500, 900.

100000 at the present valuation of money is
pretty sum; even the figures that represent it are
pretty to look at In fact, 500 900 may be con-
sidered "a pile y it is guarantee which assures
man of rest from earthly toll and financial anxiety.
500 900 the numerals pre6xed by the nominaive
character which indicates the currency do not alone
represent ten times ten thousand " federal dscs'
They represent what men are laboring, sweating
struggling, plotting, scheming, praying, stealing
numbering to obtain-they represent money, bread
life, station, respectability, happiness. i
scores of men aad women workers of the world work
their lives out for pittances less in the aggregate
they dig and delve toll, stitch and starve, and alto
gether, never collect, of the debt of living the
world all its children, the sum of 500 00O-
l000000 dimes, or pounds of meat for hungry men
10 900 picayunes, many loayes of bread
all this is the valuation of the maiden affections of
Miss Efie Carztang, of the city Of st. Louis whom
the law aids to carry out her disappointed designs
upon the properties of the superanuated MI. Henry
Shaw, of the same burgh
Her affection was treasure worth having, for we
must receive the estimate of the twelve unprjudiced
intelligent and highmnded gentlemen who consti.
tnted the jury-sxperts who assessed each smile at
the cost of horse, each pressure of the hand at
house and lot, and the whole aggregate of love.mak-
ing at S 900. They pited Miss Fife because she
was non.snted after months Of industrious devotion
to the object of captivating the softhearted old mil
ionaire, and sustained her when she appealed to the
supremacy OF the law. Miss Efe loved the venerable
Shaw much or she would not have counted his loss at
100000. The gentlemen of the jury recognized the
sovereignty of the law and its high design the CON
servation of jastice-human rghts-or they never
would have been persuaded by the counsel working
on speculation to rob man of 100000 as magic
save for the wounded affections of love.lorn lady
They appreciated her maidenly modesty and chaste
excellenciss they would have shown her such
| favor.
| Bozs inimoble fiction of Bardel vs. Pickwick is
thrown entirely into the shade by this els Atlantic
| reality. We presume that the law will ever be mad,
the instrument OF plunderpg and swndlirg, and ha
seldom been more notably so than in this memorabl,
instance Of its prostitution. 100000! What an oh
jeet of idoilartty old Shaw must have been to b,
valued so highly by the fair and injured Effie!

The Society for the Conversion of the Jews held its
annual meeting recently, The report stated that the
income of the society for the past year had been
f3 305 lSs. 3D. 1t further stated that the number of
Jews who have been christened during that period
was nineteen large ones and one little one but
wen say twenty. This, according to long division
indicates as the price of converting each Jew, the
sum of fl565 5s. 9ad. The process seems little
dear, but that's the socety's business. Mr.. Punch
would only hint to his friends the Hebrews, that if
they wish to balance the account there are heaps ol
Christians who are ready to become Jews at a very
considerably lower figure than 81 565 5s. 94d. per

HUMBOLDT.

Tue grim guns on the battles marge
The raptured squadrOn's close array
The cheers and clangor of the charge;
The bloodbought triumph of the day;
The tnrtures of the ambulance,
Hurried before the surging war;
Turn from this looming devils dance,
To mark yon setting star.
Yes pale for US the martial glare,
Flung DER the fair Italian land,
From soaring Rosa, on to where
Genoas waters lave the strand
For not the Brandenburgian skies,
Bereaved alone to men appear;
The light which gladdened German eyes,
Glowed for hemisphere.
Lost light of science! azure deep,
Unlimited, surrounds thee now;
As when with Silence thou did st keep
Vigil on Chimboraz0's brow
And mystery, we may not prove
Until the inevitable shade
Parts, as we glide along the groove,
Where king and cotter find one grade.
Yet will the speculative soul
0'erleap the ittleness of time,
Our doubt that virtues final goal,
Is knowledge made sublime,
Large as immeDsty-refined; +;
More tenuous than the flooding air,
The immortals blend with kindred mind.
And Humboldt knows new Humboldts there
Pillared upon two centuriess
Thy niche of fame is broad and sure;
Earth's butcher-worship will decrease,
But wisdom shall endure
For as the lapsing cycles spend
The grossness of our shifting state,
The risen man will not descend
To carnage, that he may be great.
The Grecian precept writ in gold,
The gods at Delphos did bestow,
Was in the daily practice told,
OF knowledge, first tits self to know,
The impulsive spirit stagnant grows,
Unequal to the unfaltering strife,
But strong serenity shall close
The tempered courage of life.
All i'll attuned the dirges fall,
In melting cadence DER thy dust;
The year that weeps by Humboldts pail
Crowns Schiller's classic bust.
Had he but lived to sing of thee!
To sing OF thee whom every cline,
Tones of the many-mooded sea,
Shall syllable through time?
Philosopher! perpetual spring
Shall keep thy chaplet emerald green,
Till right with wrong cease battling,
And slavery quits the scene;
Moloch. for which an impious crew,
Marshaled by base and ahject priests,
Filer than Ammon's idol knew,
Swell sacrificial feasts.
Thy spirit filled with human love,
Nor race nor creed did dare to ban;
In knowledge great, yet far above,
Thou vert the FRIEND OF MAN.
And as the empyreal portals glow.
And Heaven resouDds with Jubilee,
While Joyous greetings all bestow,
Behold Las Casas welcomes thee !!

DIED In Morrisr"wn, "n the 2sih inst oi Bron-
chiaI Consumption, Mrs tNARGAREr HAMlL.-
TON, consort OF Dr. X. Hamilton, inslhe SD year
OF her aye.
The deceased has been a member of the Pres
byHrian Church. in this place tor twenty years,
and her daily life was in accordance with the
principles of the religion she proiessed.
Her active temperament and afiectionnte dis.
position, having been sancti6ed by grace, inclined
her TO do good TO all around her she had oppor-
tunity, and TO persevere where Others would have
been discouraged.
Her death has left void which cannot be asily
filled. Society at large will feel it; the sick room
will miss her presence, and the Church her lnbors
of love. But most will her death be realized in
her own household. The h usband and children
have met with a loss that can never be repaired.
She died in the enjoyment OF that peace which
the blessed Savior has lett an inheritance for his
followers She felt during all her sickness that
she could rest on the promises of the Rcdeener:- -
When she could no longer speak and was passing
through the dark valley o the shadow of death.
The question was asked her. il she felt the presence
Of the Savior, to sustsin and comfort her She
nodded her head most significantly and soon after
without n struggle, like an in fant on the bosom o
its mother, fell asleep in Jesus. q.
