ADVANTAGE OF MARRYING Rich WIDow.
Mohammed was born in Mecca, in the year
of our Lord 57l. His youth was passed in
poverty, but his marriage with rich widow
released him from the necessity of toll and
labor. The evils of idolatry attracted his
attention, and he resolved 70 become re-
former. Assuming an air of mysterious alb.
straction, he charmed the immaginative Arab,
and practiced those ostentatious virtues
which were calculated to raise him in the es-
timation of his countrymen. Humble in de-
meanor, sparing in food, fascinating in man.
ner, and liberal in profession, he soon &C.
qaired great popularity. The lands Of the
rlch widow gave him start, and the world
now knows the progress he made in his new
religion. There is q saying current 10 the
East, .If man has been once at Mecca,
watch bin; if twice, fear him; if three times,
AVOID him as you would Satan.
Next to Christianity, Mohammedanism is
more widely diffnsed than any other religion
ID the world. Ii extends IN an uubroken
line from the shores Of the Atlantic to the
wall of China. Two hundred millions of the
human race, or about one sixth of the popu.
iatinp Of the globe, are Mohammedans, and
more than twenty millions of these are sub
jects OF Queen Victoria Joe Smith did
wonders, and Brigham Young has followed up
with energy and spirit; but how small - yet
are their lsbors compared with what Moham>
med has done? But then Joe Smith did not
marry q rich widow, and Brigham Young had
too many wives hanging upon the skirts Of
his garments.

MARRIAGES IN SpAis.-The marriage cere-
mony in Spain is conducted differently from
our own. Among the higher classes, it takes
place OF night, at the brides house and If,
from any special circumstances, it be defer
red till the morning, it is fixed for very ear
ly hour, and, in neither case is there any dis
play, though wedding feasts are provided.
The guests are confined to the family or i'm
mediate friends. and all including the bride,
dressed in black ~ which does not prevent
them being often very costly attire. Second
marriages are looked upon forro rsllta, and
discouraged in every way. Popular feeling
is SO opposed TO them that a secondhand
bride and bridegroom are considered ieelfi
mate objects of practical Jokes and most IN
moving prosecutions. II is all done in a good
humCred way, but so is the ceremony per
formed by sailors on an unfortunate land
lubber when crossing the line for the 6rst
time; and, as 10 the one case Father Nep.
tune exaets rigorous tribute, so, in the
other, must hadsome fine be paid TO Hymen
or his self-eonstituted representatives. On
the other hand, facilities exist for those Who
desire to marry neither once nor twice, in
the three and twenty converts which Madrid
contains. belonging to various orders, active
as well as commemorative.

, CrRus W. FIELD, Of Atlantic TELEGRAPH
fame, was born ia Stockbridse, Berkshire
county. Nass., Novsmbes 8, 49, He vas
the youngest but two Of family of seven
boys and two girls One Of his brothers, Rev.
Henry NJ. Field, has been long time con.
nected with the New York EpangelaH -
editor and proprietor. The Boston Josynof,
speaking Of his character says:
"As child and yosth he was remarkable
for his earnestness and promptness. Whats
ever he undertook, whether village game or
. sleigh ride, VAS sure to be done, TO be well
done, and done at the appointed time. Punct-
uality was instilled into him. His father was
model Of punctuality. He WAS never a
minute behind in an appointment in his life.
Cyrus has his fathers traits, and whoever has
sught to do with him, must come to time.
An inquiry as to him, made BY one of the vii
! lrgers, wonld have been answered, that he
was always good boy, sincere, afectionate,
and generous. he never deferred to future
time what should be then done. He was At
tentive TO his studies. He was .ruthful-any
thing that Cyrus said could be believed. He
was very exact in all his dealings with his
playmates, paying every cent he owed and
exacting the same from them. And what he
was still more noted for was his unabounded
energy and perseverance,. Any play to be
got up which would require considerable ex-
ertion, Cyrus was chosen to lead.
HIS last trip in the Great Eastern is his 3sth
voyage across the Atlantic Well may he be
proud that the dream of his life has turned
to solid reality.

CAV Romance aud sa d RenIity-
oJrlre,EpEo,ndenoe qfthe Nstp York Herald,

=, SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May 10.
In a Spanish theatrical company,
lately here, was a lady, young, hand
some, and talented. She has smitten
many they say, and in return accepted
proffered hearts innumerable- This
kind of thing is called love, by cour-
tesy only; but the course of such runs
oftentimes with as little smoOthness as
that of true love. A gentleman, who
shall be nameless, was smitten by this
lady, and paid her unremitting atten-
ton, so much so, that there were,
strangely enough, rumors of marriage
for the lady, though very fair, is very
frail. Be that as it may, the gentleman
if not matrimonially inclined, was an
accepted lover of the strongest type.
In course of time rival appeared.
One day the rivals met; the one glory
ing in his triumph, the other envlous
and devoured by chagrin by no means
in a temper to endure each other. They
met at dinner but no wine was need
ed to excite men already excited by
each others presence. The scene,
though festive, was not gay; nor did
the presence OF the lady tend TO make
matters more agreeable. When she
her to the door, and returned to
the table in time to hear a bitter
remark from his discounted rival. To
make long story short, chal-
lenge was sent and accepted that very
night. A Aduel to the death was agreed
on-just think of two men, one a Colo
mel in the army, the other a young law
yer in good practice, one with family
to take care of, both in good positions
in society, agreeing that one or the
other, or both, should die for woman
who cared for neither. I think that the
old Creole hatred of the Spaniards had
something to do with the immovable
determination of the young lawyer to
accept no apology from the Colonel,
who did all in his power to avoid the
frightfuI alternatives of murder, sui
eide, or disgrace. His adversary was
inexorable and they fought. at the
second fire the successful lover fell,
mortally wounded, and in three days
more was buried. The Colonel, of
course, has left the island. The lady
dimes TRANQUILITY every day at the table
where the dispute occurred, not yet
month ago. She sits opposite me, and
we talk about it as we do of theatres or
any other commonplace matter. She
is sorry in a commonplace way. SIT is
such pity he was killed; he was such
Il fine-IOoking young fellow. Would
be kind enough to give her wing of
that chicken, with a little of the breast?
Poor fellow, he lived not quite two
days. Is that porksteak? Thank you;
don't like pork. The ball passed clean
through his stomach" And SO we gos-
siped till dinner is over.

AIewIsl, Divorce.
The New Haven J0urhal and o0urie

The New Haven Journal and Courier
has the following:
Yesterday divorce, according to the
practice in the Hebrew Church, took
place ut the residence of the Rev. j.
Gabriel. at the present term of the
Superior Court divorce was obtained
by Louis Rothschild. One of the par
ties desired that divorce should be
granted after the manner of the He
brew custom. Yesterday it was accom-
plished. AS it is somewhat Interesting
10 know what the ceremony consisted
of, we give it. II WAS as follows: The
wife, dressed in black, with black veil
over her face, appeared with her nus
band before council of ten men, mein-
bers OF the synagogue. There were
also present three ra bbius, one of whom
acted as the petitioner, and wrote on
parchmerit petition in Hebrew, ask
ing for divorce, and also wrote out
the decree of divorce; the second acted
as the respondent or defendant, and
he third as kind of judge, the coun-
Gil of tea aching as jury.
The man and wife having appeared,
they stood side by side before the coun-
Gil. The rabbins and council then took
an oath, all shaking hands-the oath
being to the effect that they would al
ways consider the divorce legal and
binding. The wife then removed her
veil, and the rabbi who acted as petit
toner read the petition in German and
stated the case 10 the council, who,
having heard it, decreed the divorce.
The divorce, folded mp, was handed to
the husband, and the wife, raising her
open hands, the husband dropped the
paper into them. The rabbi whu acted
as Judge then took it and cut the ends
like a fringe. He then handed IL to the
president of the synagogue telling him
10 place it among the records of the So
ctety, to be preserved as evidence of the
divorce. This having been done, the
ceremony was finished, and the parties
departed, no longer man and wife.

THE EUROPEAN CRISIS CULMINATING.
The steamship Hibernian, with Euro
pean dates 10 the lSt inst, brought
news most important and interesting
in regard to the European complica-
'tions. A congress of powers had been
agreed upon and would shortly meet,
probably at Paris, with Louis Napo-
leon as presiding officer. The object of
the conference, according to the note of
invitation sent to the federal diet by
the French government, is to secure
diplomatic settlement of the questions
of Schleswig- II Holstein, Venetia and
federal reform, so far as they each and
all affect the European equilibrium.
The several powers will be represented
by the ministers of foreign affairs, with
the exception of Austria, who will
probably send Prince Metternich.
But there is very little expectation or
prospect that this Congress will be able
TO avert u war. Austria will not listen
to the giving up of Venetia. She had
already 60O,0O0 men raised; she had
thousands of men engaged in building
fortifications; the headquarters of her
army were about being moved to
Prague, and the commander of the
forces had issued orders to his troops
relative to their conduct in hostile
country. And besides, she had levied
u forced loan of twelve millions horins,
in Lombardo, Venitia, and was report
ed to pc trying TO get ulstlnBulsneu
Polish chieftain to head a revolution in
Prussian Poland. or course, while the
Congress is pending she drops active
preparations for war, as do Prussia and
Italy, where there has been hardly less
warlike activity than in Austria; but it
is easily to be seen that they all alike
regard the proposed Congress as ii mere
form, and mean to be ready for vigor-
Gus fighting as soon as it is declared
failure. Napoleon will call into play
all his resources of diplomacy, but It
looks now as though there would be
war in spite of hin-if indeed he really
wishes to avoid war, which is not GER
tain, though his words and actions just
now are peaceful. f- F-HN
