How TO JUDGE CArrLE.-In all domestic ami
mails. the skin, or hide forms one of the best
means by which to estimate their fattening pro-
pertcs. In the handling of oxen, if the hide be
found soft and silky to the touch, it affords
proof of tendency to take on flesh. A beast
having perfect touch, will have thick, loose,
skim floating as it were, on layer of soft fat
Welding to the slightest pressure, and sPrngln,g
back towards the finger like piece of soft leah-
er. Such a skin will be usually covered with an
abundance of soft, glossy hair, feeling like bed
of moss-and hence is ever termed mossy skin.
But thick-set, hard, soft hair, always handles
hard, and indicates hard feeder.

THE JEws.-The new Chancellor of the En-
chcqucr DIseacli, ,-''the wondrous boy who wrote
Alrory,"-in his recent Life of George Bentck,
has many interesting statements and specuations
as to the children of Israel" of whom he is one.
In one place, he remarks that "the allegation
that the dispersion of the Jewish race is penal
ty incurred for the commission of great crime
the crucifxion of Jesus Chnst-is neither histo-
really true or dogmatically sound 1t is not
historically true, because the Jews were as much
dispersed throughout the world at the advent
of our Lord as they are at the present time,
and had been so for many centuries"
Again he says: The Jews, after all the havoc
and persecution they have experienced, are prob
ably more numerous at this date than they were
during the reign of Solomon the Wise; are found
All which proves that it is in vain for man to
attempt to battle the inexorab!e law of nature
which has decreed that superior race shall
never be destroyed or absorbed bysan Inferior
Again: If the reader throws his eye over the
Provisional Government of Germany, of Italy,
and even of France, formed in le4S, he will re-
cognize every where the Jewish element. Mani,
who accomplished the insurrection, and defence
and administration of Venice, is a Jew, who pro-
fesses the whole of the Jewish religion and be-
eves in Calvary as we'll as Sinai. He is what
the Lombards call converted Jew. Frederick
Cent?, Secretary of the Congress of Vienna wa
child of Israel Several millions of the Jewish
race persist in believing only part oftheirreligon.
There is one fact which none can contest-chris-
tians may continue to persecute Jews, and Jews
may persist in disbelieving Christians, but who
can deny that Jesus of Nazareth, the Incarnate
sou of the Most High God, is the eternal glory Of
the Jewish race9
The European nations are indebted to the
Jews for much that regulates, much that charms,
and much that solaces existence. The toiling
multitude rests every seventh day by virtue OF a
Jewish law; they are perpetually reading for their
example, the record Of Jewish history; and sing
ing the odes and eiegie, of Jewish poets; and
they daily acknowledge on their knees, with re-
verend gratitude, that the medium of communi-
cation between the Creator and themselves is the
Jewish race. Yet they habitually treat that
race as the very vest Of generations, and in
stead of logically looking upon them as the hu-
man family that has contributed most to human
happines, they extend to them every term Of
obioquy and every form Of persecution.

TIE OLD MAN AND HIS GRAND CHILD.-Ihere
was once a very old man, whose eyes had become
dim, his ears deaf, and whose knees trembled
under him. When he sat at the dinner table,
he could scarcely hold his spoon, SO that some
times he split his soup on the cloth.-His son
and daughter were much displeased at this, and
at last they made their old father sit in corner
behind the stove and gave him his food in lit
tie carthen dish.
He never got as much us he could cat, and he
would often look towards the table with wet,
longing eyes.
One day his shaking hand let his little dish
fall, and it was broken. The woman scoded but
he said nothing; he only sighed. Then they
bought wooden trough for him.
Once as he was sitting thus in the corner, his
little grand child, about four years ole, was play
ing on the floor near him with some pieces of
wood.
What are you making" asked the father, smi'
ling. -,
Il am making little trough answered the
child, for father and mother to eat from when
they are old and am grown big
The man and his wife looked at each other in
silence, and their tears flowed fast They brought
their old father back to the table, gave him as
much food as he wished, and they never again
spoke an angry word when his trembling hand
split soup OH the cloth.

The AMERICAN EXPEDITION TO JApAN.-The
American expedition to Japan is viewed with ex-
traordinary favor by all the Journals, both Eng
lish and French, that have commented upon
the subject at all. The Paris Constitutional
says:
"The success of the expedition cannot be
doubted for an instant, especially if it is conduct
ed, as every thing leads US to expect, with a
mixture of moderation and frmness. Accord
ing to the manner in which the commodore shall
act, he may merit the gratitude of all christen-
dem. In all probability, tbs japanese will not
be of long duration. We bid the Americans
God speed, and shall hear with real pleasure of
the success of their mission, because We are sure
tnat it will be accomplished without great or un-
necessary bloodshed."

LHE's SEASONS.
BY RICHARD c0E.

BY RICHARD Coh.
There is a sspring-time Of the heart
IT'S found in infancy
When on its mothers breast the babe
First smiles in dimpled glee:
When, like the bud upon the stem'
Its life is but begun,
And pearly tear drops flee the eyes,
AS shadows flee the sun!
There is Summer of the heart
'Tis found in early youth
When life is full ofjoyousness,
Ofinnocence and truth:
When clouds but seldom intervene
To mar the sky SO bright,
And all is but fairy scene
OF Ofexquisite delight!
There is an Autumn the heart
IT'S found in ripper age
When sorrowsa familiar thing,
And grief an heritage:
When shadows thick and dark come o'er
The beauty Of the sky,
And by their dim obscurity,
Foretel some danger nigh!
There is Winter of the heart
'Tis found in later year
When life is full of bitterness,
Or vain regretful tears:
When stormy winds and chilling blasts
Blow with so fierce breath,
That we would fain seek shelter in
The anchorage Of Death!
Whene'er the Autumn Of the heart
Shall cloud our lives with gloom,
And Winters cold and chilling blasts,
Remind US of the tomb;
If We but act our pats Alright
On Times uncertain shore
Our souls may know in Purer clilnes'
A Summer evermore!

Why Don't you Cry, you Fool ?-The trial
at the Salisbury Assizes, lately of an unlucky
wight, who had been helping himself to his neigh
bor's goods gave rise to piece ofingenuity on
the part of o well known lawyer, which to us,
who chanced to witness it, was somewhat anu
sing. The prisoner had been defended by coun-
sci, all that could be said on his behalf had been
said but the case against him was too palpable
to admit shadow of doubt and verdict Of
guilty was pronounced. The judge seemed to
look upon the culprt, who was a rough looking
fellow, destitute alike of friends and character,
with some degree Of pity, and previous to pas
sing the sentence of law upon him, commenced
giving him few words of advice. The benevo-
lence Of his lordship's tone was not thrown away
upon the lawyer, who seemed to feel that as
long as there was chance of helping bis client
he was bound to do his utmost; unobserved, there
fore, he at once whipt behind the DOCK and put
ting his hands to the sides of his mouth, whisper
ed to the prisoner as loud as prudence would per-
mit-"Why don't you cry you fool Be quick
you'll save a month at least !" The eulprit, who
before this, was standing as unmoved as statue,
Immediately took the hint, rubbed his eyes with
his knuckles, and for moment seemed overcome
Jy sense of the degraded situationin which be
stood, The dodge answered. Il trust (said his
lordshp) that the sense ofshame which you
now feel will prevent you from appearing again
in such a situation in court Of justice, and in
that hope am induced to pass upon you mnch
lighter sentence than should otherwise do,
which is, that you be imprisoned in the House
of Correction, in this county, for the space OF
one month" The fellow, we were afterwards
informed, is a most hardened rascaf-Deipes

The JEsUrs.-The Genoa correspondent Of
the New York Times says that great dissension
and rebellion has recently sprung up among the
Jesults at Rome and Naples not respecting any
new religious principles, but in relation to re,
form in the fashion of their hats, called by the
Italians eapelloni. The younger members of the
order have decided to wear three-cornered hats,
as better adapted to the pr,gress of the age.
The elder fathers, condemning this innovation,
as against the rules of the order, have protested,
and 90 in favor Of the large hats.
Father Roothan, the General, has published
an article in Naples, ordering all the members of
the Company of Jesus, young, middle-aged and
old, to adopt threccornered hats, threatening
the rebelious with ecclesiastical tcrrors and ex-
pulsion from the mystical and political order Of
Loyola. The Italians predict probable sehism
among the Italian Jesuits. One party will be
called "Protestant," and the other Reformed
and Three-C Cornered," Jesuits.

view in the preamble 10 their resolutions:

declaration, our preference for him as the proper
candidate in the next Presidential election. We
prefer him because he has been tried, and found
true, faithful, honest, and Conscientious; because
We believe that under his Administration we shall

TERRIBLE AFFRAY took place, on the 18th
instant, on board the steamboat Martha No. 2, on
her way up the Mississippi river from st. Louis to
Galena, near the town of Louisiana, Missouri.
The difficulty grew out Of an attempt the part
OF one Of the hands TO commit an outrage upon the
wife of one OF the deck passengers, when.the hus.
band knocked him down, and also had a scuffle
with two or three Of his comrades; upon which the
captain sent two of the deck hands ashore. Late
in the night the crew armed themselves with iron
crowbars and wrenches, and in a body attacked
the family passengers to which the nsulted party
belonged, Consisting Of an old man about sixty
years of age, his two sons, and several females
and though the attacked party fought desperately,
succeeded in overpowering and beating them in
most brutal manner. Three of the ruffian crew,
however, it is thought, cannot survive their inju-
ries; and Of the assaed party the old man and one
of his sons were LETT lying in hotel at Louisiana
in a hopeless condition, the old man having several
Of his ribs broken, and the son his skull fractured
in several places. The family attacked said
to be Americans OF very respectable character.
