The JEWISH WlrE.--The wife was
"to grind the meal, to bake, to wash,
to cook. to nurse her children, to make
her husbands bed, and to work in
wool" These regulations were mod
flied if she was wealthy. "If she had
brought with her one slave, she was
not required 10 grind the meal, to bake,
or to wash; if two slaves, she was also
freed from cooking and nursing her
children; il three, she was not required
tolnake the bed, or work in wool; it
four, { it is added she might sit in
her easy chair" However, this indul-
gance was limited, and, under all cir

PUSCHs Defence OF LADIES DRESSES
There arc two sides to the Crinoline question :;

length OF time. Moreover. they my be made
OF the very cheapest and cOarScst material

longer any necessity for even SO much as COM

lady might be a fish from the waist downward,
and stand upon a eaudal fin in that dress with

BAPTIST VIEW OF BAPTISM By PROXY.-Tbe
Illinois Baptist gives an account of "a -inguIar
baptism. ii seems that one William Evans. a
preacher OF the VI. +. Church. recently had Oc-
casion to baptiZe a number Of candidates neal
ScOttsville. Ill, who would be immersed con-
trary to all that could be said against scriptu-
raj baptism Having said 20 much against the
practice, Mr.. L. would not go into the water
himself but secured the services Of q Rev. Mr.
Butcher, Of the Campbellites, who took the can
didates into the water and immersed them
while he (Eyans) stood on the bank and said,
4" baptize thee in the name Of the Father, and
the Son. and the Holy Ghost"
NeeannOt understand what possible gain in
principle " one William Evans could have ex-
pected TO make by thus BHfchSring the beauti-
fut and Impressive ceremony Of scriptural bap-
tsm. III the words he pronounced from his
stand point on the bank of the stream were
true. he certainly baptised the candidates by
immersion, and thus sacrificed the principle for
which he contended; if they were not true. he
manifestly chose the greater of two sins. In
either ease his conduct was n conprornise be-
tween bigO;ry and expediency, which we have
rarely seen equaled. 1t reminds US Of a dues-
tiOn in casuistry which agitated the Catholic
schoolmen some centuries SiBce; n case having

cation. As the lad grew up and became useful

SPECIE INCIDENT.-A working man in this
vicinity having saved quite q sum from his
earnings deposited fifteen hundred dollars some
months ago in a bank near Boston, one of the Of
hGers ot which was an old acquaintance. A few
days since the depOsitor concluded to withdraw
his money, stating that he wished gold as he
was to expend ii in Maine, and there might be
some trouble about bills, ifhe took them. lie was
informed that the Cashier check on Boston
would be as good as the gold for the purpose
and in case Of loss, be more secure az payment
could be stopped He concluded however to
take the gold. which was at once counted out TO
him. The next the bank officer heard Of him
he was under arrest, and the following facts
were ELECTED. The story about taking the funds
tn Maine was n ruse to obtain specie. The gold
had been secreted under the hay in the loft Of a
stable, and the man visiting it in the night, had
taken lantern. the light of which had arrested
the attention of another party who watched the
movements. supposing the owner Of the gold to
be an incendiary, took the man and his bag of
double eagles to the police station house. After
considerable parley and protestatiOns of innO-
cencc On the part Of the supposed culprit, the
funds were retained as security for the owner s
appearance in the morning.
His statements concerning his treasure being
verified the next day, he was released When
demonstrated with for his imprudcncc in mis-
trusting sound bank and leaving his money
in place so liable to destruction as a stable,
he replied, that ne thought in case the barn
was burned his gold would drop thrOngh, and
he could easily find it among the ruins .-Bos-
