MISCELLANY.
A RICH HEIRESS.

One of the daughters of Rothschild
has become the wife Of Henry Eitzroy,
member of Parliament and has also
adopted the christian religion. The
bridegroom was 81. two days after his
marriage. and is said to be,a man OF
fashion. The Liverpool correspondent
Of the New York Star says:
The late Baron de Ro.hschild left two
daughters. Each have fortune OF
Ri50. 600, dependent on the consent OF
sheir brother. Baron Lionel de Roths
child, TO their marriage. One of them,
1 believe, is married. to Mon,6ore, late
sheriff OF London, Hebrew gentleman
Of great wealth and responsibility. The
Rothschilds move in the very first circles
in London, and thus Miss Ro,hschiId
became acquainted with young Fitzroy.
He was formerly in the army. When
her father was alive, young Austrian
nobleman, Private Secretary TO Prince
Esterhazy, proposed for her but her
father declared she should marry none
but one Of the Jewish faith.
When Miss Rothschild determined to
marry Mr.. Fitzroy, she went 10 see the
Archbishop OF Canterbury, and told
him she wished to become Christian.
His Grace inquired into particulars. and
then very properly told her that he did
not consider love affair sufficient reas.
on for her abandoning her religion. She
is said to have assured him that it had
tong been her intention to become a
Christian. and that her family were a.
ware OF it. On this, the Archbishop
said that. IL il appeared her sincere de.
sire TO become a Christian, from convic.
ton. he had no alternative but TO acce ut
and baptize her. He communica ID
with heI family, and it appears that she
had informed them of her intention.
The marriage was private. and unatten
ded by any of the family. Her brother
has the power Of Withholding the for
tune lett 10 her by her father, but it is
not expected that he will do more than
have il so settled upon herself and her
children as TO prevent the chance other
husband sGusndering it. 1t is expect
ed. also. that her family will shortly re.
ceive her.--Shouid she become Brit,
ish peeress. as is likely in the course of
time. she will be the first iewess who
las ever been in like situation.

The ca!ae Of the Credit System -iUus.
trated. About ten years aso a poor and
Flooding, but hard working and homes.
son OF Erin, bought small tract ofland
with small house upon it, for which
ne contracted to pay four hundred and
nifty dollars, aud gave his Bond and
Mortgage for The money. Flo: the fist
year or two it seemed to go hard with
him. He did not pay the interest even
and some fear was entertained that
his time and his money were not well
laid out. Upon a little urging and the
encouragement Of long forbearance Of
the principal, at the end of the third
year, he paid up all the interest. He
appeared then TO have new life, and
was resolved upon greater exe-tions ::
and concluded il he could put off the
payment of the principal, he would re-
pair his house, aud add 10 il little. and
manure his land.
He accordingly went to work deter.
mined to accomplish his purpose. From
this time, he was pretty regular in his
annual payments, not only of interest
put on account Of the principal, and this
Spring he discharged the whole balance
OF demand against him, and has now a
house as big again as the enc he pur.
chased, and land worth twice as much
money as it was, from the clearing and
cultivation; aud is out OF debt. In the
mean time. too, his family has increas.
ed TO some five or six children, all oil
whom have been very well taken care
OF, IN their plain, coarse way of living.
And this is the effect and value of the
credit system. If that poor mana day
ia6orer only-had not found friend 70
trust him for house and lot, for home
Tor his family, he would probably never
have saved. penny. not only because he
could not have lived SO cheapIy in any
other way, but especially because he
would not have had the powerful in
ducement TO labor and economize " hich
his obligation created. and which the
preservation OF his house and lot reouir.
ed
lie never turned his back, at any
.'me. upon glass ofgood whiskey and

might easily have yielded 10 tkat. He
Is now in comparatively comfortable cir
cumstances, and is grateful to his friend
not only for the confidence he reposed
IN him, but Tor the motives he placed
before him to industry. economy and
perseverance.
This is a case within our personal
knowledge; and it is only a case of
thousands and tens Of thousands of cases
which our country affords, and which
demonstrate the creative power and i'm
mense value of that credit system which
so many foolish men now days are
doing their best to break down.
