previous day, moved that the trial go on. If the
prisoner had any objection to the Jurors, the proper
time to make the exception was when the persons

The Different Color Of the Jews.

Although the Jew becomes the subject of every
form of government-from the au,orracy Of Rus
sia to the democracy OF America-he retains his
heocratic creed. Neither barbarism the most
rude, nor civilization the most refined, have sue
ceeded in altering his peculiar counenance for,
in the back woods of the New World, and at The
Court of the British Sovereign, he is instantly
known. Time, that changes all things else. seems
to stay his rough hand when he approaches the
Jew. Compare his llneaments when sculptured
IN marble and cast in bronze-for the arch and
the medal OF Titus still exist-with those of the
living Jew, and be convinced of the Unchanged
beness. The permanence OF phvsiugnomy is
identity traceable to a supernatural cause which
prevents the usual modification of feature in or
der TO accomplish an important object Into this
1t is not our province how TO enter, yet, we can
not help remarking that the Jew is a witness not
of one truth, but of many truths. Marvelously
does he illustrate the consistency of the original
unity OF man with the most extensive diversity
His features have been cast in an eternal mould,
but his color is dependant ON outward causes
Natural law is forbidden to operate on the one,
but left to take its with respect to the 9TH
er. fixed physiognomy declares the unity OF the
people, while their diversity of complexion as dis
tinctly manifests the influence of climate. Every
shade Of color clothes with It's livery the body of a
Jew, from the jet black of the Hindoo TO the ruddy
white Of the Saxon. The original inhabitant of
Palestine was doubtless dusky skinned and dark
haired but the cooler sky and more temperate
air of Poland and Germany have substituted a fair
complexion and ligh, hair. On the other hand lhe
scorching sun of India has curled and crisped his
hair, and blackened his skin, so that his features
alone distinguish him physically from the native
Hndoo. On the Malabar coast of HindoJstan,
are two colonies of Jews-an old and young
colony-separated by color. The elder colony
are black, and the younger dwelling in town
called MattacherD comparatively fair, so TO
have obtained the name of the White Jews
This difference is satisfactorily accounted for by
the former having been subjected to the influence
of the climate for much loager time than the
latter.-British Quarterly Rcrie,o.

Sustain your Own.

Home industry, home enterprise and home
trade. in the hands of worthy and competent men
should always be nourished and supported by the
community of which they constitute portion.-
Many reasons can be adduced for the justice Of
this position. Do We propose to sustain men OF
integrity and high moral qualifications In what
soil do the moral sentiments flourish and grow
with more vigor than in the hearts of tong hu-
man beings, in the various branches of laborious
industry or in the drudging professions Who so
richly deSerUe support as those who depend upon
their daily labour for sustenance, and are always
the submissive agents of the will of communities
and individuals! An nanswer would be superhuous.
If you wish to break down and ruin any country
village, go to the city and purchase such articles
of various kinds as are made at home by your own
hard working neighbors, and leave them to receive
the wretched deprecated patronage of such as
are compelled to make exchanges to get along, and
subsist upon mere barter deal. This is one excel
lent mode of running place. But there is anoth-
er road which leads you straight 10 the precious
pool of conscious and active benevolence. Go to
the weary Ar,izan Of your own town and buy his
wares and articles, and pay him. Cheer his labours
with a Just compensation Give hlm chanCe OC-
casionally to see the light of hope through the
clouds of care and poverty. A wife and children
perhaps cling to him for the necessarles OF life.
He may have wandered the weary journey of life
until the of his existence has passed its mer-
dian his locks may be " intermingled with gray"
and still he has no ''shOt in the locker" Most as
suredly the good citizen and philanthropist will
appropriate his influence, patronage, and money
at home, in support of all the Mechanic Arts and
Professions much as is practicable or consist
ent. Example has its wonted effect in this mat
ter, consequently we look TO our townsmen of
standing and character 10 give permanence and
direction to the Ball. of home industry and en-
terprize. II is for them to Indicate by their acts,
the success failure OF our stores, shops, Presses,
and professions, and whether itinerant persons of
unknown and doubtful reputation should pOssess
so peculiar charm as TO secuSe their regard as
well as money patronage, while the wolthy aud
qualified are among our number al home. .--Lacka-

A.Dreanl of Summer.

Bland as the morning breath of June
The southwest breezes play;
And through lis haze the winter noon
Seems warm as Summer day.
The snow-plumed angel Of The north
Has dropped his icy spear;
Again the messy earth looks forth,
Again the streams gush clear.
The fox his hill side cell lorsakes,
The muskrat leaves his Eook,
The blue-bird in the meadow brakes
Is singing with the brook.
Bear up, o Mother Nature!" cry
Bird, breeze, and streamlet free,
''Our winter voices prophesy
Of summer days 10 thee :"
So in the winters Of the soul,
By bitter blasts and drear,
O'erswept, from memory's frozen pole,
Will sunny days appear,
Reviving Hope and Farh, they show
The soul lis living powers.
And low beneath the winters snow
Lie gems of Summer flowers.
The night is mother Of the day,
The winter Of the spring,
A nd ever upon old decay
The greenest moses cling;
Behind the cloud the starligh, Turks,
Through showers the sunbeams fall;
For God, who loveth all his works,
Has left his Hope with all.

Increasing Longevity.

The assertion by DR.. Stevens, of New York, in
recent lecture, that the longevity OF the human
race was gradually increasing under the in6u-
ence of the Improvements in the medical proes-
sion, has been reviewed by Prof. Gatchell, of the
Eclectic Medical Institute, Cincinnati, taking an
extended view of the facts furnished by history
and statistics and showing that from the time OF
the roman empire down to the present day. pro-
eressve ameoration in the condition of man. and
an increase of average longevity, had been taking
place, on account of Improvements in industrial
pursuits and the comforts and securities Of life
He traced the operation of these causes in q.
Britain, producing an average longevity at present
nearly twice great in the days of the heptar-
chy and the subsequent periods anterior to the es-
tablishment of the rights of the people. 10 at.
tribute the increase of longevity to the labors Of
the medical profession, he considered contradictory
to the whole testimony OF history. 1t would be far
more rational he thought, to attribute the improve
men, to The steam engine, the printing press, the
magma charta, or any other OF the great agencies
which have assisted the progress ofcivliization.
