Since the time Of Daniel Drawing Il

Since the time Of Daniel Drawing the
den of lions, to which despotism had doom
ed him for his religion. and his three
friends fearleSsiy encouptcring the seven
fold cheated furnace. conscientious Jews
have ever been noted for their invincible
intrepidity and perseverance, though not
for similar demonstrations Of Divine IA
vor and protection. Ga late occasion
the Emperor Of r assja was reviewing his
feet. when two sailors particularly excl
ted his attention. both by the precision
with which they performed several diff
cult maueuJres, and by the agility and
daring which they displayed The Eal-
poror was 50 mucli pleased that he immc-
iiately promoted one TO be Captain
the ether he appointed Lieutenant on the
spot. The mea, however, we're jews.
and there is a ukase forbblliar Jews to
wear an epaulot. The admiral Of the
feet, who stood by, knowing that they
were Jews. stated the difficulty to his
Imperial Msest7. 'Pshaw, cried the
Emperor. THAT does not signify. in the
least-thcy shall immediately embrace
the Greek religion, Of course" When
this determination was communicated TO
the two young men. knowing that re-
monstranee or refusal would be in vain,
they requested the Enperor's permission
to exhibit siAemore of theie manmuvres,
as he f!aa notiacen al they could do
This being granted, they assembled the
topmass, embraced, and docket, in
each others arms. threw themselves into
the sea, and disappeared forever.

THE SroTs on THr Sr~.-On April
Sth. there was observed on the sun large
spot. which disappeared over the western
edge of the disc on April 2lst. This spot
observers state has reappcarcd. and may,
with the aid of small telescope, be seen
on the eastern edge Of the sun. 1t re-
sembles q fore. shortened clover leaf, an
appearance very different from that pre-
sented on April sth. In few days the
spots it is predicted, will be seen in the
centre of the suns disc, and will be visl-
bic to the naked eve. On May 18th, 1t
will probably disappear a second time,
passing out of view over the western edge
Of the disc. The period Of the rotation
Of the sun on is axis is % days s hours.
This fact was first ascertained by Calico,
and was the result Of his observations on
the disappearance of the spots. The time
required Tor a spot to pass from one cage
of the disc to the other depends upon It's
distance from the suns equator, TO winch
line its path is parallel The theory has
been announced that there is a connection
between the spots on the sun and the au-
rora borealis, and It is predicted that this
atmospheric phenomenon may be expect
ed, as upwards Of forty spots, large and
small are now visible.

TEA SWIMMERS -App'et'n's Iourn i
makes the following charge against Ger
tain New York tea houses:
Within = few years large number Of
tea companies have sprung up in the city,
which claim to import direct from China
to furnish 4 superior article at reduced
rates, and which advertise largely all
over the country. One street is fairly
lined for considerable distance with
them. We a-e assured by those claim
inc to know that several Of these tea cs-
Establishments are organized frauds upon
the people that they use the leaves of
the Camclia. which so closely resemble
genuine tea, that they arc frequently
mistaken for them by hotaniSts; that they
largely import and palm off upon purcha-
scrs Chinese ''lic tea :" tia. they use the
leavcssof ash, plum, and other trees. and
ming them with good tea and furth-
ermore. that they roarY and color gcnu-
inc tea leaves that have once boen used ,
or have been damaged by water, &c
There is one Of these companies which we
are told does nothing else but purchase
damaged cargoos or chests o. tea, and
then dries it on the roofs Of certain build
ines not a thousand miles from where we
are now sitting The drying process
having been completed. a small quantity
of superior article is added To the dam
aged in order to give flavor; and it is
then done up In packages for distribution
all over the country These who are ac-
customed to patronize these tea establish
mcnts would certainly do well to analyze
and test the quatty Of tho article which
is dispensed to them.
