~ Destruction' of Jerusalem.
ITrnm a IaaIuia hr Kip K 11,
Lytton we take the following thrilling
description :
44 ?ix years after the birth of our Lord,
Judca and Samaria became a ltomnn
province under subordinate governors,
- the most, famous of whom was |?onl]|ia
Pilate. The governors became so oppressive,
that the Jews broke oat into
m rebellion ; and seventy years after Christ,
Jerusalem Was finally besieged by Titus,
afterwards*Emperor of llome. No
_ tragedy on the stage has the same
scenes of appalling terror as are to he
found in the history of this siege. The
city itself was rent by factions at the
deadliest war with each other?all the
elements of civil hatred had broke loose
?the streets were slippery with the
blood of citizens?brother slew brother
?the granaries were'set on fire?famine
wasted those whom the swotd did not
slay. In the midst of these civil massacres,
the Roman armies appeared before
the walls of Jerusalem. Then for
a short time the rival factions united
against the common foe; Ihcy were
again the gallant countrymen of David
and Joshua?they sallied forth nnd-scattered
the eaglee of R^me. Hut this
triumph was brief; the ferocity of tho
[ - ill-fated Jews soon again wasted itself
on each other. And Titus marched on
-"-encamped Iris armies close to the
^ walls?and from the height tho Roman
genera) gazed with awo on the strength
and splendor of the city of Jehovah. *
^ "Let us here pause?and take, ourselvee,
a mournful glanco at Jerusalem,
as it then was. The city was fortified
bf a*tr?i"n'e WR"' savo on on?
where it was nroi^?- bY <le<>P *nd im
passable ravines. These of m?.?t
solid masonry, wore gtfarded by etrorg
towers; opposite to the loftiest'of these
towers Tilus had encamped. From tho
height of that tower (he sentinel might
M have been seen stretched below the
IP whole of that fair territory of Jnden,
flg, about to pasa from the countrymen of
Perid. Within these walls was the
l\" palace of the kings?its roof of eedar,
K )t* door of the rarest marble, its chamber
fliw wilti ?"<! VMMl.
cfgoM and allnr. (/rv.r "" !
BE * gleaming with fountains, adorneu .7""
Kk statues of broaae, divided the courts of
the palace itself. But high Above all, on
Xk precipitous rook, rose the temple, for
fined and adorned by Solomon. This
K temple ras aa wtrang wit!:-.'"' z
ifel ; within morn adorned than a palace.. .
Qn'entoring, you beheld,porticos of numberless
columns of porphyry, marble and
alabaster ; gates adorned with gol I and
silver, among which was the wonderful
gate called the Beautiful.
"Further on, through a'vast' arch,
was tiro s%cred portal which admitted
ipto th? interior of the temple itself?
all hireled, over with gold nud overhung
by a vine- tree <ft gold, the branches of
wljich were as large as a man. The
roof of the temple oven on the outside,
was set over with, troldcn snircs. to nro
vent the birds settling there nnd defiling
the holy dome. At a distance the
whyle temple looked liken mount of
snow, fretted >vilh gOldon pinnacles.?
'But, alas, the veil of the temple had
been already rent asunder by an inexpiable
crime', and the Lord of Hosts did
not fight with Israel. But the enemy
is thundering at the wall. All around
the city aroso immense machines, from
which Titus poured down mighty fragments
of rocks and shoWers of tire.?
The walls gave away?the city was entered,
the temple itself was stormed.
*' Fsjuiirlo, in the meanwhile, had
made such linvoyk that the besieged
were more Hko spectres than living utei> ;
they devoured tho belts of their swords,
the sandals of their feet. Even nature
itself so perished away, that a mother
devoured her own infhnt; fulfilling the
j awful words of the prophet who had
first led the ^ews towards the laud of
promise?" The tender and delicate
woman .amongst yon, who would, not
venture to set the solo of her foot upon
the ground for delicnteness nnd tenderness?her
eye shall be evil towards her
young one nnd (lie. children that she
shall hoar, for she slinll oat them for
want of all things secretly in tho siege
and strnitness wherewith thine enemy
slinll encompass thee in thy gates."
"Sail, as if the foe nnd famine were
not scourge enough, citizens smote and
murdered each othe r as they met in the
way ?false prophets ran howling
through the streets?every imago of
despair completes tho ghastly picture of
tho fall of Jerusalem. And now the
temple was set on lire, the Jews rushing
lliiough tho (lames to perish amid its
ruijtf.
. " It wa? a calm %nmmcr night?the
fji of August?the whole hill on
feh stood tho temple was one giganhlaze
of fire, the roofs of cedar Clash
? the golden pinnacles of the dome
were like spires of crimson flame.?
Through the lurid atmosphere all was
enrnngo nnd slaughter, the echoes of
shrieks rang back from the hill of Zion
to the Mount of Olives. Amongst the
smoking ruins,, and over piles of the
dead, Titus planted the standard of
Rome."
What I Begin to Believe.
" Bubbles," of tho California Golden
Era, furnishes that paper under the
head of " Notes and Cogitations," with
the following :
I begin to helicvo that, now-a-dnys.
money make* lite man, ami dress I lie
gentleman.
I begin to believo tlint tho purse U
more potent than ibo sword and tlie
pen together.
I begin to believe that those who sin
| the most during tho week arc the most
devout upon Sunday. . .
I begin to believe that honesty is tlie
best policy?to speculate with until
von gain everybody's confidence ; thenline
your pockets.
I begin to believe in humbugging the
people of their dollars. It is neither
stealing nor begging ; and those who
are humbugged bavo themselves td
blame.
1 begin to believe that man was not
made to enjay life, but keep himself
miserably in tho pursuit and possession
kof rii hdfc
1 begin to believe that tho surest
! remedy for hard times and a tight money
1 maiket is in an extravagant expendi!
ture on tho part of individual*? to keep

I begin to believo' that nnno but
knaves are qualified to bold office under
the government with the exception
of a few natural l>orn fools ami lunatics.
X begin to believe that piano fortes
are more necessary in a family than
meat and potatoes.
I believe that a boy who doscn't
swear, silioko and chow tobacco, may
bo a very good boy, but is naturally
stupid.
I begin to believe that if the devil
should din nnn linlf of llio wntl/l ?auI.1

" I Am Going to be an Angel."
Tho last rays of lhe setting sun stole *
through the dancing leaves, nnd shed a
golden radiance over a lovely garden,
imparling an additional beaufy to every
bud and blossOtn. lint the fc.ircst flow-,
er upon widen tire sunbeams shone was
a pnle, spiritual child, who-stood Inhaling
the perfumed air, and surveying
with apparent delight; the mnny-hiicd
flowers. As she looked and admired,
her blue eyes sparkled, and a faint color
just tiitgcd her cheek, as if reflected
MVIC III IIIO
" Oh ! yes, ran mm a, I remember you
dug a liitle hole in the ground and put '
it in, and then you .covered it all up.*'
" Do you know what became of thnt
little root, Li I lie!"
"Ye?, mamma, I do," replied tbechild,
with brightening ejes. " It came
up with two lovely green leave*, and it
grew into this tall shrub, which has so
many beautiful flowers upon it."
" If I had not planted the root in the
cold ground, would wo have those sweet
flowers, which you love so well, Lillie?'
"No'inainmn, we would not."
" Listen to ine, darling : we must die.
and be buried up in tho cold grontid,
that our spirits may rise up, as the flowers
do above the eaith, in beauty and
purity to heaven. If we do not die,
my child, we cat) never p > to heaven,
to live with Christ and the angels."
The child looked for an instant upon
tho flowers, then exclaimed, with her
face and blue eyes radiant with hope,
" O mamma ! I do not feci afraid now
to die and be buriei np in the ground,
l>eeauso I sbnll rise up far more beautiful
than I am now. to livo away up in
tho blue sky with Christ and the angels."
And little Lillie never thought again
of being afraid to die; bat when at
length she lay upon her little bed. and
coultl not walk, or be cartie<1 out inter
tlie garden to look at tlio flowers and
tho Bunsct clouds, alio thought of that
beau.jful home whither she was prying,
and as her blue eyes closed in death,
she murmured,
u Mamma, I am not afraid to bo put
in tho ground, for I ain going to bo ah
angel."
Anecdote or Wabiiixotox.?During
the Revolution a corporal was giving
orders to his men, who were endeavoring
to raise a heavy log to the
top of Roino military works they were
repairing. An oflicer not in military
costume, was passing and asked tho
cominnnder why he did not aid. The
latter, turning around with nil the pomp
of an' emperor, said, "Sir, I am a corporal."
"1 a*k your pardon, Mr. Corporal,"
said tho officer, dismounting,
lifted till tho work was finished, when
turning to the commander he said,
' Corporal, when ypu have a another i
such job, and have not men sufficient. I
send tor your Commander in-chief, and
I will help you the second time." It
was Washington. v

head. Presently lier nlteniion was
withdrawn /rom the flowom. and direct- .
cd to the western sky, which the sun's
departing rays had died with gorgeous
hues. The trees upon the mountain's
brow seemed as if painted topon the
gtowing horizon, nnd clouds of silver
white, tinted oft' with gold and critnion,
floated above them.
As the child stood enraptured with
the heanty of the sky, light fingers
strayed through her sunny tresses, fond
eyes were bent upon her, and a voice
sweet nnd gentlo said, "Of what aie
you thinking, Lillio 1" The child pointed
upward with her slender finger, saying.
*
" O, mamma ! how beantiftd ! ITow
I should like to bo away up there with
the angels 1"
The mother looked up and answered,
".Yes, -darling, the clouds are very Ufcautiful
to-night."
" But.'maminn, do you know what
makes them beautiful ? 1 do; it is bocause
the angels are in them, and I was
just thinking that when I died, m .ybo I
would look light down hero-some time,
upon yoa, mamma. Say, doft't you
think I will ?"
The mother mnde no reply, for tears
were in her eyes, and a shadow upon
her heart ;*and tenderly einbiacing the
fragile little creature, nnd kissing her
while brow, she tiied to divert lior
thoughls.
13ut the child continued, 14 Mamma, I
want to be an nngel ; but I don't want
to die, as lillio Hessie did, and be put
into the cold ground. You won't let
me die nnd be buiied up, will you,

The Pack of 6*rd?.
A nobleman in ibe city of London
who kept a great mi inter of servants,
reposed consider ablo confidence in one.of
lliein. which excited a jealousy in others;
who, in order to prejudice their master
against him, accused him of being a
notorious gamester. Jack was called up
and closely iuieuegalcd, but he defied
the fact, at the sauie. time declaring he
never played a card iu his life. To be
more fully convinced, the gentleman ordated
him to be .searched ; when, behold,
a pack of cards was found in his
pocket. Highly incensed at Jack's
want of verncily, the nobleman demanded
in a rage, how he (tared pcndfiftijjn
untruth ? "Mv Lord,'" replied hc^jf l
certainly do not know the meaning of
a card. The bundle in my pocket is
my Almanac." "Your Almanac? indeed
! then I desire you to prove it."?
" Weil sir, I will begin : There ars
four suits in the pack ; that intimates'
the. four quarters of the year. As there
nro thiitecn ontds in each suit, so there
are thirteen week# in a quarter. There
a:e also the same number of the twelve
signs of the Zodinc, through whioh the
Sun steers his diurnal course in one year.
Thero are. fifty two cauls in a pack ; that
directly answers the number of weeks
in n veto-. Examine more minutely,
and you will find three, hundred and
sixty five spots, as many as thcte are
days in a year; theae multiply by
twenty-four and sixty, and you Ijftvo
the exact number of hours and minutes
in the year. Thus, sir, I hope I havo
convinced you that this is my Almanac ;
and by your Lordship's permission 1
will prove it. to be nry Prayer ltooik,
also. I look upon the four suits as representing
the four prevailing religions:
Christianity, Judaism, Mahoincdantsm
and Paganism. The twelve court enrda^
reminds me of the twelve tribes of Israel
and tho twelve Apostles. The King,
reminds mo of the allegiance due to his
majesty ; liie Queen, of the same to her
majesty. The ten brings to my recollection
tho ten cities of Sodom and
Gomarroh, destroyed by fire and brim- |
stone from heaven, the ten plagues of
Egypt, the ten commandments, and the
ten tribes cut oft' for their vices. The
nino reminds mo of the nine Muses, and
the nine noble orders among men.?
The eight reminds me of the eight persons
Snvoil in N<i?li'i okL* -in.! iK?
... - ?..? "? VlJjlH
persons spoken of in rcriptore to be roleased
from death unto life. The seven
reminds me of the seven ministering
Spirits that sUnu before the throne of
God, the seven seals wherewith the
book of life is sealed,- the seven libejtrl
arts and.sciences given by God for the
instruction of man? The six reminds
ine of the 6i\ petitions contained in Uie
Lord's prr.yer. The tive reminds me of
he senses given by God to man ; hearing,
seeing, feeling, tasting and smelling.
The four puts mo iu mind of the four
Evangelists. Tho three tCtninds of the
Trinity, the three hours our Saviour was
on the cross,' ?md the three days he lay
interred.' Tho two reminds mo of the
two Testaments, and tho two contrary
principles struggling in man, viz.t virtue
and vice. Tho ace reminds me of tho
true God to adore,- worship and serve,
one faith to believe, one truth to practice,
and one good master to servo arid
obey."
So far all is well, said the nobleman,
but I believo you have omitted one card,
the knave. "True, my'fxml, the knave
reminds me of your fjordshipVinfo'rrner."
The noblentan became more pleased
with Jack than before, freelv forgive
him, raised his wages, and discharged
tho informer.
The World's Ciianuks.?It is sad
l>nt instructive that we live in a world
of changes. Front the cradle to the
grave, the etidoncea of this painful
Until are ever impressing themselves on
tho mind. Of all the varied objects
iiihi iwiuo ine.oseives round our iieai ts
in youth, bow few clir.g to it in tna'urp
years!?d?ow few of our precious hope*
arc nof wrecked and bornoaaay on the
restless waves of cbango ! Yet sad as
are the other objects of change, it contains
in its full quiver, ono arrow more
keen nnd deadly than the rest. When
he whom for many & long year wq
might grapple to our soul with hooks
of steel?whom wo have [.cherished
44 our heart's core, ay, in our heart of
hearts ??meets us with a cold and
averted gaze; when lite eye tkfit used
to beam on us with a tender and niel
low lustre, no longer return our glanoes
?and the face ot him who was dearest
to us wears 44 tho look of a stranger "
?then has change done its work for us
nud* we can smile at its farther visitations.
It is hard to loso our friends by
separation?and yet more painful and
solemn is it to lose them by death, but
still we Ipse thein as friends?wo lose
them while uifection is reciprocal ; and,
ns our spirits limy 91 ill commingle, their
memory in " pleasant though mournful
to the soul." lhit.when Yne being we
lovo, lives and is ostranged, there is, as
one lias truly said, a gap between us,
deep and wido, which wo cau neither
fill up or cross over. Then the past is
desolation, the present is bitterness, tho
future is a blank, and the only anodyne
the crushed heart ?an hopo to fiud, is
the lethargy of forgetfuluess.
Gratitude is the music of tho heart

The fiquire and tais-Wife.
Tlio Squire had a friend to virit him
on business, and was very much annoyed
to he interrupted Uy his .wife, who
ciime to ask liiiu what he wanted for
.dinner. '
44 Go nwny ! let us alone P impatient*
ly said the Squire.
llusiness detained hia fiiend till dinnor
time, m:d the Squire urged him to
JCnifup. The Squire was a generous
provider, proud of his table; and hoeomplucontly
escorted his friend to a
seat. A little to the surprise of both,
they saw nothing on the hoard but a
lingo dish of salmi, which the good
wifo began quietly to serve up.
" My dear," said the Squire, 44 where
are the meats f"
44 There are none to day," replied his
lady.
4> No meats! What, in tho name of
poverty ! The vegetables, then 1 _ Why
don't you have the vegetables?'
44 You didn't ordor any vegetables."
"Older; I didn't order anything!''
said the amazed Squire.
44 You forget," coolly answered the
house wife.
"I-nsked what we should have, and
you said 4 lettuce- alone /' llere it is."
The fiiond burst into a laugh, and
the Squire, after looking lurid and.lugubrious,
a moment, joined him.
44 Wife. 1 givo it up. I owe you one.
Here is the'fifty dollars you wanted for
that eiupet, which I denied you." Tho
Squire forked over. 44 Now, let's have
peace?and some dinner."
The good woman pocketed the paper,
rang the bell, and a sumptuous repast
of li-li, poultry and vegetables was
brought in.
A liiw days- afterwards, tho Squire remained
woikiug in his gulden some
time after tho usual hour. His "wife

what lie was wailing for, throw Iier into
sHr-r^er of excitement.
44 Some one'# to coino to supper I" he
exclaimed. 4* Why didn't you loll me ?
I declare, you aro tho provokingest
man !"
And without asking which of his
friends was expected, she hastened to
change her dress and "'slick up" her
hair on the occasion. This done, she
came out and Ibnnd the Squire seated
at the tahle, reading his newspaper.
44 Where's your company ?"
44 My company? 1 hadn't any company."
14 Hut vou said you expected someI'body
tcAwpper ?" exclaimed the imlignant'wife.
" My dear, Isaid no sncli thing.?^
Von asked w.hat I was wailing jar, and
I 1 said, 4 Summon*' to come, to supper.
That's what 1 was wailing for, my dear.
And I CAme at once.
44 And you have innde me go and
change my dress! Oh,' I'll pay you
i for this I"
44 No matter nbout it, my dear, I
owed you, romenrbur, for tbat lettuce."
. Goon Anvicn.?There is nothing to
be gained in dangling Or a twelve month
after a sensible woman, talking unmennI
ing stuff?words without wisdom. Tell
Iter your wish like a man, and not like

Juvki.'ilk IwAotNATiox.-Thero seems
to be a pretty strong tendency, in these

rjuie wrong. Tho imagination is as
legitimate, in its way, as any other portion
of tho mental apparatus. 44 Facta
are stubborn things," and mere dry facts
are far loo stubborn to l>e a wholesome
pabulum for the graceful and spiritual
understanding of children. They find
out, in lime, that their doll* are only

Tiie Gi.or.v of a Good La con.?
After nil, what a capital, kindly, honest,
jolly, glorious thing a good laugh is !
What a tonic? What a dijester ??
What a fobiifugc? What an exerciser
of evil spirits? Better than a walk
before breakfast, or a nap after dinner.
How it shuts the inoulh of malice and
opens tho brow of kindness !
y Whether it discovers the gums ot
[ infancy or age, tin! grinders of folly ot
life pearls of tho countenance of vulgarity,
or dimples the visage or morstens
the eye of refinement?in all its
phases, and ail faces, contorting, relax
ing, overwhelming, convulsing, throwing
the liHinnn counteuanco into something
approximate to Billy Button'*
transformation?uhder every circutn
stance, nnd everywhere, n laugh is ?
glorious thing.
Liko ".a .thing of beauty," it is t
"joy forever." '1'here is no remorse ir
it. It leaves no sling?except in th<
sides, and thai goes otl". liven a single
an participated laugh is a great atl'air tc
witness. But it is seldom single.. It i?
more infectious than scarlet fever. You
cannot gravely eontemplato a laugh.
If there is one laugher ami one witness
! there are forthwith two laughers, and
so on. The convulsion is propagat^l
like sound. What n thing it is whet:
it becomes epidemic!

A GOOD IvK A80N FOR LAUOriTKn.?
A spendthrift was once lying awake in

' A Hoyal Spanking.
A gentleman of Rochester, N. Yn professes
to have been an eye witness to
the Allowing scene:
dome thirteen or fourteen years ego,
her M Hjesfy1, accompanied by the Prince
consort, and the royal children, visited
j Scotland in the royal yacht, and called
! at Al?erdeen. and. of course, the loval
! inhabitant* of thet city turned out in
largo number*. A guard of honor, formed
in all the glory of black broadcloth
and white kid*, paraded on the edge of
the dock, while thousands were assembled
a little further back, to gaze on the
spectacle of an anointed Queen. Her
Majesty good naluredly remained on
deck '.o gratify the cuoiosity of the bonny
Scot*, accompanied by the Prinee
of Wale*, thon a child five or six year.t
old. Tho Prince, liko other boys of hi*
age, being of a destructive turn, began
to pull at tho tassel of a splendid sofa
on tho deck, in a manner that threatened
to detach it. His mother observed
the act, and ordered the boy to desi?t.
lie did so, but a* soon a* her back wnt
1 turned, seized her tassel again, and gave
it another jerk. In an instant, the
i Queen turned and seized tho duckies
: lir e apparent of England by the"?cniff
i of llie neck," olevnted one of her fe-t
upon tho sofa, hoisted the youngster
i over her knee, adjusted him in the position
mutually familiar to parents, and
and" children generally, when such ceremonies
are to be performed, and garo
.him a sound spanking. It is an interesting
fact lhat the illustrious sufferer
kicked ntid bellowed under tbe afflictive
di-pensalion, quite as lustily as children
oflowej- birth. The atnazed silence
i with which the spectators witnessed the
i example of royal discipline,was suddenly
broken by a tremendous roar of laughter
which could not be suppressed by any
thought of decorum, of respect for tho
Queen, or sympathy for the victim of
her displeasure. The explosion recalled
the roynll math or to a sense of her
position and having turned round toward
the crowd for a moment, her fsco
i suffused with crimson, she hastily doi
scelided into the cabin, and was seen no
more by :he expectant population."

Democrat tells of a handsome
i young woman residing thero, who, like,
all of her class, is postered with suitors.
On Monday last.(washing day,)one camo
along. She was up to the elbows in
suds, and opened the door with a determination
to say something harsh,
thought better of it, and said to tba
handsome young man:
: 41 Good morning, Mr. John Smith ; I
am very glad to see you, should bejflad
to have j ou come in, but the fact is, I
am busy in the kitehei* washing."
1 44 Ah ! no matter," he answered. 44 T
will sit a little while in there ; you can
just go on with your work the same; I
delight to get into tho kitchen, it is so
1 pleasant and home-like."'
If ho was delighted, so whs not the wid1
ow. She gave him a chair, and chatted
away quite merrily, however at the same
1 time, seemingly very much engaged
1 with the work before her. Presently
she took nn a large sized wash-basin
' nnd filled it with hot suds from the boiler
> on the Stove, and stepping to a table,
1 tookntp a boquet that was lying fher 1
on, and in t o most innocent manner
conceivable, asked tlier gentleman if In*
could tell tho botanical name of m.j i.f
1 tho flowers contained therein. Of
I course he rose from the chair and stepr
ped forward to examine it. Tho tnalif
cious woman adroitly set down the basin
in the vacated seat. Then she rivited
his gaze with ono of her sweetest
j smiles, and presented to him the boqno'*, '
{ i and begged ho would kocp it for h< r
