“Aodyieldyour fruit to my people of Israel. ”
Th* ttflits are the Gospelof the Saviour and the
blessipgs of liberty, which are offered to the Jew

■‘Tor they are at hand to come.'' They were

proves;to mankind the superiority of American
Israel over the Israel of Judea, and slums this
continent to be .the long promised land of restora
tion. • i
This land was to be inhabited by a jmople gath

America, which is I icing restored from her long
lost grandeur. “And is gathered out of many
people.” This cannot refer to Judea, for she claims
to be made up of but one people, but American is
a natioil gathered out of many people, and fulfills
to the letter the prophecy of Gom
"To- turn iheir hand U)on the desolate places

little More than discme.rcd'uritil the,fountains of
emigration were opened, and from every, nation,

stream of mankind, crowding. ouy_ports and cov
ering oitr shores with multitudes gathered ont of
the nations, to denizen onr soil and become the
citizens of freedom anil the children of the prom
ised land.
Agaih, W speaking of the restored Israel, the
prophet exclaims':—“Lift up thine eyes round
about, and see: all they that gather themselves
together, they come to thee: thvsons shalTcome
from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thv
side. Then shall thou see and-flow together and
thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because
the abundance of the sea shall be convened unto
thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto
thee.”-Isaun lx ; 4th and sth.
“Lift.up thine eyes roundabout, and see: all
they that gather themselves together." The world
has never witnessed sneh a gathering together of
the people, out of all hntions, as'that going on in
America.
“They-, come to thee." They come, by hundreds
and thousands to enjoy onr liberty and make our
country -their home. "Thy sons shall come from
far.” They come from every quarter of the globe ;
they come from the tealms of distant Asia, from
the kingdoms of shackled Europe, from the burn
ing sands of Africa, add from the isles of the
ocean ; they come to populate onr vast domain and
fill the prohecy of God.
“Then shall thon see and flow together.” As
one people, they shall sis: eye to eye, and flow to
gether into one great and illustrious nation.
“The abundance of the sea shall bo converted
unto thee." That is, the trade of the seas, the
commerce of the ocean, and the martinets of the

WHhe land of restoration was to be enlarged and

as wjth an ornament, apd bind them on thee as a

A professor of universal knowledge had a prince,
who suddenly came in upon the pretender, and put
his wisdom to the test:
“So thou knowest all things,” said the king:
then tell me to-morrow morning these three things
only, or thou shall lose thy bead. .
First—how many baskets of earth there are in
yonder mountain? Secondly—how ranch is the
king worth ? And thirdly, what is he thinking of
at the time.
The professor was distressed beyond measure,
and in his appaVtment_ rolled upon the carpet in
agony, fot* he knew tha’t he must die on the mor
row. His servant learned the trouble and offered
to appear before the king and take his chance of
answering the questions.
The next morning the servant, clothed in his
master's robes, presented himself to his majesty,,
who was deceived by bis appearance and the king
proceeded ;
“Tell me, now, how many baskets of earth are
in yonder mountain ?”
“That depends qpon circumstances. If the bas
kets arc as large as the mountain, one will hold it,
if half as large, .two, if quarter, four ; and so on.”
The king had to be satisfied and proceeded.
“Now, tell me how ranch the king is worth ?”
Well your majesty, the king of Henverir and
Earth was sold for thirty pieces of silver, and I con
clude you are worth one piece.”
This was so witty an escape, that the king
laughed and went on!
“Now once more, tell me what lam thinking
off"
■ “Vou are thinking that you are talking with the
professor, whereas it is only his servant.
“Well done,” said the king, “yon shall have
your reward, and your master shall not lose his
head.”

A BJBMABKABM STOBY.
A Litter from Palmyra, N. Y., to the Roches--
ter Eijirfsi, tolls this curious stoty:
A remarkable (leap year) courtship and mar
riage came ofTin our quiet village last week, re-'
suiting disastrously to all the parties canceled.—
The whole case ii not so (pUy developed ag to en
able one to give a full relation. It seem that a
Miss C; M., a highly respected young lady of
twenty years, had becnholding a correspondence
with a young officer in .a military camp in New
Jersey,-who bad sent toy. an introdocfoiy letter
vouching for his respectabjjity. Said letter .was
written by an acquaintance of here, who also was
an officer. Several letters passed, hi sending bis
photograph, and a reqnest for her photogiapb.—-
All this was very pleasant and huaomble. .
On Monday of last week a young. and rather
prepossessing man of about . twepty-flye years,
dressed; in militaiy clothes, arrived here and
called on the lady, and announced himself ps ’ her.
dear correspondent. He was cordially received
as such by Miss C. M , notwithstanding the par
ties failed tp discover any similarity of likeness
between him and the photograph, but that be ex
plained to her satisfaction by saying it wag taken
before he went into the service, three years ago.
Monday and Tuesday things went on lovingly,
and ho visited the morning prayer-meetings, sang,
spoke, and all were greatly edified thereby.. The ;
account he gave of himself was that he hail re- ;
signed about four months previous, was now a
deputy .provost Marshal, was atVieksburg when
taken , prisoner, an inmate of Libby prison eight
months, and was in the Gettysburg fight.
On Tuesday night, much against the wishes of
parents and friends, they were married. The
next day he began to look after some workmen'
to paint and paper bis new father-in-law's house:
His bargain with the painters was fair, show
ing plenty of greenbacks, and offered to pay
down on fulfilment of the contract: He looked at
a number of fine residences, but failed to strike a.
barguiir. In conversation with the clergyman
who married them, be slated that be had lost on
Main street, $5OO, but being a stranger, and hav
ing already gained some 'notoriety,'he would not
advertise it; u he did not dire for the money.”
He claimed to be the .owner of a farm of two hun
hundred acres, near Elmira. Friday .afternoon,
Mr. Officer, who had already assumed two or
three names, procured a carriage and horse of Mr.
Sweeney, of the Eagle, and drove out, but did
not, it seems, return as per agreement. In the
morning, a letter arrived for the bride, which was
opened by the parents, and founddo be from her
true correspondent, the owner of ’the photograph.
This document resulted in sending officer’s Clark
and Howe in pursuit of the team and deluded
bride. At Canandaigua he was arrested, ironed,
and piaced*n durance vile. The eyes of the late
Miss C. M. being opened, she upbraided him for
his deceit, and declared she would: return home,
which she did. Theyoung scamp was knocked
down; before he would yield. To officer Clark he
confessed be was a deserter form the armv, and
wished him to call the provost marshal, preferring
to fail into their bands. Officer Clark deetnitig
it proper to nolifiy the provost, did so.. During
the few minutes absence the prisoner had wrenched
off his irons and buried such papers in bis posses
sion as he thought proper. He is certainly a most
accomplished villian. The: affair has caused
much excitement. It is due the parents of the
misguided young lady to say that they were op-'
posed to the hasty "marriage, and insisted on a
week’s time, but the couple were determined, and
threatened to go somewhere else to have the cere
mony consnmated, and fearing that they would
make the affair more ridiculous-, they reluctantly
and fearfully consented.
An Ice Jam at Niagara Falls.
The Niagara Falls Gazette baa the following in
relation to an exeiting scene which took. place
there a few days since;—A change from the pre-'
vailing - easterly wind to the opposite quarter,
brought down immense quantities of iee from the
lake last Wednesday night. For the first .time, we'
believe, in the recollection of the “oldest inhabi
tants,” the ice formed a complete dam across the
rapids between the bridge and the upper end of
Goat Island. With the. except ion of a few- rods in
width; near the main shore, the rocks below the
ice dam were bare; It was safe walking where
usually flows an impetnons flood. And yet it was
not quite so safe, as was proved Thursday morn
ing, when several young men walidcred over the
barren rocks, and visited a boat that bad been
lodged there for several weeks. . While enjoying a
walk, which we of this generation may never again
hear of being done, the iee dam gave away, arid
the vast volume of water, probably from five to ten
feet deep, came rushing through. The dam soon
disappeared, and the boat that bad Remained fixed
against the ordinary torrent, was Swept away and
over the cataract. Of course there .was a hurrying
toward the island shore and the paper mill pier.—
Some, escaped with a little wetting and a big seare,
while others barely escaped with their . lives. A
young man named Bartow was obliged to leap
from one to another of the floating cakes of ice,
and fully .appreciating the necessity of making land
before being carried too near the Catpract, lost no
time |n leaping from the last cakcorid swimming
several rods to shore. Those who witnessed' the
scene describe it as exceedingly exciting. It oc
curred at an early hour in- thomoming, and hence.
was seen fay but few of our citizens:
ggfWhen John Brown, D. D, first settled in

proved abortive.
