CHAPTER VI.
The"lide home was, if possible, more unpleasant
than the ride out had been. - He
seemed perfectly careless abont concealing
his sentiment, although careful to generalize
his impertinenoe in such a manner as
made it impossible to be offended at the
individual bearing. His belief of the untruthfulness
of women, and his donbts of all
moral rectitude, she answered at first warmly
and indignantly; then as he became more

and finally would not answer his sneering
mockeries at all. TVTien they reached their
hotel, she looked hurriedly around for Mr.
Merton; he was not to be seen, and she waB
obliged to accept the assistance of Leslie in
descending. ~ He choose to throw into hre
manner as much empre68ment as the occasion
would permit, sod did not relinquish
her hand until he had drawn it through his j
arm, and rested it there. She hastily with-1
drew it, and again looked up for her unole,
as she rapidly walked towards the house.? ,
She saw him, and?could it be ? yes, it was
her husband! And he saw her?was looking
at her, and yet stood with folded arms, calmly
conversing. Leslie had seen him too;
she oonld not doubt it, for there was a fiendish
smile upon his lip as he said,
"It is as I told you?you have scarcely
been missed. Better aocept my eseort; they
seem in no hurry to greet you." She would
not notice him though he kept by her side,
bat ran hastily up the steps, and with a flushed
face, and sparkling eyes advanced towards
them. The cold "well Clara," fell
like an ice holt upon her heart, her hand was
scarcely taken before relinquished, and every
vestige of color fading from her face she
turned towards her uncle?
"Why Clara I thought this would be a
happy surprise for you," said Mr. Merton,
"hut you look much more as if you had had
a fright."
"A fright!" said Leslie, who had been
presented to Manvers, "I assure you I have
never seen Mrs. Manvers so gay, so full of
life as she has been to day, and you might
have yourself remarked the brilliant color
she had but a few moments ago! Oh, no, 1
assure you my horses, though spirited, are
perfectly gentle, and I'll leave it to Mrs.
Manvers if she had the least cause for concern.
'Tis true she did seem surprised at
seeing you here, sir; perhaps it has been
too much for her." and he smiled in deris
ion
Poor Clara ! her face was crimson enough
now, but bowing coldly and saying,
"I had no cause for fright, but I feel
weary and will go to my room."
She passed quickly on.
Por a few moments Leslie stood recounting
in his happiest manner, the pleasures of
the day. "Mrs. Manvers gaiety, her happy
freedom, her brilliant repartee, her engaging
manners, her enjoyment of the ride, and
their leisure drive, were all hinted at in the
most unconscious way imaginable ; then hoping
"she would not suffer seriously from
the surprise" bowed himself away.
"Who is that man ?" said Manvers curtly.
"Leslie, Harry Leslie," replied Mr. Merton,
"one of our gayest gallants. He is the
pet of the season; his manners are even
more fascinating than his exterior, and I
fancy you seldom see a more handsome face,
or a more graceful form."
"Do you know him intimately?is he much
with your party?" "Well, yes, he admires
Clara very much, and has lately been much
with us j but I cannot say I know "him. I
do not think he is much of a favorite with
his own sex, and somehow, to tell the truth,
I never thought the man honest."
"Honest! In what way?"
"In principle. He talks beautifully of
morality, of duty, and even of religion, but
it all has the appearance of parade?thoughts
dressed up for the occasion, a kind of holiday
garb: indeed, I know, he can be lewd
and profane enough when it serves his turn."
"And you trusted Clara with him ?" said
Manvera sternly.
"Indeed I did not wish to do it" said the
old man, "and I was rather surprised at
Clara's desire to accompany him. I wish
she had not requested it, for I fear it has
done her no good; the child did not look
well," and he looked uneasily at Manvers
who was standing with knitted brow, looking
gloomily into vacancy.
"Will you go for her; she will be expect
ing you to conduct her to the parlor ?" said
Mr. Merton after waiting in vain for some
indication of moving from his statue like
companion. A . r;
"No, I will meet ber there/' said Manvers
without stiring. ? ; - ;
"Humph, humph, humph!" muttered the
old man, "here's a trouble?every body to
blame and nobody in fault; what's to be
done !" and he'went sadly of for Clara. . j
About an hour after, Edward Man vers entered
the parlor; he could not see Clara/
and took his stand in the embrasure of a
window to await her entrance. Soon after,
a party of young men sauntered near. They
were in an animated discussion on some topic
of interest. "I tell you, Dudley, I saw
the ring on his'finger and he told me she
gave itjo him/*
"And 1 tell you I know thewhole history
of it, and he's a scoundrel if he said so."
"But how came he by it then, for it is
her's, I read the name inside, 'Clara.'" ;
"Her husband is a fool to let a wife so
yonng and pretty leave him. Serves him
rtolit fnr not. tnkinc better care of her." in
o r /
tempted one- .*" - d^v x \
"Oh ! I hear he is upwards of forty and
as stern as a judge j so of course she was
glad enough to get away," said another.
"Look at Leslie now, no lover could be
more devoted. To do her justice though, she,
seems cold enough; ain't they a handsome
couple?" &nd the party moved ou. From
his embrasure Manvers looked out. Clara
was sitting, looking paler and sadder than
was usual to her. Her dress was almost
puritan in its modesty, compared with those
around her, and her dark haii^ without ornament,
was simply wound a/ound her beautiful
head. Leslie was bending over her with a
manner of the most entire engrossement. Her
cheek was deeply flushed. There weTe whispered
words and Clara's eyes looked away,
away, as if looking for what is lost. Then
her manner grew cold and distant, aud he
saw her lip quivering as a low mocking laugh
reached his ears?then she was hid from
view by the passing crowd. She was now
surrounded by the bevy of young men, who
had been a short time before discussing the
two. - ... : I
"How was it, Mrs. Manvers," said one,

drive you out ?"
"You don't suppose Mrs. Manvers will reply
to such au impertinence?" said Leslie, (
before she could answer.- Without
notioing him, she said with emphasis?"Simply
because it was not optional
with me; rest assured it was not my choice."
"There did I not tell you Mrs. Manver6
would not satisfy you?" replied Leslie, with
an affected laugh.
"I am much better satisfied than I think
you are," said the gentleman bluntly with
whom Leslie and his self-assurance was no
favorite.
"I wa3 not aware that my power was so
potent as to coerce those whose will does not
bow to my inclination, simply by the virtue
of a touch. Will you testify that that was
the extent of force used ?" said he bowing 1
mockingly.
"Truth lies in a well, but alas ! some person's
lines are not long enough to fathom
it; you are particularly ingenious in its evasion,"
said she calmly.
? - %. %?% * .1 1* ' 1 il _4
His vanity could in Droox tne laugn mat
was turned against him, and determined to
mortify her he replied,
"All is faiir in love and war. I have a
talisman that guards me," and he affected
to be absorbed in the study of his ring.
Clara marked the action, and also the sly
and smiling looks of his companions.
"I have no more power to force from you
a trifle that belonged to me in childhood
than I have the power to teach you truth
and honor. You call it a talisman and
claim it as mine. Keep it to remind you the
owner would scorn if she did not so much
despise one who is so utterly destitute of
every principle that refines and exalts human
nature.".
She arose as she spoke, and although her
face was very pale, the quiet dignity of her
manner was undisturbed, and served to
silence and impress the group far more^than
the most impassioned outbreak. For an
instant Leslie was silenced, then with a look j
of bitter hate said,
"Lovely Pallas ! your delicate modest
rebuke, administered with such courtesy,
have charmed me back to truth and honor,
and while the one compels me to see and
mourn every beauty and grace, but Love,
the dearest and best, wedded to age, per1

the fortitude that can bear and the
courage that can deny. Exception to a sex
frail indeed, but dearer for that frailness, I
do not envy your loveless and unloved life!"
He expected her to be angry?he would
rather have preferred some passionate outbreak.
Had she stormed he would have
coaxed; had she wept he would have pitied;
had she spoken in scorn and contempt, his
coolness and polished wit would have been
more than a match for her; but she did none
of these?turning upon him a countenance
full of laughter she merrily said,
"Beau Brummel in despair! a Chesterfield
in agony, the pet of tailors, the caressed
of ladies' parlors in trouble ! ready to
weep for very anguish that he's not the cynosure
of all eyes. Cruel fate, to bring such
a disappointment! But yonder stands nay
aged and infirm lord; fortunately his ambition
leads him not in Buch fields, therefore,
you need fear neither rival nor competition.
It may be your complaints will move his
pity, and if a Hercules could sympathise
with the Sybarite whose rose leaf has been
crumpled, you would perhaps meet with his
commiseration. But I cannot vouch for it;
natures so antagonistic could scarcely find
a spot of union?the one so lofty in his integrity,
the other?as he appears to us, Mr.
Leslie/' she concluded with her usual manner
of quiet dignity, and graoefully bending
her head moved away before he could
reply.
CHAPTER 58!
, - "You have a charming place here, Manvers;
I don't wonder you dislike leaving it.
Whose taste planned that wilderness garden i
Some one has been studying the science of
magnificent distances; one would' fancy he
roamed in some vast park, yon have so well
contrived to blend art with nature."
"Clara planned, I executed/'
"Ah! T see her enthusiasm and fancy
moderated by yonr practical judgment.?
She wonld have made a pretty picture in
the arrangement. Yon have disposed it to
the use and enjoyment of real life."
"Well, I believe I advocated the growth
of onr native forest trees, and the fish pond
-and aquarium are mine; the rest are hers:"
"Quite a desideratum in landscape gardening?wood
and Water, and those beautiful
varieties of Agaleas, and that splendid rhododendron
form a lovely margin."
"That was her fancy; the garden broken
by detached groups of shrubbery, the rock,
work and fountains, and that wilderness of
roses which yon so admired, are all her own."
"Indeed ! she has been most happy in the
design, and you have equalled her . in *he
execution. It is a spot of perfect beauty, a
poetical Aiden."
"And here is an aviary, Randolph, and
without cats," said Manvers, laughing.
"Ah !" replied Randolph glancing up
quickly "are you such an anomaly as to profit
by precept, what so few men learn by ex|
perience ?"
"I cannot claim to more wisdom than ir>y
sex before mo. As usual, the lesson was adI
ministered with the rod."
I "And <as usual/, the innocent suffered, I
j presume?' replied Randolph, gruffly.
I ,.rr a?i ? >> i;?j
"IU MIUJC CAW;UI, jtn, repiicu mau vcioj
gravely.. c.f. . ; ? .
"Humph.J" said Randolph bitterly, "and
I suppose you wrapped yourself in iienatorinl
dignity and allowed the rod of your so-called
justice to fall upon one whose only fault was
wedding a stoic."
"I forgive you that," said 11 an vers, smiling,
"for your love and care for Clara; but
you are unjust?I bore the punishment myself."
"How? You did not meet Leslie?" "No,
I was spared that. How, I will tell
you. Your hints and innuendoes had such
an effect upon me, that I determined to see
for myself. I went to Saratoga and saw and
heard what well nigh maddened me. That
Clara was innocent I never for a moment
doubted, but that she should be exposed to
such fascinations and not bate her fanoy, to
say the least cf it, led captive, I very much
feared."
"Pish 1" said Randolph impatiently, "and
Edward Man vers her husband. When snch a
nature as hers can prefer darkne89 to light,
error to truth, then I would have feared. 1
feared nothing for her but a wound to her
own sensitive nature, and to your own jealous
pride, which I knew was indomitable."
"You read her aright, but tortured by
thoughts I dared not analyse, I fled from the
gay and crowdechbatl-room, where assurance
had been made doubly sure, and sought the
quiet and darkness of jiigbt. I had been
there but a short time when a gay party came
up, jesting upon the confusion of Leslie.
I then heard how my poor Clara had been
wounded, had been taunted, and how fearlessly
and calmly 6he had defended herself.
When I recurred to her sufferings and my
shameful doubts, I thought how earnestly
she must have longed for the support I had
denied; thought of the man who had thus
tempted, and would have destroyed her, I
lost all control of myself, andr.t that moment
Leslie coming up, I at once confronted him
and gave the chastisement he merited.?
He was no coward, but he could no more
withstand me in that moment of passion
than a reed could have withstood a whirlwind.
He challenged mo, of course?"
"And you accepted?"
"For a moment I was tempted. Clara
expected and was prepared for it. I shall
never forget her face so deathly-white in its
calmness.
"Edward, said she, 'you will not accept
this.' Then seeing me hesitate she continued,
'remember I cannot love a murderer,
nor dare I revere your memory were yon
to fall. Settle it with your own conscience;
bo persuaded as to what is right, and God
will help you in the rest."
It was all she said. I topk the challenge,
and while Leslie was surrounded by his
friends walked up to him, 'Sir,' said I, 'did
you send this to me V He bowed haughtily.
'Then this is my answer I replied, as I
tore it in fragments before him; for one moment
with my gaze steadily fixed upon him,
then turned and slowly walked away. I
heard nothing further of the challenge.?
Scarce a month had elapsed when I heard
of him in a duel. He was wounded in the
leg and is lame for life. The grace that he
so prided in is gone forever, and the gay and
heartless deceiver is now the wretched mis
anthrope, bating and bated, shunning and
being shunned.
Bat it was Clara's fearlesness that guarded
"for me what I bad so recklessly exposed
; and when I shrank in terror and despair
from a meeting, fearing to see her joyous
nature clouded, her innocent frankness
lost; her love sought me out, and the simplicity
of her childish faith shamed my distrustful
fear.
"1 .knew it," said Randolph emphatically,
"and a shadow of blame could sooner
rest upon an angel. Her guilelcssness preserved
her."
"Her truth and fearlessness preserved
her," said Manvers.
"Love and trust preserved me," whispered
a voice in Manver's ear, and Clara, who
had approached unheard, gayly summoned
them to theiT evening meal.
"Do you go to Saratoga this summer ?"
said Randolph after the repast.
"I do not know," said Clara looking at
her husband.
"I cannot go; my duties require me here,
and home associations are too dear to be
.?& . .. v. - .?
rudely severed/' said Manvers smiling.
"What say you, Mrs. Manvers?"
"You have my answer," she replied
laughing. / .. - .? ..
"What! you will forego the delights of a
season, to vegetate with such an uxorious
old fogy, who does not Rcruple to advocate
the hum-drum pleasures of home ?"
?I rather fancy Darby and Joan life,"
she replied demurely.
"And actually have a preference for
home ?"
" "Yes." .
"And if Manvert were to go ?"
"Then what constitutes my home would
be at Saratoga ?" >
"Humph ! and i?fce were to go to Africa ?"
"I trust his care to make a home for me
there also." ' '
4
"And you would follow ?
"Aye, to death I"
She looked up as she spoke, abd her eye
met her husbands with such a look of affection
and confidence that, had he not long
since learnt her capability of loving, learnt
to the full the outpouring of her impassioned
nature, he wonld there and then have
understood the fnll and abiding love and
trust with which a wife blesses the hosband
who not only loves and cherishes, but who
honors and guards her.

FROM YORKVTLLE.
Yorkville, June 18th.
Mr. Editor.?We have just been favored
with suoh a pleasing entertainment in the
Commencement exercises of the "Yorkville
Female College," that we cannot refrain
from rendering "honor to whom honor is
dne," and acquaint your many readers with
the deserved success of the College; especially
as we know that some of them are interested
in its progress. . .
The son on Commencement day, rose upon
our village in undimmed splendor, shedding
a fresh glory over the rejoioing earth ; and
as its mellowed beams gilded and lighted
every object, our minds were led to contemplate
that far brighter and transncendently
beautiful sun?the glorious sun of righteousness?which,
in the mysterious land of the
hereafter, shall bathe all happy spirits in
its Yearns; and our spirits were thus prepared
for the lovely and interesting occasion
before uti. On entering the large and capacious
College Hall, we were impressed
with the taste and beanty displayed in its decoration.
All 'there, was bloom and loveliness,
everything bearing the impress of Woman's
hand. Wreaths of edar beautified
Ktt ?,? TTnil vrrlvi In Knrn

and there coald be seen beautiful Grecian
Paintings. As we gazed upon one of these
lovely creations from Longfellow's Hiawatha,
we found ourselves unconsciously repeating
these lines, showing the design of
the piece: . ' *
FrOm the wigwam he departed,
Leading frith him Laughing-Water:
Hand in band they went together,
Through the woodland and the meadow.
But this pleasing state of mind did not long
continue; for following the dictates of our
heart, we were led to that closing scene, and
sympathising with the bereaved Hiawatha,
as,
"Farewell," said he, "Minnehaha!
Farewell 0 my Langhing-Water!
All my heart lies buried with you,
_A11 my thoughts go onward with you."
But it was a separation in life and not in
death, that we feared only?tbe abandonment
of long cherished hope, and bright anticipations?so,
resolved to "calm the heart
and nerve the will," we resolutely turned
away, and were soon listening with unalloyed
pleasure to the reading of the composi.
.1 n _ i ^ ni /?
iions or toe wraauaung v>iass, consisting 01
seventeen members. Miss M. E. A. of
Yorkville was first announced. She favored
the large and appreciative audience with
an exceedingly well written Salutatory; and
as in beautiful language, and in a voice,
finely attuned to the lovely thoughts and
ideas oontained in the address, the audience,
the Trustees, the Faculty, and the Pupils,
were each, and all, saluted, and welcomed
to the happy occasion, a responsive "well
done" arose in our hearts. Nothing would
give us more pleasure than to follow each
member of the Class in her reading, and
acknowledge the pleasure wc experienced
as each one gave new evidence of their progresyand
improvement, Dot space will not
allow. This interesting scene was closed by
a touching Valedictory from Miss J. McJ).
of Chester; and as the sad "Farewell" was
uttered tears glistened in many an eye, and
a prayer arose in many a heart for the future
welfare of those tender blossoms in the
storms and adversities of life.
In the afternoon the graduates were escorted
by the Cadets of the Military School,
ii. ? n_ii : it,.:. t\* 1
lu iuc ^utiege i/o icueive meir .uipiuiuua,
j after which they presented, through Lieut.
E. 31. Law, tokens of remembrance and regard
to their President 3Ir. Anderson, and
one of their Professors, 3Ir. Schorb. The
presentation was made iu a graceful and becoming
manner, and the replies of each
showed a lively appreciation of the honor
dene them. An overflowing house of "fair
women and brave men" again greeted the
Young Ladies at their closing Concert.?
Here all passed off musically in that word's
true sense, showing the proficiency the
Young Ladies attain under the instruction
of such teachers as Messrs. Orchard and
3Iuller.
Upon the whole, Mr. Editor, we can safely
say that we have here, that most desired
Institution?a good "Female College."?
Yorkville too, is a most desirable situation
for a College. Beautiful, pleasant, and
heallby, your readers will find it a place^
where their daughters may live, learn and
be happy. The Institution is a Precbyterian
one, bat all may rest assured that the
Faculty axe all liberal-minded men; and io
the spirit of that beautiful oharity which
"seeketh not her own," they strive only for *
the elevation and improvement of the Female
mind; the only distinctions being those
.with regard to merit and gqod conduct. May
the Institution at its opening in the middle
of August next, meet with that patronage
it has so well merited. Mount Hope.
Jerusalem?Its Siohtr and Inhabitants.?From
the senior editor of the New
York Express, now traveling abroad.
Nothing is visible, nothing at all of Calvary?if
this be calvary. Marble covers
all the original rock, pave in sohie verv few
C ' k
^places, where a peep can be had throngh the
marble crevices created to give the peep.?
The whole looks like a series of charcbe9 or
chapels?with" the usual altars, and'thecandles
of the Catholic churches of Greece
and Rome. The Priests of all the religioms
here show up everything spoken of in Scripture?the
exact place where Christ"appeared
to Mary Magdalene in the likeness of a
gardener; then a few feet further on, a stone
like a star, designating the spot where Mary
stood; then, where our Lord appeared to
Mary; then a fragment of a porphry column,
called the column of Flageliaba, being a
piece of that to which the "Saviour was
bound when scourged by order of Pilate;
then the exact place where the true cross was
dug up under the inspired and watchful eye
of St. Helena?a place of especial sanctity,
where the very rocks weep now (the place is
underground and damp) in mournful memory;
then, the very column of grey marble,
on which the Jews made our Savior sit while
they crowned him .with thorns, and mocked
him ; then the very place where the cross
was fixed; then the spot where Christ was
nailed to the cross, then where the Virgin
.Mary stood during the crucifixion, &c., &C.
Every historical point of the the New Testament
here, in Jerusalem has not only a name,
but local habitation; nay, Monkish- invention
and fancyare not thus content, but they
wander back to the begining of time, and
show up here on the ground of the holy sepulchre
'the centre of the earth, and the spot
even whence was taken the clay from which
Adam was moddled!' Fancy and Fiction
and Romance thus revel, and so extraordinary
is the whole operatic show, that one reininoa
nf loaf- thia la nnf Ionrw?fVita nnf.
r*vuu ? ~ j
Golgotlia?that this is Dpt. the place of the
Holy Sepulchre, and for wise purposes, the
Almighty has veiled secrecy in t.he ppot
where he sacrificed "His only Son. *
The Holy Sepulchre?Jealousy ahd
Farce.?The dome over the Holy Sepulchre
is leaky and broken, and rain creeps
through and in upon it; but it cannot be
repaired, for such is the jealousy that Greek
will not let Latin or Armenian do it: and
irice versa. Well is it, I repect that Infidel,
but impartial, Turk squats and smoke his
pipe by the door as door-keeper, and brings
in his soldiers to.keep order. But what can
Turks think of such Christianity, and all this
gewgaw?cool, calm, simple minded, unimpassioned
Turks?who jn plain simplicity,
spreads his mantle upon, the bare earth, and,
with his faco to Mecca, offers up, humbly on
his knees, with forehead bent to the earth, his
prayers to the Prophet alone?no image of
him, no painting, no seulptured form, no
Virgin?nothing but tbe Prophet himself?
and through him, to Allah, his God ? What
can Jew think of it?rJew who, here in his
own city, is chased out of the Sepulchre as
demon or wild beasts would be ? Hope not
for missionaries then. Talk not of Christianity,
and its progress in the city of the
Great King until all these things can be
mended. Never will Jew be converted -but
by interest here, never will Moslem be turnfrom
Mecca. The farce of the Holy Fire
alone?that grand Greek imposition on the
Easter Eve of every year, when the Greek
Patriarch alone enters the Tomb, and the
miraculous flame descends from Heaven'?
is, only of itself, enoilgh of disgust for the
Jew and the Moslem?if not for the Christian
of any other name. Then, on that great
display and farce, the Turks have to come
in, not only with bayonets, but with leather
lashes to lay over the backs, shofllders and
legs of the Pilgrim Christians, to keep them
in order. In the year 1834, a fearful tragedy
occurred on tho Greek Easter. Four hundred
persons were trampled to death, many
even upon the Stone of Unction.
The "Wailing Place op the Jews.?
| The Jews' wailiDg place was to me the most
interesting plaoe in Jerusalem. My dragoman,
an East India Jew, of Moorish skin,
who, by the way, is an English subject, and
speaks English well, conducted me thither.
We treaded our way through the usual narrow
and dirty lanes, misnamed streets, of
Eastern cities, and came to an area in the
form of a quadrangle, near the bridge where
the dwellers in Zion were once to pass over,
to worship God in the Temple, on His Holy
.Mount, Moriah. In the ancient foundation
wall of the Temple are several ceurses of
large, levelled stones, upon which the Jews
lavish their kisses and embraces, and
through the fcrevices of which they pour up
their prayers to God for the restoration of
His Temple, and early coming triumph in
Jerusalem. Here the Turks have permitted
the Jews to come and wail for years, and
years, and for years they have come?the
scattered tribes from all parts of the world
j..f il. snn .
to cry out in tne worusiu uu x auiiuiM, ,
1,3,5,) "Oh God, the Heathen have come
into thine inheritance, The Holy Temple
have they, defiled; they have laid Jerusalem
! on heaps, Wa are become a reproach to our
neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that
O '
are around about us. How long, Lord wilt
thou be angry forever? Shall the jealousy
burn like fire ?" Their mournful cry, as in
plaintive tones they read their Hebrew Bible?their
devout suffering, their humble
look of contrition, their very admiration
of the rocks of the Temple, are all painfully
suggestive and touching. The proud Moslepi
revels in triumph over them. The Muezzin
cries out his hour of prayer just over
them. The loftyxChristain, fresh from the gold
and glitter, and light of the Holy. Sepulchre,
looks down too oftea with contempt upon
the dirt and dost and misery, that'three surround.and
envelop the Hebrew. Now, whfen i
one thinks of the days of David and Solomon,
and* knows that these are God's chosen
people, and that prophecy tells us some day
or other Jerusalem shall be theirs again, the
whole scene becomes so touching that one
can scarcely refrain himself from wailing.'?
I must confess I have never been more affected
by any spectacle. It has disarmed
me of a thousand prejudices against the
Jews, and I am sure I now feel for a Jew as
a for a man *nd brother. " ?

Health and long life are almost uuiver-<
sally associated with early rising; and we
are pointed to countless old people, as evidence
of its good effects on the general sys-1
tem. Can any of our readers, on .the spurof
the moment, give a good and conclusive
reason why health should not" be attributed
to this habit? We know that old people get
t\p early; but it is simply because th^y can't
sleep. Moderate old age does not require
rauoh sleep; hence, in the aged, early rising
is a necessity, or a convenience, and is not a'
cause of healthy in itself. There.is a large
class of early risers, very early risfcrfc, ^ho
may be truly said not to "have & (fey**

who drink liquor until michright, nod

beneficial, must have two concomitants; to
retire early, and on" rising,- to be properly
employed. - One of the moat eminent divines

health, and has never regained it, nor never
will. It is rather an early retiring that does
the good, by keeping people out 'of tfcbse
mischievous practices which darkness "favors,
and which need not here be more particularly
referred to.
Another important advantage of retiring
early is, that the intense stillness of midLa

that unbroken repose which isthe all-powerful
renovator of the tired system. Without,
then, the aeoowpaniment of retiring eafty,
Kjarfy risiDg' is worse than useless, atnl is
positively mischievous. Every person should
be allowed to 'have his sleep ottt f otherwise,
the duties of the day cannot be properly
performed, will be necessarily slighted, even
by the most conscientious. . 'To
all young persons, to students, to the
sedentary, and to invalids, the fullest sleep
that the system will take, without artificial
means, is the balm of life^withont it there
can be no restoration to health and activity
again. Never wake up the siok or infirm,
or young children, of a morning?it is a
barbarity; let them wake of themselves, let
the care rather be to establish an hoar for
retiring so early, that their fallest sleep may
be out before sunrise.
Another item of great importance, is :?
Do not hurry np the young and the weakly.
It is no advantage to pull them out of bed
as soon as their eyes are open, nor is it best
for the studious, or even for the well, who
have passed an unnsually fatiguing .day,-to
jump out of bed the moment they wake up;
let them remain, without going to sleep
again, until the sense of weariness passes
from the limbs. Nature abhors two things
violence and a vacuum. The sun does not
break out at once into the glare of the meridian.
The diarnal flowers nnfold themselves
by slow degrees; ner fleetest beast,
nor-sprightliest bird, leaps at once from its
resting-place. By ail of which we mean to
say, that as no physiological truth ie more
demonstrable, than that the brain, and with
it the whole nervous system, is recuperated
by sleep, it is of the first .importance, as to
the well-being of the human system, that it
have its fullest measure of il; and to that
end, the habit of retiring to bed early
should be made imperative on all children,

ASK YOUE ENEMIES.
If you want to know your falts, ask your
enemies what they are, and you will be told.
If there is a broken place in your coat of
mail, they will discover it and thjust in a
spear there. They will pierce you between
the joints of your harness.
The above, or something like it, was impressively
uttered in our hearing, and it set
us upon reflecting upon what our enemies
bad said. Perhaps some people think that
one must needs be wicked to have enemies.
No, no?there is not a man nor woman on I

at least one enemy. It is no credit to a man |
to have it truly said of him, "He has not
an enemy in the world."
That saying would do very well to mark
upon the gravestone of a babe or an idiot?
but we were recalling some of the sayings of
our enemies.
We were created with a network of uerves
outside as well as one inside, and could always
feel quickly when any one hated or
meant to harm us. Our mother early taught
us that revenge was wicked, and what our
mother taught was never forgotten or disregarded,
or else, it is to be feared, we should
have become a revengeful mortal, for there
always was a strong, firece tiger chained
within us, and the impulse to resent affronts
was invariably hot and impetuous. The
clear and effectual way was always instantly
opened up before our mental vision, and a
time of it we sometimes had to hold ourselves
back and down, and to be quiet learners
from thespiteand malice of our enemies.
By the help that is offered to all, however,
we did it; and although we by no means believed
that all the hard things said of and
to us were true, yet so sensitive were we
about them, and so afraid that there might
begt least some slight fqundatioa forjhe
charges, that we ran so faraway, evenjrpm
the outmost edges of said-faults, that they
cannot overtake as now.

Idol Frig a, or Freega.?Friga, or
Frea, was the wife of Woden or Odin^ and
next to him the most reyerend divinity among
the heathen Saxons, Danes, aaaf other
northern .nations.. In the igost ancient
times, Friga, or Frea, wag the game 'with the
goddess Scrtha or Earth. To-herthe sijfth

his dress consisted of a long coat, girded
with linen.
The appelation given to the day of his
celebration is still retained. The Saxons
named it Sea tor's Deag, which wW call "Saturday.
Tobacco.?From a rare book, printed in
1658, called 'Sylva Sylvarum, er a Natwral
History,' by Francis Bacon, (Lord Verulam,)
we copy the following extract:
'Tobacco is a thing of great prioe,if it be
in request; for an acre of it will be worth
(as affirmed) two hundred pounds by the
year, towards charge. The charge of making
the ground by and otherwise ia great, but
nothing to the profit. But the English tobacco
hath small credit, as being too dull
and earthly; nay, the Virginian tobaceo,
though that be in & hotter climatej can get
us credit for the same cause; so that a trial
to make tobacco more aromatical and better
concocted here in England were a thing of
great profit. Some have gone about to do
it by drenching the English tobacco in a decoction
or infosion of Indian tobacco; bat
those are bnt sophistications and toys, for
nothing that is once perfect and hath ran
his race can receive much amendment. Yon
must ever resort to the beginiogs of things
for melioration. The way to maturation of
tobacco must, as in other plants, be from the
heat either of the earth or of the same. We
see some leading of this in mask-melons,
which are sowed upon a hot bed, manured
below, upon a bank turned to the south sun,
to give heat by reflection, laid upon dies,
which incrcaseth the heat, and covered with
straw to keep them from the cold. They remove
them also, which addelhsome life, and
by these helps they become as good in England
as in Italy or Province. These and
the like means may be tried in tobacco.?
Enquire also of the steeping of the roots in
some such liquor as may give them vigor
to put forth strong.'
Cure for Snoring.?An inventive Yankee
has produced an apparatus which he
claims is a cure for snoring. It fastens upon
the mouth a gutta percha tube, leading to the
tympanum of the ear. Whenever the snorer
snores, he himself receives the firs* im
