Old Time* There's a beautiful song on (he slumbrous slr, That drifts throrgh thc valloy of dreams; It comes from a dim? where the roses wero, And a tuneful heart and bright brown hair That waved in he norning beams. Soft eves of nzure nnd eyes of brown, And snow-white forehead* aro there ; A glimmering Croes and glittering Crown, A thorny bod ando couch of down, Lout hopes nhl lcallcts of piny eh A breath o Spring in the breezy woods, Sweet wafts from thc quivering pines; blue Violet eyes benenth green hoods, A bubble of brooklets, ii scent of buds, Bird warblers and clambering Tines. A rosy wreath and a dimpled band, A ring nnd a slighted vow Three golden links of a broken bnnd, A tiny track on the snow white sand, A tear and n sinless brow. There's a tincture of prief in thc beautiful song, That MIh?? on tho shuntm tis air ; And lotielineM felt in thc festive throng. Sinks down on thc soul ne it trembles ulong ?

TUE HIP VAX WINKiiB OF TUB TALMUD. Thc story of the Rabbi Coniali lins been reproduced for tho Jewish Messenger, t.nd is chiefly remarkable for its resemblance in one or two particulars to thc world-ronown story of Rip Van Winkle, which Washington Ir Ving gave to the world, mid which has been revived in tho drama by Mr. Joseph Joffer son. Tho Bobbi was learned above his peers, ?nfl nmiiti tiiVAronitftil him frtt-.Kiu wi^il/un ... .1 erudijion. But he perceived not tho ncecssi ty of that ohnrity ?nd forethought which should indilc? individuals to make provision for those coming lifter them, and therefore he received thc stern lesson. An old man was planting n carob tree, and displayed u heartiness which seemed to indi cate that he expected to enjoy tho rosulis I of his labor. Cntliuh regarded him .with as toiiishmcnt und u certain dojrree of contempt, for it is a tradition of tho Tal mud that ti carob {rec does obi bear fruit UH seventy years after it lina been planted. '.Do you expect to eat of thc fruit of this tree t*" thc Rabbi asked, with a shrug of dis dain. "Rabbi," answered thc old mun meekly, but with dignity, "when I was a little child this field abounded with carob trees laden with fruit. My fathers had planted them for nie; 1 plant, this tree for my children." Cutiiah turned uway murmuring: ''For his children. Blind, how blind we aro.

Full of anxiety, ho directed his footstep toward tho city whore he had dwelt. Hut hf soon paused in sad bewilderment. Thc ck} path Was pone, and tho familiar trees and landmarks Ind disappeared. Thc houses had put on an unfami liar appearance. Everything around him Was strange nod now. At length ho discovered tho way, and lio cimo to tho city. A multitude swarmed in the streets.

Hitter ?ns thc anguish of that hour. A faint hope only remained to mitigate the LitMCcncss of his despair. '.No more," said he to himself, "n? more have I friends and acquaintances. Hut my f tinily yet remains to mc. With thom I may yet find a home, and consolation, and poaco/' With throbbing heart ho- hastened to thc house where he had dwelt. Hutas ho went not recognize his home, neither tho walls nor the roof. Everything was new.

The moment that Coniih Was perceived ?ll were still, and re garded him with apprehension nnd looki'ol suspicion. Addressing himself to thc man, he said : "Call for hie thc son of Coolah." '.Tho son of Coniuh !" exclaimed tho raab in astonishment; "ho has long sinco Sjlpl with his fathers. n ., arc you, ,r . "J an tho grandsou of Cootah. Overjoyed, Coniah extended his arms t' embrace him, exclaiming : "I nm yourgraud father !" Hut thc grandson eluded his caresses, une replied, with ^mut astonishment: "You my grandfather ? No!

They ri membered the name of Coniah, tho grot rabbi, but when hcattemped to make bimse known they repulsed him angrily, saying: "You ure imposing upon us. Coniah lu been dead for many, many years.
