Description OF JERUsALEM. The Je-

graphically describes the ruin and desc.
late condition of the Holy City. He
says:
The women, clothed from head 10 foot
in white sheets, with their faces conceal
ed by black veil, resembling so many
ghoules just risen from the subterranean
abodes: more especially as they have
great fancy for orcemeterles, where they dai-
ly congregate to howl. No sound of youth.
there are no boys in the streets, no sound
of wheels, there are no carriages, the
dogs, NANCY and wofish snarI and snap
when you disturb them, their daily work
as scavengers, and make the live-Iong
night hideous with their contentious, the
very birds do not sing, hut cry to each
other with dissonant chirp, or complain
with harsh murmur.
From the horrors Of the city, if we pass
TO the enVirons, we find naught but bare
rocks around, stones and dust beneath,

Jews; here are the bones of the Assyrian

EARLY RISING. The celebrated DR..
Buchan says in his writings, six or sew
en- hours sleep is certainly sufficient, and
no one ought to exceed eight. To make
sleep refreshing, the following things are
requisite: to take sufficient exercise in the
open air; and to lie down with mind as
cheerful and serene as possible. I hard
ly ever knew an early riser who did not
enjoy good state of health. It consists
with observation, that all very old men
have been early risers. This is the only
circumstance attending longevity, TO
which | never knew an exception

LAKE SUPERIOR MINING COMPANIES.

The last number Of the United States Railroad and
Mining Register contains list Of fortysix mining
companies in the Lake Superior country. Most Of
these companies have offices in distant cities, in
cludng ten in New York. nine in Boston, about as
many in Pitsbnrg, and some in Detroit and Chicago
These companies purport to have capitals which APP
pear to be divided into shares forming in the aggre
gate 1888 900 shares The cost and value Of these
not given. The Of the officers include active,
men in various parts Of the country. How much
there is Of reality in those stocks have means
of knowing, but we have strong suspicion that
some of them, like Mr.. Puts balls, have been got up
to SELL If all these stocks real and have been
actually paid in, they exhibit an enormous capital.
At only ten dollars share it would amount to the
enormous sum Of 81, 10000, which we can hardly
imagine has been invested there. But if we mis-
taken, and the stocks prove profitable, shall be
glad Of it.

GOVERNMENT PAPER MONEY.

There are few who wish our government to en-

the falacous expectation that it would be as good
as gold and silver COIN Wherever the experiment

American States, before and during the revolution,
and several European States, prior and subsequently,

THE CREDIT SYSTEM AND THE TAX TT IMPOSE

There are many eulogics passed upon the so-csled
"credit system" Few know the real tax that il &C.
casions, or dream who pays IT, farmer sells his
wool upon credit, and charges from five TO ten per
cent more than for cash. The manufacturer, In sell
ing his cloth, demands equally as much above cash

rnands like addition to the cash price Tor giving
credit. The jobber buys, paying . like addition ior
being trusted. He sells TO the country merchant
and puts on like increase because he gives credit
The latter in retailing, makes like addition for sell
ing upon credit Here are four sales upon credit
At only FIVE per addition for credit the cousu
mer pays twenty per cent. because former owners
dealt credit. At ten per cent. this would amount
to forty. The latter, think is below the reality
II follows that when the consumer purchases Eve

severely taxed for the credits others obtain, well
as for those extended TO ourselves. The paying con
