I - ... —. - - ■ A SLNDAY IN j A valet-tit-who was leading us to church ou Sunday morning in Madrid, i spoke very fair English, and I asked him where he had learned it. He said: "At the missionary's school in Constantinople ' He was quite a polyglot, professing to be able ito speak seven languages fluently. It was nteresting to meet a youth who knew our I missionaries there, and entertained a great respect for his old teachers. —and it gave us an idea, too. of the indirect influence which such schools must be exerting, when I youth are trained in them, and afterwards embark in other callings than those that are ; teligious in their purpose. lie led us to the Prussian Ambassador's, , where the chaplain preaches in the French language. No Protestant preaching is ai lowed in Madrid—none, indeed, in Spain, —except under the flag of another Govern i meat. The Ambassador, or the Consul, has the right, of course, to regulate his own household as he pleases; aDd under : this necessary privilege, he has, if he is so disposed, a chaplain, and divine service on Sunday, when his doors are opened to ail who choose to attend. The practical wor king of it is that a regular congregation couies to be established under each flag, if : there are so many persons of that country . and of a religions tendency as to make it important. In most of the great capitals of Europe, there are people of other conn tries resident for business, health, or pleas : ore. and they hod a place of worship in their own tongue. In Spain and Rome only.—write it in large letters and tell all the world, to the infinite shame of the re ligion iai-ely called Catholic. —no religious worship is allowed, except that which the : Ambassador, under the flag of his country, can maintain in his own house and at the point of his country's sword. The Germans resident in Madrid speak the Freuch language, as weil as their own. and the present chaplain preaches in Freuch. lie is an earnest, excellent man. and bis pulpit abilities would make him greatly usetul in a wider sphere 'haa th's. In an upper chamber, that would seat fifty persons, a little congregation, not more ;dian twelve or fifteen, Lad eotue together to hear the Word. The desk, or pulpit, was habited after the fashion m Germany, with black hanging-, eiubroidnred neatly by the hands of the wile of the Prussian Ambassador, and with the words in French, "Go ye int all the world ami preach the Gospel.'' I wa-Jtoid that on Christmas and Easter, festi | vaisof the Church, some two or three hun dreds of Get man Christiam come to church and to the communion: but the rest of the year their spiritual wants do not require the weekly ordinances, and the congregation I rarely exceeds thirty peopie. At the present moment, there is as little religious toleration in Spain as ia the days when Popery was most fearfully alive and i Cardinal Ximeoes undertook to eonvert all heretics by means of the faggot and fire. There are Bibles in Spain, but there are no Bibies in circulation. Several thousand sent over by the British and Foreign Bible Society have been seized by Government, and are now lying in boxes in a cellar, to be sent back or destruyed. All attempts to spread the light of Divine Truth, through any other than the channels of the Church of Rome, are prohibited, and it is a high crime against the law, or the royal will, which is the highest iaw id Spain, to preach or distribute religious books. This puts an end to ail colpartage and to evangelical efforts of every kind. The Queen is the most re ligious of ali queens, but her religion is after the pattern of Saul, not of PauL We wtnt after church to the old Palace of the inquisition.

The Spanish Inquisition * ?L;ds the sad-, dest story in the annals uf ihe human race, j : Whatever the name or creed of the prose- i cutor—Jew or Gentile, Romat, Greek, Protestant ur Mahometan—the saddest of all possible facts is this, that man has put to torture and to death his feliow aian on account of his religious opinions. Let God be j.raised that in ail the earth except Spain and Rome, men may worship Hitu in their own way, with none to molest or make them afraid. i And it is very weii to bear in mind that persecution has its spirit and some of its power, where the victims are by iaw insured against fire. In the press auii in the puipit, the venom ot bigotry and the bitterness of ' intolerance may be ponred on the heads of those who are guilty of other opinions than ours, and in God's sight such persecution tuay be as offensive, as the rack and Loot of the Inquisition. The spirit of the Master rebukes the use of the sword, even in the hands of Peter, to cut off a servant's ear, and the same spirit forbids us to be unchar itable towards the meanest of those who have not the light or the grace to see as we see. or to defend Christ in our way. Well it requires ail this charity and more, to imagine that a people can have any prop er idea of the Christian religion, and s fiend the Sabbath as these Spaniard- do. To see them at if, we must go where they most en- J ; joy it They have no cathedral in Madrid, j j but their churches are many, and in the I morning they, women especially, go to | i church. The Spaniards are more devout j than the Italians. Infidelity has not made : so much progress. There is a proverb that ' to go to Rome is to disbelieve. The people | in Bpain have not seen Romanism as it has i been seen in Italy, until the popular mind is j sick of it. But they make short work in [ Spain of their devotions. The Prado is their Park on the skirts of j the town. And this is not enough for them ! on Sundays. We saw the crowds pouring out towards one of the gates, some in car riages, but most of them on foot—men. wo men and children, hundred-, thou.-aods, in holiday attire —and we followed. Beyond the Alcala gate, near which is the bull ring, half a mile into the country, we came to the meadows over which these pleasure seeking Castiiians had spread themselves to enjoy : their national and favorite pastime. A little ! later in the season, when the weather is | warmer, thousands of these people would j stop at the bull- ring, and see the battle of men and beasts. It is too cool as yet, and the bulls do not fight weil except in hot weather. But tt is not too cool to dance out of doors, and for this divertisement these thousands have come. On the wide mea dows there is not a house, not a shanty, not a shed or booth. We have passed on the way-cores of wine shops; and there the people can resort if they choose. But or. the grounds there is nothing to be had Lut the pure and the blessed air. The people are distributed in groups all s* cr plain. The grass green. Jf* 1 "' uo ' a wmter sun, in l-iuO and geniai. Ine city lies in full view, with palaces and domes and pinnacles. And in the distance, but in this blazing sun and lucid atmosphere apparently very near, long rangesof mountains stand eovered with snow, white, pure, glisten .ng like silver in the sun light and forming a magnificent background to the gay picture a.t our feet. In the centre of each of these many groups a dozen, more or less, of young men and women, are danc ing to music. This is furnished by one. two or three musicians, -trolling bands, with guitars and violins. Often one is an old man Blind. His wife and daughter are with him, with their instrument?. The airs are not wild, not even lively, as compared with those i of Italy. But they are spirited, and some- i times famii..r to a foreign ear ; fot the airs ot' music, like the airs of heaven, travel all I around the world. The dances are pretty | and modest, singularly tame, and far from : being as full of frolic and abamloti as one would expect to see in the out-of-door amuse ments of the common people. For these are the lower classes only. It is the pastime of the sons and daughters of toil, and perhaps wanr. They were not ill dressed, and more of them were well dressed. But they ap peared to be the class of people who had but this day in the week for pleasure, and were now seeking and findiog it in away that cost them little or nothing. More were looking ou than danced. Yet the sets changed ft* quently, and the circle widened as the nam bets ot" dancers grew, and there was always room for more: for the meadows were wide, and the heaven was a roof large enough to cover them aii. And the strangest part of this perform ance is yst to be mentioned, more than half the men in this frolic of the fields were sol diers of the regular army, in their uniforms, without arms, enjoying a half holiday. They : and all the rest, men and women, seemed to be as happy as happy could be. If we had thought the people of Spain, and especialiy of Madrid, where the government is felt and ' seen more severely and nearly than else where. to be gloomy, sullen, discontented, miserable and ready to rise in revolt, such a thought would be put to rout by seeing these soldiers and others, men and women, thousands and thousands, making them selves so easily happy of a jfundayafternoon. In one of the circles of dancers two young 1 men, better dressed than the rest, were either the worse for liquor, or were feigning to be tipsy. As the other dancers paid no attention to them, and let them amuse themselves in their own way, it is quite probable they were playing the fcol. These ; were the only persons in that multitude, of ' the lower orders of ihe city, who gave any | sign of having been drinking anything that ! could intoxicate. There were scores of wine shops on the street, within the easy walk of all who wish liquors. It was neces sary to pass them going aud coming to and from the city. And thousands doubtless ! 'took something to drink" both going and | coming. The young men would treat the girls, and, of course, all would have as much wine as they wished. For it is almost, as ■ cheap as water —cheaper than water in New : York perhaps; for there the tax that sorae : body pays for Croton is something, but here in Spain wine is so cheap that what was left I of last year's vintage has often been emptied 1 on the ground, or used instead of water to mix mortar with! That is a large story, but will be proved when I come to speak of the wines of this country. Yet drunken ' ness is not one of the eommon vices of Spain. And this was mv first Sabbath in Jipain, ! worshipping in French with a dozen Chris tians in the morning, and looking at thou sands of the people dancing on the green in the afternoon. —/>r.

Before he bad finishedliis last sentence. ' Lord D. had drawn him.Jlt forward on his i chair with considerable ajjtatioo ; and look ing at him in a minner tint showed he was not pleased, he said in anglevated tone that produced a complete silantc in the company.

British Messenger. I.ITEBAKV iljii-l A Cincinnati newspaper says A good illustration of the partiality showntuliterary persons of reputation was given not long since in Boston. James Ru-seli Lowell, a favorite contributor to the Atlantic, and one of the brightest of ail our magazine writer-', concluded to play a jest upon the popular monthly. He accordingly wrote a very clever article, which he cabled the "' Essence of American Humor./ and read it to antral ber of his friends, who said it wa.- one of the very best of his compositions. He employ ed some one to copy it. and sign it W Percy Paine, and send it to the Atlanta: with the request, that, as it. was a maiden effort, the editor should give an opinion in writing to said Paine. He waited a fortnight, but heard nothing from his paper, when being in Boston he dropped info the office of the* Atlantic, and meeting James F. Field, adroitly turned the conversation upon Hu mor, and remarked it was singular so little was written upon it. Fields replied "We get a good deal of manuscript on Humor, Vut it is so poor we can't use it I threw the other day into the "waste basket a long screed, christened the Essence of American Humor,' which should have been styled the 'Essence of Nonsense,' for a more ridiculous farrago of stuff I have never seen. ' Lowi-il, much to the surprise of the editcr. hurst into a roar of laughter, and informal Fields of the au tborship of the article. The editor turned i more colors than are shewn in a prism, and I swore it was one of Lowell's jokes. "lo- I deed it is." responded Lnweil, "and the ! best one I ever played. [ never thought I very highly of my scribbling, but, by Jove, i f didn't believe it was tka most ridiculous farrago of stuff you had sver seen. Fields has been Dored to death since by the Cambridge set; and, byway of self de fense. declares he never read the thing, but that he didn't believe any man who signed 1 his first name with the initial and the see i nod full, could write for 7 he Atlantic. IThat is about as ingenins an excuse as he could make for his partiality, but the story gives a just idea of how magazines sre edit ; ed and contributions regarded. About the Doob. A bit of shrubbery in the yard, a vine climbing by a trellis, a i strip of refreshing green spread from the j door; are snre to maks a place of greater ' marketable value; which, with many, is a consideration to be tuought of before any other. Such need no fin her appeal to their sense of neatness, then. But those who really love the suggestions of beauty for own sake will omit the turf-patch, the shrubbery, j and the hedge anu vine, beeause they make ! almost any home more attractive and lovely and cause the sentiments to sprout like the very leaves and buds themselves. Haw few stop to consoler what a powerful association lies lurking in every simple but familiar ob ject, like a bush, a tree, a bit of grass, or a border of flowers ' They are objects that hold us almost as steadily and stroogly to home as wife and children: they are closely ; associated with these, in fact, and can with difficulty be separated. Therefore we say i to all. "Brush up about the door, and plant j near by an object of simple beauty. It will | bear fruit in the heart a hundred fold.'

A CALL. TO VOI.IL MEN- Wiliiam IV. Tyler, th soaof i'rof. Tyler, afrer graduating at Amherst in isfrf with the second highest honor in his class, coiu u.ein cd bis apprenticeship in the Ames L'otupaoy a works at Chitofwe, where he uuw is, studying the theory ut the business and learning to do with his own bauds ail | kinds of the work. We give this fact be cause we should like to see tie example of young lyler imitated by two or three hund red ot too graduates of our college#. No field ed labor offers such prizes of wealth and honor to liberally , iioca-ted young men as the mechanic arts. None in which ihey c.rt* more beneficially serve with their train ed intellects the eonnnnoity and themselves. For labor requires and the world Is urgent in its demands ikat hereafter the men who work with th lr hands shall also work with their brains. As inventors, as masters of machine -hops, .ay managers of factories,, as engineers of groat put lie works and as ar chitects, our educated young men, if they will learn a tru !e, wouid find ample remu neration and a broad margin lor the display ul genius and talent. No merchant, no lawyer, no physician,—we leave out the ministry because it is a vocation which re quires a -upernataral eali.—has such a chance for the fame which lives from gener ation to generation as the man who links his name with a beneficial invention "or stamps it ou a great public work. It is the tokens, the Mephenses. the Bruaells, the Eiias Howes who now build to themselves uiouuuaeiits more durable than brass. No man in this country ha. such a household immortality a;- Eiias Howe, for wherever the sewing-machine iightens woman's work his name is known. The great want of the day is skilled labor, that is, trained hands directed by trained brains. And the young men who, having been liberally educated, torn front the crow ded professions to tabor, -erve aa appren ticeship at -iMijue trade aud become masters of their business, will find themselves be fore many years in po-itiooa of honor and profit. VV e arc entering on a new era, the era >f labor. Ail over the world the labeling classes are sucking their emancipation. In this country, the working men, though far more advanced thtn those of Europe, are dissatisfied with their position ani their wages, and have organized a movement for their own benefit, The movement needs the direction which only educated men can give it, men ul brains, who are khemseb s workers, and who, from living with work men, know their prejudices and their wants, are needed as leaders to gite e'ear expres sion to the inarticulate demands of the la boring elas=, to adjust harmoniously their relations to capitalists and to elevate the laborers themselves from the plane where life is only a struggle for CSistence.

The highest service that a young man of piety and education, if he be not called to the ministry, can render to his generatkn, is to enter a -hop and serve a regular ap prenticeship at a trade. Like the Moravian missionaries, who sold themselves as slaves that they might lab r among the slaves of an island in the West Indies, and found their reward in the conversion and love of hundreds, so the young man who has the .spirit to turn from the glamour of false so cial and professional distinctions, and iden tify hituself with the laboring class, will find not slaves, hut earnest, devoted men, who will gladly listen to his words it ibey be wise and follow his lead if be be a leader.

And yet an occasion al pun, if a good one, serves to give life and variety to conversation. Sidney Smith says: "Puns are the wit of words. They are ex icily the <ame to words that wit is to ideas, and consist in the sadden discoverv of rela tions in language. A pun, to be perfection in its kind" should contain two distinct meanings: the one. common and obvious; the other, more remote; and id the notice which the mind takes of the relation between those two sets of words, and in the surprise which that relation excites, the pleasure of a pun consists. Mi*s Hamilton, in her Rwk on Education, mentions the instance of a boy so very ncgiectfn!. that he never could be brought to read the word patriarch *: but whenever he met with it. he pronounced it partridges. A friend of the writer observed to her that it could hardly be considered a men: piece of negligence, for it appeared to btm that the boy. in calling them partridg es, was making game of the patriarchs. Now here are two distinct meanings con I tained in the pbrace: for to make game of I the patriarchs is to laugh at them; or to make game of them is, by a very extrava ; gant and laughable sort of ignorance of words, to rank them among pheasant", par tridges and other such delicacies, which the law takes under protection and calls game; and the whole pleasure derived from this pun con-ists in the sudden discovery that two such different meanings are referable to one form of expression. I have very little o ay about pun*; they are in very bad re pute, and so they ought to be. The wit of language is so miserably inferior to .the wit of ideas, that it is very deservedly driven out. of good company. Hometimes. indeed, a pun makes its appearance, which seems, for a moment, to redeem its species: but we must not be deceived by them; it is a radic ally bad race of wit. By unremitting per secution it has been at last got under, and driven into cioEters— from which it must nevei again be suffered to emerge into the ; light of the world.

We form judgments of men from iittle 111 lugs about their boose-, Q f which the owuer perhaps never thinks. J In early years, when traveling where inns [ were scarye, ami in some places unknown, j ami every settler's house was a house of j ' Entertainment.'' it was a matter of some importance and some experience to select wisely where you would put up. And we : always looked for flowers. If there were no < trees for shade, no patch of flowers in the yard- we were auspicious of the place. But, ; no matter how rude the cabin, or rough the ; surroundings, if we -aw that the window held , a little trough for flowers, and that some vines twined about strings let down from the oaves, we were confident that there was -ome taste and carefulness in the log cabin. In a new country, where people have to tug for a iiv ing, no one wili take the trouble to rear unless the love of them is pretty strong; and this taste blossoming ont of plain 1 ami uncultivated people is itself like a clump of harebells crowing out of the seams ot a rock. We were seldom misled. A patch ol flowers came to signify kind people, clean | bail-, and good bread. But in other states of society other signs are more significant Flowers about a rich man s house may signify only that he has a good gardener, or that he has a refined neighbors, and does what he sees them do. Buc men are not accustomed to buy books unle-stbey want them. If on visiting the j dwelling of a man of slender means, we find i that he contents himself with cheap carpets | ami very plain furniture, in order that he may purchase books, he rises at once in our esteem. Books are not made for furniture, but there is nothing else that o beautifully furnishes a house. The plainest row of books that eloth or paper ever cover, is more significant of refinement than the most elab orately carved etagere sideboard Give us a house furnished with books ra ther than furniture!

It is tolerably certain, if early rising ' makes one stupid and sleepy through the j day, that nature is protesting against an in fringement on her laws, ana in the "Life I of Josiab Quiney " is a capital story of a | joke passed by Judge Story on two of his t friends addicted to this habit. I have related, in telling my father's do ; inir- as President, hew he never faiied to set the sleepy students an example of rigid j puctuaiity at morning chapel. He deserves i ihe less credit for this example, however, in j ihat he had contracted, long years before, l the habit of rising every moling, winter and ,uaai<r. at four o'clock, so that be had been long astir before the prayer-bell rung out its unwelcome summons. This excese in early hours, however like every other excess, brought its penalty along with it. Nature would not be cheated of her dues, j and if they were not paid in season she would exact them out of season. Ac cordingly, my father was sure to drop asleep, wherever he might be, when his mind was I uot actively occupied; sometimes, - even in j company, if the conversation was not es ! peeially animated, aud always as soon as he took his seat in hi* gig, or "sulky."' in which he used to drive himseif to town. It was good lack and the good instinct ol ,i, ihor- that carried hint safe through , for so mam- years. _ One ■ day, Mr. John Quincy Adams, who was ,ad iicted to the -ame vice of intemperate , early rising, with much the same ccn j sequences, was visiting usy father, who in | vited him to go into Judge Story's leeture roorn and hear his lecture to his law class. Now Judge Story did not accept the phil j osophy of his two friends in this particular, ! and would insist that it was a more ex ceiicnt way to take out one's allowance o! sleep in bed and be wide awake when out of it—which he himseif most assuredly al ways was. The judge received the two Presidents gladly, and placed them in tfa( ; seat of honor on the dais by hiaside, fronting I the class, and proceeded with his lecture. ' It was not long before, glancing his ey I aside to see how his guests were im pressed I by bis doctrine, be saw that they were both : of them sound asleep, and he saw that tb clas- -aw it too Pau-ing a moment in his swift career of speech, he pointed to the tffo flcepiog fi/fnrw and oft6r6u thos6 worui of warning Gentleman, you see before yon a melancholy example of the evil effectf of early rising! ' The shout oflaughter with which this judicial obiter dictnw was reeeiv ed, effectually aroused the sleepers, and it is to be hoped that they heard and profited by the remainder of the discourse. "I think I have seen you before, sir,' I raid one gentleman to another. "Are yoi ' not Owen Smith'' "Oh, yes," said the other, ! " I'm owin' Smith, and owin' Jones, anc owin Brown, and owin' everybody." THERE is no funeral so sad to follow as th funtral of our own youth, which we havt ; been pampering with fond desires, ambitiouf hopes, and all the bright berries that hang I in poisonous clusters over the path of life.

For the greatest human Intellects there is no exception from the common doom. I hare sometimes thought bow gubfime most have been the emotions of that man whose privilege it was to stand by the coffin of Shake peare, and gaze on the sweet and no ble face, when death had called oat all the strange beauty which never lives there. It was worth a lifetime to have stood there one initiate—to have kid yonr hand on that broad brow, and started at the cold chili— and so caused to have called up in memory all the magnificent creations of his genius, and worshipped him therein the silence and the gloom. Bat he is deid and fon : At bis head a grass green turf. At bis basis a stone. So they all go. Man dies, but nature is eternal. The seasons keep their appointed time; day returns with its golden splendor, and night with its eloquent mystery. The same stars which Kt.tbe gbo t'y battle field of Troy, rough with the dead bodies of an cient heroes —which shone on the marble streets of imperial Rome, and on the sad eyes of vigil keepers in the living glow of inspiration—the watch-fires of the angels which, thro,' centuries of devastation and change have still burned on unceasingly— speak to n. as they did to Dante, Shaks peare, and Milton of the divine glory, the omnipotence, the everlasting beauty tad love of God. GIEAUD, the famous French painter, when very young, was the bearer of a letter of introduction to Lanjnioais, then of the council of Napoleon. The young painter was shabbily attired, and his reception was extremely cold: bat Lanjainais discovered in him such striking proofs of talents, good sense and amiability, that, on Guard's ris ing to take leave, he rose too. and accom panied his visitor to the ante chamber. The change was so striking that Girard could not avoid an expression of surprise. "My young friend." said Lanjainais. anticipating the inquiry, "we receive an unknown per son according to his dress—we take leave f him according to his merit." WASTING OTHER PEOPLE'S TJAM —A committee of eight gentlemen had appoin ted to meet at twelve o'clock. Seven of them were punctual, but the eighth came bustling in with apologies for being a quar ter of an hoar behind the time. "The time." said he, "passed away without my being aware of it I had no idem of its be ing so late,'' etc. A Quaker present said, "Friend, I am not sure that we shoold ad mit thy apology. It were matter of regret that thou shonldst have wasted thine own quarter of an hour; bur there are seven be sides thyself, wbo-e time thou hast also consumed, amoanting in the whole to two hours, and one-eighth of it only was thine men property." THE SHEPEBD'S VOICE, OR, "IT 13 L" —A lady walking on some downs the morn ing after a terrific thunder-storm, met a shepherd. She asked him what bis sheep had done during the storm. "Ah!" here plied, "I folded them as usual in the even ing; but when the storm came on 1 thought Of the poor things, and went out to look af ter them. When I got a little distance from the fold, I saw them jumping about in the greatest alarm; but the moment they beard my voice they were quite quiet." Just so, storm and tempest may break over the be liever; but only let him hear the Chief Shepherd's voice saying, "It is I," and there is a great calm. A learned weaver, in stating his case be fore the provost of a Scotch town, having had occasion to peak of a person who was dead, repeatedly described nim as "the de funct. ' Irritated by the iteration of a word he did not understand, the provost at last exclaimed. "What's the use o' talking sae much about the shield ye ca' the defunct. Canna ye bring the roan here and let him speak for himself ?" "The defunct s dead, my lord," added the weaver. "Oh, that alters the case," gravely observed the pro vost. "Goon, sir." A lady was descanting on the virtues of her son. a young gentleman given to backing horses and bills, who had ottered many promissory notes, to the small benefit of creditors. "Don't you think my dear sir," she said addressing a friend who had suffered through this pleasing trait in his character, "that he is a very promising young man ? "Very promising, my lady, but—he never pays.*' A mas who is allowed to grow np with his mind entirely neglected, is cut off from the sweetest and nobiest sources of happi ness; and even if he is regarded simply as an agent for the production of wealth, he is made by ignorance comparatively useless and inefficient.

Is Munich, the authorities for some years past have reouired that in all cases of children dying in their first year, the parents should declare whether or Dot the infant had been nursed bj the mcther.

AN Irishman being at a tavern where the cook was dressing some carb, observed some of them move after they were put into the pan. which very much surprised Teague. "Well now, faith," said he, "of all the creatures that I ever saw, this same carb will live the longest after it is dead." THE excess of births over deaths in the United Kingdom is now about 1,000 a day. In England it is above 250,000 a year; in Scotland, above 40,000 in Ireland, it is esti mated at nearly 70,000.
