A TALE FROM THE RUSSIAN.
IFrom Blackwood's Magazine.
TEEE JEW.

/ was at Vienna few years ago. AT
ter trying several tables d hote estab-
lished myself at a hotel in the Juden-
trasse, frequented by a select society,"
Mr.. Muller, master of this establishment
did its honors with thorough German
gravity. Perfect order, extreme and con.
scientious cleanness, reigned throughout
the house. One might pass through the
servants room, and even through the
kitchens, without meeting with anything
by which the sight was in the least often
ded. The cellar was as well arranged
as bookcase, and the regulations of the
house, as regarded both the service and
the hours of meals were as punctually
observed as they could have been in a
seminary. If a guest came in late,
though it were but ten minutes, he was
served apart, in an adjoining room, that
the comfort of all might not be sacrificed
j to the convenience of one.
In the conversation at this table a. hote
there prevailed tone Of good society
(which excluded neither ease or pleasan-
TRY but caustic or indelicate express
#sion would have Jared on the ear like a
false note in well-executed concert
THE countenance of Mrs. Muller, in

Hence, was the barometer by which the
young men regulated themselves when
the influence Of Rhine wine or Stettin
beer might lead them a little too far
Then Mrs. Muller assumed an air of re-
<serye; by a few words she adroitly broke
#off the conversation, and turned it into
another channel; and she glanced gravely
lat her daughter, who, without affectation
=or pouting, kept her eyes fixed on her
=plate until the end of the meal.
Ellen Muller was the type of those
Beautiful German faces which the French
call cold, because they know not how to
read them; she was happy mixture of
the Saxon and Hanoyerian characters
"a pure and open brow, eyes of inexpress-
Rble softness, lips habitually closed with
maiden reserve, transparent complex

ment protested against the immobility OF

For thee, my friend, believe me now,
I'd wish a life ofjcy---
Your heart be filled with pleasure rare,
9 OF bliss without alloy, l
And when to heavenly courts above,
n Your spirit takes its flight,
oh, may it ever happy be,
And dwell with angels bright.
But while we llnger here on earth,
Where sorrows rend the heart,
We cannot feel, without pang.
Unsullied happiness;
No, no for in this world of woes,
OF darkness and despair,
Our souls are often crushed by pain,
Our heart oppressed by care.
Yet would that could strew thy path
With flowers sweet and rare
Could throw aside each thorn that e'er
Would wist to enter there;
Thy bark should gently glide along
Without a storm, life's sea,
And sorrows mantle ne'er be thrown
With any weight on thee.
All this I'd do aud even more,
Could it be in my power;
Bat while we linger here we feel
The pain Of many an hour;
Then, oh dear friend, look up to things
That never pass away
Not things that bud and blossom here,
Then wither in day.
But on that bright and heavenly shore
I'll have thee safely land,
Where angels wait to welcome thee
And take thee by the hand;

In order 10 convey 10 our minds some idea of
the greatness of our country, let us examine
the following figures; The single State of
Texas is twice as large as Great Britain and
Ireland, aud would make Ill States as large as
Delaware. California, the second State in size,
is larger than Turkey in Europe, concerning
which so much British, French aud Russian
blood was split, and so many millions of trea-
sure wasted. She would make IS States the
size of Delaware. Missouri, the third State,
is thirty-one times as large as Delaware, and a
third larger than England. Virginia is twice
as large as Ireland, aud would make 20 such
States as our own. Georgia, the fifth State in
size, is a little larger than England and Wales,
and ~ times as large as the Diamond State"
Wisconsin has sufficient spare territory to ac-
commodate the whole population of ireland,
together with her own and would still be no
more thickly settled than Massachuset.s Were
Texas as thickly settled as Massachusetts, she
would contain a population equal to that of the
United States and Mexico; were she as thickly
settled as England, her population would be
equal to that of Great Britain, France and
Spain and were she as thcky settled as Bel
GUM, it would exceed the present population of
North America, South America and France
Were the whole territory of the United States
as thickly peopled as Massachusetts, it would
support greater population than N. America,
5. America, Europe and Africa now contain
aud were it as thickly peopled as England, it
would contain a population greater by three
millions than the present population of the
World or, in round numbers, 1,OO3, ,OOO, ,OOO.-
These figures look large, but take your pencil
and the last census report, and try them.
