slab will tell
How of broken heart she died
When he her first born fell;
The angry winds are sweeping DER
Her grave below the hill,
Her cottage home is desolate--
All there is hush'd and still.
Time rolled along, again stood,
A brother, at his side
With hOrrid blasphcmy he curs'd
Our mothers God and died.
Would ye not in perdition's gulf
At last be swallowed up,
Beware young man the tempter's snare,
The REvEL and the CUP.
