The Wailing of the Jews i'm Jeru-
salem.

Inc jews IN Jerusalem have purchased
the right of the Turkish Government to
assemble every Friday afternoon near
one side of the Mosque of Omar, against
a supposed portion of their ancient Tenn
pie, and there lament and weep over
their fallen city and faded glories.
Men, women and children there as
semble, all coming with Bible in hand
and dressed in their best suit. The men
wear a kind of long dressing gowns,
made of broadcloth or merino, or calico,
of various colors, having the edges trim
med with fur. Their hair is cut short
behind the ears, but hangs in long curls
in front. The better class Of women are
clothed in a white loose dress and
shawl.
As they approach the place of weep
ing, they usually lean first, for a short
time, with their heads against the wall,
but soon begin toswing their bodies back
and forth, wringing their hands, while
a priest or patriarch leads off in reading
selections from the Prophets in the most
wailing tones.
AT certain periods all voices join in the
cry, tears run down their faces, and they
seem to be moved by the most agonizing
sorrow. Old men and men were there
with whitened locks and feeble steps, and
they bowed and wept in deepest grief.
Little children. too, were there, their
eyes moistened and voices trembling as
they joined in the heart-touching lam
entatons.
No looker-on can doubt but there is
sincerely in this service. The Jews feel
that Jehovah hears their cries and pray
ers, and according to prophecy will re-
store to them, after long seasons of bit
ter wailings, their lost glories, gather
ing together all the scattered children of
Israel, and henceforth permit them to
live and die in the Holy City, and be
buried among the graves of their fa-
theirs.
This practice is said to have continued
from the twelfth century, and perhaps
from an earlier period. By the Emper-
or Adrian the Jews were driven from
the city. During the reign of Constan-
tine they were allowed to approach only
near enough to see it; but at length they
succeeded in purchasing the privilege Of
entering Il once ycar % weep, and nc
present they are allowed this privilege
every Friday.

Poetry,
A GIRLS A Girl For A'That,

A GIRLS A Girl For A'That.
Is there a lady in the land
That boasts her rank and a that?
with scornful eye we pass her by,
:, And little care for a. that
For Natures charm shall bear the palm
girls girl for a. that.
What though her neck with jems she deck,
with tolly's gear and a that,
AND gaily ride in pomp and pride:
We can dispense with a. that.
An honest heart acts no such part
A girls girl for a. that.
The nobly born may proudly scorn
A lowly lass and a. that
A pretty face has far more grace
Than naughty looks and a. that
A bonnie maid needs no such aid
girls girl for a that.
Then let us trust that come ii must,
And sure it will for a. that.
when faith and love, all arts above.
shall reign spprcme and a. that.
And every youth confess the truth
girls girl for a that.

Mr.. GREELEY.-is said to be particular
to degree aboutthe spelling of the pro-
per names in his copy" In a leader
upon the Chamber of Commerce, he had
occasion to use the name of the we'll
known merchant, A. A. Low. He was
Mortified next morning at seeming it
printed in the Tribune A. L. Low.
Rushing up to the composing-room, he
sung out to the urbane foreman, Tom,
somebody is to be kicked. Who set this
up?" pointing to the obnoxious para
graph. The compositor of this special
+" take presented himself, manuscript in
hand. "The man who made this mis-
take is going to be Kicked" sang the
irate editor, snatching the copy and
glancing his eye over what he no doubt
honestly intended for letters, and read
ing A. L. Low, just as it wus printed, he
added slowly. handing back the manu-
script: Tom, please have somebody
come and kick me-"

r DEMAND FOR LANDS AND FARMs.--We
have recently received a number Of letters
from various persons wishing to migrate to
the Valley Of Virginia; and asking informa.
ton in order that they may carry out their
plans. There are numerous Real Estate
Agcnces who would do well to advertise more
extensively in order that information might
be gained in the Northern States. The fol-
lowing is fair specimen Of those received at

give information Of farms for rent? IF you
know Of any means, OF parties through whom
I could get information, would you be so
kind as to drop me a fewwords? Ny Broth

sire to so to your State this Summer so as to
be in time to put in crop of wheat in the
fall. If you know Of any parties having
such places, would you please furnish me
with their names in: order that ] might. cor
respond with them I am acquainted with
parties on James River, Charles City county,
having lived there about year. Brother
and I wish to get a farm on shares, the owner
furnishing stock and farming implements =
Quite number Of Jerseymeu would like to
come and live with your people; they only
need information and leader. They are
like Sheep, when one starts, they all go with
a rush, for times are very hard on Farmers
up in this State. Lands rent for ruinous
prices; it is almost like buying them to pay
the rent.

good Legislature. If we desire and wish
an honest execution OF the laws we must
choose wise and honest Governor. And
while this is, at all times, necessary, it is es-
pecially SO now. The new Legislature will
have to enact all laws necessary to put
the new government into operation. The
constitution is not sclf-enforcing, it requires
legislation to give effect to it. The new
Governor will be clothed with the veto pow
er to check hasty and improyident legislation.
Need I say any thing to show to the people
the necessity Of making wise selection Of
those who are to WELD powers fraught with
SO much Of veal or woe tothe State?
Very truly yours, &C. ~

A JUVENILE RoMANcE.-T children
who work in one of the Chicopee factories,
Eli Goodro, fifteen years old, and Louisea
Stebbins, fourteen, fell downright into love
so deep that they determined, with an utter
contempt Of consequences, to go and get mar
ried, as grown folks do.
Chicopee clerks and clergy very sternly and
sensibly refused to grant marriage certificate
or ceremony, whereupon the decided youth
came to this city and obtained both.
The Palmer Journal says the civil sanction
was obtained from the city clerk, and the re-
ligious from the Rev. DR. Ide. At all events,
they were successful in their visit, and start
ed for Thorndike, there to spend the honey
moon until Louisa's parents should forgive
them. They got as far as Palmer on Wed
nesday evening. and spent the night in the
depot certainly very elegant bridal cham
Der. But on Thursday morning the parental
Stebbinscs bore down upon them. ere the
Throndikc craft hove in sight, and captured
the outward bound adventures. They want
ed to separate the bold babies, but though
| Louisea, disheartened by the meagrc outset
of the voyage, was willing to haul off, Eli
| remarked defantly that they had been and
gone and done it. and what did they mean to
do about it Impressed by his view of the
case, and by the advice of a Palmer justice to
make the best Of it, the parents relented, and
conveyed the precious pair home, triumph
antly happy. But we shouldn't like to have
the responsibility of sanctioning this absurd
transaction Springfield Republican.
TERRIBLE KEROSENE ACCIDENT "A
WHOLE FAMILY BuRNED.-A terrible kero-
sene accident, caused by the explosion Of a
lamp, occurred last evening at No. 131
Meadow street, Hoboken. A family consist
ing of three persons were burned. The
son has since died Of his injuries, while the
mother is fatally wounded The father es-
capped with only a few slight burns.
1t seems that William Haese, German
mechanic, was detained at his labor until a
late hour the wife waiting tea for her hus-
bands return Haese came home shortly
after 9 o'clock, when the family, consisting of
himself, his wife Emily, and their son Gus
tave, lad Of eight years, sat down to the ia
| bic. sa as
In some way, while reaching across the
| table for plate, the boy overturned the
lamp, which broke. The oil exploded in
stantly, the blazing fluid scattering itself
over the persons Of all three, and, setting fire
to their clothing, burned them horribly
Their screams attracted the attention of the
other inmates Of the house, who rushed into
the room and finally succeeded in extinguish-
ing the flames. @
The sufferers were removed to ST. Mary S
Hospital, where they were attended by DR..
R. r. Chabert, who did all in his power to
alleviate their sufferings, but without avail
| in the case Of the boy Gustave, who died
this morning. TIE mother, Emily, is also
fatally burned, and will probably die before
night. The father is only slightly burned
and will recover eso York Post, Friday.
