Rothschild and Palestine.

1t is rumored in Paris, that Nj. de Rothschild
offered to accept the terms proposed for the
Turkish loan, or even to advance a larger sum,
provided mortgage was given him on Pales-
tine.
This rumor is highly suggestive. Every re-
flecting Christian must have had frequent
thoughts of the Jews, of Palestine, and of the
precious promises and prophecies laid up for
them in the Bible, during the thickening of the
war plot, which now must inevitably involve all
Europe. The great battle of Armageddon-
the angel standing in the sun, calling all the
fowls Of heaven to the feast of the great God
the treading of the wine press without the
city, and the blood coming to the horse brides,
are passages Of holy writ which come up be-
fore the mind with awful grandeur, clothed with
the idea of possible fulflment within a short
time! Palestine is the Lords inheritance re-
served for the seed of Abraham. The Turkish
power holds it. That power must give way
before the plans of Divine Providence. Its
downfall is imminent; and who next shall own
Palesiinel Evidently the Jews.
The world has wondered at the wealth of the
Rothschilds. They are Jews. Why has Pro-
vidence raised them up, and placed in their
hands an amount of wealth equal to many an
entire kingdom! May it not be for such q
time us this The Turkish power, straitened
for money to fght against Russia. comes to one
of the Jews to borrow. He asks mortgage on
Palestine; and on this condition offers more
money than Turkey asks. The Sultan knowing
that Palestine is one portion of his dominion on
which the Emperor of Russia has fixed his
coyetous eyes, that he may command the Med
itteisnean and Red Seas, and also the mouths
of the Nile, would the more readily mortgage
it 10 Rothschild, TO put it as far from the enemy
as possible, and identify it with the interests of
western Europe, and by this means the more
effectually secure the aid of England and
France. In the event Turkey is swallowed up
the mortgage lies Observation-Disclosures is
once more the property of an Israelite. But
Russia is determined to have it but to
obtain it must fight all Europe--and the last
great conflict is on this sacred ground. There
| the wine-press is trodden--w,thout the city Of
Babylon--popedom. Palestine being in posses
sion of the Saracens and Turks, has always
been beyond the limits of Papacy. New forms
of government arise all over Europe, and the
Jews return to their fatherland, under the deed
of Rothschild. These are thoughts which
quickly spring up in the mind upon reading the
above few lines. fssf II

will make it our duty, before the close of the
present political campaign of Delaware, to
measure pens, in the gladiatorial combat of ar
gument, with greater than Sephus All we
have got to say is, let them come on and we
will promise them the full benefit of scientific
and critical, as well as fearless "probing. -
And if we should fail to make some of them feel,
the fault shall not be with us. And while we
would not trample upon nor disregard the rights
and feelings OF the meanest things that crawl,
we shall ever have a hand and, we trust, the
disposition to detect and expose the flimsy
sophistry of the unblushing opponents of Pro-
hibition.
1t is for the amelioration and improvement of
the condition of the laboring classes that we
chiefly regard this measure as one of absorbing
interest-one that will greatly affect the NOR
ality, intelligence and well-being of the body
polite. 1t is in vain that we would seek to en-
large the realm of mind, to multiply and in
crease the facilities for the intellectual i'm
prOvement of the masses, while these sinks of
profanity, incidence, licentiousness, and crime,
stand open to the free ingress of the youthful
and inexperienced. 1t is in vain that we would
sow the golden grains of truth and hope-a
clear and independent manhood-when such
seed are drowned, ere they can germinate, by
the draughts of liquid poison and "distlled
damnation.''
Come up to the battle! ye who throng
lies lanes and highways! Come and throw
your influence with ours; and before another
year shall pass away, the glad jubilee shall be
proclaimed, through the medium of the public
press, that our Diamond State is no longer un-
der tribute to the tyrannous and odious Rum
Power-that our homes shall no longer be dis
graced and rendered miserable by the curses
and blasphemies of the drunken revel and the
midnight debauch
What though you may be poor and disgraced
now! What if the serpent track of the rum
seller has been in your once happy and beauti-
ful homes, and has decoyed father, or a son,
or brother, from the position of responsibility
and honor, into the lowest haunts of dissipation
and moral corruption! He who babe the guilty
"gO in peace and sin no more," if they can be
induced to put forth manly and vigorous efforts
to save themselves, will whisper the same word,
of blessed cheer to the erring, hopeless, and
despOndng inebriate.
True, wealth thou has not-'tis but dust!
Nor place-uncertain as the wind
But that thou hast, which, with thy crust
And water, may despise the lust
Of both-a noble mind
With tn S, and passions under ban,
True faith and holy trust in God,
Thou art the peer of any mani"

The Moral Evil of Wealth.

Orville Dewey says:-"l am obliged to re-
gard with considerable distrust, the influence
of wealth upon individuals. | know that it is
mere instrument which may be converted to
good or bad ends but more than doubt wheth-
er the chances lead that way. Independence
and luxury are not likely TO be good for any
man. Leisure and luxury are almost always
bad for any man. know that there are noble
exceptions. But l have seen go much Of the
evil effects Of wealth upon the matchmaking it
proud, naughty and impatient-robbing it of Its
simplicity, modesty, and notwithstanding it
of its large, and gentle, and considerable hui
manity; and l have heard such testimonies,
such astonishing testimonies, to the same effect
from those whose business it is to settle and
adjust the affairs of large estates, that | more
and more distrust its boasted advantages
deny the validity of that boast. In truth am
sick ofthe worlds admiration Of wealth. AL
most all the noblest things have been achiev-
ed by poor men-poor scholars, and pro-
iesslonal men, poor artizans and artists, poor
philosophers and poets, and men of genius. A
man, trained in the school of industry and fru-
gality, acquires large estate-his children pos
sibly keep it, but the third generation almost
inevitably goes down the rolling wheel of for
tune, and there learns the energy necessary TO
rise again. And yet we are, almost all of us,
anxious to put our children, or to be cure that
our grandchildren should be put on his road to
indulgence, vice, degradation, and ruin. This
excessive desire fer, and admiration of wealth,
is one of the worst traits in our modern civili-
zation. We are, if may SO speak, in an un-
fortunate dilemma in this matter. Our politi-
cal civilization hasopened the way for multitudes
to wealth, and created an indefatigable desire
for it; but our mental civilization has not
gone far enough to make right use of it.

no hope for Europe? Will no Brutus arise to
stab the modern Caesars to the heart! Yes |!
there is hope; Brutus will yet appear to
avenge the nations wrongs, but no Mark An
thongs will be there to plead the Tyrant's
cause. Is not the silence now prevailing por-
tentous? When dark clouds marshal them
selves in the west and move steadily up the
Heavens, is there not always a brief moment of
calm before the tempest bursts forth in all its
furya But az that calm most surely foretells
the coming thunder and the bowling winds,

but augurs the sure impending storm. The
revolutions of '4S were but rumblings of the
thunder and the occasional faint lightnings,
playing around the horizon and, now and then,
tipping higher cloud with brilliant fire. Some
astronomers speculate that faint nebul@ float
ing through space, gradually collect their par
ticles and form a star; so, these outbreaks
slowly, it may be, but surely, will produce not
a star or planet, but gorgeous sun, which
will remain ever fixed in the Zenith, and will
shed its genial influences to the farthest ends of
the earth. The night now is; soon the faint
day will stream along the East, and the morn-
ing stars forever disappear. Hark from the
mountains of Hungary and the forests of Poland
comes long, loud vail Of sorrowing breasts
the widow weeping over the grave of her mar
tyred patriot husband, and the orphan watering
the grass that waves over the parents tomb.
