THE ARROGANCE OF WEALTH.

The vassalage Ct fashion, which is a
pant OF rank, prevents continually the free
expansion Of mems powers. Let us have
the greatest diversity of occupations. But
this does not imply that there is a need Of
splitting society into castles or ranks, or
that certain number should arrogate su-
periority, and stand apart from the re ST of
men as ID separate race. Men may work
in different departments Of life, and yet
recognise their broherIy relation, and hon
or one another, and hold friendly COM
munion with another. Undoubtedly. men
will prefer as friends and common asso-
clates, those with whom they sympathise
most But this is not to form a rank or
caste. For example, the intelligent seek
out the intelligent; the pious those who re-
verence God. But suppose the intellec-
tual and the religious to cut themselves of
by some broad, visible distinction from the
rest Of society, to form clan of their own
10 refuse admission into their houses peo-
pie Of inferior knowledge and-virtue, and
to diminish as far as possible the occasions
Of intercourse with them would not socie-
ty rise up as one man against this AFRO
CANT exclusiveness? And if intelligence
and piety may not be the foundations of
caste, OH which ground shall they, who
have no distinction but wealth, supe rior
costume, richer equipage, finer houses,
draw lines around themselves a higher
class? That some should be richer than
others is naturally and is necessary, and
could only be prevented by gross violations
of right. Leave men to the free use OF
their powers, and some will accumulate
more than their neighbors. But to be pros
porous is not TO be superior, and should
form no barrier between men. Wealth
ought not to secure to the prosperous tine
slightest consideration. The only distinct
ion which should be recognized are those
of the soul, Of strong principle Of useful
seeking for the truth. a man, in proper
ton as he has these claims, should be
honored and welcomed every where.
see not why such man however coarsely
if neatly dressed should not be a respected
guest in the most splendid mansion, and
at the most brilliant meetings. A man is
worth infinitely more than saloons, and The
costumes, and the show Of the universe.
He was made 10 treat all these beneath his
feet. What insult TO humanity is the pre-
sent Difference to dress and upholstry, as
if silk worms and looms, scissors and need
les, could produce something nobler than
a man. Every good man should protest
against caste founded on outward pros
perity, because it eXals the outward above
the inward, the material above the spiritual
because it springs from and cherishes a
contemplate pride in superficial and tram
STORY distinctions; because it alienates
man from his brother, breaks the tie of
common humanity, and breeds jealousy,
scorn and mutual i'll will.

SOAKING CORN TO FEED HORSES.
A gentleman, who resides in Baltimore

SOAhl OONlN ~ 4 ILL -
A gentleman, who resides in Baltimore
county and who is one of the most SUCCESS
ful farmers in our vicinity. informed US a
few days since, that he saved at least one
third Of his corn by the manner in which
he fed it out to his horses. He has two
hogsheads placed in his cellar. where they
are secure from freezing. These he first
fills with corn. in the ear, then pours in
sufficient quantity Of water to cover tho
corn. After the ears have been thoroughly
soaked he commences feeding, gives to the
horses t,co thirds the usual quantity allow
ed. If one Of those hogsheads become end
ty he fills it; and by the time the other is
empty the one last filled is sufficiently
soaked for use. Ia this way the cobs be-
come so sofiened that the horses consume
the whole of them, and they are thus made
TO add fully one third more to his stock of
feed. He answers US, that hi. horses eat
the cobs with avidity, keep in good order,
and are as competent to'periorm plantation
labor us when they, consumed the grain
alone. The success of our informant
should stimulate his agricultural brethren
to follow his example, as the labor OF pre-
peration is nothing, compared with tho

HE BEAUTY OF THE JEwEssEs.- no

of rich and gorgeous beauty which distin-
gulshes the fair daughters Of the lsraeites?
The cause OF their surprising loneliness
may be known 10 our readers who are con-

nefit of those who have not read that author,
or, having read, do not remember, we copy
his 'poItico philosophical remarks upon
the subject.

Jewish race were so much handsomer than

The Jewesses,' replied. have es-
capped the curse which has aighted upon
their fathers, husbands, and sons No, a
Jewess was to be seen among the crowd of
priests and the rabble that insulted the Son
of Man, scourged him, crowned him with
thorns subjected MIN to ignomny and the
cross. The woman Of Judea believed in
the Savior; they loved, they followed him,
they soothed him under Affections. A
woman Of Bethany, poured on his head the
precious ointment, which she kept in vase
of alabaster; the sinner annonted his feet
with a perfumed oil, wiped them with her
hair. Christ on his part, extended his
grace and mercy to the Jewesses; he rails
ed from the dead the son Of the widow Of
Nam, and Martha's brother, Lazarus; he
cured Simon's mother-in-law, and the wo-
man who touched the hem Of his garment.
To the Samaritan women he was a spring
of living water, and a compassionate Judge
to the woman in crime. The daughters
Of Jerusalem wept over him, the holy wo-
man accompanied him 10 Calvary; balm,
AID spices, and weeping sought him at the
sepulchre: woman why weepest lhou?'
His first appearance was to Magdalen; he
said to her. Mary!' a. the sound Of that
voice MagdaIen's eyes were opened, and

CURIOUS RELIC.

There is curious relic OF bygone days
over the door Of public house in Hudson
street, between the Greenwich Bank and
Hammers!ey street, Of which few guess
the origin. 1t is a sign Of fish with a
ring in its mouth. Tradition says, that in
the year l743, young nobleman disguised
as sailor, won the heart of a beautiful
village maiden on the western coast of
England. 1t is the old story Of woman's
londness and woman's faith. She trusted
him. and he deceived her. At their part
ing, they exchanged rings Of betro,hal.-
Time passed on, and she heard no more
from him, till at last there came the insult
ing offer OF money as a remuneration Of
her ruined happiness. and support for her
sell and child. Some time after she learn
ed to her great surprise, that he was a no.
bleman Of high rank, in the royal navy,
and that his ship was lying near the coast.
She sought his vessel, and con jured him.
10y all recollectons Of her confding love,
ana OF his own earnest protestallons, TO do
her justice. AT first he was moved, but
her perlinacity vexcd him, until he treated
her with an angry scorn, for presuming
to think she could ever become his wife.
'God forgive yo,l,' said the weeping
beauty, let us exchange our rings again,
give me back the one gave you, 1t was
my mothers, and could not nave parted
with 1t 10 any but my betrothed husband.
There is your money, not a penny of it
will ever use, it cannot restore my good
name. or heal my broken heart. | will
labor TO support my child
In sudden fit of anger, he then threw
the ring into the sea, saying When you
can recover that baubIe from the fishes,
you may expect TO be the wife Of British
nobleman---l will give you my word Of
honor, to marry you then, and not till them
Sadly and YEARLY, then the maiden
walked home with her poor old father
On their way the old man bought fish
hat was offered him, jus, taken from the
sea. When the fish was prepared for
supper that night, 10! Lord WaIling ford's
ring was found in its stomach.
When informed Of this fact, the young
nohIeman was so strongly impressed with
the idea that i, was direct interpostion
Of Providence, that he did not venture to
break the promise he had given. He mar
rled the village belle, and they lived long
and happy together. When Lord Walling-
ford died,a obeisk was erected to his me-
mory, surnounted by the effigy of Il fish
with ring in its mouth. Such story was
sung by wandering beggars and travelling
mendlcan,s, until it became a universal ira
dition. Some old Scotch emgrants brought
II over 10 this country, and there in Hud-
son street hangs the fish and the ring to
commemorate the loves Of a past century.

DoCToRs.-Now that | am talking of
doctors, what strange set they are, and
what singular position they hold in soci-
ETY.! Admitted to the fullest confidence Of
the world, yet by strange perversion,
while they are the depositaries of secrets
that hold together the whole fabric of So
ciety, their Influence is neither fully re-
cognlSed, nor their power acknowledged.
The doctor is now what the monk once
was, with this additional advantage, that
from the nature of his studies and the re-
search OF his art, he reads more deeply in
the human heart, and penetrates into its
most Utmost recesses. For him life hes
little romance: the grosser agency Of the
body reactng over the operations of the
mnid, destroys many a poetic dream and
many high wrought allusion. To him
alone does man speak, con derniermot;'
while to the lawyer the Ieanlngs of self
respect will always make him impart ia
vorabe view Of his case. To the phys;-
clan he will be candid and even more than
candid,-yes these are the men who,
watching the secret workings of human
passion, can trace the progress of mankind
in virtue and in vice; while ministering to
the body they are exploring the mind; and
scarcely the shadow of fear dlssipated,
when they fall to their humble position in
life bearing with them but little gratitude,
and, strange to say, no fear!
The world expect them 10 be learned,
well bred, kind, considerate and attentive,
patient to their righteousness, land enduring
under their caprice; and after all this, the
humbug homeopathy, The preposterous alb
surdity of the water cure, or the more re-
prehensi5le mischief of mesmerism, will
find more favor in their sight than the high
est order of ability, accompanied by great
natural advantages.
