The Valley of Jehosapbat.

The efforts the Jews have made, and the
suferings, losses and humiliations they have
borne, for the purpose of obtaining sepulture
in the valley of Jehosaphat form a singular
feature in human history, No other nation
has thus struggled, not to live in their own
land, but to be suffered to lay their dust
therein. Many descriptions have been
made of this marvellous place; but confess
none of them ever afforded me a potion Of
its actual appearance Wandering alone
past the fountain of Sloan, and by the
arid bed Of KedrOn, it suddenly opened upon
me, perfect mountain of graves hill
side paved with sepulchral slabs Each stone
is small, so small as to lead to the
conclusion that the bones must be buried
perpendicularly. At all events, if the null
titudes there inferred were simultaneously
to rise, they would form crowd as dense
and compact as it would be enormous Short
Hebrew inscriptions (some evidently of great
age) are on all the stones; and these are
laid together with intervals only of few
inches, as in our oldest church yards. The
slabs are almost on the level of the ground
SO that it is literally one large pavement of
death-an appalling, almost an overwhelm-
ing sight.-Frdzer's Mdqdzine

Dame EIeanor,s Return.


Dame Eleanor waits by the tallest tree,
In tile avenue down from the hall
Dame Eleanor hears the surge of the sea,
She watches the red leaves fall.
A stealthy step on the moonlit turf
A clinging Of lips and hands
My bark is biding beyond the surf
To bear us to-warmer lands
Bring gold, bring gems, and flee from the bower
Of the lord thou lowest no more
My lady is all too fair flower
To bloom on this barren shore"
Sir Harold has tracked his traitress wife,
Draw, thief Draw coward !" he cries;
The DETER Spaniard flashes his knife
Sir Harold falls, and dies.
The morning breeze filings the red leaves down
On pool of curdhng gore:
The morning breeze a bark has blown
Away from the Cornish shore.
A stone knight prays in the Church of Penrost,
And scuteheOn is blazing above,
And latin legend tells how he lost
At once his life and his love.
The knight had prayed and the scutcheons had
shone
For half a score of years,
When white-haired woman was found at the
stone,
And the feet were wetted with tears.
The woman was worn and wan-the mark
OF a blow defaced her cheek;
Her clenched right hand was icy and stark;
She did not move nor speak,
They lifted her up by the marble knight
They laid her-dead with grief;
They opened her hand-it was grasping tight
The dust Of an autumn-eat.

Divorces.

A Philadelphia paper says, applications
for divorce have, it is said, greatly increased
within the last few years in our city. 1t does
seem astonishing what hurry some people
are in to sunder the sacred bond, who a few
months ago were in just as great hurry to
take upon themselves the obligations and re-
sponsibilities of married life.
They kiss and twitter like mated birds for
brief fortnight, and the third week are
brought up before the courts for throwing
smoothing irons at each other, and indulg-
ing in other little endearments peculiar to
dOuble-blessedness In some late cases, hus-
bands and wives have been off the hooks be-
fore the taste of the bridal cake and wine
had been washed from their mouths. The
fact is, the whole preliminary business of
courtship is one grand systematic course of
mutual deception Both parties persistently
shut their eyes to each others true charac-
ter and insist upon investing each other
with attributes which neither possess, and
and which none but angels ever do.
They picture to themselves for the future
an earthly heaven of music, dancing, billing
and cooling, gaslight soirees and pic-nics.
This is the poetic side of the question The
prose reality comes "the morning after the
revel," and tben-look out for cold coffee,
buttonless shirts, neglected hair dye, pallid
cheeks, abandoned ringlets, snappish an
swers, hysterieal cries, pouts, and all the
other Accomplishments Of domestic torture.

A Prussian Prayer.

According to Carlyle, it was the Prussian
General Dessaner's wont to pray before en-
gaging in battle, and thus describes his
prayer A grim fervor Of prayer is in his
heart, doubtless, though the words are not
very regular or orthodox -" Herr GoH,

graced in my old days Or if thou wilt not
help me, don't help those Hundsuogte

credit of these publishers that they have
not only given us, in this piece of music,

ASoee''pofaTy journal recommends
to Congress the policy of turning Tn,
whole subject Of finance over to the Sc
cretary Of the Treasury, merely endorsing
his views and giving to his suggestion.
the force Of law. We like the idea. A
single individual, Of undoubtcd abilities
who is practical man, and has devoted
his whole life to the consideration of the
subject in all its aspects, is surely safer
GUIDE than body of lawyers and farm
ers, such as our Congress is We have
no doubt Mr.. Trenholm could, and would,
present plan for the reliefof our finances
which would completely succeedif Con-
gress would only pass the necessary laws
and not meddle with it any farther. -
Now, if this be true with regard to finan-
cial matters, how much truer is it with
regard to matters military.

have Washington before them every win.
ter, when the season had put an end to
active campaigning. They held confer
ence with him face to face, heard his
suggestions, and were guided by his ar
guments. They did not merely receive
his recommendations through written
paper, delivered by secretary. They
had him there Nth them, and along with
him all the prodigious weight of charac-
ter which he was enabled to throw into
the scale with his arguments. To his
personal influence with the members,
notwithstanding the bitter and persistent
hostility with which he was pursued by
some of them, we no doubt owe much of
the success which ultimately crowned our
arms.
Why may not Congress have General
Lee with them, to explain, to recon-
mend, to lay open what he thinks are
our absolute wants 1t is true, General
Lee is subordinate to the President, and
properly reports to him. But the Presi-
dent, most surely, could not object to a
personal conference of the Congress with
him, nor, we are convinced, would he OBJ
ject. The President, in his message, has
already preached certain military propo-
sitions which he considers of great i'm
portance Now, there is no doubt that
General Lee agrees with the President
on these subjects. Now, if General Lee
should be called in, being the man who
is to execute what the President advises,
there is no doubt his advice would carry
immense weight with it.
The great military question now be-
fore Congress is the recommendation of
the President to employ forty thousand |
slaves in certain capacities, as laborers, in
our armies, thereby releasing nearly the
same number of fighting men. This we
consider to be absolutely necessary in
the present state of affairs. If Congress
feel any doubt, let them call in General
Lee, and abide by what he says, and let |
it be done at once.

MARRYING THE WRONG LADY. The fol
lowing is love story brought to hght
recently by proceedings in the German
law courts
Vienna has been stirred up lately by
the comical result of a strange love story.
1t seems that, in the house of one Herr
Kuhne, teacher of languages, DR.. Kant,
young lawyer, happened to make the
acquaintance of lady, burdened with
some property and thirty years. The
lady, being unmarried, evidenced parti-
cular interest in the young, shy and ra-
sther abashed man of law. She made
love TO HMM fact, very strongly-and
persuaded him to visit her at her house.
But alas he loved another lady. One
evening. while conversing with the Doc
ser, she said Why, with your fayora-
BILE idea Of matrimony, may ask If you
ever thought Of marrying yourselfY' DR..
Kant sighed, and, his eyes resting on the
ground, hesitatingly muttered in reply:

and made my choice, but" But r

wish to present and hand over, as his
property. the sum Of 100, 900 guilders
