HOW AN OLD SAILOR TALKED TO A
CHILD.
We clip the following from Mrs. Stowe's
story, i/ow being published in the New,
York IniTrprndcnt. It is an old sailor
talking to iiis grand-duughlor:
“ Father,” said Sally, “how many
things there 1 must be at the bottom of the
sea —so many ships, Arc sunk with all llicir
fine things onboard? Why don’t people
contrive .some way to go down and get
them V’
“ They do, child,” said Capt. Kittridge,
“they have diving-bells, and men go down
in ’em, with caps over their faces, and long
tubes to get air through, and they walk
about on the bottom of the ocean.
“ Did you ever go down in one father ?”
“Why-yes, child, to be sure; ilnd
strange enough it was, to be sure. There
you could see great big sea-critters; with
ever so mauy eyes and long arms, swim
ming right'up v to catch you; and all you
could do would be to muddy the water at
the bottom, so they could not see you.” |
f( I never heard Of that, Captain Kit-1
tridge,” , said his wife, drawing herself up ;
with reproving coolness.
“ Wa’l, Mias KUiridge, you hu’nt heard
ofeverything that ever happened, though
you do know a sight.” !
“ And bow does the bottom of the ocean
look, father ?”
“ LaWs, child ! why trees and bushes
grow there just as they grow Onland; and
i great plants—blue, and purple, and green,
i and yellow, and pearls. I’ve seen them
| as big'wcnippin’ birds’ e^’gsW
| , ,‘CI bay o—as eggs, too ;
Imt'thera was off the coast of Oeylon and
Malabar, and way )ij»der the Eqna-
I tor,”, said
1 ing tq a sußwhqtt
: distance! i ■■ k i
i “It’s a pity yott didttH g«fe a ’em,
pMrU,”’ |4id|»s
a|tpeapnco it * **: ~ '"
“ I did get lots on ’em, and traded ’em
[independent in evertthieo]
off to the nabobs in the interior for Cash
mere shawls, and India silks and sich,”
said the Captain composedly, “ and then
brought ’em home and sold ’em for a good
figure, too.”
“ Oh, father,” said Sally, earnestly, “ I
wish you had saved just one or two for
>r
Ud.
.U. C. BERN,
“ Laws, child, I wish now I had,”* said
the Captain, good naturedly. “Why,
when I was in India, I went up in Lock
now and Benares, and saw all the nabobs
and big-gnns —why, they don’t make no
more of gold and silver and precious stones
than we do of the shell that we find on
the beach. Why. I’vo seen one of them
fellers with a diamond in his turban as big
as my fist.”
“ Captain Kiftridgo, what are you tel
ling y" said his wife once more.
“ Fact—as big as my fist,” said the
Captain obdurately; “ and all the clothes
he,wore was just a stiff crust of pearls and
precious stones. 1 tell you he looked like
something in the Revelations —a real New
Jerusalem look ho had ”
2 50 4 00 7 00
i 00 6 00 10 CO
“ 1 call that ar talk wicked, Cap’n-Kit
tridge, usin’ senptur that ar way,” said
his wife.
“ Why, don’t it tell about all sorts of
gold and precious stones in the Revela
tions said the Captain; “that’s all I
meant. Them ar countries off Asia aint
like to reason they should
not be, theta’s Scripture countries, and
everything is different tbar.”
“ Father, did you ever get any of those
splendid things said Sally.
“ Laws, yes, child. Why, I had a great
green ring, an emerald, that one of the
princes giv’ me, and ever so many pearls
and diamonds. I used to go with ’em rat
tlin’ in my vest pocket. I was young and
gay in them days, and thought of bring
in’ of’em Lome to the gals, but somehow
I always got opportunities for swoppin’ of
’em off for goods and sich. Thatar shawl
your mother seeps in her camiire chiot is
what 1 got for one on ’em,”
“ Well, well,” said Mrs. Kittridge,
“ there’s never any catchin’ you, eausc
you’ve been where we haven’t.”
Religion has made greater progress In
the United States; than in any other na
tion of modern times. A writer in: the
Lutheran Observer states, that in the year
lliuO the proportion of the population to
the memembere of the Evangelical church
es, was thirteen to one. In 1775, before
the commencement of the Revolutionary
War, when the entire population was just
3,000,000, one to sixteen was connected
with the churches. From the commence-,,
meat of the war till 1702, the whole coun
try was convulsed, and the number of pro
fessors at the latter period, to the entire
population, one to eighteen. In 1800
the population was 5,005,040, and by rea
son of the growth of French Infidelity and
Unitarianisni) the same proportion was
preserved. About the year 1809 .exten
sive and powerful revivals took .pl’acOygud
multitudes were gathered into the Church.
This was soon felt, and in 1825, the pop-'
ulation being 10,500,000, one out of four
teen was a professor of religion. In 1854
the population being about 26,500,000, wo
have one professor of religion to six and
three-eights. Within the last five years
the accessions have £eeh so great that the
Church members' now number one to five
and- a half of the entire population. ; :
There is much said just now in favor
of our “ glorious Constitution.” The
most glorious fact about it is.the freedom
of religion which it guarantees. Under
this freedom the “voluntary principle”
has had full play, and the above figures
show the result, hut not all the rcsu]t, for
what a religious power has gone forth
from this land into the rest of the world!
Not only by its missions, but indirectly by
its example, has it been influencing the
general prospects of Christendom. God

ORIGIN OF THEGYPSIES.
The Gypsies aro not Egyptians, as ir
commonly supposed, but are o t the lowest
class of Indians among the estates of llin
dostap, co&mdnly called Tartars, or in
Hindostan, Sundars. They are found in
Persia, Turkey, Russia, Hutigary, and
most of the continehtal nations, amount
ing to more than 700,000; they all speak
one language, differing only jn a slight
degree from each other, as thd provincial
accents of a kingdom may differ, and as
this language is nearly the same, theHin
dostanco. The emigration of this people
from their own country is attributed to the
war of Timour Beg, in ludif, (408) at
which period their arrival in Europe is
confirmed by historical authorities. So
cruel was the conqueror, that 100,000,
who surrendered as slaves, yjero put to
death; in consequence ot whicli a univer
sal panic seized the inhabitant?, and they
fled in all directions, the Sundars gradu
ally finding their way Into Europe. The
features of the Gypsies plainlysnow their
Eastern origin; but they had Ip well con
trived to dupe the European Inhabitants
that, until the advancement bf Oriental
literature, their country couhl never bo
clearly traced; Tn England, where they
arrived in the time of Henry VIII., they
met the taste of the vulgar by pretended
skill in astrology, and the-arttif palmistry,
bringing with them their native tricks of
juggling. That the Gypsies are of the
race mentioned, can scarcely he doubted,
when we put all the reasons together for
establishing the theory. The date of the
scattering of the Indian tribes by Timour
Beg, agrees with that of their emigration
to Europe } • their language accords with
that of liindostanee; their poyspns strong
ly resemble the people of that icountry—
so much so, that the troops of ,Hindostan
struck the British officers wjth i surprise
when they joined their armicf,as soncar
j ly resembling theso pepple, aqd their ous
| toms and mode of life in every respect aro
peifectly in accordance with those of the
Sundars; both are filthy apd disgusting
in their habits; both are given to steal;
both dislike to communicate tbbfr language
to strangers ; they are tethai%ably;fiintf of
horses; they prefer food killed by disease;
they have similar dances, simi
lar vices,-they are alike wanderers, and
are averse to civilized life ; thfcy dually
dislike agricultural pursuits, and practice
music, or travel about with thqir tinker’s
tools, ready to work'at every door; their
marriage customs are similar. The belief
that the. Egyptians wfeno. Gypsies arose
from the report circulated by. the first of
them, that they,werq pilgrims from Egypt

A Lady Duellist.—A curious case is
related as baying taken place at Berlin.
At.a first class hotel in that city, a politi
cal discussion arose at the table (Vhoic,
which grew rqthcr warm, dating which
some personal remarks wsrh passed be
tween twp young men, hitheripiatrangers.
They left the table, and cards were ex
changed; the result was that the young
man, a stranger to Berlin, sent a letter, {
requesting, a duo provision of pistols.—
The lttter, Lpweycr, fel! into the hands
of the sistpr of the young main, who con
ceived the notion qf,upper
sonating her- bvpthcr* ; tq whopi she is de
voutly atfaohcd, the idea of danger to him
being more insupportable than death to
her. As she is very like her; brother, she
trusted the truth would no£ hd djscOverod;
and she actually appeared" oa the field at
the appointed hour. The place of meet
irig was that where Herr Voh Hihklfdjr
was killed some two or three years ago.
The opponent was, however, hotfdeecivcd
by this false appropriation 1 of the panta
loons, though wilting, out of prahagtiy, to
humor the fair one, and ff igbtenheT'lbr
her frolic; so be took his place, and as he
obtained the right of the firstfire, levelled
his pistol at bis fair antagonist for a time.
She did not much, however; andhewas
forced at hut to fire into the air. The tom -
of the lady came, and she was in uovi&e
nervous about using her rights, and shot
the young man in the shoulder. The
wound was slight. The matter w inrtio
hands of the police, and the newspapers
have. scent of it; as appears! fromapara

A few months agoshe was attacked with

and we shall give it here. When Lola went
to California as an actress, she engaged
on agent. This centlesoan was a married
naan, with' fw children, and seeing him
unhappy in their absence, she presented
him with sufficient moffey to bring them
and their mother on. . Shortly after their
nmvalthe husband died. Lola then adopt
ed the widow and orphans, sending the
Hitter to Mrs. Willard's Seminary, at Troy.
An officer of the US. N.fell in love with
one oi the girls, and Lola, literally acting
in lw» parentis, approved of his suit.—
During her last visit to England the mar
riage took place.
Lola did net again encounter her protege
.(who accompanied her husband to « da
taut State, whore hewandettined oa duty,)
unto, a recent, period.when ahemet her
walking down ftcoadway,, .in,.; company
with a lady of the highest ton. With her
usual impulsiveness, Lola rushed to her
young friend—literally the child of her
charity—as to embrace her. Theyouug
lady coldly drew back and said, “ hfadam,
Ido not know you!” “ Not know me! I
am Lola—Lola Montezl” “ Madam,” she
answered, as she turned coldly away, “ I
do not know you, 1 neve'r saw you before,
and if you persist in speaking to me I wfll
call a policeman .' r Lola then went home,
“more in sorrow than in anger,” and that
same day had the grst attack of paraTysid,
which, a few days ago destroyed her.—
