so completely under the influence of bis in
fatuation that he felt ready to terminate his
life if his hopes of winning Jennie for a wife
should be disappointed.
To trace the successive steps Of court
ship, and watch the gradual Development Of
the tender but master passion, is method OF
procedure agreeable alike to the author and
the reader OF the love story, but as this COM
position, notwithstanding the love il it, is less
4 love story than biographical sketch, and
as we can recall no precedent among the bio
graphcrs for L protracted dwelling upon the
incidents Of the hcros courtship, we trust
that we may have the readers pardon for
adopting a different line Of treatment. Be
sides, in this instance there are few steps to
trace, and almost all have been chron!cled
except the frequent visits of the ensuing two
weeks, which, though pregnant with interest
to the parties concerned, resulted in nothing
worthy of particular mci:on 70 the reader
And as for the gradual development Of a mll-
tual affection between our hero and heroine,
there was none to watch, for there ;y such a
thing as love at first sight, though it be a love
capable Of further augmentation; and it may
truly be said of Scrbb!eton and Jennie that
they saw, they loved. Jennie. it is true, did
not Immediately acknowledge to herself that
she loved, though Scribbleton did; bat the
Acknowledgement on Jcnnie's part was not
long in following. And hence when after the
intercourse Of these couple of weeks, Serb
bleton, about to return to his venerable wife,
and desiring to bring his suspense to an end
before his departure, penned the momentous
request for her hand in marriage, Jennie
took but few hours 70 consider before re-

BOARD Of Deputies.

Sir Moses Monteiiore, the venerable Jewish
baronet, has just signed the office of Presi-
dent of the Board Cf Deputies, a Jewish as
sembly, of which he has conducted the bust
nes. for many years past. The London Com
mittee of Deputies of British Jews is body
which guards zealously the interests of lsra-
elites both at home and abroad and its efforts
have been often exerted in defense of the
Jewish nations In rendering his resignation,
a course to which he refers with many ex-
pressions of regret, Sir Moses Montefiore
gives as reason his failing health and great
age, the venerable champion of Jewish rights
being now nearly 80 years old. During
long lifetime devoted to the benefit of his fel-
low-creatures in all parts of the inhabited
world in which the weak were prosecuted by
barbaric power, Sir Moses has earned for
himself the admiration and goodwill of all
men, whether Jews or Gcntilcs. In Jerusa-
lem, particularly, has Sir Moses lavished
much OF his health, time and money. and the
inhabitants of the Holy City, n fact. look
upon him as princely bene actor. The
Jewish BOardof Deputies will feel deeply the
loss they sustain in being deprived of the
leadership of Sir Moses Montefiore, for, al
though be very seldom attended the councils
of that body, from his lodge at Ramsgate he
directed its affairs, which were not always of
the most simple character.-London Daily
Nens.

CHAPTER XIII.

Scribbleton was prompt in keeping his ap-
pointment at the Simpsons. He was received
with gracious courtesy by Mr.. and Mrs.
Simpson, and with shy pleasure by Jennie
Howard; and the evening passed off agreea-
bly, to ali parties. Both the retired merchant
and his estimable wife formed u favorable
opinion of our author, for nothing occurred
to call out his idiosyncracies, and when they
were.k kept IN the background, Scribbleton was
a man to produce a favorable impression up
on any one. And Jennie, when Scribbleton
had taken his departure, and she had gone to
her room, was forced to acknowledge to her.
self that her first unaccountable interest in the
young author was considerably deepened.
The rocking chair, her favorite seat again
swayed gently in the dim light of the low
turned lamp as for long time previous to
retiring she wrought the delightful fancies
of young love; and when she went to bed
and fell asleep, Scribbleton mingled with her
last waking thoughts and passed on into the
sweet dreams that wreathed in smiles the pill
lowed face of the beautiful sleeper. AS for
Scribbleton, when he descended the steps of

Few of us ever st> , to think how CID the
Bible is. Yet ''the Scriptures are beleyed by
candid writers are believed by candid writer's
and critics to contain the most ancient forms
of truth now known to men," With the aid
of chronological tables, any one may easily
make profitable comparison between the an
tiquity of the book and that Of other writings
and events. The Scriptures contain the only
authentic history of the world before the flood.
We find in the Pentateuch one or two stanZas
of poetry composed in the antediluvian pc
Rod. The Hebrew statutes were enacted a
thousand years before Justinian reformed the
Roman jurisprudence. In the Bible we have
the record of the chartered rights secured TO
the people more than two thousand years be-
fore the Magma Charta. What a sensation
would be produced if the first chapter of
Genesis should appear for the first time in
one of the newspapers tomorrow. Yet there
can be no doubt that that chapter contains
the oldest writing, twenty-five hundred years
before the invention Of printing. Xenophon's
his Memorabilia, seems an o)A book to us,yet
six hundred years before The works of
Tacitus, Plutarch and Quintillian are not
modern: vet the books of the New Testament
are older than they. As to the Book of Job,
its age is beyond conjecture Those who
make it "a modern as they can are compelled
to place its origin at least one thousand years
before Homer. When Priam was King of
Troy, Job was of remote antiquity The
name of Alexander has no modern sound for
us, yet when Alexander invaded Syria the
book of Job might have been read before him
as the work of an author more time -honOred
than the name of Alexander is now. The
writings of Confucius are modern when CON-
pared with most of the Bible, and the most
that the Hindoos can justly claim for their
sacred books, the Vedas, is that they were
written five hundred years after the death of
Moses. The Koran is book fresh from the
press compared with the Holy Scriptures.
