Santo twenfy years ago, I was on apprentice boy In llio ihon ‘ City, of mud,* now tho goodly city of Rochester- Tho business of which / was obtaining . o knowlodga, was conducted upon Exchange street,.l though 1 boarded in one of tho streets ia (ho western 1 pari of tho city. I In going to my tea, 1 was in the habit of meeting,■ almost every evening, for many weeks in a small, young, well dressed good looking girl, with a pail in her hand. At length my curiosity became excited, and 1 resolved to ascertain, if possible, lire daily errand of the girt. Having mother the follow ing evening, I accordingly turned on my heel, and followed her at a distance that would not exbito sus pieion in any ono. I at length saw her enter a small shoemaker's shop on south St. Paul street. I subse-1 quenily learned that (he shop was owned by an in. duslrious yourg man, and excellent mechanic, and ' (hat he was tho girl's husband. Ho had been marri ed a few months, and possessing no other capital than a good nomo and robust constitution, had re solved to economize, by hiring a house in the suburbs 1 of the city. His breakfast was always ready for him by day- 1 break, and taking hi« dinner with him, ho saved the hour each day which most persons spend In going | and in coming from that meal. Many economists would have been satisfied with tho saving of so much I time as this between (he rising and going down of 1 the sun, but not so with tho young shoemaker. Ho I also wished to save tho hour usually devoted to ten, and therefore had that meal d.iily token to him by his pretty little wife. This arrangement enabled him to spend the whole day, and as much of tho evening as ho chose, in the shop. The industrious habits of (lie shoemaker wore soon discovered and met with their duo reward. Custom ore ducked in upon him, and he was obliged not only to tcntalargor shop, bul to employ an additional num ber of workmen Out the increase of business did nut wean him from the plan ho had early adopted for the saving of time—this third meal still having been .taken to him by his wife, in the tin pail. About (his time I left (he city, and did not return for about twelve years, I hod not, however, forgotten the shoemaker, having, from my first knowledge of him, discovered the germ of success in his manner of life. I visited the place where Ins old shop had stood, It had given place to a now brick block. In vain I looked about for (ho sign—it was nowhere to bo seen I was at length informed by a friend that about two years previous Jjo had removed to Ohio. ‘ Do you know anything of bis circumstances 7* I Inquired, • I do. In the first place ho took to Ohio about five thousand dollah in cash, some three thousand of fthich ho invested In real estate near Cincinnati, be has already realized three times the amount, Tho other two thousand ho put into a pork establishment, and (hat sum yielded him a Urge profit.

Ho is now In tho prime of life, and possesses an ample for tune and an unsullied reputation for honor and probi ty.

From tho‘Congregational Journal. Position and Influence of tike Jews. The existence of the Jews ia the living miracle of the world. The; are scattered and downtrod den, and yet, according to the most accurate,statis tics, are as numerous as they were when they left the land of Egypt, the returns made to Bonaparte giving about three millions. Expatriated} they become citizens of the world; and wherever tole rated they commence traffic and become thrifty.— Every whore, they are at home. They may bo ban ished, but cannot be expelled ; be trodden down, yet cannot be crushed. Only in the United States, France, Holland, and Prussia, are they fully citi zens; but in spite of British statutes, the Russian ukase, and Turkish curse, they prosper still. The great nations of antiquity, the Egyptians and As syrians, the Romans and Saracens, as well as the modern Turks and Christians, have attempted to destroy them, but in vain; while penal laws and cruel tortures have only served to increase iheij number and reinforce their obstinacy. But the Jews exist not only as o monument and a miracle: Jewish mind has exerted a powerful influence on (ho world. Favored by Napoleon, the Hebrew race at once developed power which had never been suspected. Soult, Ney, and Mas* sens, who thus altered his name from Mannassah, to escape the odium of being an Israelite, were all Marshals of Franco under the eye of the greatest wanior of his age. In politics the Jews have Metternich in Austria, D’lsraolt in England, a convert to the Christian faith, while the Autocrat of Russia has had a Jew for hie confidential coun sellor, and Spain a Prime Minister of the same race, and Russia her Minister of Finance. In the United States, Jews begin to figure in our national councils; Mr. Yulee, late member of the House, and Mr. Soule, recently Senator from Louisiana, being of the Hebrew stock. Mr. Cremieus, one of the most eminent lawyers of France, was what wo should call Attorney General upon the flight of Louis Philippe. In money power the Jews hold in their hands the destiny of kingdoms and empires, whose gov ernments become bankrupt, and (heir sovereigns tom beggars at a Hebrew's nod. Half a dozen Jews can do more to preserve the peace of Europe by sitting behind their desks and persisting!; say ing No! to the royal applicants for money, than a(( the peace congresses and conventions in Chris* (endom- Tho Rothschilds, the Barings, and Sir John Montefiero, aro all Jews, and with their banking establishments scattered over Europe ami Asia,.wield a sceptre more powerful than monarche hold.

Tub Value of an Old Man in China— Tho ro«. Bonublcncsa and placability of tho natives were, on ono occasion, evinced in rather a remarkable man ner al Chusan, while 1 was there. An Englishman had come across some wild ducks in the canal inside the city, at which ho fired with ball, all fiis shot having been previously expended. Tho bullet misted the birds, and, gloncing from the water, killed an old Chinaman, who was Bitting at his own dour, enjoy ing his pipe. Tho unfortunate sportsman, horrified at the result of his silly thoughtlessness, hurried a* way to take counsel with his friends, who recom mended him to try to settle the matter with the rcloitlivcs of the deceased, to prevent their complaint being laid formally before the authorities, who would bo obliged to award a heavy punishment for such reckless carelessness. With this view, ono of his friends was despatched to visit tho family, to conduit! with (honi fur (heir loss, and to explain how thor oughly it was tho result of accident, lie deplored (ho unhappy circumstance which had deprived the family of so valuable and «o rospoelablo a member, and pointed out (lie fact that ho was very old, and. in the naturol course of things, could not have been expected to live much longer, and (hat pecuniary recompense should bo made to consolalo (ho family fur the few months' society they might have antici pated enjoying with him. They admitted (hat ho was old, very old, and as ho could not have lived tong, they mentioned a hundred dollars as a sum likely In have a goad effect In as eusging the bitterness of their affliction. Tho am bassador, delighted at hearing a demand so much more reasonable than ho anticipated, but concealing Ids satisfaction, pointed out that the deceased wls so old that lie could hardly have cailmntod his short remnant of existence at suoli q largo sum; that ho had died a very quiot and easy death, end that very likely ha was wanted in tho other world, so that tho unlucky bullet might bo esteemed a messenger de spatched hy the gods. He thought, therefore, that fifty dollars, to mako a least and burn plenty of joss stick and paper money, would bo sufficiently satis factory to tho spirit of their departed ancestor.

A writer, who has been among thorn says, a more discordant sot of harmon ies* than they, were never combined. A very short acquaintance with them, with some knowledge of thoirmslory, exhibits a very curious accumulation and loss of members constantly going on in tho Mormon community. It seems to require as much work to keep tho converts alter they are made, as to mako them. Many of their new born saints very soon lose tho soda-water enthusiasm which It at first cxpcVjcnccdjand full away; and many who have realcpougn to start on the journey towards (ho modern Zion, cool off, and lodge liko drift wood, by (ho way.' Each emigrating , body tapers off somc ihlng'likc the army of Peter the Hermit in the first great crusado. Tho Mormons have, in reality, moro backsliders and apostates,and for (ho length of time since their commencement, are divided into more Beets than any religious denomination known. From this picture, which wo have no doubt is a trpoono, for tho papers of the Great Salt Lake are full of the fulminalions of the faithful against a back sliding crow, headed by one Gladden Bishop, who impiously and impudently assumes to bo iho'Lord In second coming, and also against other apos tates to the faith, it would scum that fanaticism un der which the Mormon spread so rapidly, is in dan. gcr if running itself out for want of (ho porseculions | which aided Us growth so materially in the settled States. Without the outside pressure of persecution to hold it together, there Is no sufficient adhesiveness lin Its internal constitution lo keep tho fabric from 1 falling to pieces. Indeed, any society which adopts j principle so repugnant to tho general sentiments of the civilized world os those which form a part of the religions faith oftho Mormons, must necessarily bo restricted within a narrow circle oi operations, and bo of limited duration. Before tho advancing footsteps of bettor Christianity, and of more refined principles of morula and existence, it must recede prooiselly as barbarism flies before civilization, and darkness before light. Women and Flowers* The editor of the Louisville Journal has a very readable article under this head, from which wo cut the closing prrsgroph.

This has been known to my euperiors in command, including the late Secretary of War, end I have been permitted to remain at Newport, wlioco L am comfortably situated. I havo not been necessarily negligent of my duty, as youj order sooiub to imply. lam a soldier, sir, end know my doty.’ ‘Ah, indeed,* calmly rejoined the Secretary ‘you have been living in ottso and splendor, whilo the poor soldiers havo been cooped up In a * living tomb of] misery and ußhcahhiness,’you could’nl endure tho j place a month, you arc a soldier and know your duty.

I havo held office in the array, and always considered it, my doty to partake of the hardships as well as the glories of my compaaloos in arms. If, therefore, the bar* racks near Newport are fit roe four regiment lo iifo in, I presume that they are fit for you. If they bo cs yob represent them, you havo certainly been nog* ligent in not reporting the fact to tills Department, bo that tho soldiers could havd been removed from that‘living tomb of misery and unhoallhincss.*— And until you make such a report, 1 shall make no change in the order of which you complain.’ Tho Colonel, in a perfect rogo, departed unccro. moniously at this stage of the interview. Tho proba bility Is. that the next time ho makes a pilgrimage to the Wur Department, )o plead for his own case and comfort, ho will bring with him some kind words in behalf of tho poor soldiers.
