THE Lucknow Qndia) Times relates the
retributive romance OF certain gentleman
who came to that place, bringing with
him letters Of introduction to several peo-
pie in moderate circumstances, with whom
he lived, and, having represented himself
as gentleman of substance, being sole
owner and possessor of one lakh and fifty
thousand rupees, was treated with the ut
most Difference and courtesy, and further,
was permitted to gain the affections Of a
young lady whose only personal attraction
appeared to be profusion of valuable
jewelry which she constantly sported. The
young lady explained that her father was
an Extra Assistant Commissioner, station
ed at something less than thousand
miles from Ccnao, and possessing an estate
Of Unreasonable extent and incalculable
value, to which she was the heiress. A
match was very soon arranged, and the
young couple, as happy as wealth and
affection combined could make them,
were married, and left Lucknow on their
wedding tour few days ago. And here
the tale, to be happy one, should end
but, unfortunately, this is not the end OF
the tale. The gentleman took his
bride to Buxar, where it turned out
that he was engaged in the truly
uclcCtdU1c anu uISHly iCuhuHCi onVD PiV-
fession of fireman on the East India Rail-
way, drawing the munificent salary OF
forty rupees a month, and 1t was with
feelings of utterable anguish that he felt 1t
his duty to inform the lady that the lakh
and half of rupees were in the hands OF
another party who obstinately refused to
give up the money on the ground Of his
being the rightful owner of it. The bride
bore the disappointment with stoical
equanimity, and informed her husband,
with unfeigned regret, that similar diff
ficulty existed in regard TO her fathers
estate near Conao. The estate was there
all right, of course, but it was encountered
to such an extent that it YVES impossible to
get at. The nature of the incumbrance,
too, was extremely peculiar; an old zemin-
dar had another estate on top OF 1t, and he
obstinately refused to take 1t of. And
the whole of the valuable jcwelry, which
had proved SO excellent bait, had been
returned to the brides sister and the other
ladies from whom it had been borrowed
for the occasion. II is said that the pair
bear their common disappointment with
a good grace, and are as happy as can be
expected under the circumstances. III

What to Do with Old Books and News
papers.

Nor long since gentleman visiting a
charity hospital, remembering that he had
some illustrated papers in his pocket,
gave them to an old man who could not
read. He would have forgotten the cir
cumstance if he had not been reminded OF
it by one of the physicians of the institu-
ton whom he met afterwards "He has
not yet finished studying those pictures"
continued the doctor, after mentioning the
incident do you remember the dull,
vacant countenance of that man? You
would be surprised now at its spright-
illness, and when ] spoke to him OF the
change he said: %, Doctor! you can't
know what a JOY these papers have been
to me. ] have lain on this bed week after
week. have counted again and again
all the squares in this counterpane; can
shut my eyes and place my finger on any
particular figure in it. l know every
speck on the walls of my room. i can
tell just how many bricks in the wall Of
the opposite building can be counted
through my window, and have been SO
tired until got these papers,"
Is not such result worth the expendi-
ture of little trouble, a postage stamp
and q newspaper wrapper? Generous
hearted people often complain that they
can give nothing, because they have no
money to bestow; and yet there are SO
many tender charities that require very
little money, and sometimes none at all.
If travellers. would mail books and jour
nails to some charitable institution, instead
of leaving them scattered in cars and
hotels, the benefit conferred would be out
of all proportion to the small amount OF
trouble requisite. Stay-athome readers
can take their discarded books to some
poor unfortunate they may chance to know,
or send them to those who are interested
in public charities, that they may dispose
of them. And even many invalids (who
are generally great readers) will, doubtless,
be glad to learn that although apparently
able to do SO little for themselves or any
one else, they have this opportunity al
forded them of so greatly helping other
invaiids, more unfortunate than them
selves, to an enjoyment for which they
are too poor to pay. ti

tenth part of that piled up by Souphis.
But the hill has been hOney-combed with
chambers and galleries; and the declining
part to the south covered with vaults and
arches, to which Gheezeh can show no
parallel. No merely artificial structure
could have so successfully resisted the
resolute efforts of the two greatest mill
tary nations of the ancient world to de-
stroy its existence and obliterate its men,
ory. No other monument, long surviving
the era of Asiatic and Italian power, can
ever, like the noble Sanctuary, mark by
its very ruins, the successive periods of its
glory and its fall
If we regard not so much the evidence
of the labor devoted TO the work Of the
Temple as the effect produced on the
mind by its apparent magnitude, we may
suggest the following comparisons: the
length of the eastern wall ofthe Sanctuary
is rather more than double that of one
side of the great Pyramid. Its height,
from the foundation on the rock at the
south, and near the northern angles, was
nearly third of that of the Egyptian
structure. If to this great height of one
hundred and fifty-two feet of solid wall be
added the descent of one hundred and
fourteen feet to the bed of the Kedron,
and the further elevation of one hundred
and sixty feet attained by the pinnacle Of
the Temple porch, we have total height
Of four hundred and twenty-six feet, which
is only fifty nine feet less than that of the
Great Pyramid. The area of the face Of
the eastern wall is more than double that
of one side of the pyramid. Thus the
| magnitude of the noble Sanctuary of
| Jerusalem far exceeded that of any other
! temple in the world. Two amphitheatres
of the size of the Coliseum would have
stood within its colossal girdle, and left
room to spare. The Coliseum is said to
have seated eighty-seven thousand specta-
tors, and accommodated twenty-five
| thousand more in its arena and passages.
For such number to have been crammed
within its circle, the space for each per-
son must have been limited to seventeen
inches by twenty inches. Allowing two
cubits each way, or four square cubits for
each worshiper in the temple, the Sane
tuary would have contained thirty thous-
and; the Chel, excluding the Priests
Court, twenty thousand more, and there
would yet have been room in the Great
Court, and the cloisters TO make the total
reach to more then two hundred and ten
thousand-Edinburgh Reoteac.

was confined to the advertised s1,5OOOOO, was

THE FOREIGN MARKET.
The London quotations show a higher and nrmer
market for consOls this evening, as II prices had
been strengthened by the reported refusal OF the
Queen TO accept the resignation of Premier Glad
stone; but some OF the Improvement is doubtless
due to easier money in London, although there is
decrease OF 900 IN the weekly bullion &C
