tie is what the Lambards call converted Jew.
frederick Cent?, Secretary to the Congress Of
Vienna, was child of Israel. Several millions
Of the Jewish race persists in believing only
part Of their religion. There is one fact which
none can contest. Christians may continue to
persecute Jews, and Jews may persist in dis
believing Christians, but who can deny that
Jesus of Nazarath, the Incarnate Son Of the
Most High God, is the eternal glory of the Jew
ish race?
"The European nations are indebted to the
Jews for much that regulates, much that charms
and much that solaces existence. The toilinp
multitude rest every seventh day by virtue of
Jewish law; they are perpetually reading, for
their example, the records of Jewish history and
singing the odes and elegies of Jewish poets
and they daily acknowledge on their knees with
reverent gratitude, that the medium of commu.
nicaton between the Creator and themselves is
The Jewish race. Yet, they treat that race as
the viIest of generations and instead of lori-
caly looking upon them as the human family
that has contributed most to human happiness,
they extend to them every term Of obloquy and
every form of persecution"

Woman's Character.

There is not among Natures most delicate
treasures bud 80 tender and fragile as is the
character of woman. The slightest breath Of
suspicion is sufficient to wither its virgin purity !;
the veriest mist which may by chance float be
fore its star-like radiance will, ere ole be con.
scious of its existence, gather into dark, threat
ening cloud, obscurng and forever shutting out
the light which is enShrned upon the aitar of
virtue.
AS ripples on the quiet bosom of the wave i,
though awakon~d by the kiss Of a tiny blossom
leaf OF the fall of floating feather, 60 on still
spreading and expanding till the charmed circles
break on either shore, so, when the Ilghtest word
Of suspicion falls from an unguarded lip, it is
echoed by smother and yet another and another,
increasing as it goes, until what was at first
simply a surmlse or an unmcanlng remark, be.
comes confirmed by repetition and is everywhere
reported and credited thus the character of the
person assaed, though before as stainless as the
summer pave Of heaven is now forever and Ut
ierly ruined; she becomes at once the object of
tpId distrust-her most trivial actions are watch
ed with thousand Argus eyes, reported, can
vasscd and misunderstood, either intentionally or
through ignorance, and made the subject of
heartless remarks and indecent mrth sghted,
avoided, misiudged and disgraced, the cup which
was once brimming with the unchecked happiness
OF innocence and youth, is now bitter with the gall
OF despair, and, weary and alone, the star Of her
life goes down in obscurity and oblivion
And 10 whom is this ruin attributable ? The
answer is only too obvious to those individuals
whe ontributed to confirm the first unjust sus-

"A friend !" said Emma, at the momsnt catch
ing the eye of the young man in the coach
she knew it to be Henry Barney, their af-
| fectionate meeting we need not describe.
The mother no longer opposed-and in few
days the beautiful Emma Hammobd became the
happy bride of the once mich despised black
smith of New England.
1t may be necessary here to inform the reader
that Emma, ever faithful to the object of her
early affection had kept up private correspon-
dence with Mr. Barney from the time she had
left her New England home, and had, therefore,
been fully advised of all the important changes
that had taken place in her native city. The
young lawyer, so carefully selected and so much
praised had wasted his fortune by dissipa ton
and neglect Of his business while the humble
but industrious mechanic had saved his small but
steady earnings, and when the day Of the snle
arrived, had ample means to purchase the state.

This he bought and had fitted up and furnished

had added large ard commodous wing for the
express accommodation of her widowed mother
On returning from New Orleans, Mr.. Barney
took possession of his new home, and after ar
ranging the affairs Of the house agreeable to the
taste and convenience of his excellent young
wife, conducted Mrs. Hammond to her apartment
and addressed her as follows:
Mother, (for such am happy to call you,
this room, with its furniture, have fitted up for
you-make this your private apartment. You
have been bereft Of home, and kind husband
But you shall not want. My home shall be your
home, while you live--and when called to ar
exchange of worlds, my prayer shall be, that you
may find better home and more substantial
happiness. You have suffered much but YOU
shall now rest from anxiety and care -
These touching remarks sank deep to her heart
She attempted to express her gratitude for such
distinguished favors, unmeritcd as they were
but, with eyes suffiised with tears and hear
overhowing, could only say" God bless YOU
and sank down upon the sofa, ovcrpowered by
The kindness anA affection of him whom she was
once pleased disdainfuy to call I" A DIRTY

| ng whom il condemns; it does not stop to re
fleet that the morning buds of youth are but
Just unfolding along her pathway-that she
Inns no conception that the world is not lust as
bright and beautiful and blissful Paradise, as the
fond illnsve visions Of childhood have pictured i;
that the free gushngs of her unfettered he.rt
arc yielded tenderly and trustfuIly to the keep
ing OF others, with no suspicion of deception or
betrayal; no. the world does not consider this,
but gives her credit for the same amount of ex
perience, the same knowledge Of art and intrigue,
the same cunning and skill in the practice of
deception which chnracterzes its own expert
ence and conduct to so great an extent and con.
seqnenty, fixing the basis OF all its reasoning up
on this ground, it must of course be prepared to
see all her actions in a perverted light. and to
form judgments concerning them according to
its wncorrupt surmises, and the knowledge it
possesses of falsily and sin supposng her in the
dewy morning OF her life. capabe of being actu-
ated by the same motives Of crafliness as it
knows prompts its own heart although that
heart has grown old and polluted, and hardened
in its experience.
1t is plain, therefore, that the greatest difficult.
ty arises from the fact that people Judge of others
too entirely from a knowledge of themselves,
and this, in our humble opinion, is far from be-
ing correct standard whereby to estimate fe-
male character, and more especially that of the
youthful and unprotected. Viewing the subject
in its trae light, therefore, does it not appear the
immediate duty of each and every individual, as
an accountable being, to observe the utmost
caution in all his remarks and observations, lest
he utter that which may tend to lessen the beau
~ of womnn's character, for it is far, far better
that she be asleep meath the cIods of the valley,
than to live on bearing the withering blight Of u

DR.. Johnson, when in INDECENT circnmAan-

into orders. But this great man, SENSIBLE as is
supposed of the osperi'y of his temper, declined
it; saying, have not the requisites for the
office, and cannot in my conscience shear the
flock which am unable to feed" Well would

Not on the bloody hsld of woe,
Won he his fame;
Where strife and discord meet and jar
With sword and fame.
No leader he of steclgrt band
70 met the foe,
And scatter dpaih On every hand;
And pun and woe.
No waving plunes, no bloody star
Decks his fair brow;
No fiery charger, stamps TO bear

No buge note Of victory
Tells us he comes;
No cannon roar, triumphant cry,
Nor beating drums,
No-in tho Senate 'tis ho wiclds
The flaming sword
OF truth. He strikes-the foeman reels
At every word.
There has he stood almost alone,
While hemmed around
Yet like sturdy oak has growns
And triumph found,
He seize d our flag of Liberty,
Trailing in dust;

that they could hardly cease from it for

earthen vat, three yards high, was imme-
diately ordered. Then holes, answering
to the number OF applicants, were periora-
TED around it, aud in each hole long
reed was inserted. Hot Goals were then
laid in this vat pipe. which was then filed
with Virginia weed. The ten smokers
