The Early Home Of Jesus.

Four miles south of the strong Green
city of Sephoris, hidden away among
the hills. then covered from the base to
the crown with vineyards and figtrees,
lay natural nest or basin of rich red
and white earth. star.like in shape and
wonderously fertile. Along the sacred
and chalky slope of one of the highest
of these hills spread small and lovely
village, which, In a land where every
stone seemed to have a story, is re-
marksble as having no public history,
and no distinguished native name.
No great road to lead up to it; no
traffic came into it, no legions passed
through it no trade, war, adventure.
pleasure, pomp passed through it, flow
ing from west to east and from east to
vast along the Roman road. But the
meadows were aglow with wheat and
barley. Near the low ground ran belt
of gardens, fenced with stones, in which
were myraids of green figs, red pome-
GRANTEES and golden citrons ripening in
the summer sun. High up the slopes,
which were lined and planted like the
Rine at Bingen, hung the vintages,
purple with grapes. In the plain,
among the corn and beneath the fig
and mulberry trees, shone daisies, pop
pies, tulips. lilies and anemones, end
less in their profusion and brilliant 10
their dyes.
Low down on the hillside sprang a
well of water, bubbling plentiful and
sweet; and above this fountain of life,
in a long street, struggling from the
fountain into the synagogue, rose the
homesteads of many shepherds, crafts
men and vinedressers. 1t was love
ly and humble place, of which noruler,
no historian of Israel had. ever taken
notice. No Rachel had been met and
kissed into love at this well ; no Ruth
had gathered up the sheaves of barley
IN yon fields; no tower had been built
for observation on this height, no camp
had ever been pitched for battle in that
vale. That one who would become
dearer to the fancies of men than eth
er Ruth or Rachel, then walked thro'
these fields, drew water at this spring,
and passed up and down the lanes of
this hamlet, no seer then could have
surmised.
The place was no more than obscure.
The Arab may have pitched his black
tent by the well; the magistrates of
Sephoris ,Tuust have known the village,
but the hamlet was never mentioned
by the Jewish scribes. In the Bible,
in tAe Talmud, in'the writings Of jose
phus, We search in vain for any record
of this sacred place. Like its happy
neighbors, Main and Endor, it was the
abode of husbandmen, oil and vine
dressers, whose lives were spent in the
synagogue, the vineyard and the olive
grove, away from the bright Greek
cities, and the busy Roman roads. No
doubt it had once been possessed of an
Arab or Hebrew name, but we do not
know the name except by its Hellenic
form. The Greeks called the town
Nazsret or Nazareth.

A Curious Historical Fact-A
Sea which Dried up and
ReaPPeared after n Lapse
of I,2OO Years.

A curious question was discussed at
a recent meeting of the British Royal
Geographical Society. Sir Henry Raw
linson expressed the opinion that the
sea of Aral-a body of water having an
area OF $4,000 square miles, or three
times the size of Massachusetts-had
no existance in the period between
600 years before Christ and 600 years
after, and the rivers 0xus and Jsxaries,
now flowing into it. both flowed into
the Caspian sea. He said: "The sea
first comes into notice in the. seventh
century, and those two rivers are spo-
ken of for several hundred years as
emptying into it. Another change
seems to have occurred between 1900
and 1900, and the rivers again flowed
into the Caspian sea but since the late
date they slowly changed their chan
nels until they found an outlet in the
sea of Aral." This theory was combat
ed by Sir Roderick Murchison, the ge-
ologist, who affirmed that the mere sb-
sence of sllusion to the sea of Aral was
no proof of its non-existence, and cited
the geological evidence that whatever
changes the sea had undergone must
have occurred long before the birth of
history or tradition. Sir Henry Raw.
linson, IN reply, said that evideDce ex-
lists in the writing of the 18th and 18th
centuries that highway of travel from
Europe to Asia passed directly oyer
the region now covered by the waters
of the Aral. His opponent admitted
that such evidence would be conclu-
sive. Here the debate ended, with the
understanding tLst Sir Henry is to
collect and publish the proofs of his
assertion.

Commercial Honor.

Two centuries ago it was thought an
insult in the Highland of Scotland to
ask a note from a debtor. It was con-
sidered the same as saying, 81 doubt
your honor" If parties had small
businessmatterst to transact they stepped
out into the open air, fixed their eyes
on the heavens, and each repeated 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 a thing as breach
of contract, we are told, was then very
rarely met with, so highly did the peo-
pie regard their honor, and so truly
did they fear Him beneath whose eye
they performed such acts.
When the march of improvement
brougbt in.the new mode of doing busi-
ness, they often were panied by these
innovations. An anecdote Is handed
down of q farmer who had been to the
Lowlands and learned worldly wisdom.
On returning to his native parish he
had need ofs sum of money, and made
bold to ask a gentleman of means,
named Stewart. This was cheerfuly
granted, Mr.. S. counting out the gold
on his. library table. This done the
farmer took pen and wrote a receipt
and offered it to the gentleman.
WHAT is this, manl" cried Mr.. Stew
art, sternly cycling the slip of paper.
alt is a receipt, sir, binding me to
giveye back yer gold at the right time"
replied Sandy.

gathering it up, he put it back in his
desk and turned his key on 1t.
"But, sir, might die" replied the
canny Scotchman, bringing up an argu-
ment in favor of his new wisdom,
land my sons might refuse it to ye.-
But this bit O. paper would compel

Scot. They'll need compelling to do

Thad. stevens on the PreSi-
dents Views.

The following is copy of letter
from Hon. Thaddeus Stevens in reply
to an inquiry which the letter itself
will explain:
SEPTEMBER 81, 1867.
DEAR SIR: In answer to your inquiry,
what effect the success of the Presi-
dents views will have on the national
securities? ?" l am of opinion that its
effect wouldgbe very injurious.
The President contends that the
body of men acting as Congress has no
constitutional powers, and can do no
valid acts in the absence of the exclu-
ded States. The Congresses that au-
thorized the war debt, and laid the in
ternal duties to pay it, were composed
of precisely the same number of rep
resentatives, from the same States as
the present. If it should be decided
that those Congresses had no constitu-
tional existence, the tiye-twenties ten
foIties, seven-thirties and the legal ten
der greenbacks will have been issued
without authority, and viii be worth
less.
Whether they would ever be re-
deemed would depend on what the
President would consider q Constitu-
tional Congress, after the admission of
the rebel representatives, when the
condition of the debts of both bellig-
erents would be considered.
Yours, truly,
THADDEUs STEVENS.

Fight Between Eleven Hun
dred Horses.

Southey, in his History of the Pen
insular War;" relates the following:
Two of the Spanish regiments which
had been quartered in Funen were
cavalry, mounted on fine black Anda-
lusisn horses. 1t was impossible to
bring off these horses-about eleven
hundred in nunber-and Romano was
not a man who could order them to be
destroyed he was fond of horses him
self, and knew that every man was at
tached to his beast which had carried
him so far and so faithfully. Their
brides were therefore taken off, and
they were turned loose on the beach
A scene ensued such as was never be-
fore witnessed. They became sensible
that they were no longer under the re-
straint of any human power. A gener-
al conflict ensued, in which, retaining
the discipline they had learned,
they charged each other in squadrons
of ten and twelve together, ther close
ly engaged, striking with their forefeet,
and biting and tearing each other with
the most ferocious rage, and tramping
over those who were beaten down,
till the whole shore in the course of an
hour, was strewn with the dead and
disabled. Part of them had been set
free on rising ground at distance. =
They no sooner heard the roar of bat
tie, than they came laundering down
over the hedges, and catching the con-
tagious madness, plunged into the
fight with equal fury. Sublime as the
scene was, it was horrible to be con-
templated, and Romano, IN mercy,
gave orders to destroy them. But it
was found too dangerous to be at
tempted, and after the last boat had
quilted the beach, the few horses that
remained were still engaged in the
dreadful work of mutual destruction. ="
