A Beautiful Extract,

II ~as night, Jerusalem slept as
quietly Autid lIer hills as child
up0n aiae breast of it's mother. The
uoiselesa sentinel stood like statue
at his post, and the philosophers
lamp barned dilnly In the recees Of
his chamber. But a moral dark
nsse involved the nations in its or.
hghtcned shadows. Reasons shed
y faint Glimrncrin9 over the minds
of men like the cold and insufficient
shining OF q distant star. The i'm
mortality OF mans spiritual nature
~as nDknown, his relations into
heaven undiscovered, and his future
destiny obsctired in cloud OF mss-
terry. It was at this period that two
forms of ethereal mould lowered
about tho land of Gods choeeu
people. ,,Tlcg seemed like sisttr
angels, set to cart obscene embassy
Of lose. Tue one of majestic stsfnra

snowy drapery hardly concealed, iii
her erect bearing. and steady eye,
exhibited in the highest degree OF
strength and confidence. Her right

gesture npward where night ap-
peared to have placed her darkest

her delicats companion, in forra

m"istcned by refreshing dcws, and
her bright bat troubled eyes scanned
with the arrient bat troubled CLAN
ces. Suddenly light like the sun
flashed out from the heavens, and
Faith and Hope hailed with exnlt-
ing songs the ascending star Of
9ethleheius Years rolled away, and
the stranger was seen in JcrusaletH.
He was a meek assuming man,
whose happiness seemed to consist
in acts Of bcnevolence to the human
race. There were deep traces Of
sorrow on his counanre, though no
ono knew why he grieved, tor he
believed in tho practice Of ercry

Miss Emma Bartlett, one OF the
most remarkable Of American women,
has Just died in this city. Twenty-Five
years ago she came 10 America a pen.
niiess English girl, and she has since,
by her own usaided exertions, amassed
large fortune. Over twenty years
ago she set mp for herself in the trade
Of harness-making and saddlery, start
ing with Just enough money to buy
leather FOR a few halters. She worked
in little loft on Pearl street, and sold
her manufactures around the city.
Her commercial abilities we're marked,
and il Gas not long before she employ
ed several iourneymen. and she soon
extended her trade beyond the city.
She finally travelled with samples of
her wares, and, in course oftime, visited
every State in the Union, and gradual
" built up a large trade. Six years
after she started, her business had out
grown the loft and tilled large build
ing on Pearl street. She invented
some machinery for harness-makiDg,
was the frat 10 use the sewing machine
for sewing leather, aud bought up all
the patnets on horse-bonnets, thereby
securing a monopoly. She was very di.
minutive in stature, but was very mas
culine, full Of energy and business tai
ept. and could drive a sharp bargain
with the sharpest. She has never had
nor dsired business partner. For years
she has occupied the whole side OF a

and has employed loo workmen. Her
rent. for the past seven years, has been

oliver Cron well.

Among many curious anecdotes
which Whitelock relates respecting
Cromwell, the following is not one Of
the least characteristic: Oliver, II was
we'll known, appeared to favor fantas-
tics Of that day, but he did not like TO
be taken liberties with. There was,
saws Whitelock,, "a secret expedition
about to sail, and one Of those fantas-
tic preachers waited upon Oliver and
wished an audience, which was grant
ed, aud when before Oliver he stated
that the Lord wished TO know where
the secret expedition was going. OH.
YER answered.: The Lord shall know,
and thee shall go with it," and he rang
the bell and ordered him on board the
fleet. Being afraid Of cabals from the
expelled family, he thought It danger
Gus TO permit persous, particularly no.
blemen, TO leave the kingdom without
leave. A young nobleman in the inter
est Of Charles III. came 10 pay his re-
spects TO the protector, and solicit
leave Of absence from the country.
Cromwell Immediately granted the re-
quest, but said: Let me see you again
but don't see Charles Stuart. Il will
not, upon my honor, replied the peer.
The nohleman soon returned, and COM
ing to pay his duty TO the protector.
Cromwell snatched his hat ont of his
hands, aud with penknife he cut op-
en- the Inning. and from the inside took
ont several letters and papers directed
to the friends OF Charles. 20, shame,
cried Oliver, is this the way the Eng
lish mobiles keep their honor? Did you
not promise not 10 see Charles Stuari?'
Il did not see him, answered the no.
bleman. Then, said Cromwell, who
put out the candle, you or Charles?'
Oliver had cunningly contrived TO put
a spy Of his own into the peers service,
who discovered that at the interview
the king first put out the lights.
