The Jews as Merchants and Money.
Lenders.

A6uuBEbs
From Harpes's MagazIne for June.l
In one instance only have the Jews
consented to change their habits Of life,
and in that we discover anew the marks
oftheir perpetual suffering. From active
aud successful husbandmen and tillers OF
the soil they have been transformed into
merchants and money.lenders. They
seem 10 have wholly lost that love for
nature and that agricultural skill that
made Palestine land Of plenty. In
Babylonia and Persia, under compare
lively gentle rule, they were rather
farmers than traders, Even late in the
Roman period, and probably until near
the sixth century, they were chiefly an
agricultural people. The Talmud abouuds
In illusions to the cultivation Of fields and
gardens, Of oil, wine, end wheat, fruit and
flowers. Its nice and varied rules Of con.
duct relate chiefly to the people oil rural
districts rather than Of cities. When the
great schools Of Babylon and Pumbeditha
We're tlOurishlug, and the vivid intellect
Of the 1sraelites was expanding into a
literature oEcommentators and professors,
the race was marked by an intense love
Tor the Oriental lands they cultivated.
But when the universal persecution Fall
upon them, when they were hunted
from Bahylonia and Persia, and began
that remarkable series Of wanderings
from city TO city, and from realm
TO realm, that has lasted for more
than thousand years, the manners Of the
race changed. They became nation of
traders. Industry, thrift, learning, and
rare acuteness they never lost, but they
were never again to become peaceful
ttllers oil the soil. They were forced to
snatch opportunities OF gain from the
midst Of their wanderings. They became
the most acute and untiring oil traders
Their wares and profits were such as
could DO most easily handled and secured.
They supplied the barbarous princes oil
Germany with the most costly drugs and
spices Of the East, They dealt in Jewels
that they could easily conceal or swallow,
and In Oriental cloths that were Of price.
less value. They were the most active
slave'traders Of the Middle Ages, and The
Uhurch vainly heaped its mAledictions on
The Jew who should dare to purchase
Christian slaves. Their capital Ia money
probably grew from age 10 ago. They
were tho common money lenders Of the
early period. The Jews seemed 10 have
concentrated the wealth OF the Middle
Ages among themselves; They lent their
money at an enormous interest and upon
ample security; they accumulated i'm
mense fortunes, which they were Obliged
TO hide from their prosecutors in an as
pect otextreme poverty, But their home
was never again 10 DO amidst tho soft
landscapes Of Babylonia and Persia; and
crowded together 10 miserable Ghetto,

From the N. Y. Tribune
Under the title Of "An Atheists Fun
eral," the london Sun publishes an ac-
count Of the burial Of Mr.. Austin Holy.
oakc. who died in the full faith Of mega.
ton, and passed his last hours in drawing
up an assertion Of his continued disbelief
in the existence of God. It Is an aston.
ishingly calm and sturdy statement, and
referring to his own terrible sutFsripes
and the tendency Of most skeptics 10 re-
nounce their unbelief at the approach OF
death, he says "lhey who under pain say
they see the error OF their previous belIef
had never thought out the problem for
themselves" Funeral orations were pro.
nounced over his grave by Messrs, Watts
and Bradlaugh. Both shfank instinct.
lively from the assertion Of their own
gloomy beliefs, and could not, over the
grave Of their siriend, give utterance to
their conviction that he was nothing but
dust. Even on his tombstone there was
an inscription under which the most dc.
voted Christian might rest, and before
which his loving friends might kneel
in joyful trust, I'm Memoriam. Gone

w. X. Estill, of Colusa, gives the
results of an experiment in dry plow-
ing, In the fall of 1871, portions of a
field were plowed dry andsowed before
the rains commenced, and the remain
der of the land was plowed and sowed
early after the commencement of the
rains. That season there was no per-
ceptible difference in the crop-all be-
ing good, yielding forty bushels OF
wheat to the acre. The next year 1t
was all plowed and sowed after the
commencement Of the rains. On the
portion dry plowed in 1871, twenty
bushels to the acre were harvested,
while on the other there was not
enough to pay for harvesting-in fact
q total failure. Have any of our other
famers such an experience

There came a man TO spy our land.
His name was Doctor Draper
: score of cottages he planned,
and built them all on paper.
\ wondrous tale ho did unfold
A history romantic--
He came from Jerseys Kingdom bold,
Beside the blue Atlantic.
He was a most delightful cuss,
With fingers white and taper;
How could he go and leave them thus
O! cruel Doctor Draper
lie longed to view our matchless Queen,
Whose gleries beatific,
In dreams he saW-and at COrinne.
Upon the L. Pacific.
He found stranger deathly i'll.
With not IL friend, or henchman;
He rendered him his little pill,
And saved the lucklesS Frenchman.
And when his time had come to go,
This gentleman from Paris,
His ducats left to him-and'lo!
He was an heir-or heir-ass.
With sue adventures thus beguiled
His restless sOnl's disquiet;
He came-he saw our town, and smiled;
Was pleased, and thought he'd buy il.
And fragrant mild Havana;
And sparkling wine, and balmy hours.
Fell on his heart like mama.
And then he burst, as bards of old,
Burst forth in song and Story
And sang unto his harp of gold
X song of praise and glory. EAtt ~.
~ long to be an Angel. HH
And with the Angels staud, 5a .lF
Upon the pleasant street of Main,
And own block OF land"
He was so pleased he couldn't walt
He flmbled in his pocket;
The wise men smelt, and real estate
Won't upward like a rocket.
IIiswords.were sweet, his ways were French,
Ills castles--all were spanish;
Their glOries made our vision blanch,
Alas! why did they vanish,
He vanished likethe birds in fail,
And left no sign or proctor;
'.COme back, come back % we vainly call,
.'OurDoctor, o! our Doctor"
And now we wave our willow wand,
And dance about, and caper,
Like Dido ON the wild sea sand,
, And call for Doctor Draper.
At dewy eve, and rosy dawn,
We stand beside the water,
And wiring our hands, and carry on"
Like Ulln for his d;tu ghter.
And now we mourn DER blasted hopes,
And little bits of paper;
And dry our tears with kitchen m'ps-
