The Jews in India.

In Bombay and the neighboring places there
are some five or six thousand lsraelites. Some
of these have more recently come from Arabia,
AMI are called whac Jews. Some have come
from Cochin, and are called black Jews. But
by far the greater portion, who have been long
settled in the country, and to whom Mahratta
is the vernacuar language, are called israeli
ties, or Benz Israel When their ancestors ar
rived here is not generally known. They say
it was about 1000 years ago-that the ship in
which they came was shipwrecked, and that
seven men and seven women who escaped set
tied at Nagao, some thirty miles to the south
cast of Bombay. They were at one time gem
orally engaged in the manufacture of oil but
at present many of them are masons, carpen-
tiers. cultiyators, &c. When the missionaries
first came to this country, some thirty years
since the Israelites were generally unable to
read and were almost wholly ignorant of their
own Scriptures. They had generally ceased to
observe the Sabbath as day of rest, and were
in many respects conformed to the customs OF
their IIindoo and Mohammedan neighbors. 1t
is stated in printed journal of one of the ear
ler missionaries, that the magistrate described
them at that time as being the most drunken
and troublesome people on the island. The
missionaries in Bombay have, from the first,
taken deep interest in the Israelites or Jews,
They early established schools among them, In
which both sexes were taught to read. They
furnished them with the Scriptures, translated
Ian instructed
several of them in Hebrew, that they might be
able TO refer to the original IheJews have In
consequence forsaken many of those things
which they, on becoming acquainted with the
Scriptures found to be forbidden; and they
have greatly advanced in intelligence, wealth,
morality and general respectability. Some OF
them may feel little gratitude for the labor and
expense bestowed upon them but we believe
they are generally ffeeto acknowledge that the
missionaries have beeR their hearty we'll
wishers and their best friends. The Jews
worship only one God, the Creator and Pre-
server of all things; and they regard all idola-
try as sinful They believe the Old Testament
or first part of the Christian Scriptures, and
that alone to be the Word Of God. They have
two regular synagcgues or places of public
worship in Bombay, and one at Revadunda.-
Here they meet on Saturday, which is their
Sabbath, or day of rest and read the Scriptures
both in Hebrew and Mahratta. At Alibagj
Panwell, and other places, where there is no
synagogue, their meetings are held in any pri-
yate dwellings The white Jews have two such
places for public worship in the fort.-Dgydno'

TIE TELESCOPE AND MICRosCopE.-While the
telescope enables us to see a system in every
star. the microscope unfolds to us u world in
every atom. The one instructs us that this
mighty globe, with the whole burthen of its
people and its countries is but grain of sand
in the vast field Of immensity-thc other, that
every atom may harbor the tribes and families
of busy population. The one shows us the
insigniiicance of the world we inhabit--the
other redeems it from all its insignilicanee for
it tells us that in the leaves of every forest in
the flowers of every garden, in the waters of
every riyulet, there are worlds teeming with
life, and numberless as are the stars of the FIR
mament. The one suggests to us that above
and beyond fall that is visible to man, there
may be regions of creation which sweeps I'M
measurably along, and carry the impress of the
Almighty's hand to the remotest scenes of the
universe-the other, that within and Hbeneath
| all that minuteness which the aided eye of man
| is able to explore, there may be world of in
visible beings and that, could we draw aside
the mysterious veil which shrouds it from our
wonders as astronomy can unfold--a universe
within the compass of point, so small, as to
elude all the powers Of the microscope, but
where the Almighty Ruler of all things finds
room for the exercise of his attributes, where
he can raise another mechanism of worlds, and
fill and animate them all with evidences of his
glory.-Dr. Chalmers.

PROPORTIONS OF THE HUMAN FIGURE.-The
proportions of the human figure are strictly
mathematical. The whole figure is six times
the length of the foot Whether the form be
slender or plump, this rule holds good Any
deviation from ii is departure from the high
est beauty ofproportion The Greeks made all
their statues according to this rule. The face
from the highest point of tho forehead where
the hair begins to the end of the chin is one
tenth the whole length of the stature. The
hand from the wrist to the middle finger, is the
same. The chest is fourth, and from the
nipples to the top of the head Is the same.--
From the top Of the chest to the highest point
of the forehead is a seventh. If the length of
the face, from the roots of the hair to the chin,
be divided into three equal parts, the first di-
vision determines where the eyebrows meet,
and the second the place of the nostrls. The
naval is the centre point of the human body,
and if a man should lie on his back with his
arms extended the periphery of the circle might
be described around him, with the naval for its
centre, wouldtouch the extremities OF his hands
and feet. The height from the feet to the top
of the head is the same as the distance from
the extremities Of the other when the arms are
extended. These are the general measures OF
! the species.

Cultivation of Conscience.

AS we cultivate taste, or our susceptibility
to beauty, by meditating upon the mos. finished
specimens OF art, or the most lovely scenery in
nature, so conscience, or our moral suscepti-
bility, is improved by meditating upon any
thing eminent for moral goodness. II is hence
that example produces SO powerful q moral
effect; and hence that one single act Of heroic
virtue as that of Howard or of illustrious self
denial, gives a new impulse to the moral char
actcr of an age Men cannot reflect upon
such actions without the productions of
change in their moral susceptibility. On the
contrary, the discriminating power of con.
science may be injured by frequent meditation
upon vicious character and action. By fire.
quently contemplating vice, our passions be-
come excited and our moral disgust dimin-
ishes. Thus, also, by becoming familiar with
wicked men, we learn to associate whatever
they may possess of intellectual or social in
terest with their moral character; and hence
our adherence of vice is lessened. Thus men
who are accustomed to view, habitually, any
vicious custom, cease to have their moral feel
ings excited by beholding it, All this is mani
fest from the facts made known in the progress
Of every moral reformation. of SO delicate
texture has God made our moral nature and so
easily is it either improved or impaired, Pope
says truly,
Vice is a monster of so frightful mien,
As to be dreaded, needs hut to be seen;
But seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace,
1t is almost unnecessary to remark, that this
fact will enable us to estimate the value of
r,uch of our reading and of much of our So
esety. Whatever fills the memory with scenes
Of vice, or stimulates the imagination to con-
ceutiens Of mpurity, vulgarity, profanity, or
thouglflessness, must, by the whole of this
effect, reader us vicious AS man of ofliterary
sensibiIity will avoid badly-written book,
for fear of .ifguring his taste, BY how much
I more should We dread the communion with
| anything wrong, lest it should contaminate
our imagination, and ,aNs iBurc our moral

HoLD it greater injury to be over-valued
than nnder, For when they both shall come
to the touch the one shall rise with praise,
while the other shall decline with shame. The
first hath more uncertain honor, but less safety;
the latter is humbly secure and what is want
ing in renown is made up in a better blessing,
quiet. There is no detracton worse than to
over-praise.a man, for, whilst his worth comes
short of what report doth speak him, his own
actions are ever giving the lie to his honor

Tint little grave holds from her gaze
All that her heart holds dear

An erring woman's guilt.
Yet liod will neyercast her out
From his blcsi paradise;
Else why those tears Of penitence
And grief that dim her eyes'
The hcnrtlcss world will not receive
Her pentenre, and take
Her wounded spirit init arms
And true forgiveness make.
