From "Our Israelitish Brethren," by James Parton, we make this extract: Did the reader ever try to compute what it has coBt our Israelitish brethren to keep two Sundays a week, and four sets of holidays a year ? Besides tbeir own religious and national festivals, they have been compelled, f;enerally under ruinous penalties, to abstain rom business on those of the countries in which they have dwelt. Thus in Catholic countries, for several centuries, they were obliged to be idle: 1. Fifty-two Sundays; 2. Thirty holidays of obligation; 3. Fifty-two Saturdays or Sabbaths ; 4. An average of twelve other holidays of their own; total, one hundred and forty-six days per annum, or about two days in every five. In Protest ant countries, the usual number of idle days, including their fifty-two Saturdays and twelve festivals and fasts, has beon one hundred and ten, or about two days in every eix. In other words, the Jews in Catholic countries have been obliged, by law and con science, to abstain from business nearly three days a week, and in Protestant countries a little more than two. Of late years, since Catholics have become much less strict in the observance of Sundays and holidays, the Jews suffer more inconvenience in Pro testant than in Catholio lands. The rigor of the Scotch and the Puritan Sunday is espe cially grievous to them, even to the present hour; while in Paris, Hamburg, and Vienna Sunday is, in some branches of business, the best day of the week. This fact of the double set of holidays would alone have sufficed to exclude them from agriculture. A ripe harvest will not wait from Friday till Monday for any of our scruples; and two good planting days lost in a late, wet spring would often make the dif ference between a crop and no crop. Fancy a market-gardener in strawberry time, or a florist in May, obliged to cease work half an hour before sunset Friday afternoon, and unable to offer anything for sale till Monday morning! Even the thirty Catholio holidays of obligation placed the farmers of Catholio countries under a disad vantage that was obvious to all who lived near the line dividing a Catholic from a Pro testant country. Voltaire, who lived for thirty years close to the frontier of France, within two miles of Protestant Geneva, dwells upon this in many a passage of ex quisite satire. Headers remember the scene in which the priest rushes from the tap-room, "red witn wrath and wine," to rebuke the yeoman who had "the insolence and impiety" to plough his field on a Saint's day, "instead of going to the tavern and drinking like the rest of the ariBh. The poor gentleman was ruined; he eft the country with his family and servants, went to a foreign land, turned Lutheran, and his lands remained uncultivated for many years." If thrifty extrajholidays were a seri ous injury to French farmers, it will not be questioned that ninety-four made agriculture an impossible pursuit to Israelites. Let us accompany a good orthodox Jewish family through their calm and cheerful Sab bath, and see how they keep it and enjoy it. I select an orthodox family, instead of a "Re formed," merely because the orthodox Jew is an historical person; as he keeps his Sabbath, his fathers have kept it for many centuries. The Jewish Sabbath begins on Friday evening half an hour before sunset, and ends on Saturday evening half an hour after sun set, or when a star is visible in the sky. On Friday, the day of preparation, the women and girls of the family are busy in providing for the morrow the best food of the week; for whatever is eaten or drank during the joy ous sacred hours must be the very best the family can afford. Poor Jews will pinch all the week in order that their wives and chil dren may have something delicious to eat on the Sabbath. But that savory food must be cooked or prepared for cooking before the Sabbath begins; for our Israelitish brethren observe with just strictness the law which gives rest on the Day of Rest to their ser vants. They shame us in this particular. They will not use even their horses on their Sabbath. On a Sunday, about 12 M., you may see in front of Dr. Adams' fashionable Presbyterian church, in Madison Square, New York, or around Dr. Tyng's fashionable Epis copal church, in St. George's Square of the same city, from twenty to forty well-appointed equipages wait ing for the last hymn to be finished; hut you will never see a vehicle before the superb Temple Immanuel, a Jewish syna gogue in the Fifth avenue, although there are many families within who could ride home, if they would, in their own carriages. I do not say that the Christians are wrong or the Jews right in this. It is no one's busi ness but their own. But if we borrow the Hebrew's word "Sabbath," and adopt, ver bally, their Sabbatical law, eur practice per haps ought to conform in some degree to our profession. It probably does not severely tax those coachmen and footmen to show off their gay turnouts and brilliant liverios on a fine Sunday morning in the Fifth avenue. But for the heavy-laden drudges of the boarding-house kitchen, and the maid-of-all work in average families, I could wish we were all Jews from Saturday night till Monday morn ing. It is a dastardly Bhame to compel or permit women, who have faithfully toiled for ns from Monday's tub to Saturday s scrub, to work hard all through the best hours of San day merely that we may gorge ourselves with dainty food. The Jews avoid this barbarous meanness. Their servants rest on their Sabbath. rom Professor T. B. Maury's pperon "The New American Polar Expedition and Its Hopes" we quote the following reference to the Kuro Siwo, or great for current of Japan: So much for the Gulf Stream. Let nt turn Bow to the Kuro Siwo, the other factor in th j result claimed by the new theory for a ther xnometrio approach to the Pole. The Equa torial Current of the Pacific is wider and grander even than that of the Atlantic It is the 'parent stream, out of which bo many ether bodies of water obtain their volume. It moves, as do all such currents of the ocean, on the line of a great circle, and this circle intersects the equator at an acute angle of only a few degrees. It sweep to the westward, in "uninterrupted grandeur," as one expresses it, around three-eighths of the circumference of the globe, until diverted by the continent of Asia, and split into in numerable streams by the Polynesian Islands. Reaching the Ladrones it imparts a much warmer climate than it ha9 given to the Sandwich or Marquesas. The Philippines are made oppressively hot even in winter, and one familiar with it has said: "The fervor increases as we reach Malacca, is all aglow in India, and becomes stifling in its intensity as these equatorial waters, after travelling fifteen thousand miles and being fully three hundred days under a vertical Bun, are thrown against the eastern shores of Africa." This equatorial current is as broad as the Torrid Zone, and out of it comes the Kuro Siwo. The latter possesses a temperature more striking in its contrast with the surrounding waters than does the Gulf Stream of the Atlantic. Striking off at Formosa from the great Equatorial, it moves with majestio powers, heedless of the fiercest gale, and to the eye of the thoughtful observer id bjut upon the discharge of some rnn.uentous mission. Beaching the fortieth parallel of north lati tude, its surface is swept by the "brave west winds" of the northern hemisphere. It now seems to turn aside from its course, and curve away to the American shores. On the track of its northeasterly flow the map-maker writes another name, as if some mighty power had diverted it. Bat it has not been turned; only a little of its foamy surface has been borne along in the easterly set. The vast torrent is only skim med. The recurvation which pours around the southern coasts of Alaska, and laves the western shores of Sitka Island, is but a drift. The tremendous bulk of equatorial water rushes on in a changeless course. It is mov ing in obedience to a steady and Almighty hand. Every drop feels the impulse of a force it cannot resist. Every drop is lighter than the drop of polar water with which it is hastening to exchange places, lest the equili brium of nature be overthrown. But on its way it receives every moment an impact from the earth's rotation. And thus it moves on the line of a great circle to tha northeast, and entering Bohr ing's Sea knocks for admission at the very gates of the Polar Ocean. In its course its pathway is strewed with the marks of its thermal and climatic power. If the Gulf Stream has clothed Ireland with its robe of verdure, and made it the "Emerald Isle," the Kuro Siwo has done as much for the Aleutian Islands and Alaska. They are mantled with living green. The flocks scarcely need shelter in winter. If their soil is treeless, their Gulf Stream richly supplies them with timber for their canoes, and camphor-wood of J apan and China for their fur niture. The October number of The Riverside Magazine has, among other illustrations, a capital drawing by II. L. Stephens of "The Hat in Retirement," from La Fontaine's fables. The literary contents of this popular magazine are, as usual, up to a high standard of excellence. The Little Corporal for October presents an excellent variety of reading matter for young people. It has for a frontispiece a very careful and elegant' design byE. B. Ben sell entitled "The Watering Trough," which bas been beautifully engraved by Lauder bach. The Schoolday Visitor for October is nicely illustrated, and is filled with attractive stories and pictures which will please the young people. From W. B. Zieber we have received the October and concluding number of Hourt at Home, which hereafter will be merged, with Putnam's Magazine, into Scribner's Monthly. The September number of The Bureau has a variety of admirable articles on subjects connected with political, economical, and social subjects. The Bureau is the great protectionist organ of the West, and it is especially worthy of the cordial support of Pennsylvanians who are interested in com bating the free-trade heresy. HARPER'S."

"Editor's Drawer." From Rev. Jaoob Abbott's article on the "Spectroscope" we quote the following: Every different substance, so far as is known, has its spectrum marked by its own peculiar and charaoteristio lines. Even those which have never been analyzed, and so are classed ty tne cnemisis as simpie suosianoes, have usually more than one, which seems to indicate that they are really compounds, aud that their actual elements have not been ascertained. This being so, and as the pho tosphere of the sun contains a great number of elements, the number of these lines in the Bolar Bpectrum is very great. It requires, how ever, great .delicacy and exactness in the prism, and in the arrangement of the apparatus for observing them, to bring them into view. Sir Isaao Newton, as early as 1075, suooeeded in forming a spectrum whioh showed the Erismatic colors; but his apparatus and is method were too imperfect to bring the lineB into view. Dr. Wollastoh, in the early part of this century, was the first to do this, and to him is accordingly ascribed the honor of first discovering the existence of the lines. Afterwards, by means of great improvements made in the construction of optical instruments, the celebrated optician Frauenhofer, as we have already seen, brought a great many more into view, and made a map of the Bpeotrum, in which he laid down the positions of about six bun- dred of them. This map excited great atten- 1 tion throughout Europe, as has already been stated, and the linen were long known as Frauenhofer's lines, though no one had the least idea of the cause or of the significance of them, excepting that surmises were made by different observers that there was some connection between the position and charac ter of the lines and the chemical constitution of the substances from whioh the light ema nated. The number of lines since brought to view in the solar spectrum is more than six thousand! Nothing can be more wonderful than the inconceivable delicacy of the test which the spectrum, fully developed and microscopically observed, affords. It detects the presence of quantities of an element so exceedingly mi nute as to be wholly inappreciable by any other means. One of the most curious illus trations of this fact is afforded by the dis covery of two new metals in a certain Geroian mineral water, by Professor Bunsen, in 18i0 metals which existed in the water in quanti ties so exceedingly minute that by no other possible means than spectral analysis could their presence have been detected. Hansen was led, to suspect the existenoe of some new element in the water by observing two bright lines in the spectrum produced by a flame in which the alkalies left by the evaporation of a portion of the water had been introduced which lines he had never observed in any other spectrum. The ordi nary chemical tests gave no indications of the presence of such elements. This Bunsen attributed to the minuteness of the quanti ties; and in order to increase the quantities so as to bring the substances within the reach of the usual methods of analysis, he went to work to evaporate no less than forty-five tons of the water, and from the residue thus obtained he succeeded in obtaining an appre ciable quantity of the metals in question. The names given to them are cwsium and rubidium. Another very curious instance of the deli cacy of this test is afforded in the case of sodium, the spectrum of which is very re markable, and is characterized by one line in particular by which exceedingly minute quantities can be detected. Now sodium is one of the most universally diffused sub stances in natnre. It is one of the constit nent elements of common salt, and so exists in enormous quantities in the ocean. And as two-thirds of the surface of the earth is covered with water, and as the winds are continually carrying up a fine spray from the crests of the waves into the air, the water of this spray in evaporating leaves the air full of infinitesimally minute particles of salt, which pervade the atmosphere everywhere, aud form, as it were, a portion of its very sub stance. And although the quantity of sodium thus present is too small to be detected in ordinary cases by any of the usual chemical tests, it reveals itself in the spectrum when ever the minutest quantity of dust which has subsided from the atmosphere is thrown into the flame. The following account of take from the paper on Psalmanazar we "Literary For- geries:" Psalmanazar died in 17G3, some years be fore Chatterton. In some respects he was yet more remarkable; with less genius, doubt less, without even talent or real literary apti tude, he displayed a fertility of invention hardly to be surpassed. Psalmanazar, to speak correctly, was not a fabricator of autographs; he was more and less than that the inventor of a language, of a chirography what da I say? of a nation. But his life was yet more wonderful than his inventions. It is all a romance. This romance he has written; we possess his autobiography, yet we do not knew his name! Out of regard for his family he has sought to conceal it, and he has carried his secret with him: we shall never know who he was, nor even whence he was. It is sup posed, however, that he was born in the south of France, in Languedoc or Provence. His family was poor, his father established at a distance, in Germany. George had been brought up with the Jesuits, then with the Dominicans; having finished his theological course, he was reoeived as preceptor in seve ral families. But he had indolent and ad venturous tastes. He was not slow to adopt the role of religious impostor, no doubt in order to profit by his theological studies. We find him borrowing, begging, traversing Provence, on his way to Rome; repairing to Germany; playing the part some times of a converted Huguenot, sometimes of an Irish student, or, again, of a pilgrim. He ran many risks, came near being shot as a spy, fell into the depths of misery, and be held himself covered with sores and vermin. From adventure to adventure, from knavery to knavery, George arrived at the grand fraud of his life. Finding himself in a Protestant country, he oonld remain neither pilgrim nor Catholio; he gave himself out as a Japanese from the island of Formosa, taken to Europe, he said, by Dutch merchants. Formosa was very little known; the young impostor re called, as well as possible, such accounts of J apan as he had heard among the Jesuits; then, upon this slight canvas, he began to embroider a whole world of fancy. He fab ricated a so-called language of Formosa, an alphabet for writing it, a grammar to explain the rules. He made a new division of the year into twenty months. He invented a new religion, with a book of prayers, and went so far as to worship the rising and set ting sun, with all sorts of forms and mum meries. Final y, he accustomed himself to eat raw meat. The idea of doubting the veracity of a man who ate raw meat, and who wrote fluently in characters whioh no one knew ! Meanwhile Psalmanazar (such was the name he had adopted on be coming Japanese, and which he retained to the end of his life) had met another rogue, who conceived the plan of profiting by him. This person, named Innes, was chaplain of a Scotch regiment then in garrison at Sluis, in Holland. It was here that Psalmanazar made his acquaintance, and that they became inti mate. It is probable that lanes at first had been himself deceived by the false Japanese, and it is certain that he soon discovered the fraud; however, he did not abandon his de signs on that account. Innes took up Psalmanazan, taught him Eng lish, carried him to England, showed him to the Bishop of London, baptized him with much ceremony, and, altogether, managed bo well that he ended by obtaining from the bishop, as a reward for services rendered to religion, a living in the county of Essex. Psalmanazar, under suoh patron age, could not fail to develop his happy gifts and ingenious knaveries. He hastened to translate the English catechism into the For modan language, and had the pleasure of beholding the Bishop of London acoord a gracious reception to this work. It was sub mitted to saians, who savin it nothing out of the way. io whom oouid it occur to sus pect a young man of twenty of so colossal an imposture f Not that there were not, here and there, weak points in the system of the Formosian. It is impossible to be forewarned of every thing: he had forgotten to give names to the letters of bis alphabet, which cansed him some embarrassment. He had be lieved that the Japanese wrote from right to left, like other Oriental nations, which fur nished another argument against him. He had asserted, rather carelessly, that the in habitants of Formosa sacrificed eighteen thou sand male infants every year; aari when it was represented to him that, at this rate, the island would long before have been depopu lated, he had no oher answer than an obstinate perseveranoe in his declaration; he had early formed the resolution never to retract. Psal manazar, however, understood what he owed to the public, and he crowned all his frauds by a new and gigantio one, "An Historical and Geographical Description of the Island of Formosa, with an Explanation of the Reli gion, Customs, and Manners of the Inhabit ants. By George Psalmanazar, a Native of that Island." The work appeared at London, in the English language, in 1704, and was soon translated into French and German. In the French it passed through three or four editions. It was adorned by the famous al phabet, a map of the island, plates represent ing divinities of the country, costumes, reli gious ceremonies, edifices, and vessels. DRY QOOD8.
