The Restored Jewels.

The celebrated teacher, Rabbi Meir, sat
during the whole Of one Sabbath day, in
the public school, instructing 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 his bedehamber, laid them
upon the fnarriage-bed, and spread white
covering over their bodies.
In the evening the Rabbi Meir came
home. 49,. - 80. s.sl-.L-4-.--.s~.
She reached him goblet. He praised
the Lord at the going down Of the Sabbath,
drank and asked:
"Where are my two sous that l may give
them blessing? repeatedly looked around
the school, and did not see them there.
Where are my sons, that they too may drink
of the cup Of blessing?"
"They will not be far of" she said, and
she placed food before him that he might
eat.
He was in gladstone and genial mood I;
and when he had said grace after the meal,
she thus addressed him:
"Rabbi, with thy permission, l would
fain propose one question to thee"
"Ask it, then, love-" he replied.
"a few days ago person entrusted some
jewels to my custody, and now he demands
them again. Should give them up?"
"This is a question" said Rabbi Meir,
(which my wife should not have thought
it necessary to ask. What! wOuld'st thou
hesitate or be reluctant to restore every one
his own"
"No," she replied, "but yet thought it
best not to restore them without acquaint-
ing 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
lamented the father, "my sons! the light
of my eyes and the light Of my understand
ing! l was your father, but ye were my
teachers in the law"
The mother turned away and wept Bit
terly. At length she took her husband by
the hand, and said: Rabbi, did'st thou not
teach me that We must not be reluctant to
restore that which was entrusted to our
keeping? See, the Lord gave and 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, for well it is written,
Whose hath found virtuOus wife, hath a
greater treasure than costly pearlsl She
openeth her mouth with wisdom, and in her
tongue is the law Of kindness"

Aristocratic Cooks.

Our republican notions Of equality, says
New York journal, render the relations Of
servants more and more difficult and preca-
riOus. 1t is part Of the penalty we must
pay for the blessings Of free institutions,
where, as the Irishman said, "One man is
just as good as another, and little better "
Laugh about it as We may, it is fact that
servants now choose their own places, and
feel more independent than their employers.
Few ladies are able to be as Independent as
our friend Mrs. Jones. She called at Mad
anne ThompsOn's " Emporium for Female
Domestic Household Assistants and General
Agency for Urban and Suburban Families
Of Gentility," and asked for a cook. Pres
entity was ushered into the reception-room
q gOrgcously-dressed woman Of masculine
proportions, who took a seat on the sofa by
the side Of Mrs. Jones, and said:
You wish cook, do your"
Mrs. Jones intimated that her wants were
in that direction.
"Well, that's my line: l can do French,
Italian, or English cooking anything but
Yankee. Ican.make jollies, char. de russo,

"What wages do you expect for all that?'

Industrial Heroes.

Richard ArkWright, it would seem, was
not a beautiful man; no romance hero with
naughty eyes, Apollo lips, and gesture like
the herald Mercury; plain, almost gross
bag-cheeked, pOtbellied, Lancashire man,
with an air Of painful reflection, yet also Of
copious free digestion; q man stationed by
the community to shave certain dusty
boards, in the Northern parts Of England,
at q halfpenny each To such ehd, We
may say, by forethought, oversight, accis
dent, and arrangement, had Richard Ark
wright been by the community Of England
and his own consent, set apart. Neyerthe'
less, in strapping Of razors, in lathering
dusty boards, and the contradictions and
confusions attendant thereon, the man had
notions in that rough head Of his; spindlcsj
shuttles, wheels, and contriyances plying
ideally with the same; rather hopeless
looking; which, however, he did at last
bring to bear. Not without difficulty. His
townsfolk rose in mobs round him, forthreat-
ening to shorten labor, to shorten wages J
so that he had to fly with broken washpOts,
scattered household, and seek refuge else
where. Nay, his wife too, as ] learn, re-
belled; burned his wooden model Of his
spinning wheel; resOlute that be should
stick to his razOrs rather; for which he de-
cisively, as thou wilt rejoice to understand,
packed her out of doors. o reader, what
a historical Phenomenon is that bag-bellied,
much enduring, much inventing man and
barberl French Revolutions were brew
ing to resist the same in any measure, i'm
perial Kaisers were impotent without the
cotton cloth Of England and il was this
man that had to give England the power of
cotton.

Keep Bees.

A French bishop, being about to make
his annual visitation, sent word to certain
curate, whose ecclesiastical benefce was ex-
tremely trifling, that he meant to dine with
him, at the same time requesting that he
would not put himself to any extraordinary
expense. The curate promised to attend
to the bishops suggestion; but he did not
keep his word, for he provided most sump-
tuous entertainment. His lordship was
much surprised and could not help eensur.
ing the conduct of the curate; observing
that it was highly ridiculous in man whose
circumstances were SO narrow, to launch
out in such expense-nay, almost to dissi-
pate his annual income in single day.
"Do not be uneasy on that score, my
lord" replied the curate, for I can assure
you that what you now see is not the pro-
duce Of my curacy, for that I bestow ex-
clusively upon the poor"
"Then you have a patrimOny, SIR" said
the bishop.
"No, my lord"
"You speak in riddles" rejOiued his
lOrdship; how do you cOntrive to live in
this manner!"
"My lord, have a convent of young
damsels here, who do not let me want any
thing"
"How you have convent? Ibid not
know there was one in this neighborhOOd.
This is all very strange, very unaccOunta-
bic, Mr.. Curate"
"You are jOcular. my lord"
"But come, sir, entreat that you would
solve the enigma: 1 would fain see the con-
vent"
$50 you shall, my lord, after dinner
and I'll promise that your lordship will be
satisfied with my conduct"
Accordingly, when dinner was over, the
curate conducted the prclate to a large en-
closure, entirely occupied by bee-hives, and
pointing to the latter, observed, "This, my
lord, is the convent which gave us a din
ner; it brings me about 1900 livres year,
upon which / live very comfortably, and
with which contrive to entertain my guests
genteelly."
The surprise aud satisfaction Of the bishop
may be readily conceived. The sequel Of
the story informs Us that ever afterwards,
whenever curate made application to his
lOrdship for IN improved living, he would
only energetieally reply-"Keep bees
keep becs!'

wAYwARD MEMORIES.

The wind Of our autumn midnight
Is moaning around my door;
The curtains wave at the window,
TIE carpet lifts on the floor.
There are sounds Ike startled footballs
In the distant chambers now.
And the touching Of airy fingers
Is busy on hand and brow.
Tis thus, in the Souls dark dwelling,
By the moody host unsought,
Through the chambers Of Memory wander
The Invisible airs Of Thought.
For Il bloWeth where Il lIsteth,
With murmur loud or low;
Whence il eometh-whither It gOeth-
None tells Us, and none may know.
Nov weaFying round the portals aa
OF the vacant, desolate mind,
As the doors Of ruined mansion =
That cFeak in the cold night wind.
And anon an awful memory
Sweeps over i fierce and high,
Like the roar OF . mountain forest
When The midnight gale goes by.
Then lis voice subsides In wailing,
And, ere the dawning Of day,
Nurmuring fainter and fainter.
In the distance dies away.
