Often had i heard of happiness, but was
ignorant of it myself. My heart enquired if
it wits all a phantom a thing of tictiou merely,
and not of fact! I determined to travel
through the earth and see if it were in the
possession of any mortal. I beheld a king
on his stately throne. Subjects obeyed Ins
laws. A multitude of servants came nnd
went at bis bidding. Palaces of the most
costly material were at his service, and the
table* groaned with the richnessof their burdens.
lie seemed furnished with all he could
desire, but the countenance betrayed that be
was unhappy. 1 saw a man of wealth, lie
resided in an elegant mansion, and was surrounded
by every luxury, but lie lived in constant
fear of losing bis possessions, lie was
constantly imagining that all his property
would be eonsumedand taken from him.
, Thus picturing to his own mind the misera
hie condition of himself and family, he was
Foot satisfied with his present wealth. The
more lie had the more he desired. Surely
here was not happiness. I looked upon a
lovely valley surroumled by hills. Gurgling
(reams came murmuring uown the hilt side.
The lambs frolicked merrily about. Cattle

then went to nneiw-li ?! ?? ? ?t?? ?? "-1

est spring, or the purlingbrook. Everything
eeir.ed pleasant, I thought certainly here
is happiness. But I visited the inhabitants
of this beautiful spot, and saw that they were
not happy. They lived not peaceably among
themselves and murmured because great
wealth was not their portion, or that they
were borne to high station. I beheld a fair
young creature, blessed with health and beauty.
She was the life of the ball-room and
> received the most constant attention. But
I perceived that she was not truly happy.
These things could not satisfy the longings
Sp of her heart. I saw a true and heartfelt
t'hriataln. lie was constantly exercising love
to his fellow inen, and doing all in his power
to extend the knowledge of Jesus Christ
and Him crucified. He trusted not in tire
vanities of this life for happinens. He sought j
mot tbiu^Vorld'a riches, but laid up for himself
a treasure in Heaven. His soul was at
rest, and at peace with God, and with mankind.
Although he experienced many trials,
both in public and private; still he wa* cheer\
f?l and content with his lot He only of all
tfieae waa possessed of true happiness.

Corsets are beginning to make a direful
show in the millinery windows. Small waists
are exhibited in the streets bv pale, cadaverous,

repudiated, much, indeed, to tlie benefit, both
moral and physical, ofthc female population.
It is to be regretted that the silliness of fashion
is now to step in, and make our mothers
and future mothers the delight of doctors and
undertaker*. Is tiie figwe improved by be- I
ing pinched in at the waist. Doe* any one
believe that such distortion of the frame will
increase the matrimonial attractions? No
one but a stupid ignora.ntis would admire
such disfigurement?a kind of vapid puppy,
not fit to be trusted alone in thestieet*. No
later than yesterday we saw a sensible-looking
female cleik pinched up in corsets to such
an extent that she could not utter a 'sentence
of ten words without painful exertion. Her
lung* must have been damaged beyond cure
if she remained in that harness six hours.
Young woman ! if you desire health, respect
ability, and declining years that will not
make you a nuisance, forswear corset*. If
j'ou wish to keep your clear complexion, or
to obtain one?if you are careful about a
breath that shall not be offensive, abandon
corset*. If you would not be acquainted
with the most awful disease, such as make
death welcome instead of terrible, never girdle
yourself with corsets. It is nobody's business,
you may say, but your own. There's
the mistake. It is everylaxly's business to
picvent the deterioration of the human race,
and corsets are famous is that work. Avoid
the corseted feminine, gentle wife-seeker,
you would a pestilence. Make yourself agreeable
to stout waists and faces that look as if
thay were not galvanized into existence.

According to an ancient custom, nup-1
tials of the nobles and principal citizens of
Venice were always celebrate*] on the same
day of the year. The eve of the Purification
was conseeraled to this public festival,
and the State annually increased the general
y>y of the occasion by endowing twelve
maidens with marriage portions. In the
morning, gondolas, elegantly ornnmcnted, assembled
from all parts of the city at tl?e Episcopal
Church of Olivolo. 'I he affianced
pairs disembarked amidst the sound of music;
their relations and friends, in their most
splendid habiliments, swelled their retinue; |
the rich presents made to the brides, their
jewels and ornaments, were proudly borne
for display ; and the body of the people unarmed,
and thoughtless of danger, followed
the glad procession. The Istrian pirates, acI
attainted with the existence of this annual
festival, had the boldness to prepare an ambush
for tlws nuptial train in the city itself.
They secretly arrived over night at an uninhabited
islet, near the church of Olivolo, and
Uy hidden behind it with their barks until
the procession hud entered the church, when,
' darting from their conoelement, they rushed
I into the sacred edifice through its doors, tore
tl?e shrieking brides from the arms of their
defenceless lovers, possessed themselves of
the jewels which had been displayed in the
festal pomp, and immediately put to sea with
their fair captives and booty. Hut a deaillv
revenge overtook them. *
The Doge, Metro Caniando IIf, had been
present at tlie ceremony; he shared in the
; fury and indignation of the affianced youths,
they flew to arms, and throwing themselves
under his conduct into their vessels, canio
up with their spoilers in the lagunes of Car
lo. A frightful massacres ensued ; not a life
among the pirates was spared; and the
victors returned in triumph, with their
brides to the church of Olivolo. A procession
of the maidens of Venice revived for
| many centuries the recollections of this deliverance
on the eve of the Purification.?
I Put the Doge was not satisfied with the punishment
"v.htch fce had inflicted on the Patriots.
lie entered vigorously upon the resolution
of clearing the Adriatic of all the
parties who infested it; he conquered part

summating hi* design.
Youno man one word in your ear. You

Iloxv like (he clouds and eunshine of an
April uay the light* and shadows coinoand
go over the path of life, llow ioy and sorrow
seem to meet, and hope and fear chase
each other over the world. Come into our
busy metropolis, and you will find the exemplification
of this principle. Go through
the streets ; gather the pictures that gieet
you any day, ar.d you wi!! have a mental
panorama of contrasts, with which lleinbrandt'a
can l?ear no comparison.
Here a grand mansion is illuminated for a
wedding,and you can see the brilliancy of the
moving throng within. You catch glimpses
of halls fit to grace a palace; of carpets and
drapery and rare gems of sculpture, which
almost dazzle you with their magnificence.
You behold the bride in the flush of her
youth and beauty, her cheek crimsoned with
excitement, her eyes beaming with happiness
and her lips wreathed with smiles. You I
mark the graceful outline of her figure in its |
snowy robes, and the flash of the jewels which
light the waves of her dark hair.
You hear the'J congratulations offered to
the envied pair?the blessings breathed?
the farewells spoken. Your glance follows
the young wife, as she enters the carriage,
which will bear her from home, friends, and
all she once held dearer than aught else
on earth. You hear the music of the lingering
revellers long after you have passed
on and the gorgeous pageantry has faded
from your sight. Hut before those sweet
tones have melted from your ear, you become
an accidental witness of another and
far different scene.
In a shadowy corner, only a very short
distance from that grand dwelling, there is
a groiu) so striking that it rivets your attention.
V\ feeble old man has crouched down
on the steps of an imposing church, and is
sitting there, with his tattered cloak folded
around his emaciated frame, and his head
resting on the thin hands clasped over his
sturdy cane. A child is reclining, at liis
feet, with half-closed eyes, and slender fingera,
idly trifling with her unkept locks, j
! Near her, standing erect, and silent, is a girl
I of some ten summers, fair, but with the spirit
of a suffering woman imprinted on every
feuture. The whole trio are faint and weary,
and desolate. In all this city with its numerous
homes, there is no roof to shelter them ; i
no fire-side around which they can loiter ; no
amply supplied table where they can satisfy
the cravings of hunger, and as the aged man
j thinks of it, tears roll down his sunken cheek.

years, but so old in bitter experience, soothes
iiitn with gentle words of encouragement,
and smiles, tlmt light up her wan face with
strange radiance. You think of little Nell,
: the guardian angel of her grandfather, hovI
ering about him with her winning ways,
leading hiin from the temptations that surrounded
him, and dying at last in that pleasant
country nlace near the ancient church
and the grave yard. Perhaps her patient 1
endurance, her noble devotion speak a reproofs
your repining, and you turn away
with higher resolves and holier aspirations.
Farther on, you see a brilliant throng assembled
within the walls of a theatre. Everything
there seems gay and enchanting;
tfie gas light, which reveals the elaborate decorations
of the edifice; the stage, with its
superb scenic arrangements ; the melody
that flonta from tuneful instruments; the
beauty and fashion all around you. combine
to form a fascinating picture. You hear the
merry jest in the pauses of the play?the
light laugh, the applause, which ever and
anon echoetf through the stately building.
Then, with a lingering gaze, you again reresume
your walk. A moment more
and you perceive a single ray of light
twiukling froiu a house that appears wrapped
in silence and gloom, liu*. you soon
find yourself looking anxiously in'o that dimly*
illuminated room. It is sosUjl, that your
foot fall almost startles you, and your buried

and within the waxen Angers nestle flowers,
frail, fair and sweet like her whose dreamless
slumber they will soon share. The icy brow
is garlunded with myrtle, and a sprey of blossoms
fastens the robe around the slender
neck.
Once more you are in the street; men go
carelessly by the chamber of death, laughing
and talking with merriment that jars painfully
on your ear. You meet the rich wrapped
in velvet and fur, and the poor in\scanty
and ragged habiliments. You behold life
snd death commingling, and joy, with her
starry crown,-seems walking side by side
with grief and woe. Do you ask "why

Ab I wan returning from England lately, I
made the acquaintance of a gentleman who
was on his way home from Palestine. He
was a missionary to the Jews there. lie
is a ma?i of oxcellent parts. Hi* wife, two
sons, and a daughter, were also accompanying
him. My curiosity wan natnraly awakened
about the condition of the decendants
of Abraham, and with pleasure I listened to
Ilia description. Since ever I was able to
read mv Bible, my sympathy for the Jews
hu been strong. And why should it be
otherwise? They have been the instruments
in God's hand of handing down to us the
sacred Scriptures; nnd of then'1 Christ c;nne,
who w over all.Godbleesed forever. Where
tbe temple of Solomon stood, a Mnhonuncdan
Mosque now stands. I Jut the Jews revere
the place still. Many of them may
be dxt^ly seen going to the ruins, and kissing
the aacred stones, literally fulfilling the
word* of the l'salmist:
"Tito saints take pleasure in thy dust.
Her very stones to them are dear."
Most miserable is their present condition.
Their privations are numerous. Famine
has reduced them to tbe greatest poverty.
Besides they are treated most cruelly by
their oppressors. And yet the feeling that
all the brethren of the dispersion "shall be
restored to tbe Holy Land" is fully impressed
upon their minds. Little impression
in behalf of Christianity is made npon
the Jews. For this there lias been a variety
of causes. The forms of Christianity
represented by the Greek, Roman ami Armenian
churches, have been such as to confirm
the deep-rooted prejudices of the Jews.
As yet the Protestants have done but little
for their evangelization. A protectant Episcopal
church Tih? been erected in Jerusalem.
A bishop of that persuasion resides there.?
But nothing of a permanent nature has re
suited from hi* episcopal functions among
the Jews. Let the Jew be convinced of the
| Divine oiigin of Christianity, and he will
wsnt'imonwoJ rotvo? to a<luni his priests in
the sanctuary. Such may strike the senses
of the carnal mind favorably, but it will not
be required by the true Christian; for the
holy garment he desires is the righteousness
of his blessed Savior.
There is a mission colony established in a
certain town in Palestine, which is supported
by American Christians. But, alas! it
observes the seventh day as the Sabbuth, instead
of the first or the Lord's day! The
Jews say to thein, "Why do ye not keep
our feasts days, when you keep our &'abhath
f" This is not a moral honest mode
of treating the Jews. And besides this
spirit of accommodating the forms of Christianity
to the pre-eonceived prejudices of either
Jew or Greek, is the well known spirit of
Popery?a spirit that gives the form of godliness
without the life. And how oftep is
this resorted to, even among Protestants.
THE JEWS IN NEW YOKK.
A devoted servant of Christ?Itev. John
Neander, once a Habbi of distinction?is
laboring with assiduity among his kindred
of the seed of Abraham. lie visiLs them nt
their own houses, and is doing the will of
his Divine Master. Besides laboring among
the .lews, this devoted servant of Christ,
preaches every Lord's day to a large German
eongregation in Wiliiumaburgh. The Jews
are very numerous in this city, and have
several beautiful synagogues. But their
prejudices against Christianity is unabated.
The Jew is a lasting monument of Divine
Providence?scattered over every land he
preserves his identity. Go to China, there
you will find him. Go to Ilindoston, there
you will find him. Nay, you will find him
among the Arabs and the Parsees, the Nes
toriana and the Punjabees, the C<?pt* and
the Ethiopians, the Greek* and the Roman*,
the Poles and tlie German*, the Spaniard*
and the Portugees, tlie Unions and the Americans.
And thougli he speak* the language
of the county wherein he lives, there
is one language dear to him which he always
learns. The Hebrew is his sacred lanJuage.
It forms the basis of union for all
3?'5, No rattier from what' (dime a Jew
may come, he can communicate hi* ideas to
another Jew through the Hebrew tongue.
This teaches us art important lesson?one
that tlie Bibie has always taught?that
when the dispersed children of Abraham
shall return to Palestine, and be endowed
with tlie Spirit from on High, they will go
forth, east, west, north, and south, and proclaim
a free salvation, through the shed blood
and living intercession of Jesus Christ.?
The converted Jew is far more energetic
wan ilift converted uenuie, in diffusing
knowledge of Christianity. Ilie heart of a
Hebrew will throb more at reading the sublime
and noetic Isaiah, than it could be expected
a Christian'* would. Christians owe
the Jew* a debt of gratitude never to be forgotton.
Let them awako to a full knowledge
of their state. Let them ameliorate
Israel's unhappy condition. Let them bear
do hatred to Israel's ohildren. For when
our blessed Savior waa suspended on the
cross he prayed: "Father, forgive them, for
they know not what they dor? Prta

It iR rumored in Paris tliat M. de Rothschild
bad offered to accept the terms proposed
for the Turkish loan, or even to advance
a large mm, provided a mortgage was
! given on Palestine.
This rumor is highly snggestive. Every
reflecting Christum must have frequent
thoughts of the Jews of Palestine, and of the
precious pi omises and prophecies laid up for
thein in the Bible, during the thickening of
the war plot, which now must inevitably involve
all Europe. The great battle of Armagedden?the
angel standing in the sun calling
all the fowls to the feast of the God?thp
ti ending of the wine press without the city,
and the blood coining to the horses' bridles,
and passages of Holy Writ that come up
before the mind with awful grandeur, cloth- s
ed with the idea of a p<?ssible fulfilment within
a short time ! Palestine is the Lord's inheritance,
reserved for the seed of Abraham.
The Turkish power holds it. Its downfal is
imminent; and who next shall own Palestine!
Evidently the Jews.
The world has wondered at the wealth of
the Rothschilds. They are Jews. Why has
Providence raised them up and placed in
their handA an amount of wealth equal to ;
many an entire kingdom ! May it. not be .
for such a time as this 1 The Turkish pow-;

?he asks a mortgago on Palestine ; and on i
this condition offers more money than Turkey
asks. The Sultan, knowing Palestine is
one portion of his dominions on which the
Emperor of Russia has fixed his covetous,
eyes, that he may command the Mediterranean
and Red Seas, and also, the mouths of
the Nile, would the more readily mortgage
it to Rothschild, to put it as far from the enemy
as possible, and identify it with the interests
of Western Europe, and by this means
the more effectually secure the aid of France.
In the event Turkey is swallowed up?the
mortgage lies unredeemed?Palestine is once
more the property of nn Israelite. But Russia
is determined to have it; but to obtain it
she must fight all Europe?and the last great
conflict is on this sacred ground. New forms
of government arise all over Europe, and the
Jews return to their fatheriaud under the
deed of Rothschild. These are thoughts
that quickly sprung up in our mind upon
reading the above few lines.? Vermont

The largest open space in Constantinople
is the Hippodrome. It is a present three
hundred yards long by a hundred and fifty
wide.
In it formerly stood the celebrated group
of four horses, originally from Bime, and afterwards
removed to the cathedral of St.
Mark, at Venice. It still contains the grand
obelis.k from Thebes, the broken pyramid of
Constantino, shorn of its bronzed plates, and
between tho two the hollow spiral brass colj
limn which once supported the golden trii
pod in the temple at Delphi. The Hippo,
droine continues to be used by the Turks for
I feats of activity, both on horseback ami on
! foot. There are numerous libraries at Constantinople;
the number of volumes which
! they contain may be estimated at eighty
| thousand, reconing both MSS, and printer!
. hooks. The literature of Arabia, Persia, and
' Turkey is represented in them ; and the col!
lection includes philosphical and theological
j works, poetry, history, books of science, and
| an immense number of those treaties on conductnnd
manners to which the Turks attach

themselves. The periodical press has produced
