THEY were husband and wife, and
as they stood before the Guards Mon
ument in Waterloo Place, she asked
whats that figure on top?"
"That's a goddess" he answered.
"And what's a goddessY"
"a woman who holds her tongue,
he replied.
She looked sideways at him, and
then began planning how to mahe a
peach pie with the stones in it for the
benefit of bis sore tooth.

/ GATHERING OF THE JEWS AT THE AN.
GENT CAPIrAL.-Moncnre D. Conway
writes as follows from London:
81 observe that the Jewish press in
America are disposed to question a
statement made by me concerning a
gathering of their race at Palestine.
Probably, however, they simply mean
to make my letter an occasion for adj
monishing their co-religionists against
superstitious reverence for Palestine.
However unpleasant it may be to the
liberal and freethinking Jews of
America, the fact which | have stated
concerning the tendency of their race
to gather in Palestine is unquestiona-
BILE.
The phenomenon has been sufficient
ly pronounced to call forth work by
the Rev. James Neil, B. A, some time
a clergyman at Jerusalem, which,
along with a good deal of ianaticism,
contains some interesting facts. The
work is entitled, Palestine Repeo-
pied; or, Scattered IsraePs Gathering.
A Sign of the Times" Mr.. Neil
shows that the population of Pales-
tine is double what it was ten years
ago, the new comers being Jews and
chiefly from Russia. Three years ago
such an Influx took place to Japhed,
one of the four cities in Galiless, that
there were no houses to receive them,
and many had to camp out. A plot of
ground near Jerusalem was sold for
twenty times its former price. Build
ing goes on by night as well as day.
Two little colonies have settled Just
outside Jaffa Gate.
The real causes of this migration
are, first, that only recently could a
Jew own land in Palestine without be-
coming Turkish subject, and. second
ly, the new law in Russia (l8T4) by
which all Jews must be enrolled for
service. 1t is probable that
Russia until now contained o. o..c-third
of the Jewish race; and just as they
begin to feel the pressure of those mil
itary demands upon them of Russia,
albeit these mean their relief from1
some previous burdens, they find the
old expressions of the Second Voc
Gas they used to call the Turkish rule
which sent them up in one wretched
quarter of Jerusalem) removed to a.
large extent.
1t is evident that a large proportion
OF the new emigrants to Palestine are
animated by religious enthusiasm.
This is shared by Christian enthusi-
asts, also, as is particularly the case
with a German colony there known as
the "Hoflmanites," their leader being
a DR.. Hoffman, but calling themselves
the Society of the Temple" They
are about thousand, mostly from
Wurtemberg, and have branches at
Jerusalem, Jaffa and Haiffa, where
they are industrious mechanics and
tradesmen, and greatly promote the
welfare of the country.-Journal of
Commerce.
THEY were husband and wife. and

EG0TISM.

| There is nothing that renders an in
dividual 50 disagreeable as egotism.
We very often come in contact with
persons whose whole thought and
study are of themselves, and who are
of the bigoted opinion that their ac-
tions should not only be sanctioned,
but be considered worthyof imitation.
There are persons whose entire con-
versation is of themselves; they speak
Of their personal abilities with much
emphasis, and in a manner that goes
to show they are we'll pleased with
their own qualifications and very anx-
ious to impress their auditors with
their superiority. Such people hum
BILE, instead of exalt, themselves in the
estimation of the community. W hat
can be more repulsive to our natures
than all arrogant and egotistical crea-
ture that looks on all human beings as
though they were inferior to him in
knowledge and goodness. When we
are so perfect in our own eyes we
never are appreciated by others As
general thing, we are blind to our
own infrmities and too ready to see
and ridicule the shortcomings of 9th.
ers, whose advantages perhaps have
been very limited in comparison with
our own. Selfcommendation greatly
lessons us in the estimation of our
fellow beings. If we are fortunate
enough to possess talent or other en-
viable qualities, we should be very
careful not to refer to them as though
we were proud of their possession.
1t is evident good qualifications will
speak louder for themselves than we
can speak for them. Many persons
think an autobiography which mar
rates the wonders they have performed
is exceedingly interesting to all, but
such is not the case Giving credit to 1
whom credit is due will never humble
US in the opinion of good and estima-
BILE people, but, on the contrary, will
increase their respect for us. Those
who are continually sounding their
own praises never win the esteem or
friendship of their hearers. q. L.

SENATOR NYE AND SrANroN-The
Virginia City, Nevada, Enterprise re-
lates the following anccdote of the
late Senator Nye:
Nye went to Secretary Stanton
once to make petition for some dead
soldiers orphans 1t was in the dark
est days of the. war. Stanton said:
Il have not time, Mr. Nye, to see to
what you want"
Suppose you take time, ] Mr.. -Secre.
tary," said Nye.
"You are unreasonable, Mr.. Nye, in
pressing such thing at this tine"
said Stanton.
Permit me to say that you are the
unreasonable man." answered Nye.
"If you were not a United States
Senator, | should say you were imper-
tinent, ,"said Stanton, haughtily.
"lf you were not a great Secretary
of War should be tempted to say
you are making a d fool of
yourself" replied the old Grey Eagle,
with his eyes blazing. Stanton looked
at him asmoment, and then softening,
said:
Maybe | am, Jim-who knows
come inside and tell me all about it."
"Now, Ned, my boy, you are grow
ing sensible" said Nye, and the busi-
ness was quickly settled.
