FOREIGN BEDS.

It is curious to notice the habits of different ma
tions in regard to beds. However dress, food,
manners, cooking, political conditions may vary in
other countries the beds differ as notably as any
thing does. In Eastern nations the bed Is often
nothing but carpet, and is carried about and
spread in any convenient spot and the tired native
lies down in his clothes. We remember child
who used to be puzzled with those miracles Of our
Saviour, who, in restoring an impotent man, d.
rected him to take up his bed and walk-hls idea
of bed consisting of four-post bedstead, with
its palaisse mattress and feathered bed, besides
blankets, sheets and pillows. But even in very
cold countries, the beds are closely allied to the
Eastern carpet In taking furnished house in
Russia, on inquiring for the servants bedrooms
and BEDS which did not appear in the inventory
on our surveying the apartments, it comes out that
the Russian servants are In the habit Of lying any
wherein the-passages on the floors, on the mats
at the roomdoor or even on the carpets in the sit
ting-r g-rooms-generally as near as possible to the
stoves in the winter season. The Emperor himself
sleeps on leathem sofa, in sitting room, lying
down in dressing gown, but not removing his
underclothing. But in Russia the houses are kept
SO warm by the system of stoves through the walls
that much bed covering is no more required in
winter than during the heats Of summer. In Ger
many the construction Of the beds gives one the
impression that the Germans do not know what it
is to lie down. The bedstead is short wooden
case; there is mattress extended from head to
foot, but SO formed that at the half way the upper

THE HOLY LAND IN 1867.

The Chicago Journal has q correspondent who
is strolling through the Holy Land and Palestine.
He is not particularly impressed with its present
state whatever its past may have been. He says
II have not seen q wagon-road in Palestine. Even
the stones and timber for building the houses of
Jerusalem must be brought in the city upon the
backs of camels and donkeys and the roads over
which Abraham David, Christ and the Apostles
once travelled are but paths winding over rocks and
around the base of sterile mountains. In fact this
whole land, said to have been once SO beauti-
tiful, is now but rocky barren waste. l think |
have seen more good land in one square mile in
Iowa or Illinois than in all Palestine. Much OF
the country is occupied by the Bedouin Arabs, and
for the privilege Of visiting the river Jordan and
Dead Sea their Shiek requires 50. from each
person. For this amount he sends guard. of A
rabs with you. ''The poulation of Jerusalem is
now said to be but $4,000. The correspondent,
upon this fact, moralizes thus: "while looking at
the city as it now stands, with the narrow streets
filled with dogs, Arabs and filth it is hard to rea-
lie that it was once the home Of more than one
million human beings, and the proud metropolis
of a mighty nation. While looking out OF the
window at the Mosque of Omar, where the Iurk
bears rule, can but ask myself the question, Is
lit possible that on that spot stood the temple OF
Solomon? Is it there that David held his court
The pages of history answer, Yes. That spot is
Mount Moriah. Upon that ground stood that
Temple whose glory filed the whole earth.

BEHIND TIME.

A rail road train was rushing along at almost
lightning speed. A curve was just ahead beyond
which was station at which the cars usually pass
ed each other. The conductor was late so late
that the period during which the down train was
to wait had nearly elapsed; but he hoped yet to
pass the curve safely. Suddenly a locomotive
dashed into sight right ahead. In an instant
there was confusion, shrek, and fifty souls were
in eternity and all because an engineer had been
behind time
A great battle was going on. Column after
column had been precipitated for eight mortal
hours on the enemy posted along theridge of hill
The summer sun was sinking to the west rein
forcements for the obstinate defenders were alrea-
DIV in sight it was necessary to carry the position
with one final charge, or everything would be lost
A powerful CORDS had been summoned from across
the country and if it came up in season all would
vet be right. The great conqueror, certain OF its
arrival, formed his reserve into an attacking col
umn, and led them down the hill. The whole
world knows the result. Grouchly failed to appear,
the imperial guard was beaten back and Waterloo
was lost. Napoleon died prisoner at St Helana
because one of his marshals was behind time.
A leading firm in commercial circles had long
struggled against bankruptcy. As it had enormous
assets in California, it expected remittances by
certain day, and if the sums promised arrived, its
credit, its honor, and its future prosperity would
be preserved. But week after week elapsed with
on which the firm had bills maturing to enormous
amounts. The steamer was telegraphed at day
break; but it was found on enquiry that she
brought no funds, and the house failed. The
next arrival brought nearly half a million to the
insolvent, but it was too ate they were ruined be-
cause their agent in remitting, had been behind
time.

A condemned man was led out for execution
He had taken human life, but under circumstance
of the greatest provocation, and public sympath!
was active in his behalf. Thousands had signet
petitions for his reprieve; favorable answer hat
been expected the night before, and though it hat
notcome, even thesherf felt confident thatit woult
yet arrive in season. Thus the morning passed
without the appearance Of the messenger. Tht
last moment was up. The prisoner took his place
on the drop, the cap was drawn over his eyes, the
bolt drawn, and lfeless body swung revolving il
the wind. Just at that moment horseman came
into sight, galloping down the hill, his steed white
with foam. He carried packet in his right hand
which he waived partially to the crowd. He wa
the express rider with the reprieve; but he hac

It is continually so in life. The best hid plans
the most important affairs, the fortunes Of in
dividuals, the wear of nations, honor, happiness
life itself, are daily sacrificed because somebody il

whatever they undertake, simply becasue they art

THE OLD MANS REVERE.

I love to look on scene like this,
Of wild and careless play,
And persuade myself that am not old,
And my locks are not so gray;
For it stirs the blood of an old mans heart
And makes his pulses fly,
To catch the thrill of happy voice,
And the light of a pleasant eye.
T have walked the earth for four score years,
And they say that I am old
That my heart is ripe for the reaper, Death,
And my years are well nigh told.
It is very true-it is very true
I am old, and "bide my time;''
But my heart will leap at scene like this,
And half renew my prime.
Play on play on am with you there,
In the midst Of your merry ring;
can feel the thrill of the darling jump,
And the rush of the breathless swing.

And whopo the smothered call,
And my feet slip up on the seedy floor,
And care not for the fall.
lam willing to die when my time shall come
And shall be glad to go
For the world, at best, is weary place,
And my pulse is getting low;
But the grave is dark, and the heart will fail
In treading its gloomy way;
And it wiles my heart from its dreariness
10 see the young so gay.

BEA GENTLEMAN AT HoAR.--There are few
families, we imagine, anyr here, in which love is
not abused as furnishing license for impoliteness
A husband, or father, or brother, viii speak harsh
words to those that he loves the best and to those
that love him the best, simply because the security
of love and family pride keeps him from getting
his head broken. Eis a shame that man will

Ell DORADO.


Ell Dorado! land of gold!
Wondrous region! from whose shore,
Fabled treasures, wealth untold,
May be gather'd evermore;
Noic, as oft in days of yore,
Man thy hidden wealth would hold
Still thy mysteries explore
Land Of fiction-land of gold.
Ell Dorado land of gold!
Distant country, from who's, shore,
Visions golden, we behold,
Glistening, dazzling evermore,
Sparkling bright with golden ore,
Murmuring streamlets ever flow,
Onward to pearly shore,
Ger their diamond beds below.
Ell Dorado land of gold!
In thy valleys, choicest fow'rs
Bloom perpetual, we are told
Fed alone by vernal show'rs:
Giant trees like lofty towers,
Grandly rise to heights their own,
Sheltering mid their leafy bowers
Plum'd songsters, yet unknown.
Ell Dorado land of gold!
Meath thy waters crystal sheen,
Living myriads here unfold
Wonders yet by man unseen;
Whilst thy forests, widely teem
With its herds of stately game
More in species, it would seem,
Than in numbers, we could name.
Ell Dorado! land of gold!
Tempered mildly by the sun,
Summer heat and winter cold
Never reach within thy zone;
Vernal zephyrs ever borne
From the pest,0ard, constant bring
Scented perfumes to thy home,
'Stilpd from fragrant flow'rs Of Spring.
Ell Dorado! land of gold!
What are treasures, pleasures, when,
Greed and av'rice captive hold
S1aves to aVealth, the souls of men?
Land of treasures give men then
Ell Dorado, land Of gold
STEAD of selfish greed Of gain,
El Dorado for the soul.
