forest, far from the noise Of men, wa.

search Of few wild fruits and berries
TO make up his frugal meal. Hskeard

down saw fox, both Of whose fore
legs were broken, wreathing like a
snake on the ground, and apparently
starving. TIE gpod hermit was about
TO seek some food for the helpless crea-
ture, when an eagle appeared, soaring
high overhead, and suddenly let fowl
fall from his talons directly at the
feet Of the fox. The starving animal
seizes gresdily onahe rresious prize,
and soon made hearty meal of it. 'Ah,,

True TO his resolution, he returned to
his cell, and neither plucked the fruits
that hung on the trees around him, nor
went down 10 the brook 10 quench his
thirst. Three whole days he lived thus,
and was wasting away 10 shadow, in
the vain hope Of direct interference
Of heaven. On the evening Of the third
day, just as he sunk into slumber, thun-
Ger rolled through the cave, he saw a
form OF angelic beauty, and heard a
sweet though solemn voice that spoke
thus" Mortal, how feeble is thy un-
dertaking! Could'st thou thus mlsin-

FEMALE SOCIETY.

We have often remarked 10 our in-
tercourse with society, the unacCoun"
table reserve and coldness of the young
men Of the present day, when in COM
pany with ladies. Their politeness is
distant, their conversation stiff, and for
the most part in monoSyabes, and they
are evidently under degree of painful
restraint, strangely Inconsistent With
our ideas of gentlemsDIy department.
Whence is the cause Of this? is a
query which we have put to ourselves,
and to whichswe have found difficulty in
finding an answer.
There 10 none of that ease and ele-
geDce of manners in the Young men Of
the present age, which distinguished
The /" gentlemen Of the old school"
and the reason is SIMPLY this: they are
TOO selfish in their pleasures, too fond Of
associa,lng among themselves, anc
neglscting the cultivation Of that char

THE PARTING SUMNER.

LIE fAhIlNG SUMMEh.i
BY MRS.. HEMANs. ..
Thou'rt bearing hence the roses,
Glad Summer; fare the well! .
Thou'rt singing thy last melodies
In every wood and dell .,r
But in the golden sunset
OF the last lingering day,
Oil tell me O. 'er this checkered earth
How hast thou passed away2
Brightly, sweet summer brightly
Thine hours have Aoated by
To the joyous birds of the woodland
boughs;
The rangers of the sky!
And brightly in the forests
To the wild deer bounding free;
And brightly midst the gardon flowers
To the happy murmnring bee.
But how to human bosomS,
With all their hopes and fears;
And thoughts that make them eagle wings
To pierce the unborn years?
Sweet Summer | to the captive
Thou hast flown in burning dreams
Ofthe woods. with all their hopes& leaves,
And the blue, rejoicing streams,
To the wasted and the weary,
On the bed of sickness bound;
In sweet, delicious fantasies,
That changed with every sound
To the sailor in the pillows
In longing, wild and vain
For the gushing founts and breezy hills,
F." And the homes of earth again.
And unto me, glad Summer!
How hast thou flown to mel
My chainless footsteps nought have kept
Front thy haunts of song and glee.
Thou hast flown in wayward visions,
In Memories Of the Dead
In shadow from troubled heart,
Der sunny pathway. shed;
In blief and sudden strivings
To flight await aside
Midst these, thy melodies have ceased,
And all tIry roses died
But oh thou gentle Summer
If greet thy flowers once more,
Bring, me again thy bouyancy,
Wherewith my soul should soar
Give me to hail thy sunshine
With song and spirit free;
Or'ia puter land than this
MAY our next meeting be |

a Wealthy COn0er3 -I'he late Bar,
on do Kothsch'ld left two daughters.
Each have fortune OF Que hun6Iod and
fifty thousand pounds, dependent on the
consent Of their brother, Baron Llone
de Rothschlld, to their marriage. One
of them, believe, is married 10 Mot
fore, late sheriff of London, Hebrew
gentleman of great wealth and respect.
ability. The Rolhschllns move in the
very first circles in London, and thus
Miss Rothschild became acquainted
with young Flizroy. He was formerly
in the army. When her father was
alive, young Austrian nobeman, prl-
vate secretary to Prince Es,erbazy,
made proposals of marriage 10 her, but
her father declared she should marry
none but one Of The Jewish faith. When
Miss Rothschild determined 10 marry
MIR. Flzroy, she went TO see the arch-
bshop of Canterbury, and told him that
she wished 10 become a Christian. His
grace inquired into particulars, and then
very properly told her that he did not
CONSIDER a love affair sufficient reason
for her abandoning her religion. She is
said TO have assured HIM that it had long
been her intention 10 become chris
tian, and that her family were we'll
aware Of il. On this, the archbishop
said that, if it appeared her sincere do .
sire to become Christian, from con-
viction, he had no alternative but TO ac-
cept and baptize her. He communica-
ted with her family, and it appears thai
she had informed them Of her intention.
The marriage was private, and unatten-
ded by any of her family. Her brother
has the power Of withholding the for
tune left to her by her father, but it is
not expected that he will do more than
have it SO settled upon herself and her
children as to prevent the chance of heI
husband squandering il. 1t is expected,
also, tha. her family will shortly receive
her. Should she become BRUSH peer
ess, as it is likely in the course of time,
she will be the first Jewess who has ev-
or been in the like situation.

TEA IN RussIA.-The Russians are the
most invelerate tea drinkers out Of China;
and with such excellent tea as they have,
the passion is quite excusable. Tea in
Russia and tea 10 England are as different
as peppermint water and senna: With us,
il is dull, savourless dose, in Russia it is
a fresh, invigoraling draught. They ac-
count for the difference by stating, that,
as the sea air Injuries tea, we ge' only the
leaves, but none of the aroma of the plant
which left Canton, while they, on The
other hand, receiving all their lea over
land, have it just as good as when il left
the celestial empire. Be the cause what
il may, there can be no doubl Of the fact,
that tea in Russia is Intimately superior 10
any ever found in other parts Of Europe.
Englishmen are taken by surprise on last
ing it; even those who never cared for tea
before, drink it during their whole stay in
Russia.
