The Jews.

The present physical, moral and
social condition of the Jews must be
a miracle. We i come Ia no 9th
er conclusion. Had they continued
from the commencement Ot the chris
tan era down TO the present hour,
IN some such national state in which
we find the Chinese, walled off from
the lest of the human family, and by
their selfishness on a national scale.
and The repulsion of alien elements,
resisting every assault from without.
10 the shape of hostile invasion. and
from an overpowerIng national pride
forbiddinr the introduction of new
and foreign customs. we should not
see so much miracle interviewer with
their existence. But this is not their
state-far from 1t. They are neither
a united and independent nation. nor
a parasitic province. They are peel
ed and scattered into fragments: but
like broken gIobules of quicksilver,
instinct, with a cohesive power. ever
claiming affinity, and eve ready TO
amalgamaic. Geography. arms. ge-
mus polite and foreign help, do not
explain their existence; time and eli
mate and customs equally fail TO un-
TaVeln. None of these are or can
oe springs of their perpetuity. They
nave spread over every part of the
TfT6table globe; have lived under the
reign OF every dynasty. they have
SHARED the protection of JUST laws.
'ne oppression of cruel ones. and wit
messed The rise and progress of both;
ihey have used every, and have lived
IN every latitude. The SHOWS OF
Lapland have chilled. and the suns
OF Africa have scorched them. They
have drank of the Tiber, the Thames.

Green Corn Stalks for FODDER
Where soIIing, that is. feeding with
cut green food in summer, forms any
part of farm economy, We doubt not
that corn, sown broadcast for this
purpose, may be made to form 4 very
profitable crop, either as a main de-
tendance or us auxiliary to short or
spare pasture. 1t gives the greatest
burthen Of green food, ard of as nu-
TRENT a quality as clover, though it
can hardly be made to yield a cutting
before August. 1t might we'll come
in alter clover, as food for cows and
pigs. Mr.. Holt, Of East Haddam,
CT. has made some experiments in
raising corr in this way for soiling;
and he has found that sixteen square
rods ofground, sown with gourd seed
corn, the 18th of June, gave food and
substance for a horse fifty days, and
lhirty-three days for a cow. An acre
would in this way, he thinks, feed
thirty cows for d month. 4 small
patch could not fail to be serviceable
on any dairy farm, TO supply tie de-
fciency of pasture in August and
September.-B.

Whenever YOU attack yonr neigh

SO as not To wound his feelings.
Make it a rule to keep company

Never forgive an injury. The

When Won have done an act OF

they may do 50 too. Besides every
man a preach best from ms own

Temperance is a great virtue
therefore always be moderate IN the
use of ardent spirits. Six glasses OF

When you are in church, 90 to

THE POETRY OF CHILDHOOD.

BY MISS C. L. roo
The poetry of c~hildhood's years:
How deeply do we feel,
In the young heart, the fairy dreams
That DER the spirit steal.
No studied words then give them birth;
Wild as the unform'd air
That breathes from the Eolian harp,
Yet melody is there.
And oft as LIES dull years roll by,
Upon some glowing page
We meet the misty thoughts that came
In c~hildhood's golden age.
Clothed in the light of genius, then,
An ecstacy unknown
Gushes upon the heart, 10 find
II has not felt alone.
Oh, sympathy! Thou bond ofbliss!
Thou golden thread! which binds
In union sweet, though sevcr'd here,
The bright and kindred minds.
How does my spirit pine for thee!
And feelings deepest tone
Thrill-when a glance hc;rays 4 soul
Congenial TO my own.
Bot, oh! how rarely are such CLEANS
OF brightness to earth given;
Then let my spirit fondly dream
IT'S bliss reserved for heaven.

LIVERPOOL AND THE SLAVE TRADE.
The Editor of the Albany Even
ing Journal, now in Europe, writes:
in a former letter l spoke of Liver
pool as having been extensively and
pro6tably engaged in the Slave Trade.
| have since ascertained that its sins,
in this respect, were Of the deepest
and darkest hue. An extensive
block OF. stores on the quay, erected
by merchants engaged IN the Slave
Trade, took the name Of the "Goree
Piazza," which they still retain
George Frederick Cooke, the great
tragedian, who came on the stage
here in 1879, to play Richard the
Third, after having kneIt too devout-
~ at the shrine OF Bacchus, was loud
" Kissed, but after resolute efforts to
hiss and pelt him off, finally obtained
a hearing, and addressed the audience
as follows: SIT is hard enough TO SUBJ
NIT to the degradation of such a pro-
fessIon as thai in which ! appear, but
it is the lowest depth of disgrace to
be compelled to play the bufioon for
the amusement of a set of wretches,
every stone of whose streets, every
brick Of whose houses, every block
OF whose docks, is grouted and &C.
mented by the blood and marrow of
the stolen and murdered African" II
is added. that the indignant and with
ering rebuk of a drunken play-actor
was more effective, in a:ousing the
shame or singing the conscience of
the Liverpool African Merchants,
than the appeals Of Clarkson Or Will

Conc INTO PARTNERsmr.-Some
wag of a newspaper editor has per
petrated the following story:
A western man who, for aughl
that we know to the contrary, might
have been from the Devils Fork On
the Arkansas, was treading the upper
deck OF a steamer, with measured
strides, on which, chained TO a post.
almost in his path, was an ugly, H.

Major Talbot rode about I quarter

New York Knickerbocker is rcSpon-
sible for the following:
A matter Of fact old gentleman in
New England, whose wife WAS a
thorough-going "Destructionist," was
awakened out olhis sleep by his '.pos-

March night. "Iusband, did you
hear that noise? It's Gabriel a-com-
