INCREASE OF JEWS.

An intelligent writer in the North
american Reviel0 supposes that no class
ofimmigrants has increased more rapidly
in this country than the Hebrew. In
1890 man might count upon his fingers
all the synagogues in the land; now there
are at least a quarter of a million of Jews,
from eighty to ninety synagogues, and a
multitude Of smaller communities where
a nescleus exists which will soon grow in
to synagogue. The city of New York
alone has twenty synagogues, and 10000
Jews-about one twentieth part of the
population being such. There are syna-
gogues in all the chief cities Of the sea-
board two in Boston, five in Baltimore
three in New Orleans, two in Charles
Town, and four in Cincinnati, &c.

While Philip De Neri was living in an

him he he'd come 70 the law-sehool Of
that place On account Of his great fame,
and that he intended to spare no pains
or labor TO get through hts studies as

conclusion with great patience, ana then
said:

CHARITY.

Night kissed the young rose, and it
bent softly 10 sleep. Stars shone, and
pure dew-drops hung upon its bosom, and
watched its sweet slumbers. Morning
came with its dancing breezes, and they
whispered 10 the young rose, and it awoke
Joyous and smiling Lightly ii danced
to and fro in all the lovelincss Of health
and youthful innocence. Then came the
ardent sun-god, sweeping from the east,
and smote feyoaag rose with its scorch-
ing rays, and it tainted. Deserted and
almost heart-broken, it dropped to the
dust in lowliDess ana despair. Now the
gentle breeze, which had been ganboling
over the sea, pushed on the homs-bound
bark, sweeping over hill and dale, by the
neat cottage aad siili brook, turning the
o.d mill, tanning the brow Of disease,
and triskiug the curis Of innocent child

saw the young rose she haaened to kiss

revived aud looked and smiled in graft
tUde TO the kind breeze, but she hurried
quickly away; for she soon perceived
that delicious fragrance had been pour

the kind breeze was glad in heart and
went away singing through the trees.
Thus charity, Ike the breeze, gathers

AN ADVENTURE IN THE ARC
TIC REGION.

The readers Of Kane's narrative Of
his recent Arctic expedition could hardly
have failed to read the following passage
with almost breathless interest, so COM
pletely were the lives of Kane and his
men dependent upon the sequel. We
copy it for the benefit of our readers who
have not read the work, with the remark
that it describes a scene which transpired
after the explorers had abandoned their
vessel, and we're making a desperate
and, as it must have appeared to them at
the time, almost hopeless attempt to reach
a civilized spot, where they could obtain
that aid, in the shape Of food, rest and
=laep, which was 50 necessary to their ex-
istence. They were upon short allow
ance of food, and were almost furnishing,
with still long journey before them:
'Things grew worse and worse with
us; the old difficulty of breathing came
again, and our feet sweIled to such an
extent that we were obliged to cut open
