WHEN NEWSPAPERS PLRAsE-An indie
pendent newspaper has to encounter great
difficulties in winning its way to popularity.
We all admire the editor who fearlessIy
battles for the right anil condemns the
wrong; but when an article appears which
treads on our own toes, runs counter To our
opinions, or shoots at folly which we feel
rankles in our own heart, we are very ant
to think the press little too independent.
The London Leader thus felicitously ex-
plains the secret of newspaper popularity
!" 1t may be very wise to see both sides Of
q question, and to be more anxious about
what can be said for you; but the fact is.
that the object of most men in buying n
newspaper is to enjoy the statement Of their
own artieulate notions in the shape of ar
tistic development and expression. A rea-
der never SO thoroughly enjoys paper as
when he can say, that is exactly what T
have said myself and he always tries TO
buy that paper which can give to his own
opinions an air of the greatest point and
wisdom. 1t is looking into a mirror which
tells him, not the superficial aspect, 90 in
adequate to the expression Of his real beau
ty and dignity, but that inner truth which
is more perfect portrait of the whole man
a mirror winch makes Sampson see with
his own eyes the Socrates that he feels him
self to be. For this reason it is to be Ia
ken that the papers which are purchased
represent the opinions of their purchasers. ,,

ANTIQUITY OF UMBRELLAS -Umbrel-
las and parasols, be ii remembered, are
as old as the sun and rain. Though of
modern introduction in this country,
they were well known in the olden time.
In the East, the umbrella has been in
use from time imme mortal, tholgh
chiefly by the great; and around is the
Oriental despot who can style himself
"Brother of the Sun and Moon aud Lord
OF the Embrellia." Assyrian monarchs
stood beneath its shade whilst receiving
homage from the vanquished foes; and
Lycian princes sat under such shelter
while directing the siege OF a hostile
city, as the reliefs recently brought from
the ruins OF Nineveh and the coast of
Lycis, and now in The British Museum,
satisfactorily attest. The proudest
trophy Of the Galliewars in Africa was
the umbrella Of Abd-el- -Kader, till he
himself shared lis fate, though he was
soon avenged by his victor being com
PEELED TO abandon his in a far more
ignoble manner.
Umbrellas preserved the complexion
OF the "fair. checked" Helen, and shell
tered many a fair one of Greece and
Rome from Pheous' gaze, as we learn
from ancient vases, bas-reliefs, and
paintings. They were borne by the
men. as we'll as By the maids Of Athens,
in the days Of Pericles, and Roman
gallants were want 10 hold them over
the heads Of their mistresses. In this

they were use in Fitruria also Yet,
though an umbrella often shaded the
rich cheek OF Cleopatra, aud softened the
glow Of Assasia's charms--in London, in
the centre Of modern civilization, not a
century since, Jonas Ilanway was ridl
culed for carrying one through the
streets.

! The following account of remarkabl
piece OF mechanism, is taken from Per
sian manuscript, called the History Of I" ,Je
rusalem." 1t purports to be description,
OF the throne of King Solomon, which, i
the details are correctly given, undouhtedl,
surpasses any specimen of mechanism pro
duced IN modern times, notwithstanding th
wonderful inventions which have taken plac,
IN every branch Of science.
The sides Of it were of pure gold, tht
feet OF emerald rubies, intermixcd will
pearls, each of which was as big as an os.
trich egg. The throne had seven steps
on each were delineated orchards full OF
trees, the branches, of which were Of prec.
ious stones, representing fruit ripe and
unfipe on the tops of trees were to se
seen hgures of plumaged birds, particularly
the peacock, the etaub and the kurges.-.
All these birds were followed within, arti
hcialiy, so as occasionally to utter thous-
ana meiodious notes, such as the ear of
mortals never heard. On the first were de-
ilneated vino branches, having punches of
grapes composed of various sorts of pre-
cious stones fashioned in manner as to
represent the various colors of purple, VIC.

OF cast gold.
The nature of this remarkable throne
was such that when Solomon placed his
loot ON the first step, the birds spread forth
their wings, and made futtering noise in
the air. On his touching the second step
two lions expanded their claws. On his
reaching the third step, the whole assembly
OF demons and fairies and men repeated
their praise of the Deity. When he arriv-
ed at the fourth step, voices were heard ad-
dressing. him in the following IN amer =
F" Son Of David, be thankful for the bless
Inss the Almighty has bestowed upon you."
Inc same was repeated on reaching the
NTH step. On his reaching the sixth step
all the children Of Israel Joined them; and
on his arrival on the seventh step, and the
throne, birds and animals became in mo-
ton, and ceased not until he placed himself

descended and placed the golden crown up-

was golden dove, holding in his beak a

written the Psalms of David; and the dove

Mons were wont to set up a terrible roaring

pirds also rufiled up their feathers, aud the
assembly of demons and genii uttered hor.
rid cries, so that for fear Of them no person
dared to be guilty of falsehood but con-
Iessed their crimes. Such was the throne
OF Solomon, the Son of David.

A GHOST IN LovE.-The Absille
Cauchoise tells the following story:
A few nights ago worthy farmer liv-
ing near fvetot, who has lately become
a widower, was aroused at midnight BY
the loud barking Of his dog. On going
10 it, the animal betrayed extremet tero.
whereupon the farmer took his gun ,and
proceeded to an inspection. All at once
he saw herrid phantom, clo,hed in
white sheet rise behind the hedge. The
farmer turned deadly pale, and bis limbs
shook with dismay. He, however, con-
trived to ejaculate:
eff you come from above, speak; if
from below, vanish"
"Wretch:" exclaimedi he phantom, 81
am your deceased wife come, from the
grave 10 warn you not 10 marry Maria
A., 10 whom you are making
love. The only woman 10 succeed me
is, Henrietta B.. Marry her, or
persecution and eternal torment shall
be thy doom!'
This strange address from the goblin,
instead of dismaying the farmer, res
tored his courage. He accordingly
rushed on the ghostly visitor. and stsip.
ping of its sheet, discovered the fair
Henrietta B-----herself looking ex-
cessiyely foolish. II is said that The
farmer, admiring the girls trick. has
had the bans published for his marri-
age with her.
