In SYRIA.-Tf a man divorces his wife he
cannot take her again. or even see her face
1t both man and wife agree to a divorce; 1t
takes place; if not there is a secret meeting
held Of the friends of the parties, called the
assembly Of veriicatiOn. If the fault be on
the side Of the male, he must on separation,
give the wife the half of his property, and Uice
UerSd One Of the most singular customs of
the Druses is that if news, true or false, go
abroad that man has divorced his wife, the
cadi sends for him and says: "The news Of
your divorce having gone abroad, it must take
place. And if the man should say: Il have
not divorced my wife, it is of no avail. If
any female make fdur pas, the whole family
is so diSgraced that no other will intermarry
with them, and they become utterly contempt
ible; ; but the brother, the uncle or, if no near
er relation exist, the cousin, by putting her to
death, wipes out the disgrace, and the family
Is restored to its former position. In case
like this, the civil authority rarely or never in
tertercs to punish the murderer. The best IL
lustraton | can give OF this subject is an anec-
dote related to me by the deputy of local
governor: Il was asleep in bed when, in the
middle of the night, | heard rap at the door
of my room. Who there?' said |. A voice
answered. 'Nasreddin. | opened the door,
and in came Druse, bearing a sack on bis
shoulders What brings you here at this un-
timely hour?' said |. My sister has had an
intrigue, and have killed her There is her
horn and other ornaments in the sack; and,
as am afraid the Governor will do something
to me, | want your intercession:' Why, here
are two horns in the sack, said |. i killed
her mother, too, for she knew of the intrigue
There is no power but in God Almighty =
If Your sister was impure, was that reason
for killing your mother? But lie down and
sleep. In the morning said to him: 1 sup
pose you were too uneasy to sleepY BY Al
lah U, my uncle Ia usual phrase) SO unhap-
py has dishonor made me that for year
have not slept soundly until last night. |
then went with him to the Governor and said
Will you give Nasreddin the handkerchief Of
amnesty The Governor said to Nasreddin
Speak without fear. Nasreddn recounted
his story, and the Governor said, La GdS' inc
harm. On which he kissed the Governor
hand and went away.

No man can be sure of his nerves at all
times. We have, within our own personal
experience, known Of more cases than one
where men with ample professional training
have been in the jaws of death from no other
reason than this. One Of these men was an
architect. thoroughly used to walk about all
parts of houses in the course of constructions
who told us that he had once, when walking
along plank which joined two walls at great
height from the ground, felt sudden sense of
danger, upon which his senses left him, and
only returned after some seconds, when he
awake, so to speak, in the arms of one of his
masons, who had most fortunately seen his
state IN time to carry him across the plank at
the risk OF his own life. A second and more
curious case requires little previous explaAa-
ton. Some years ago the paintings on the in
side of the dome of St. Pauls wanted repair,
and 1t was c0ntrived in order to save the trou-
BILE and expense Of scaffolding built up from
the floor, that a sort of suspended scaffold
should be made, supported by the ledge, about
halt yard in width, Of the upper surface of
the cOrnice just below the DOME and hanging
by ropes which ran through holes in the upper
part OF the dome. A ship carpenter-an old
hand at such matterS-undertOOk the lob, and
began it by stepping out of small door at the
foot of the dome upon the ledge in question,
from which there was clear fall of two hun
dred feet to the pavement beneath. He walk
ed few steps along the ledge, and then, being
broad-shOuldered man, found that the inward
curve of the dome made him unable to stand
upright, and caused him to lean over danger
ously with an altered and unsteady centre oi
gravity. Seized all at once with an overpower.
ing sense of fear, he managed nevertheless to
turn his face to the dome and to rest, being once
more able to stand upright, till he had little
recovered his senses. Then, to his horror, be
found that he had forgotten on which side of
him the door was, or how far off it was, and
by trying to get to it by short sid long steps
took the wrong direction, and literally walked
in search of it round the whole base of the
dome, falling into the door at last, utterly pros
trated, and feeling, as he said ten years
Older" He made the scaffold afterward, and
used to tell the story of his fright while walk
ing about ON the ledge in the most unconcerneC

WE have never for a moment doubted the
permanent political supremacy of the white
race over the whole vast and fertile surface OF
our Southern States. The colored mans party
has lately gained success in some elections in
the South; but, while the white race has, on
its side, numbers, development, intelligence,
property and organic superiority, it is impossi
BILE for people far behind them in all these
points to retain, for any length of time, even a
show of dominancy. After the election of Gen.
Grant, and the settlement of all the affairs of
the Southern States we expect to see large
white emigration there. These emigrants will
care very little about the prejudices of the
Southern chivalry or their extravagant preten-
sions, or their political vagaries. They will in
troduce active industries among them, furnish
them with capital and skill, obtain possession
of their lands, get control of their State affairs.
and pay very little attention to their antiquated
protests. They will do just what has been done
in the Western States by the myrlads OF white
emigrants who have swarmed there In the last
tweaty years. And the South will become
strong and energetic, and free, and rich, and
attractive, and more sunny than ever.-N I.
Times.

A love of property is generally considered so
harmelesS in child that it is encouraged rather
than controlled. But surely it would be wiser,
as well as more in accordance with truth, to
bring up a child with the idea that almost all
which it enjoys is lent or given to it by others,
and that very little isreally its own. Out of that
little, not out of other people property should
come the gifts of the child the constant shar
ing with others of all which it most enjoys, not
being enforced as painful duty, but permitted
as a privilege, without which no good thing
would be either truly good or sweet.
There are parents vino cOnscientlOusv make
their children always pick off a little crumb
from their cake for the mother, the nurse, or
perhaps the elder sister, who has c0nSclentl-
ouSly received the crumb into their mouths
with many grimaces, indicating the immense
value and magnitude of the gift, while the lit
tie hero who has conferred this vast benefit sits
down with satisfaction and gobbles up his huge
slice of cake. This is considered to be making
the child generous; but alas! how little is this
generosity like that which will be required OF
him aitcrward, perhaps at some heart-render-
ing sacrifice, before he can be a truely gener-
Gus man.
| know Of nothing more likely to produce the
effect desired with regard to property than the
making of an equal distribution, wherever this
can be done. The child | think, should give
as much as he takes himself, just as we are re-
quired to do in after life by good manners and
good feeling. And here would be another use
tul lesson, that of teaching the child to share
the common lot without complaining, than
which there are few lessons more desirable to
be learned in early life, few more difficult to
learn for the first time in mature age.
