Honor the Strongest Bond.

Two centuries ago it was thought an insult
in the Highlands of Scotland 70 ask note
from debtor. 1t was considered the same
as saying, II doubt your honor" If parties
had small business matters to transact to-
gether, they stepped out into open air, fixed
their eyes upon the heavens and each repeat-
cd his obligation with no mortal witness. A
mark was then carved in some rock or tree
near by to be a remembrance of the compact.
Such thing as a breech of contract. VIC arc
told, was then very rarely met with, so high
ly did the people regard their honor. and so
truly did they fear Him beneath whose eye
they performed such acts.
When the march of improvement brought
the new mode of doing business, they were
often panied by these innovations. An an
ccdote Is handed down Of farmer who had
been to the Lowlands and learned worldly
wisdom. On returning to the native parish
he had need of sum of money, aud made
bold to ask loan of a gentlemen of means.
named Stewart This was cheerfuIly grant
ed, and Mr. Stewart counted out the gold on
his library table. This done, tho farmer took
pen and wrote receipt, and offered it to
the gentleman.
"What is this, ?" cried Mr. Stewart,
stcrnly eyeiug the slip of paper.
''lt is a receipt, sir, binding me ia give We
back yer gold at the right time" replied
Sandy.
"Binding yc2 Well. my man, If We Gamma
trust yerse!t' I'm sure I'll na trust ye! Ye
Gamma ha' my gold :" and gathering it up he
put it back in his desk aud turned his kew
on it.
but, sir, might die" replied the canny
ScOtchman. bringing up an argument in favor
Of his new wisdom, land my sons might re-
fuse it to ye. But this bit o paper wad conf
pei them"
"COmPd them to sustain a dead fathers
honor! cried the high-minded Scot
They'll need compelling to do right if this
is the road yer leading them; III neither
trust ye nor them. Ne can gang elsewhere
for money! But yell find none in this par
ish that'Il put more faith in bit o paper
than in neighbor's word o honor and his
fear O God :"

Longevity of the Jews.

ed), throughout Asia, the jew fourishes rs

or. Morocco numbers 100000, Algiers So
900, aud considerable portion of Jewish
blood exists IN Abysiuia, the mountains Of

the average duration of life of the jews of
that city 10 be lS years and 9 months. that of
the rest Of the population So years and /

One-tourth of the total number Of the latter

of the former three ioUrths attain the age of

The Discipline of the French Army.

The enOn-commissiOnedo officers in the French
army are not often reduced to the ranks, al
though the colonel of the regiment has power
to do so. They are generally punished by
confinement to barracks, or arrest in their
own quarters, or, if on active service, in the
tents which serve as the guard house For
offences against honesty, or for insubordina-
ton, they are always tried by a court martial.
The commissioned officers, in like manner
are punished by from three to thirty days
arrest in their own quarters, for any omission
in matters of duty, or on account of any folly
for which their youth may plead with the
colonel not to be too hard upon them Some
times an officer who has misbehave1 is ex-
changed into another regiment. and OCCASION
ally, but rarely, is placed on the inactive list,
which is equivalent to temporary half.pay.-
The latter punishment is resOrted to some
times when officers have run very deeply into
debt, and it is thought better that they should
retire for a time from their regiment, until
they can make some arrangement with their
creditors. 1t is true that the latter cannot
arrest them; but still Indebtedness in the
French army is considered a disgrace and
unworthy of those who wear the uniform
With them officers have no excuse for being
behind the world. The State takes great care
that they shall have no excuse for extrava-
gance. The trades. tradesmen, workmen. and
officers of a French regiment arc of them
selves something to see and to study. The
baking of the bread, the killing of the meat.
the repairing of the barrack buildings, the
making of boots and clothes-all things, in
short. that can possibly be required in the
regiment are done by the men the rselves, aud
they thus earn considerable additions to their
pay. Every soldier. when once he has learned
his drill, is expected to work at something or
other; and those that can do nothing better
dig and delve aud plant aud cultivate the gar
dens which supply vegetables for the differ
cnt regimental messes. Nothing seems to be
