u A religious journal gives a
remarkable account Illustrating the
credulity of the Jews in Russia and
Poland in respect to their expected
Messiah. In Sada Coda, solitary
dirty Jewish town in a desolate
region of the Buscovine, there resides
family from which the Messiah is
expected to come according to the
belief of two-thirds of the Jews
residing in the Slavonie countries.
The present patriarch Of the family
is represented as an old idiot, who is
reduced to the lowest state of stu
pidity, and who has amassed mil
lions by means of his superstitious
sect, who consider it sacred duty
TO visit the chief of their Messiahic
family at least once in their life, each
one taking tributary gift, never
less than pound sterling. Every
possible kind of magnifcence and
luxury is stored up in the chambers
of his palace, and the elegant man
sions of his daughters and son-in-law,
who are selected from the richest of
the rich. The palace contains a
silver room, with all conceivable
articles of plate, reckoned to be
worth several hundreds of thousands
of rubles. The most magnificent
Turkish carpets and the heaviest
damask curtains are piled in the sit
ting rooms, all the votive offerings of
the deluded Jews.

THE CHoLERA.-Desiring at all

#
The CHoLERA.-Desiring at all
times to deal fairly and candidly
with our friends in the country, who
depend upon honest information to
guide them in their intercourse with
our city, we feel bound to state, that
there have been several cases of the
cholera 10 certain places in the out
skirts Of our city The places mostly
infected with the disease are the
Penitentiary and "catfshtow A
number of the cases have proved
fatal. "~
We believe it is generally conce-
ded that cholera is not contagious
disease, and need not be feared on
this account. 1t travels about in the
most mysterious manner, oftentimes,
visiting the most healthy localities
and passing over others which, from
inherent causes, would seem to invite
it.
We can hardly think that our
country friends would be running
any risk of contracting the disease
by coming to town at present, but of
this they will of course, be their own
judges. So far as safety from chol-
era is concerned, one place would
seem to afford as much guarantee as
another-the city as much as the
country unless, perhaps, it be in
the pine region, which is safer re-
treat comparatively, from epidemics,
than any other.

hung up their coats in a Baltimore
barber's shop, the other day, says an
exchange, and one of them getting
through first, took by mistake the
coat of the other, in which was a

the coat fitted, he did not discover
his mistake until accosted by po-

saw 1t, and BURT into tears, at the respect q

heart broken sister, has treasured up those
sweet lines, and when she is despondinp

such sweet consolation in the perusal, and
they seem to comfort her 80 much. We
endeavored at the time to ascertain the
strangers name, who had shown 80 much
respect to the remains of her poor child and
whom we knew to be the author of those
sweet verses, but were unable. We asked
Mr.. Pike, but he politely informed US that
he was not at liberty to give us the authors
name, and 80 we have remained in igno-

thanking him personally as we have con-
tinualy in our heart Of hearts.

LITTLE EMMA, IN HEAVEN.

Sweet bud of promise, thou didst grace
A paradise below;
But thou didst quickly run thy race,
Death call'd, and thou didst 60.
Thy face, no beautiful and bright,
No more on earth we'll see;
But thou dost dwell in glorious light,
Thy spirit is set free.
Thy voice no longer can hear,
Joining our songs ofpraise
Yet thou art chanting-if net here
In Heaven-thy sweetest lays.
The seat which thou vast wont to take
In sabbath-school when here,
Is vacant now; and, for thy sake,
Thy friends shed many tear.
Thy little mates. how sad their hearts,
When told that theu vast deadi
They could not bear with thee to part
Bitter the tears they shed.
Grieve not, young friends, though deaths cold
hand
Has severed her from thee;
For she has Joined her sisters band,
In be.t Eternity
Weep not, foda snother,-w no morei
Thy loved ones are at rest;
Lifs's SORROWS with them now are DER
They sleep on jesus breast.
Weep notl though ALL thy buds so fair
Have failed to bloom in Love;
They're blooming aoao In Heavenly air,
In Paradise above.
While we are toiling here below,
No cares disturb their peaceful breasts;
Life's various ills they'll never know,
Nor be again BY pain distressed.
methinks your lovely ones see,
The brightest in that chsrub band,
Whose hymns OF holy harmony
Ring sweet in heavens eternal land.
And you, when lfe's sweet sands have past,
May meet your children on that shsrs,
Where fipd the weary rest at last,
Where pain and death can come no more.

write some verses on the death of my
dear little EMMA. I know you can, and
do hope, the love she bore you while liv-

shall be daily offered in your behalf through

madam, that the closing paragraph of
your touching letter would seem to imply,
/ would endeavor to invoke the poetic

those sympathetao notes, as would vibrate
in unison with your feelings,-ard were
better man, I would point Your weary
and care worn spirit, to brighter and
better world than this,-I would point you
to the Savior of Israel the Lion of the
tribe of Judah, the Shiloh of Joseph, and
the Hope of Benjamin;-I would tell you,
that
"Affections though they seem severe,

Fist and Skull,

Thr lovers of that refined and elegant sport,
so dear to the pages Of Bells Life, were great
ly Disguised the other day, at the absurd at
titude in which Messrs GROSS and MACE pre-
sented themselves before the British public.
These two fistic celebrities lost cast for ever
with John Bull and stand convicted of lack
of pluck, which is objectionable in English
eyes. 1t seems that this "disgracefull exhib-
iton," as Bells Life called it, has touched the
professional ambition of the alumni of the
Prize Ring on this side of the Atlantic, and
in the late fight between CoLYER and AARON
which came off near Washington on Wednes-
day last, there was some atonement offered
the professional honor
The exhibition was witnessed by select
company of barbarians, who hung over " the
ropes" with brutal delight until the bloody
sport was over TO people of higher civil
ization, the disgust attaching to the scene will
not be decreased by the fact that the awful
hammering which these two strong men gave
each other, was stimulated by vulgar bet Of
$500 side, for which they fought through
forty-fve rounds. This is good record in
the esteem of the Prize Ring, and when we
reflect that each Ground" is separate battle
in itself, the endurance of the men must ex-
cite the surprise of the less muscular public.
The report before US is full of statements
which must disgust US. all of whi.h
are written down with a grave, historic accu-
racy, and we rise from its perusal with the
reflection superadded to our disgust, that
these fellows must indeed be wonderfully
formed to endure such prodigious pounding
