Romance of First Love.

Some thirty years ago there lived in the
city of London, an opulent Jewish banker
OF the name Of Il. As rich men usually
have, the subject Of the present sketch had
lovely daughter rejoicing in the name of
Sarah. As Sarah reached the age of wom-
anhood, her beauty, coupled with the faith
er's wealth, drew to her feet many suitors.
Only one, however, could gain the prize,
and that was II +, the son of rich Polish
nobeman. But when did tie course of
true love run smooth 2" FL and his father
became mixed up in one of the many rev
illusions that have occurred in Poland, their
estates were confscated, and they were OBJ
iged to flee for their lives. With the flight
OF HIS riches. r. discovered that his in
tended son-in-law would not do, and so told
the young people. The lovers separated
with VOWS Of eternal constancy, II. emf
grating to this country, aud Sarah remain
ing in London. But as the copy-book says,
" ont of sight out of uind,' and so in this
case. The sea had rolled between the
lovers for about year, when rich suitor
paid his addresses to Sarah, who accepted
and married him. II. was almost distract
ed when he heard the news, but reflection

also marrying. Years passed on, the hus-
band of Sarah died last year, leaving her a
widow, penniless and with eleven children
In the mean time the wife of II. had died
leaving him eight children. When H.
heard of the abject condition OF his first
love, all his old affections returned. He
pictured hi, Sarah poor, and with large
family dependent upon her, which resulted
in his sending for her and her children,
After mutual reiteratons of unchanged af-
fections, the marriage day was fixed, and
OF Sunday the parties were married by q
Jewish minister. They numbered one hun.
dred and four years between them--the la.
dy bling fifty years of age, with taaces Of
her former great beauty still existing, and
the husband being fifty-fonr years old. The
newly married couple have a grown-uI
family of nineteen olive branches to twnt
around their domestic hearth-stone.

7 days in tent the 7,h year was directed
TO be Sabbath Of rest tor oil things, and
at the end Of z lines years commenced the
grand jubilee every alh car the land lay
iallow every 9th year there was grand
release from all debts, and bondsruen were
set free. From this law might have orig
moled the custom of binding young men to
Z years apprenticeship, and of furnishing
incorrigible offenders by transportation for
Z, twice z, or three times years. An
GENTLY child was not named before 7days,
not being accounted to fully have life be-
fore thai periodical day. Tie teeth spring
out in the Tth month, and are she'd in the
7Ih year, when infancy is changed TO child
hood. AT thrice z years the faculties are
developed, manhood commences, AID man

at four times z man is il full possession

becomes graver and wiser, or never; seven
times he is in his appogee, and from that

and ten times Z, or three-score years and
ten, was by the royal prophet pronounced

Well Governed Children.

It's quite mistake TO suppose that chill
dren love the parents less who maintain
proper authority over them. On the con
trary, they respect them more. 1t is a cru
el and unnatural selfshne.s that ndnlges
children in foolish and hurtlul way. Pa
rents are guides and counselors TO their
children. As guide in foreign land,
they undertake TO pilot them safely through
the shoals and quicksands Of inexperience.
If the guide allows his followers all the
liberty they please-if, because they dislike
the constraint of the narrow path of safety,
he allows them to stray into holes and
down precipces that destroy them, TO loi-
ter in woods full Of wild beasts or deadly
herbs-can he be called sure guide And
is ii not the same with our children? They
are as yet only in the preface, or as ii were,
in the first chapter of the book of life. We
bave nearly finished it, or far advanced.
We must open the pages to the younger
minds. If children see their parents act
from Pri"s:fi~s .ha. dies, a. frd f-nit
without a reason; that they do not punish
because personal offense is taken, but be-
cause the thing in itself is wrong-if they
ste that while they are resoluely bu af
fectionately refused what is not good for
them, there is willingness to oblige them
preciate such conduct. If no attention is
paid to rational wishes; if no allowance is
made for youthful spirits; if they are dealt
with in hard and unsympathIzing manner
the proud spirit will rebel and The meek
spirit be broken.-Jiother'S Magazine.

A Queer People.

Chambers Journal discussing recent
book Of missionary travels in Africa, thus
alIudes to one of the tribes which are found
in that terra iacognitd---
" Rut the strangest Of all are the stories
told of the Dokos, who live among the
moist, warm bamboo woods to the south of
Kaffa and Susa. Only four feet high, Of a
dark olive color, savage and naked, they
have neither houses nor temples, neither
fire nor human food. They live only on
ants, mice and serpents, diversified by a
few roots and fruits ; they let their nails
grow long Ike talons, the better to dig for
ants, and the more easily to tear 10 pieces

but live indiscriminaie lives OF animals,

Invaluable as slaves, and are taken in large

The Coolest Thing on Record.

As General Scott's army was marching
triumphantly into the city Of Mexico. a
procession of monks emerged from he gate
of convent situated on the eminence 10
the right and advanced with slow and meas.
ured tread until they met the army at right
angles. The guide or leader of the process
sion was venerable priest, whose hair was
whitened with frost Of many winters
He held in both hands a contribution box,
upon which there was lighted candle, aad
when within few feet of the army the pro-
cession halted. As the army proceeded,
may a true beliver in ST. Patrick, dropped
some small coin or other into the priests
box. And when it was observed that
soldier was searching in his pockets for
something TO bestow, the old priest would
step forward and hold his box to receive
the donation. Untimely, there came along
q tall, guant, limber-sided, gander-looking
Yankee. who,on seeing the old priest, thrust
his hands into the very depths Of his breech-
es pockets, as if in search for dime, or
something Of the kind. The priest. ob<erv-
ing this movement. advances as usual. while
Jonathan holding greasy looking roll Of
paper, commenced very deliberately unfold-
ing it. The old priest anticipated liberal
donation, and put on an air Of the most ex-
quisite satisfaction. Jonathan continued 10
unrolI piece after piece of dry paper, until
at length he found a piece of tri-twi-ted
smoking tobacco. He next thrust his hands
into anoihrr pocket and drew forth clay
pipe, which, with the utmost drliberation,
he proceeded 10 fill by pinching off small
particles Of the tobacco. When this was
done having replaced his tobacco in HE
hreeches pocket, he stopped forward and
lighted bis pipe BY old priests candle. and
