Of early fortune, which are abundantly suffi-
cient TO carry conviction that parents may con.
fer far greater and more lasting benefits upon
their offspring While this young man with
100000 as a start, was hurrying to the vortex
which he ultimately reached, there were otn-
ers who set out in the world without dollar,
but with fair education, and habits of indus
try and enterprise, who are now our most veal
thy and respected merchants and artizans.-
Our city contains many such-aye, for ought
we know, majority of our successful trades
men have made some such beginning.
Wealth that is gained by industry is always
best taken care Of, and most likely to he ap-
piled to proper uses. The young man who is
left with a moderate start in business, or even
without any thing more than good education
and ha bits, is much more likely to succeed in
life, and prove an useful and really independent
member of society, than he VINO jumps into
$50, 900 on his "freedom day" This to some
may seem paradox, but it IS nevertheless so;
every observant person will at once acknowl-
edge the correctness Of it. Education and we'll
formed habits, even without money, are far
more successful, as general rule, than an
early fortune, with habits Of inactivity, and
an indulgence in the fashionable vices aud
| follies of the day.

Christians: and having made this point as
manifest as his resources Of information
will admit, he advances the proof from his
tory that they have never been removed
from that country. The inference then
follows, that inasmuch as there are very
few nominal Jews in that region, and no
others dsclaiming a Hebrew descent, the
HISTORIANS must be descendants OF the lost
tribes. To establish these positions essen
tial, Of course to the integrity of his argu-
ment, he enters upon a critical examination
of the historical evidence, and discovers
great industry in his researches; after which
he draws upon prophetical writings Of the
Old Testament for inferental testimony to
the same point.
The language Of the HISTORIANS is con-
sidered in the next place. They speak
dialect of the Syriac, and the same as that
of the small portions of the Jews who are
still inhabitants of that country, uncover.
ted from JEWISH One Of the most inter-
esting, if not most valuable, proofs of the
authors theory, is derived from the FIRE.
quency of Jewish names among the Nesto-
rian Christians.
The observance by the HISTORIANS OF Pc
culiar rights and customs of Jews, DR.. G.
remarks, furnishes very strong evidence Of
their origin. Sacrifices, still offered on GER
tain occasion, notwithstanding their con-
version to christianity; vows made to God
to do something for his glory, first fruits

flesh and other meats prohibited by the
Levlticai code; their fasts and festivals;
baptism Of infants on eighth day after the

ARON BURR AND HIS DAUGHTER.

The following Incidental narrative of
part of Aaron Burr's life, we take from an
exchange paper. 1t may be said to form a
brief, but graphic sketch of his whole his
tory, which was more distinguished for its
singularly eventual character than any other
individual who ever figured in the annals OF
this country.
The history of every nation is fraught
with romantic incidents. England has the
history of her Alfred; Scotland of her Wal
lace, her Bruce, her Mary, and her Charles
Stuart; Ireland her Fitzgerald, and her En-
met; France her man with the Iron Mask,
and her Marie Antoinette; Poland her
Thaddeus; and Russia her Siberian exiles.
But we very much doubt whether any ex-
ceeds in interest the exceedingly touching
story of Aaron Burr and his highly accom-
pIished, his beautiful and devoted daughter,
Theodosia. The rise and fall of Burr in
the affections of his countrymen are sub
iects of deep historical interest At one
time we see him carried on the wave of
popular favor to such giddy heights that the
Presidency itself seemed almost within his
grasp, which he only missed to become the
second officer in the Republic. He became
Vice President of the United States. How
rapid his rise! and then his fall, how sudden,
how complete. In consequence OF his duel
with Hamilton he became a fugitive from

THE UNFORGOTTEN.

Forget thee will school my heart,
Though hard, oh, hard, the lesson be,
To know no more the hopes, the joys,
That mingled with the thought Of thee.
Forget thee! yea my soul no more
Fer the shall kindle into flame
No more the pulses of my heart,
Shall throb with fever at thy name.
Forget thee! if the things that were
Had stamped no image on my breast,
The sight of all that thou hast loved,
The hallowed earth thy foot hath pressed,
would forget thee! if the voice
tlf music did not sound as thine;
.Oi if thy heart in all l see
~ and love were not revealed to mine.
If when among the worshippers
sit and offer up my prayers,
My thoughts, my worship, were the same
And offered at one shrine with theirs
could forget thee, but to thee
My Utmost thoughts, my prayers ascend,
With thee my prisons begin
In midnight dreams of thee TO end
Forget thee! If it be thy wish
NAV not--dare not dsobey,
Though every parting thought must rend
Some dearest chord of life away.
Thus only may thy will be done
Thus, only thus-ccn forget
For while one trembling tlIrob remains
Thou art its soul--its being yet
Then when my last of tears is shed,
My last fond word of sorrow spoken,
Remember thou--I know thou wilt,
The heart, bright girl, that thou hast broker
Then would not my throne exchange
For crowns or all that crowns can give
One moment in thy thoughts to reign
One moment in thy heart to live.

of South Carolina. She was married young,
and while her father was near the zenith of
his fame. She was beautiful and accom-
plished, lady of the finest feelings an ele-
giant writer, a devoted wife, fond mother
and a most dutiful and loving daughter, who
cung with redoubled affection to the for
tunes of her father, as the clouds of adver-
sity gathered around him and he was de-
serted by the friends he formerly cherished.
The first duty Burr performed after his ar
rival here was to acquaint Mrs. Allston of
his return. She Immediately wrote back
to him that she was coming to see him, and
would meet him in few weeks in New
Work. This letter was couched in the most
affectionate terms, and is another evidence
of the purity and power of woman's love.
In the expectation of seeing his daughter
in few DAYS, Burr received much pleasure.
She had become his all on earth. Wife,
grandchiId, friends and all were gone; his
daughter alone remained to cheer and solace
the evening of his life, and to welcome him
back from his exile. Days passed on, then
weeks, and weeks were heightened INTO
months, yet naught was heard OF Mrs
/ Alston. Burr grew impatient, and began
to think that she, too, had left hlm--so apt
&c misfortune TO doubt the sincerity OF
friendship. A length he received letter
from Mr.. Allston, inquiring if his wife had
arrived safe, and stating that she had sailed
from Charleston some weeks previous, in
vessel chartered by him on purpose to con-
vey her to New York. Not receiving any
tidings of her arrival, he was anxious to
learn the cause of her silence. =,
What had occurred to delay the vessel!
WHY had it not arr vedl--Ihese were
questions which Burr could ask himself, but
no one could answer.
The sequel is soon told. The vessel neo'
er arrived; it undoubtedly foundered al sea
and all on board persisted. No tidings nave
ever been heard respecting the vessel, tie
crew, or the daughter of Aaron Burial
were lostl-This last sad bereavement was
only required to fill up Burrs cup of sorrow.
| "Thc last link was broken" which bound
him to life. The uncertainty of her fate
but added to the poignancy of his grief
Hope, the last refuge of the afflicted, be-
came extinct when years had rolled on, and
vet no tidings of the loved and lost one
were cleaned
Burr lived in New York until the year
1886, we believe, when he died. The last
wears of his life were passed in comparative
obscurity. Some few old friends who had
never wholly deserted him were his com.
panions they closed his eyes in death, and
followed his body to the grave, where it will
rest till the trump ofthe Almighty shall call
il into Judgment.

THE TEN LOST TRIBES FOUND.

DIR. Grants interesting searches in the
heart Of Persia, just published by the Har-
pers, spread before US with gratifying full
ness the evidence upon which he assumes
that he has discovered in the Assyrlan
man 1tains the ten lost tribes of Israel, after
. neri,d of $500 years. The work Isl
among tire mos: valuable publications OF
tho modern press. 1t appears by the an
nexed summary that the people have ira
dition OF their supposed origin:
|. The tradition is general, and unlVer-
SALLY believed by the HISTORIANS tnrougn-
ont Assvrla and Media. They speak OF 1t
of their own accord, in all places and IN va
lions circumstances. Smith and Dwight,
in the course of their short visit to the Mes
,orian Christians, were struck by their SIN
gular assertion that they were The descen-
dants OF the ten tribes.
9 The hatred existing between the Mes
torians and the Jews torbds the idea OF the
fabrication of the tradition. What mo-
lives could lead them TO claim affinity with
their most implacable enemies! Is II cred
lille that any unfounded tradition of this
kind connecting them with people with
whom they will not even eat bread, would
have been universally received among all
the HISTORIAN tribes?
; 3 Their ignorance Of prophecy forblds
the idea that the tradition originated with
their religious teachers, in view OF the great
,, TEMPORAL blessings promised to the Jews.
a. The secluded situation OF the great
bodv of the HISTORIANS almost precudes
$ the possibility of their having received the
2 idea of Hebrew ancestry from the neigh
boring nations. They chiefly inhapit IN
accessible mountains, where they are shu
j; out from extraneous influences.
i The HISTORIANS have also another tradl
ton. which though distinct in its nature, il

NOT a little to the testimony. 1t is tina
