for so refusing:

The Jewels.
A TRADITION OF THE RABBITS.

The celebrated teacher, Rabbi Meir, sat
during the whole of one Sabbath day IN tie
public school lnstructing the people. During
his absence from the house his two sons
died, both of them of uncommon beauty, and
enlightened in the law. His wife bore them
TO her bed chamber, laid them upon the mar
ri~age-bed, and spread a white covering over
their bodies. In the evening the Rabol Melr
came home.
Where are my two sons he asked, that
| may give them my blessing? repeatedly
looked round the school, and | did not see
them there
She reached him a goblet. He praised the
Lord at the going out of the Sabbath, drank,
and again Asked
Where are my Sons, that they TOO may
drink of the cup of blessing?
They will not be far off, she saidprand
placed food before him, that he might eat.
He was in a gladstone and genial MOOD;
and when he had said grace after the meal,
she thus addressed him:
Rabbi, with thy permission, | would lain
propose to thee one question:
Ask it, then, my love! he replied.
GA few days ago, a person entrusted some
jewels to my custody, and now he demands
them again ; should I give them up?
This is a. question: said Rabbi Meir,
which my wife should not have thought it
necessary to ask. What, wouldst thou hes
itate or be reluctant to restore to every enc
his own?
No. she replied, 'but yet I thought it
best not to restore them without a~cquaintlng
thee herewith
She then led him to the chamber, and
stepping to the bed, took the white covering
from the dead bodies.
'Ah! my sons, my sons!' thus loudly Ia
mented the father; my sens the light Of my
eyes and the light of my understanding II
was your father, but ye were my teachers in
the law 7
The mother turned away and wept bitter
ly. At length she took her husband by the
hand, and said,
Rabbi, didst thou not teach me that we
must not be reluctant to restore that which
was entrusted to our keeping? See the Lord
gave, the Lord has taken away, and blessed
be the name of the Lord
Blessed be the name of the Lord !! echoed
Rabbi Meir, 'and blessed be his name for thy
sake, too, fer well it is written, Whose hail
found a virtsous wife, hath a greater treas
ure than costly pearls; she openeth her moutl
with wisdom, and in her tongue is the law 0
kindness"

Our Sick AND WoUNDFD.-We had a con-
versation the other day with a returned woun-
'ded North Carolina soldier, who has been in
one Of the hospitals at Richmond. He assured
US that the wounded North Carolinians at
Richalond received every attention from the
Virgiaians It was possible for them to give.
He saJ ne T%s SECT Tre raurss o rticnrzvr,rf

cies for the sick and wounded, and while
administering to the wants of all, were par
ticular to inquire for North Carolinians who
had SO CALAMITY borne the heat and burden
Of the day and defended their homes from
the ravages of the inhuman Invader. These
statements are confirmed by parents and rel
atives Of sick and wounded soldiers who
went on to assist IN nursing them. When
we take into consideration the fact that the
citizens of Richmond and many portions of
Virginia nave been for the past two wears
surrounded with the sick and wounded IRON
all parts Of the Confederacy, and that the
demands on their attention and charity are
numerous and unceasing, we think they are
deserving of much more praise rather than
the censure which some seem disposed to in
dulge in Charlotte Democrat.

To cheer my despondipg heart. +
Oh ! I feel a new incentive,
Urging me to pursue nay way;
Knowing that a dear good brother
Oft would for his sister pray
Heaven bless thee, oh my Brother!
Bless thy gentle loting wife,
And thy little ones, Ged keep them
From the evils of this life
Holy angels watch around thee,
Early where thou art called to go:
Keeping thee FROM knowing sorrow
Keeping thee from sin or woe.

Speak sweet words to cheer me OH ;

ened as the star of liberty neared the zenith OF
success, he respected and admired; but for
every one that had been enslaved in the old
country, and came to this to get liberty for
himself, and would then deny 1t to others, and
would be against the government that found
him nobody and made him a man, he had
only loathing and contempt-that he was a
traitor and dog, and that hell was palace
compared with what he deserved. The Ger
mans applauded the sentiment as just and
right, while the Irish were mad regarding it
as personal.

Iwould that my arm could join yours in tie
defense of your country and the threatening
of its liberty, which covers with shame the
generous French nation which, having begun
the progressive course Of Europe, has now
converted itself into blind instrument in the
hands of tyrant, an usurper, perjurer, who
has changed the glorious flag Of the French
Republic into standard for robbers.
But do you continue steadfast, compact and
united against this usnrpation accursed of the
world. Defend heroically your country, and
show astonished Europe that the sons of the
soil do not fight in vain when they grasp their
arms for liberty, and you will conquer, for
your cause is holy one.
