What a pity that a young ream the hope of his country,
the darling of his parents, should be snatched from all
prospects and enjoyments of life, by the consequence of
deviating from the path of nature and indulging in a cer

requisites to promote connubial happiness. Indeed, with.

mind becomes shadowed with despair and filled with the
melancholy reflection that the happiness of another be

it too often happens tint an ill-timed sense of shame, or
dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who,
from education and reepectability, can alone befriend him,
delaying till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid
disease make their appaaranen, such as ulcerated sore
throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pains in the head and
limbs, dimuees of eight, deafness, nodes on the shin-bones
and arms, blotches on the bead, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last tie palate of

of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commie
oration, till death pats n period to his dreadful tqlEuringa,

MY SHIP.
Down to the wharves, se the sun goes down,
And the daylight tumult, and dust, and din
Aro dying away in the Imo town,
I go to see if my ship comes In.
I gaze far over the quiet sea,
Rosy with sunset, like mellow wine,
Where ships, like lilies, lie tranquilly,
Many and fair—hut I see not mine.
I qtte@tion the gallon tom night—
Who over the halwarke Idly lean
Noting the sails as they coma in eight—
" Have you eeen my beautiful ship come in ?"
"Whence does ahe come?" they tisk of me--
" Who ie her master, and what her name?"
And they smite upon me pityingly
When my anewer is ever and ever the same.
0, mine waa a reseal of strength and truth,
Her Chits were as white as a' young lamb's fleece,
She sailed long *lnce from the port of Youth—
Her master was Love—and her name was Peace.
And, like all beloved and beantiful
She faded In distance and doubt away—
With only a treinbleof snowy wings,
She floated awaaliko, adowa [be bay,
Carrying with her a precions freight--
All I bad gathered by years of pain ;
A tempting prize to the pirate, Fete—
And still I watch Err her back again.
Watch from the earliest morning light,
Till the pale stare grieve o'er the dying day,
To mud the gleam of her canvass white
Among the islands Which gem the bay.
}lnt she comes not yet—she will never come
To gladden my oyes and earn more—
And my heart grows hopeless, and taint, and dumb,

GIVING AWAY THE BABY.
A MOTHER'S STORY.
"It was the third day after my husband's
funeral," spid the widow, "and I was so stun—
ned by his sudden death that I could do nothing
but sit and think over it, and try to realize how
it could be so. Only the Biinday before he had
been sitting with me, watching the baby, as he
sat in the sunshine, laughing and clapping his
little hands, as the shadows of the trees were
flung across the hare floor, and moved by the
passing breeze. Now the child was sitting in
the same spot, the warm October Bun streaming
in on his bright curls, and making him look so
pretty—so like a picture: but the father was gone
from us forever.
"It seemed to me I must see his dear face
once more: that he would surely lift the latch
and come in, and lake our child up, and say, as
he so often did, ' Mother, what would you take
for this little bother?'
Even the baby missed him, and would come
and stand at my knee, calling Papa ! papa!'
until I thought my poor heart would break. The
two oldest cbilliren were at school, the rest were
out playing, so that I was quite alone. By and
by the baby was tired of his play and came and
got into my lap.
•. Mamma cry—mamma mustn't," lie lieped
out, and wiped my wet face with his little chubby
hands ; but I could only hold Lim closer to me,
and then cry more bitterly.
"Just then Mr. and Mrs. Lorrimer drove up
in their handsome carriage. They lived not far
off, and were our richest neighbors, When I
had invited them in and dried my tears a little,
they seemed at a loss how to begin the conver
sation, but Charlie had slid away from my aide,
and went and stood at the lady's knee, and,
pointing to her heavy gold bracelet, said, 'Pret
ty—pretty,' in his childish way. She took it off
and gars it to him, saying : ' Won't you come to
be my little boy, Charlie ?' "
My mother's heart took fright at once. They
had no children, and I seemed to feel as plainly
as if they had told me, that they had come to
ask for one of mine.
"No, no, mother couldn't spare him," I said,
quickly snatching Lim away—almost rudely, I
fear.
"My dear woman," began Mr. Lorrimer,
"have you thought seriously of the impossibility
of your getting along with five children under
tvielve years of age ? It has required all your
husband's efforts to make a living for you—how
can you hope to do it without him i"
"We offer,' joined in his wife, " to take the
most helpless of your little ones, to give him all
the advantages we would our own child; and
surely you must see that God's hand is in it i
that through us heintends to help you."
"I need not tell you how long I withstood all
their arguments. But et litet, unman by their
entreaties, I consented to consider tho matter. I
never mentioned their, visit to any of the child
ren, and I had changed my mind almost every
hour since I had seen them. At last, convinced
that it was for the phild's good, I consented to
give him up. When I went, to dress him to go,
my resolution almost failed me. I lingered over
every article I put on him, and made every dear
curl over and over before I could get it to please
me; and I kissed the little white shoulders until
they were all rosy.' But at length he was ready,
and I thought he never looked so pretty. He
was fail of animation, for he was old enough to
know what it meant to go a riding, and he clap-
ped his hands and laughed aloud at the horses
as they were driveu up. 1 handed him to his
new mother, (the children supposed that he Ws.!t
to come bnek soon,) and he never even looked as
me. Oh, how jealous my aching heart grew!
" When I came back into the house, the first
thing toy eyes fell on *as his cradle. I could
only throw myself on it and sob aloud Then
came the trial of telling the truth to the child
ren. None of them seemed reconciled, and I
felt that the worst was to come whr the two
oldest returned from school. I alums; dreaded
to meet them, especially Willie He ris like his
father, so quiet and calm outwardly, but hiding
beneath his apparent coldness the strongest,
deepest feelings. But the others went to meet
them as they came hen*, and I was pleasantly
disappointed in the way the oldest took it. Ile
seemed to feel that I bad done it for the best,
and tharhe must bide his 'own sorrow for my
sake. Ile was more thoughtful for my comfort,
gentler than ever, only very still and grave.
"The day ended, as the longest will at last,
and it came time to go to bed. I had taken Willie
down stairs to sleep near me, since his father's
death, and the other children slept just above
us. Well, when I came to lie down, there was
the empty pillow. Baby had always laid Lis
little rosy face as close to mine as he could get
it, and slept with one little warm hand on my
neck. All my grief broke out afresh when I
thought of him. Willie raised up at last, and
said, earnestly:
"Mother, it's Charlie you are crying for, isn't
it?"
"' Yes,' I answered. I know it's for the
best; but ob, it's so hard to give him up r
" Mother,' continued the when father
died, we knew it was all for the best, because
God took him from 118 ; but I have been think—
ing ever since we laid down how poor little
Charlie must be crying for you, and how God
gave him to us, to love him and keep him ; and
now you have given him away. If He bad
meant him to he Mr. and Mrs. Lorrimer's baby,
wouldn't lie have given him to them at first ?' "
"The child's words carried more weight wth
them than all the arguments of say rich neigh
bors. After considering a moment, I said, im•
pulsively :
" Oh ! if I only hail hint back, he should
never go away again, no matter how poor we
might be.'
"The moon was up and shining so brightly
that it was almost as light as day, and presently
Willie said:
" Mother, it's only half a mile across the
fields, and they won't go to bed for a long time
at, Mr. Lorrimer's—let us go and get Charlie.
Why, mother, I seem to hear him crying now :'
"Urged by the child's entreaties and the fund
promptings of my own heart, I consented. I
think I never walked half a mile so quickly in
my life, and neither of us spoke until we reach
ed the mansion. Then we stopped a moment. for
breath, and sure enough, we could hear the baby
screaming at the top of his voice. We went
round to the eitting-room door and knocked.
They seemed half frightened when they saw who
it was, but asked us in politely. A hired nurse
was walking with the child up and down the
floor, trying to pacify it. Mrs. Lorrimer had
wearied herself out, and was lying on a lounge.
"'Come to mother.' Willie said ; and be
brought the little fellow to me at ones.
"How he clung to me, still sobbing, yet EMU
ing all the while to find himself in my arms
" I cannot give him up,' I said, a. last, when
I could get my voice clear. You mu:A, let me
take him home.'
"They evidently thought me fhe silliest of
women ; but their cold words only made me the
more determined, and we started back in less
than half an hour after we came, I carrying the
baby in my arms all the way.
" When I bad leld him in bed, not fast. asleep,
but still sobbing, and he reaching out his little
hands to feel if I was there,•l said:
" God helping me, come what. will, I will
never part with one of my living children again
And I never did.
"I need not tell you how wild with joy the
rest of the children were were when they found
the baby in bed next morning: they almost
fought over the little fellow; and from that day
forth their greatest pleasure was to amuse
Charlie and have hint with them.
"When the affair came to be known many
blamed me, and many favors my rich neighbors
might have done mo they withheld, I think, for
my folly, as they called it. But a few poor wo
men like myself, that had always nursed their
own children, said I did right. We had many
trials, and often scarcely a crust of bread in the
house; but our hardships only bound Us the
more closely together.
"All my children proved comforts and bless
ings to me; God took care of one for me; but
as Willie said, we knew that was for the beet.
The rest married in the course of time and left
me; but the prop of my old days, the one whose
industry and management gave me this plentiful
and comfortable home, has never left me since
the day I gave him away."—Little
THE LAST GAME OF CARDS.
In the year eighteen hundred and—never you
mind what—the present writer was at collage,
and in his very first term his moral nature re
ceived the following shock :
The ohuni (let me call him Briston) that I had
made for myself, after the manner of collegians
—my own familiar friend—l discovered to be
not only no better than he should be, but a very
great deal worse. A Gomm% acquaintance of
ours sickened, and grew dangerously ill. Such
things make an impression on youth, to whom
the - footfall of death is terrible, even at another's
door, and I feared as well as grieved. I went
to see the sick man, of course ; I even read
aloud to him Sometimes, and spent by his bed
side a few hours that might have been more
agreeably passed on the banks or bosom of Isis,
but, I feel now that I had much to reproach my
self with in that matter, although I flattered
myielf at the time that I wee doing my duty—
and more. On a certain Sunday, after a lung
afternoon's walk, I called on the invalid, and
upon entering his bedroom, was beyond measure
astonished to find him playing cribbage wit
Briston. The sick man laughed at my astonish
ed looks, but Briston went on playing, as th.ltigh
that occupation required the whale of his .. , ten

Beiston seemed a good deal cut up, but that was
the last I saw of him—for afterwards, if we pas
ted one another in the street, we did not even
bow—for half a lifetime.
A few years ago, however, a certain well
known religious society requested my assistance
in holding a missionary meeting in my parish i
it was to be attended by several clergymen who
had distinguished themselves in their profession,
ill very trying circumstances; who had gone
through many perils among the heathen, and
dared the pestilence and the sword with little
enough of worldly recompense. A newly ap
pointed colonial bishop, their leader, was also te
be present, of whom most persons had licaid
something, but nothing to his prejudice, as I be
lieve ; a man both good and great, who, having
had the choice of a pleasant life or a useful one,
chose the latter—a saint of these days, indeed.

spoke not a word of his own sufferings, but only
of the church's need. The clubs and spears,
and other tokens of savage life which the society
had caused to be sent dawn, with a gentleman
to explain their nature, rather shocked his sen
sitiveness; he. submitted to the exhibition with
out remonertance but evidently without approval.
It was his characteristic to blame no man, if
possible, and certainly not one moved by good
intentions. Only once, when something severe
was said against certain missionaries of anoth - er
denomination, whose field of action was also his
own, the bishop interrupted the speaker some

" But to play at cribbage with a dying mat !"
urged I, aghast with the very reminiscence.

THE HOUSE OF ROTHSCHILD
The Loudon Globs gives the following inter
esting Recount. of t he ripe nod pregont position
of the money icings of Europe, the famous house
of Rothschild:
Among all the congresses bell this summer
of prinecs, lawyers, musicians; schoolmasters,
social science men, political economists, and a
hundred others, one very notalie meeting has
almost escaped public attention. A few days ago
our Paris correspondent told ue that a congress
of the members of the illustrious house of Roth -
Schil3. has been sitting at Paris. The purport
of the meeting was nothing lees than to re
arrange the dominions of the great banking
dynasty. In one word, the great object of the
Rothschild congress was to reduce the five
branches of the house who now rule Europe to
four, and following the example of Garibaldi, to
strike another sovereign of Naples from the list
ui reigning monarchs. Henceforth there are to
be but four kings of the house of Rothschild,
with secure thrones at •London, Paris, Vienna
and Frankfort.
It is now exactly a hundred years since a poor
Jew called Mayer Anselm, made his appearance
at the city of Hanover; barefooted, with a sack
on his shoulder, and a bundle of rags on his back. ,
Successful in trade, like most of his eo.religion
ists, he returned to Frankfot t at the end of a few
years, and set up a small shop in the "Jew
lane," over which hung a signboard of a red
shield, called in German roth-cehild. As a deal.
er in old and rare coins, he made the acquaint
ance of the Serene Elector of Hesse Cassel, who,
happening to be in want of a confidential agent
for various open and secret purposes, appointed
the shrewd-looking Mayer Anselm to the post.
The Serene Elector, being compelled soon after
to fly his country, Mayer Auselm took charge of
his cash, amounting to several millions of tlorins.
With the instinct. of his race Anselm did not for-
get to put the mouey out on good interest, so
t. at, before Napoleon was gone to Elba, and :he
illustrious Elector had returned to Cassel, nie
capital had more than doubled. The ruler of
Hesse Cassel thought it. almost a marvel to get
his money safely returned from the Jew lane of
Frankfort, and at the Congress of Vienna was
never tired of singing the praise of his llehretv
agent to all the Princes of Europe. The dwellers
under the edge of the Red Schield laughsd in thcir
steevss ; keeping carotid - Ey to thernselves the
great lac:: :hat the elm:dor:a teue million i'..orins
had brought them four millions of their own.
Never woo hane6ly a better policy.
Mayer Auselm died in 1812, without having
the supreme satisfaction of hearing his honesty
extolled by kings and princes. Ilr. left. five sone,
who succeeded him in the banking and money
lending business. and who, conscious of their
social value, dropped the name of fineelm, and
adopted the higher sounding one of Rothschild,
taken. from the signboard over tho paternal
haute. On his death bed their father had taken
a solemn oath frem all of them to hold his four
millions well together, and they have faithfully
kept the injunction. But the old city of Frank
fort. was too narrow a realm for the fruitful
sowing of fetic , millions ; and, in consequence,
the five were determined after a while to extend
their sphere of operations by establishing branch
banks at the chief eitica of Europe. The eldest
son, Angelo:, born 1773, remained at Frankfort ;
'the second, Salomon, born in 1774, settled at
Vienna; the third, Nathan, born 1777, went to
London ; the fourth, Charles, the infant terri6ts
of the family, established himself in the soft
climate of Naples ; and the fifth and youngest,
James, born in 1792, took up hie residence at
Paris. Strictly united, the wealth and power of
the five Rothschilds was vested in the eldest
born; nevertheless, the shrewdest of the sons of
Mayer Asmara, and the heir of his genius, Na
than, the third son, soon took the reins of gov
ernment into his own hands. By his faith in
Wellington, and the flesh and muscle of British
soldiers, he nearly doubled the fortune of the
family, gaining more than a million sterling by
the solo battle of Waterloo, the news of which he
carried to England two days earlier than the
mail. The weight of the solid millions gradually
transferred the ascendency in the family from
Germany to England, making London the me
tropolis of the reigning dynasty of Rothschild.
Like the royal families of Europe, the mem
larre of the house of Rothschild only intermarry
With each other, ;Melee Rothschild married the
daughter of his brother Salomon ; his son Ed
mond, heir apparent of the French line, was
united to his first cousin, the daughter of Lionel,
and grand-daughter of Nathan Rothschild ; and
Lionel again—M. P. for• London, gave his hand
in 1836, to his first cousin Charlotte, the daugh
ter of Charles Rothschild of Naples. It is un
necessary to say that, though these matrimonial
alliances have kept tho millions wonderfully 0-
gather, they have not improved the race of old
Mayer Anselut of the Red Shield. Already
signs of physical weakness are becoming visible
in the great family. So at least hint the French
papers in their meagre notices about the Roth
schild congress at Paris. From all that can be
gathered out of a wilderness of canards, thin
feels, and thick fiction, it appears that the
sovereigns of the Stock Exchange met in confer..
once for the double purpose of centralizing their
money power and widening their matrimeninl,
realm. In other words tee five reigning kings,
descendants, according to the law of primogeni
ture, of the five eons of Mayer Aneelm, came to
the decision'to reduce their number to four, by
cutting oil the Neapolitan branch of Charles
Rothschild,' while it was likewise decided that
permission should he given to the younger mem
bers of the faintly to marry for the benefit of the
race, beyond the range of first coueinship.
What line led to the exclusion of the Nottpclitan
line of Rothschild seems to have been the con
stant. exercise of a highly blameable liberality
unheard of in the annals of the family. Charles,
prodigal eon of Mayer Anagra, actually present
ed, in the year 1846. ten thousand ducats to the
Orphan Asylum of St.. Carlo, at Naples, and the
son and heir of Charles, Gustavus. has given re.
pealed Ogee of his inclination to follow in the
footsteps of hie father. Such conduct, utterly
unbecoming the policy of the house of Roth
schild, could not be allowed to pass unnoticed,
and accordingly—we quote the rumor of Paris
journalism—the &cher/nee of the Neapolitan lino
has been pronounced. However, Baron Gustav
us do Rothschild is not to retire into private life,
like famous Charles b., with only a cassock on
hie shoulders and a prayer book in his hand; but
is allowed to take with him a small fortune of
150,000,000 francs, or about six millions ster
ling—a mere crumb from the table of the de
scendants of poor Mayer Anselm, who wandered
shoeless tbrough the electorate. of good Ring
George the Third. It is certain that no romance
of Royalty Is equal to the romance of the house
of Rothschild.
