HE baltimore American. in reviewing a
new work, called The Students Scripture
History of the Old Testament, thus refers
to the Jews as a people:


A more wonderful nation thsn the jews
has never walked on the earth Their history
has been a constantly unfolding miracle
Cunously enough, for more than twenty
centuries they have been a people without
country. They have been by turns, slave
and ruler, prophet priest and king, outcast
often but beggar never, in every, quarter Of
the globe but this. Question tho Jew of his
descent, and he would declare that the best
blood of all the Howards would run muddy
IN his veins, and laugh TO scorn the boastful
claimant Of Norman ancestry. His fathers
created thrones and sat upon tlem more
than thousand years before England ceased
to be a wolf den. The ashes Of dead ma
liana lie ON agAr4- .r,afsa of his history He
has seen all the kingdom S Of the earth van
ish away like the shifting scenery of the
stage, while he alone has borne a charmed
life. And still greater events await this
mysterious people Christ declared that
the Jews shall be led away captive into all
nations and Jerusalem shall be urodden
down by the Gentiles until the time of the
Gentiles be fulfilled =


De- The Reading Dispatch says 4 gem
tleman who lives in the vicinity of DIr. ely
mers s residence up town, relates the follow
ing incident which, although private affair,
goes far to show the love he entertained for
the soldier during the war: In 1864 while
the militia was lying at Hawk S field, beyond
his residence, it happened one day that two
soldiers entered the yard of Senator Clymer's
house for the purpose of procuring water





orders to leave his premises before they had
received the desired element to Quench their
burning thirst. When we remember all the
rebuffs we have seen and heard given to sol
diers in the sunny South our mind fails to
hit upon one which would seem to bear the
same bitter malice towards the soldiers of
the Government, the men who perilied their
lives in their country service, that such
men as Clymer and his Copperhead kin
might stay at home and revel in the sweetest
and most bountiful Injuries. Soldiers, can
you vote for such a man as this? We feel
authorized to say no, never.


MANS Dirty TO WoNAN. Let him learn
to be grateful to women for this undoubted
achievement of her sex that It is she-she far
more he, and she too often in despite Of him
who has kept mercy and truth from being
utterly oyerborne by those greedy monsters,
money and war. Let him be grateful for this
that almost every great soul that has led for
ward or lifted up the race has beenfurnished
for each nobler deed, and inspired with each
patriotic and holy aspiration, By the retiring
fortitude of some Spartan; some Christian
mother Moses the deliverer of his Apeople

outwit the tyrannieal diplomacy Of man. Let
him eheerfully remember, that though the
sinewy sex achieves enterprise on publicthe-
atrts, it is the nerve and sensibility of the
otlfsr. that arm the mind and infame the
soul in secret. Everywhere a man executes
the performance, but woman trains the
man.
