A Cnrinns Custom.

It was tic custom of Babylon,
FIVE hundred years before the Chris
tian era, to have an annual auction
of tho unmarried ladies. In every
year, on a certain day, each district
assembled all its virgins of mar
riageable age. The most beautiful
were put up first, and the man who
paid the highest price gained pos
session Of her. The second-in per
sonal charms followed her, and so
on, so that the bidders might graft
fy themselves with wives according
to the length of their purses. There
might vet remain in Babylon some
for whom no money was offered,
but provident Babylonians manag-
ed that. When all the comely ones
are sold the crier orders the most
deformed one to stand up, and af-
ter demanding who will marry her
for a small sum, she is adjudged to
the one who is satisfied with the
least; and in this manner the mo-
ney raised from the sale of the
handsome serves as a portion to
those who are either of disagreea-
BILE looks, or have any other impe--
fection.

As was passing along the streets
Of New York few days ago, I saw
mother aad child walking before
me. The little one was just holding
by its mothers dress, and toddling
along without looking at all to see
where it was going. It did not
seem to care so long rs she could
keep hold Of q little bit Of its mo-
Tiers dress. All sorts OF people
were passing up and down the
crowded streets, but the child was
not afraid of any Of them. But o,
how soon it would have. cried if left
alone in the great city Of New York !
Just so when little children come
to jesus and with faith but 'touch
the hem Of His garment" they can
then say with the Pslamist, II viii
fear no evil, for Thou art with me.

FidelifK in Eiffle Thincs.

Great virtues are rare; the -oeca-
sions for them are very rare; and
when they do occur we are prepar-
ed for them; we are excited by the
grandeur Of the sacrifice; we are
supported either by the splendor of
the deed in the eyes of the world.
or by the self-complaceney that we
experience from the performance
of an uncommon action. Little
things are unforseen3 they return
every moment; they come in con-
tact with our pride, our Incidence,
our haughtiness, our readiness to
take offence; they contradict our
inclinatiDns perpetualiy. Itis, how
ever, only by fidelity in little things
that true constant love to God
can be. distinguished frona a passing
favor of spirit. on 4suE 81

t'It is a delicious moment GER
tainly, that of being well nestled in
bed, and feeling that you shall drop
gently to sleep. The good is to
.come-not past; the limbs have
been just tired enough to make the
remaining IN one posture delight
ful; the labor of the day is done.
a gentle failure of the perceptions
comes creeping over one; the spirit
of consciousness dissengages itself
more and more with slow and hush
ing degrees, like a mother detaeh-
ing her hand from that other sleep
ing child; the mind seems to have
balmy lid closing over it like the
eye-'tis closing-tis more closing
tits closed. The mysterious
spirit has gone q. take its airy
rounds.

VeleSpanl,ie Feat

The Richmond Dispatch has this
curious story Within a week or
two a singular achievement Of the
telegraph has occurred. A gentle
man suddenly became i'll Of pneu-
monia in Washington City. His
physician, a gentleman of great at
tainments and fame, resided in New
York, and he was anxious that this
physician should be consulted con
corning his case. A telegraph wire
was by his direction taken into his
room, and the New York doctor be-
ing summoned to the telegraph Of
fee there, the WasHiDgt6nl physi-
clan attending thepatient informed
him Of the state of the case, and
even senabled him to feet his pa
tient,s pstzse, by. causing the wire to
.vibrate as. the pulse did. The case
being thus thoroughly dia8nosed Ia
New York, the necessary prescrip-
.tions were sent thence to Washing
ton. The attack, Though violent,
soon yielded to the treatment, and
the patient is now a very cheerful
convalescent. This is the first case
of the kind We have heard of tits
quite an interesting feat. of telc-
graphing.

E


words: s'That man was born to
command He had the form Of a
Hercules, the head of an Apollo,
the eye of an eagle, and. rs circum-
stances afterBard demonstrated,
the heart of lion. Although not
so. very large, he appeared larger
than he really was. He was full
and athletic; and still every pro
portion was q symmetry and every
movement a grace.
while he was still leaning silent
iy on the capstan, and while I was
yet analyzmg his fine countenance,
the captain of the steamer, With
pale lips and blanched cheeks, ap-
preached the young Templar and
in a low and trembling voice said /:
"Great God! sir, we are sinkingl
We are snagged sir, in. the bottom,
and nothing can save us!
t'How long can you keep her
adOat?' carelessly inquired the
young Templar.
"She may go down in five min
utes, she cannot keep afoat more
than fifteen, replied he.
'Do not make your situation
known to any one except your crew,
or we will have a panic, and then
all will be lost. Signal the Lady
Gay to lean to; none will notice or
understand that signal of distress.
Get your crew and hands ready to
move and I will manage the rest"
BLOW! Warder, blow2 said the
young Templar, speaking to his en-
sign, who stood near him, and at
the same time leaping upon the
capstan.
Every one was startled by a shrill
blast from the Warderss ttumpet.244
A.hundred Templars' swords leaped
from their scabbards at the blast.-
Attention, Sir Knights" Shouted
the young commander; @the next
ceremony in tKeprogramne is for
the Sir Knights, ladies and gentle
men, on this boat, to make a visit to
our friends on board the Lady Gay.
As the steamers are rapidly APP,
preaching each other and cannot
be kept but a minute or two togeth-
er, the movement must be a rapid
one. You viii form in procession
at-once, and, as. the boats come to-
gether, pass over the gangway tr-
der an arch Of steele to the lower
deck of the Lady Gay. Forward,
Sir Knights to the gangway. Mu-
sic in front. The band will play
the knights TempIar Quickstep' !"
In obedience to the order, facing
around, with swords crossed above
the heads of those forming the pro
ccssion, the movement commenced.
In less than eight minutes the
whole precious cargo of human life
had passed from the Belle Of Alton
to the Lady Gay-even to the col
ored cook-except the two files of
Templars, when the young com
mander said:-
"From the rear, right and left, in
ward wheel, marchr' and fling in
ward, the Templars rapidly passed
over the gangway to the Lady Gay,
the young commandant being the
last to leave. One minute more and
the steamer Belle Of Alton sank to
the bottom.

All the reports by last mail from St. Domingo
have been confirmed this time. General Cabral was
surprised before Aqua by the troopsof Baez and de-
feated. At the same time General 7. Or
gand attacked snd drove back another party
OF Baezs forces. BY this mail we have dates to the

said to be shut up in the town ITSELF
General Luperon was defeated at Savanetre
and had to retreat. BY last accounts 1t is re-
ported that General Luperon had arranged
with another general to attack at the same
time. When he retreated by the south
side OF the town cannon was heard on the north
side; it was supposed that more fighting was going
on there but the result could not be known, and
nothing has been heard since.
Conversing with q merchant OF Puerto Plata, he
declared that the merchants, as q body In that
town, are in favor OF annexation. The revolution,
airy party here say that the town and people are
thorough against IT. and IN the event or its beng
carried through, Will call upon Luperon and hight
II TO the end.
