ssBAFB IN NOTHE'S 4RMS AGAIN." Uszie Seldon was stolen from the sidewalk of ber home in Brooklyn, August 20, and was restored to her parents August 31. Stolen! A dear little child of four, Lured away frotn her lather's door. PlIashieI the tidings through cities three. Where, oh, whore could the darling be? Wno had stoopeal to a dastard's deed? Whero would the craven fobtsteps lead? With anger and pity we paled aud bitr-ned, And over the lost one all hearts yearned. Slow and silent came evening down, IBringing peace to country aund town; TAttle children in nurselles cl1in Sweetly lifted the evening h ymn; Little cherubs in robes of white Lowly knelt in the fading light; MIothers dropped on the shining hair Risses to finisll the good-nizht. praver. Where was Lizzio? Whose couch should iold The rifled lamb of a sheltered fold? Iraply in some darc h aunt of sin Where toils of evil Ih tempters spin; There-a teIT)r to <drive one wild There niight be tis innocent child. Hauply some vile atid poiuonous briow A fiend might press to her lips of dew; Curses might ring in tlie baby car Used to a father's caresses dear ; Ilows on the quivering flesli miglit in.11 The sternest well might. the thouglIt appall.

Vitality of the Jewsh Race. The members of the Jewish race have, p to the present period of history, pre. ented the most remarkable of all the italitis, an4 those of them who are inited to the other races by ties of >Iood, though not by any profession or eligio". indication, are hardly loss >rivileged. In England and Wales wO 3ornpute the number of professed Jews loes not exceed 50,000, som say not )ver 40,000; but in addition to these, if physiological readings be true, and I feetl sure they are, there is an enormous Christianized Jewish )opullation which, under exceed.ingly broad and Protestant principles, accept the Chritian faith with a tendency to Puritanic simlicity, and all but Judaic method, and in' which the names, the beliefs, the traditions of . the Jewislj people, as rendered in their sacred wr ings, find their repetitions. But I notice now, in regard to vitality, the most truly typical of the Sernitie type-those, namely, who profess and call themselves Jews-and it is they, I specially repeat, who show an excep tional tenacity to life, under circ um-1 .stances which at first sight wotihi seen to cause the utmost resistance to life. I havo investigated this matter vith the ! reatest care, and, not to troublo you by repeating in detail what I have LlreAlly Ipuiished, I, may state in brief terii that during all ages of life, under all e mdit ions of life to which it has bean subjeceed, tinder persections the imost p:Jni'u, uin(r suppression of liberty the m')st (leterininate, under residences in confinedl qu1arters of towns that were pactically prions, uinder isolationl the mIost pititmi, under contenpts the most 04nel, the Jew'is family ha maintained a vitality a'(l healh wii~heh is at once a m del t > the other familiei of mien Amnong Which it has been de.tine(. or I should rather have said permitted, to exist. The J[w.4 are not free from pro clivities to dikease of a Serious contitu tional kind. They are comparatively free from c )nsump'i-)n; they are very free from thes! zvmnotie (i-eases or pes t ilencen-i, smll -poK, m.as'es, scarlet fever, and such like, which c.trry of( so largely the childreni of other raos ; t hey are very free, that is to say, they have been very free, from the (iseases which spring from poverLy; and they are very free from the diseases which spri ng from idleness, ostentation, and luxury. 'The particular hereditary disease from which they stiffer is cancer. According to my experience they are more disposed to that malady than either Saxon or Celt, but it is not sufliciently wilespread to effect the general results of the tena c1ous life pertaining to them. For the benofits they have receivedl in t he wany of life and health the Jewish family has been indeb~lted to wise sanitary laws and regulations bequeathed to themn from of old, to thrift and provision for the mor row, to peacefulness of hear~it, to (domes tie virtue, and most of all to sobriety. It is hard to tell whether, when set free fromi every political an(d reigious 0)) pression, left to make their own c mlXo in open comifpetitioni with other people, receiving from their fathers the wealth of their past, wealth of wisdom, wvealt.h of simple homeliness, wealth of riches, weal b of vitality, they will retain and bank the same treasuires or take out and stjiandecr all.

Y lerald An Electrical Wonder. During Thursday night, Septembei 28, from about- eight till near ten o'clock, there wvas visible at Virginia City, Nov., a peculiar celestial pheniome non. '.This was in the shape of bright, white rays, proceed inrg from a point somiewhere below the horizon ini the northI, and spreading to t he southI and wesit like a fan. These rays did not stop) at the zenith, but extended (down to to the south and west. At the t ime,says the Enterpris:, the sky was per'fectlIy, dlear, and the spaces between the rays were of the (deepest. b)lue. 1Ilndreds of people1 on tihe Comnstock were watching Lhjis sti ange sight. At first not a few were inclined to think that a n1e coet, bhie most wonderful of them all, had ap peared. T1he rays were just as sharnly feineiid as is the tail of the p)resent corm 3t. Some were inclined to b)elieve what vos seen were rays from an aurora bomre dhis. Finally the majority conled hat the bars or rays were only a neculiar loud for-mation. A pleenhiarity of the dis lay wvas that the rays mnovedl slowly rom wecst to east, like the spokes of re olving wheel. In thus moving the rays rere uinbroiren, and the spaces of brigzht luie sky between them remained as well etinedl as at first. It was supposed1 that the phenomenon ras local, though nothing of the kind ad ever before been seen here. Now, owever, it aippeaLrs that tihe same ppearance was s een in places iln Cali rnia. As st reaks of cloud material or apor could not have been seen to such (istancee, it is evident that the uds must at an immense height, 'he Stockton Julependent of Friday hans lie following in regard1 to the strange pectacle: "A strange p)henomenon was biservabile last evening. Strejt(hin)a '01m cast to north,near the hloriz-m, was narrow cloud-like appearance, some iing like the aurora boreak. It moved pward, and1 still reached from hori mn to horizon. 'The phenomnenon lasterl b mit t hrec hours, and at 10 o'clock it isapp)earedl at the eastern and1 western rnizon. It was suggestive of a comnet's uL, bunt was probably due to electrical lises." ____________ -" Hannah," said a lady to her serv it..
