THE riUXCESS AND THE RABI I In olden time, in ages long since flown, There lived a rabbi, one whose treat reno- n For wisdom, learning, and for many thin gs. Made hint much sought by emperor a ad kings. Yet though his wisdom made bim wondro us wise, Ilia face was ugl.r, and his crooked eyes, That mated with bis soiled and blacken sd skin, Gave to his countenance horrid grin. One day an emperor asked him to bis cou ft, Wtjere " t'gly Face" was subject to tb sport Of lords and ladies, and amid the langhfa None mirtbed it more than did theetnparorlk daughter. "Good rabbi, tell rue," were the words she said, 'How wisdom dwells in such an ngly head?" The rabbi kept his temper, though his cheek I'aled at the insult, with voice so meek. He asked the princess did she know the bin Or jar in which her father kept his wine. " The bins I know not, quickly she replied, " Hut earthen jars have all such wants sup plied." In farfAoi jars Ha, ha! that's very fine That's where the common people keep theini wine ; An emperor's is worthy of greater place ; Xo handsome vessel would such wine disgrace." So said the rabbi ; the princess thought that he Could nothing else but full of earnest be ; That one who many clever things oft spoke Would ne'er in indulgejin playing a paitry joke; So to the butler she ran off in haste, And bids him best of all the wines to place In jars of gold ; the butler quick obeyed (A princess' word must never be gainsaid) Took from the earthen jars the wine so old. And poured it in those of fintat gold. off her bonnet and veil, removed her mantle and gloves, and went into the kitchen. 'Cannot I do somethinir to help you, sister Matilda r said she plead inelv. Mrs. Abel Piercy looked, with cold, blue eves and hps primly com pressed, at the fair face, which was younger and ireener man ever with out the jet black circlet of the bon net, at the slight, graceful figure be fore her. 'No. I thank you,' said she, 'I am not used to having fine ladies in my kitchen. "But it you will lend me an apron 'No, I thank you, Mrs. Oswald I'lercv, replied tne nousewue, "you will find the newspapers in the hal Perhaps the advertising columns mav interest you. 'We are sisters,' said the widow with a quivering lip.:' 'Will you not call me rlume 'Oh, no, we're no relations at al. in reality,' said Mrsi Abel Piercv, weighing out ounces of sugar and pounds of flour with an unerring band.

It tasted flat and stale ; 'twas then she tho't On her the rabbi some foul trick had played, Aud finding him, she, flushed with anger said, ' So, rabbi, do you know the wine I poured In golden vessels is U spoiled and aoured?" To which the rabbi with a touch of pride, And sterner accents tban before, replied : " Then have you learned lesson, princess mine ; 'Tis not the testers biuty makes the wine ; Neither doth knowledge find a resting place Behind a fair more than an ugly face.," have been on the stage?' 'No,' said Plume, T was a teacher when Oswald married me. But what did you mean about the adver tising columns of the papers?' she asked.

Piercy was not in a good ha mor that day, as she sat at the break fast table pouring conee for her hus band, and dispensing bread and but ter to the three plump little Piercy'- . . . fche was a handsome, overdressed woman with a cood deal of false hair, frizzed and puffed and braided on the top of her head, and a com plexion that bore remote witness to the constant use of cosmetics. And Mr. Piercy, at his end of the table, was evidently ill at ease, as he broke his egg and nibbled diligently at his roll. 'But what was I to do, my dear?' said he, after a brief silence which was by no means peaceful. 'Do ?' shrilly retorted Mrs. Piercy. 'Why, what do other people do? Are we to keep a home for the indi gent poor? Or a refuge for the wid owed and fatherless ?' 'My dear, ray dear,' pleaded Mr. Piercy, who was a small man with thin hair and spectacles, 'you may be a widow yourself some day.' 'And if I am, I shall not go beg. ging among my relatives, that you may depend on,' said Mrs. Piercy. 'And alter all, she isn't any relative of yours, only your brother's wife ! I'd like to know what earthly claim she has upon you. I declare, the more I think of it the more I am amazed at the woman's presump- 1 tion. Her very name is an aggrava tion, too. 'Plume Piercy,' indeed, j I'll wagpr my new lace pin that she was a second rate actress when she ! married your brother. No, Mr. Piercy, if you think that I ' But here the torrent ot tne lady s eloquence was cut short by the un expected appearance on the scene of the very subject of her objurgation, a tall, pretty women, of about four and twenty, whose wavy, golden tresses and delicately fair complex ion contrasted vividly with the deep mourning weeds she wore. 4 A veil down to her feet,' mentally ejaculated Mrs. Abel Piercy. 'And a six inch bias band of the very best Courtland crape on her gown. I wonder who's expected to pay for all this?' Abel Piercy. the kindest hearted of little men, welcomed his brother's widow with genuine hospitality, but Matilda, his wife, looked askance at her, with no friendly smile upon her countenance. 'Of course, you will consider this your home,' said Mr. Piercy, as h made haste to draw a chair close to the fire. 'Until you are able to suit your self somewhere else,' crisply added his wife. The widow said little; 6he only looked, with large wistful eyes, from one to the other, as she sat there, the morning sunshine turning ine her fair locks to braided masses of gold, the pearly delicacy of her skin arousing the liveliest envy in Mrs. Abel's heart 'Though, of course, it's only some French balm, or Cireassiam cream or other, that I haven't heard of,' said she, to herself. But after Mr. Piercy tad buttoned on his overcoat and gloves, he came back to the breakfast room, while his wife was putting up the chil dren's school lunches in the little pantry. 'I'm cot much of a talker, Plume,' said he, in an odd, hesitating way, 'but you are welcome, nsy dear, very welcome. And I hope you will try to feel at home. Don't mind Matil da, just at first. She's a little pecul iar, Matilda is, but I do assure you she ' : tr n! it ai J 1 .e, tn.rk tram ii Co.. in ' irmh.i-; iv.Hr. ritrcv i uiiercu m usru. S.eibeaMcN'atr. of 'a.Mlman.

Situations I repeated rlume, halt afraid of Bridget a warlike demeanor, half puzzled at her 6ister in law's words. les.'said Mrs. Abel, tartly, pay ing no attention to Bridget, 'in glove factory, you know, or a fancy store, or even as a nursery governess or attendant to some elderly in valid.' 4For, of course, yon know,' with another of those obliaue looks that made poor Plume feel so uncomfort able, 'you expect to work for your living. e are not rich enough to support all our relations. 'Abel's salary was reduced last year, and no one knows how strictly I have to economise in order to make both ends meet. And a strong young wwman like you ought to be ashamed to sit down on a sickly man with a family, like my husband because 'Stop, oh, stop !' said Plume, lift- ins up her hand, as if to ward off some invisible terror. 'He said I was welcome. He told me ' 'That's just like Abel,' said Mrs. Piercy, scornfully. 'He'd take in all creation if he could. He never stops to think whether he can afford it or not' 'I am sorry that I intrude,' said Plume, with dignity. 'It shall not be for long. I will look at the news papers at once.' ..... . . . ... . . 1 es, that s a deal the best plan, assented Mrs. Piercy, ungraciously. 'Of course you won't mention our little chat to Abel. He might be vexed, and after all, I nm only speaking for your eood.' Hume looked at her with an ex pression 01 lace which somehow made Mrs. Abel Piercy feel as if she was shrinking up like a withered walnut in the shell. 'Yes, I know,' said she. 'But you need not be afraid, I am no talebear er, to make mischief in any one's family.' Mr. Piercy felt very uncomforta ble after this little conversation was ended. 'How she did look at me,' thought she. But I only spoke the truth, after all. We can't be burdened with her support let Abel talk as be pleases. And no matter what she says, I believe she has been an ac tress. No one but an actress could ever put on such royal ways as that' Half an hour afterwards, when the bell rang, and some one inquired for Mrs. Oswald Piercy, Mrs. Abel nod ded her bead to the cake she was taking out of the oven. 'Company already,' said she, 'and gentleman company, as I live I well, ifthisisthe way she intends to go on, the sooner she suits herself with a situation the better.' Mrs. Piercy bad been secretly anxious for an opportunity of quar reling with her bister in law. Here it was at last; and when the old gentleman with the glossy broad cloth suit was gone, she bounced into the parlor, with a red spot on either cheek bone, like signals of war. 'So you have been reciving com pany, Mrs. Oswald ?' she said. Yes,' Plume innocently answer ed. 'Gentleman company, too,' cried Mrs. Piercy. 'It was Mr. Van Orden, my husband's lawyer,' exclaimed Plume. Oh, I dare say I' said Mrs. Piercy.

'Strange, wasn't it? and quite ro mantic, too.' 'What on earth is the man talking about ?' said she, aroused at last into something like active interest 'Why, Didn't Plume tell you? It seems that those last investments that poor Oswald beggared himself with, have turned up trump cards after all.

I take this opportunity to bear testimony to the efficacy of your "Hop Bitters." Expecting to find them nauseous and composed of bad whiskey, we were agreeably sur prised at their mild taste, just like a cup of tea. A Mrs. Cresswell a Mrs. Connor, friends, havelikewiee tried, and pronounce them the best medicine they have ever taken for building up strength and toning up the system. I was troubled with cos tiveness, headache and want of ap petite. My ailments are cow all gone. I have a yearly contract with the doctor to look after tbe health of myself and family, but I need him cot now. S. GILLILAND. July 25, 1878. Peopia, Advocate, Pittsburg, Fa There is hardly an adult person living but . ia sometimes troubled with kidney difficulty, which is the most prolific and dangerous cause of all disease. There is cq sort of need to have any form of kidney or urina ry trouble if Hop Bitters is taken occasionally. ous and unbroken ugliness ; but these seven hundred miles of houses down here, with their marble door steps and the stringy maids scrub bing them perpetually, and the ceaseless streams of soap and dirt in either direction, are simply 700 miles of nightmare. I have discovered here in this vast city of 12J square miles, more tban six hundred well attended churches. The ladies are abundant shy, refined, and far more beautiful by nature, than the marvelously beautiful ladies of New York. Yet, disdaining art. they do not first seem so striking and attractive. I find here 1500 street cars thump ing and jumping through night and day over 250 miles of cobble stones and Btreet rails. The racket is some thing awful. .uw, I am going to oner some advice. Of course I will get no thanks for it I rarely do. Even this city, which I have discussed here, and propose to picture in this sketch exactly, may possibly be lm patient with me for my work. Yet 1 see she is even now tearing down the fences from around her parks and giving them to the people, just as 1 told her to last summer. Good! but she would not admit my hand in the work. And no matter. No matter who tears down these ugly and insolent fences all over the Re public, only so that it is done. The advice? Ah, it is this: Take up your cobble-Btones, widen your streets, you have land enough, room enough now, more than you will have a century hence, when it will be impossible. And when you have carted off your cobble-stones and widened your streets, then plant them in trees as Washington City has, and pave them with asphalt as Washington city has; and finally, if you possibly can rise to!the spirit of it build a few bright, airy, ele gant and Pompeian-hued houses, such as now charm, invite, instruct, inspire strangers at Washington Lity. And ah, above all. do. in pity, take up that kneeling posture, that mute and almost motionless maiden, streaming her two perpetu al streams of soapsuds from vour beautiful and tomblike marble door step". A LOFTY EDIFICE. The new City Hall sits white and serene here in the centre of the one noble street, and spreads ber white skirts over more than five solid acres of land. This vast array of marble contains nearly 600 rooms. If I re member rightly, the highest of the great pyramids falls under 500 feet. But the tower of this stupendous Citv Hall is to be, when completed. 535 feet in height ! A city that can sit still and quietly build such a noble mass of marble as that can afford to take very good naturedly all the criticisms any one has to offer. I find more than 2,000 school teachers. What a help they would have been to flog the British a hun dred years agol These chools, teach ers, scholars, all stand unaccounta bly high. To be educated in Phila delphia is, I don't quite know why, counted a good thing in the far West I find more than a hundred thousand children here at school. They are al! comfortatble, and so far as I can see and learn from visit ing half a dozen of tbe oOO public schools, very healthy, and as happy, too, as it is permiuea any one in this caterpillar state of transmission to be. A BAD LOT OF COLOR. Along with the city editor of a paper of this flat" stale and "un profitable" town, I sought out, flank ed by two officers, the slums of Philadelphia. But, like those of New York, they have almost passed out ot existence. 1 en years ago 1 went alone into this same place here, paid my five cents for supper, Iodg ing and breakfast, and wrote up the whole thing lor the JN. I . Independent. After that others poured in for years till the place is, like the famous old Five Points, almost as safe for strangers, provided they have ao money or jewelry with them, as any foot of this yery staid and honest old town of Penn and Franklin. And yet, for all that this black quar ter is a howling bad spot, a cancer on tbe breast of a loving and not unlovely woman. These 15,000 blacks require nearl half of tbe city's force of fiftee hundred policemen to keep them down. They make up more than half of the criminal resource of this very populous city. These negroes here are the worst by far I have found anywhere. How much better to turn this whole quarter into a Eublic park, and break up this owlicg, drunken rookery of blacks. It would be a long way the cheapest thing for tbe city. Driving out the other day in the edge of the city, we were suddenty overtaken by a blindin, driving rainstorm. Seeking a place of shel ter at a gallop, on turning a corner we came face to face with a darkey and a wheelbarrow. Across this wheelbarrow lay. three planks, a abstractedly at some cows in the let as they turned their tails to the storm. The woman wan struck into a rather impressive statue of Lybia. She did cot move a muscle, but stood there with the whites of her eyes rolled up till she could not see us ; and so, childlike, felt that she was cot seen. We dashed past, but, looking back in a moment, 1 saw them both bustling on m great haste. And vet there are some folks who say the negro is without enterprise ! ART AND ARTIsTS IN PHILADELPHIA. To open this gate ia to enter a field of flowers,' from which you do cot escape all day here. You do not bear much ef art, pictures, books anything really in the line of refine ment outside of the imagined brick walls of this rather exclusive city, but art id here, nn undercurrent of it, deep and strong and full of prom ise. Of course over this current rolls and rumbles the greasy car of commerce, just as in other places. But the Philadelphia artist, author, seems less obtrusive, has less self- a - I a assertion man almost any man alive: a good sign of good work There are pictures here to see, one private callecuon, notably, which would take a week's time to see well. But here is sacred ground. and we draw the line at the thresh old. The great park here has in roads and drives altogether nearly one hundred miles. Our Central Park of New York is only a doll's play house in comparison to it Dark and slimy looking rivers, suggestive or catfish and eels, slide around and about the city. But their dullness is relieved by the glory of the woods, that now in the full splendor of autumn illume their banks aud hang above the leaf-strewn, winding, silent waters. Here in this park they show you the house where Tom Moore is said to have written some of his melodies. Here is also a dreary looking habitation, called Arnold's House, said to have been given this unhappy man as a reward for his treason. Ah, yes, beautiful Phila delphia beautiful I mean when you get outside of her and into this park and out of sight of the horrid rows ot bouses has her traditions and stories, too; her house where Washington slept; her Independ ence Hall, her Penn and his endur ing treaty made under tne eltu of peace. A man who could not respect all these and bow his head before them in this citv of bricks between the two rivers baa little iu himself that is worthy of respect As my friend drove me back from the thirty-mile drive in this greatest park in all the world I asked him bow it was in this city, without any special commerce and its single line of ships for fcurope, had grown to such boundless dimensions. He quietly drove me to some of tbe fac tories for answer. " And now, would you like to see all the factories of Philadelphia be fore leaving our city?" " Well, yes, I think I should ; the persons employed all seem so bap- , healthy, content and comforta- that I should enjoy seeing all the lactones or i'hiladelphia, I think." When we got fairly back in the carriage and the robe over our legs, my wealthy and impressive friend said: "We have 12,000 of these fac tories; we have 240,000 persons employed." As we drove home, I asked : " What is your next greatest thing in Philadelphia ?" " Our City Hall and its contem plated tower." u And your next greatest?" "George W. Childs, sir." I was silent and said co more all the way to the gate. Miscl 1 eajtearua Iteanav A wonderful Street. Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Win- dom is now in London trying to raise money for building an arcade under the whole length of Broad way, New York. If he succeeds, that will be tbe most extraordinary thoroughfare known to tbe history of cities. The scheme is to make a new street under the present surface of Broadway, extending to the hous es on each side, and lit by electric lights at night and glass reflectors in the daytime. The middle of the street would hold railway tracks, not only for city travel, but to ac commodate in-coining trains from every part of the country. The traveler ia San Francisco or St Paul would not only buy his ticket for New York, but tbe hotel on Broad way where he intended to stop. Freight and baggage would be con veyed directly to the warehouse or be received by the express car which was to convey it to any part of the country. Then traffic of all kinds could be carried on on each side of the arcade. There would thus be a double tier of stores. Provision could be made for sewers, water mains, gas pipes, and heating tubes.; In short, it would become a double street, and the value of the property quadrupled along the route. En gineers say the scheme is entirely practicable. There is business enough now on Broadway for two thoroughfares. Messrs.

A Glasgow professor has advanced the theory that there is a magnetic sense, distinct from the other senses, resident in every person and that through it we acquire of afHnites and antagonisms that cannot be other wise accounted for. We often con ceive a dislike for a person entirely without a reason that we can assign to ourselves, when everything would seem to warrant a very different feeling, and this peculiar instinct the professor thicks to be the opera tion of a dificite sense which is quite as effective and true as the sense of eight or hearing, is often more relia ble than the deductions of reason.. Perhaps thi seventh sense might be cultivated to good service.
