THE DIFFERENT COLOR OF
THE JEWS.

Although the Jew becomes the
subject of every form of government
--from the autocracy of Russia to
the democracy Of America-he retains
his theocraiic creed. Neither barha>
rism the most rude. nor civilization tine
most refined, have succeeded in alter.
ing his peculiar countenancc; for, in
the back woods Of the New Word,
and at the Court of the British Sovc'
reign. he is Instantly known. Time,
that changes all things else, seems to
stay his rough hand when nc APP
proachcs the Jew. Compare his lin.
eaments when soul ptured in marble
and cast in bronze for the arch and
medal of Titus still exist xith those
Of the living Jew, and be convinced of
the unchangeableness. This pcrma-
nence of physiognomy is evidently
traccabIe to a supernatural cause,
which prevents the usual I'D tcatio :
Of feature. in order to accomplish an
important object. Into this it is not
our province now to enter, yet we
cannot help remarking that the Jew
is a witness not of one truth, but OF
many truths. MarvclousIv does he
illustrate the consistency of the origI
nal unity Of man with the most extcn.
sive 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
tho one, but left to take its course
with respect to the other. A fixed
physicgnomy declares the unity of the
people, while their diversity of com
plexion as distinctly manifcs'J the in
fluence of climate. Every shade OF
color clothes with its livery the body
Of a Jew. from the jet black of the
Hindoo to the ruddv white of the
Saxon. The original inhahitant OF
Palestine was doubtless dusky skinned
and dark haired; but the cooler sky
and more temperate air of Poland and
Germany have substituted fair COM
pIexion and light hair. On the other
hand. the scorching sun of India has
curled and crisped his hair. and black
ened his skin, so that his features
alone distinguish him physically from
the native Hindoo. On the Ma!abar
coast of H:ndostan, arc two colonies
Of Jews-an old and young coIony--
separated by color. The elder colony
are black, and the younger dwelling
in n town called MattacherD cnmpar-
a,ively fair, so as to have oblaincd the
name of the white Jews" This
difference is satisfactorily accounted
for by the former having been sub
iected to the influence of the climate
for much longer time than the lat
ter.--British Quarterly RerleW.

the tragic symptoms supposed to arise. Without
the loss OF a drop of blood, bis spirit died within
him from the mental impression; and when the
veil was raised he had ceased to live
The brave and chiyalrous General De Kalb- who
fell at the battle Of Camden, at the eve Of that mem
orabe engagement, told his brother officers that ne
felt for the frst time, that his hour had come and
making his last requests, rode into battle and soon
received in his heart the fatal bullet that brought
his towering form to the earth.
The gallant General Pike, the night before the
storming of the British fortress at Little York, n
the war Of 1912, made his preparations for death,
and wrote letter giving directions for the future
education, &C., of his beloved daughter, under the
avowed impression that he was not to survive the
expected battle, though, as commanding officer,
he was not necessarily to be exposed to danger
The battle came-the fortress was blown up by the
threatening foe, and small stone, thrown to the
distance ofa quarter of a mile. struck Pike. who
was sitting on stump, apparently out of the way
OF all harm, and caused his immediate death.
Our lamented Ransom, as we are informed by
an officer of his regiment who fought by his side,
the night previous to the terrible battle Of Chepul
tepec, talked of home and family, and the melan-
choly thought of falling far away from them in
a strange land, In a manner which convinced all
that he had been seized with an overpowering pre-
sentiment of his approaching fall.
