James Brooks, senior edi tor of the N. Y. E.rprea, writes to that journal fruity the !icily Land, as fol lows : Upon my return to Bethlehem I rode by the tomb of Rachel—a small build ing with a whitened dome, and paving within it a high oblong monument, built of brick, and stuccoed over. The spot is wild and solitary—and not a tree spreads its shade where rests the beautiful mother of Israel. Christian, Jew and Moslem all agree that this is just the spot where Raet!el was buried, and all unite in honoring it. The Turks are anxious that their ashes may rest-near her's, anti hence their bodies have been strewn under tombs all around the simple ipinb of Rachel. Tho sweet domesue virtues of the wife have won their love and admiration, as the tomb of Absalom, near the brook of Kedron, their detestation; upon the latter they throw *stone, to mark their horror of the drsobediont son, while around the former, they wish, when they die, their bodies may be interred. Nor is this wonderful. The wife, worth fourteen years of service as a shepherd, mast have heed a wife worth having. The whole life of Rachel is, indeed, one of the most touching in Biblical history. Tho sweet shepherdess has left her mark upon the Memory of man, as well as her tomb. The tribute to her is the tribute to a good wife, and Infidel, Jew and Christian all combine to pay it.— The groat women of the earth—the Zenobias \and the Cleopatrus--have died, been buried, and their very place of buriaLboon forgotten, but to this day stands over the grave of Rachel, not the pillar Jacob set up, bat a modern monument in its place, around which pilgrims from every land under the sun gather, in respect and reverence for the faithful wife and good mother in' Israel. sir An English scientific paper says, that instead of riveting sheets of itun together, (the plan now in general use to make boilers,) a new process ,bite been succeasfully applied by unitini s the sheets and slabs of iron together in one complete mass by welding. A boiler on this principle has been made in Woolwich dockyard without& single seem or rivet, and is of cylindrical shape, 4 feet in diameter, 8 feet long, with an internal tube 2 feet 2 inches in die - Meter, and bell mouthed at the front, increasing to a D form, 3 feet 6 inches at the fire box, from which small tubes of 1} inches diameter proceed to the end of the boiler. The whole has been severely tested and proved to 180 lbs. on the square inch. The form of the boiler was selected as a test of the pos sibility of accomplishing the process, which appears to be now no longer dis putable, and which it is stated is Nattily applicable in the construction of heavy ordnance. Deck beams for the steam rams now in course of construction fur the British Navy, were being made by this process. Sir Some dispute having arisen be tween the Ilindoos and Christians in itmednugger, India, in regard to the drawing of water from the public tanks, tho former looking upon the latter as outcasts, the magistrates decided that the Christians could enjoy all the rights they bad before conversion. The Ifin dope, not satisfied with this, applied to the GoveTnor in Council, who not only confirmed the decision of the magistrates, but, went one step further, and remind ed the Hindoos that, according to their own Shasters, "the caste of the Ruler is e9nal to the higheA I" Thus all Chris. tuns being of "the cute of the Ruler," or of the British Queen, are made the highest at once. This, if carried out, will relieve the Christian missionaries in India of a great deal of annoyance. illirlinyor Wood, of New 'tork, is °Deaf the most indefatigable men alive.

GETTYSBURG, PA.: MONDAY, APRIL 2, 1800. Bums' in Life Benjamin Franklin attributed his success as a public man, not to his talents or his powers of speaking—for these were bet moderate—but to' his known integrity of character. " Hence it was," bo says, " that I had so much weight with my fellow-citizens. I Was but a bad speaker, never eloquent, sub ject to much hesitation in my choicie of words, hardly correct in language, *nd yet I generally carried my point.?',-- 1 Character creates confidence in me in 1 high station as well as in humble ife. It was said of the first Emperor A ex ander of Russia, that his personal e r j.si ector was equivalent to a constitut n. 'luring the wars of the Fronde, on taiga° was the only man amongst the French gentry who kept his castle gates unbarred ; and it was said of him, that his personal character was worth More to him than a regiment of horse. That character is power, is Arne in a much higher sense than knowledge is power. Mind without heart, intelligence with out conduct, cleverness without good ness, are powers in their way, but ttaey may be powers only for mischief. Wo niay be instructed or amused by them ; but it is sometimes as difficult to admire them as it would be to admire the dex terity of a pickpocket or the horseman shiph of a highwayman.

The Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Line.—Tho New York News, in un ar ticle advocating the bill now befere Congress fur the construction of a tele graph line to the Pacific, says : The country will, we think. hardly hesitate to urge at once on Congress the immediate construction of a tele graph to the Pacific, as well for the common defence as a military and naval auxiliary of the utmost consequence as for the general welfare—in adranciag science, encouraging navigation lied protect ingpmerty and life. The tele graph is nu t on l y the vehicle of thought, but of sensation.

It marks the progress of storms, the elattive of temperature and the fiuh tuations of the climate. The agenchis of nature that are disclosed without its aid only witLiin.a limited horizon are viewed by its agency over the whole country, and the eye of science is oil. shied to scan the area from the Pacific+ to the Atlantic and from the Gulf to the Lakes.

A correspondent of the Boston Courier recommends the " formation of a Socie ty for the promotion of Economical Marriages." He thus describes a "case" of the kind of social suffering tie would alleviate :—" There is a lady of my ac quaintance who has lately given her daughter in wedlock to a young man of estimable character, though of limited means—a phrase the cheap novelist's are habitually using; as if the fact that a roor man could bear a good. character was so rare as to demand a paragraph by itself. For several days before the wedding, I saw in the house of my friend extensive preparations on foot. An immense pile of cards wore sent out ; I the chambers were filled with seamstres ses; cabinet councils were held twice a , day below stairs by the parents and daughter, to settle the question coneern ing music,refresliments, seran ts, crock ery-ware, silver, and many other things. Each morning the young lady and fu ture husband were running about town to finish up the thousand details of the occasion ; and each night, the whole family, fatigued by the day's labor, re. tired to unrefreeh:ng slumber. At last the evening of, the performance came. It was preceded by hours of the most tiresome supervisicrn,.proparation, anx iety on every account, and when the maiden wont to her toilet, she was more fit for the attendance of`the family physician than of her bridesmaids.— Nevertheless there was no retreat; so, trusting to the excitement of the hours for physical force, she took the arm of the man with whom she was to go through life, himself almost as nearly worn out as she, and after having un dergone the ceremony of promising to love, honor, and obey, stood for three hours to receive the congratulations of the guests, the majority of whom felt the same interest in 019 scene as they might have at the theatre or ballet. Tho crowd finally dispersed, the last car riage drove away, and after a few hours of quiet, the happy pair took an early train of cars, and jolted about the coun try for ton days or thereabouts, on a pleasure trip !" The writer nirther enlarges on the difficuty of meeting the expenses of an ordinary wedding in 'these days, and then goes on to moralise thus instruc tively :—" The wonder is rather that so few young men are crashed at the commencement of their married life, than that so many forever cramp them helves by extravagance. Ilow many wedded pairs are there in this small city who dare to bo independent and com fortable, instead of sacrificing their con• tent to the outrageous claims of what is called public opinion ? how muny would not be ashamed to own that, be ing unable to purchase meat seven days in the week, they went to market only every other day ? flow many would not feel their cheeks .burning with an unmanly blush, should they venture to discuss with the wife at the breakfast table the comparative expense of fish, flesh or fowl, with reference to the day's dinner? And how many of the young wives of this metropolis are there, into whose hearts would not steal that horrible doubt as to whether they had done well in marrying so economical a man, were such a discus sion to arise ? And what is the result of all this cowardly shrinking from an absurd phantom ? Why, men become engaged in marriage, abd then drag on year after year, in the hope of being 'bettor able to support a wife,' till the beauty of the girl fades, the soul of the man withers, love dies out from the breast of the one or the other, and, in stead of two married lovers, the world rewires a flirt or a disappointed woman, a deceiver or cynic. Or, if the man avoids this Scylla, he rushes to his de struction in a worse Charybdis."

Double Meaning.—A perdbn who was recently called into court for the pur- pose of proving the correctness of a doctor's bill was asked by the lawyer whether" the doctor did not make seve ral visits after the patient' was out of clanger ?" 4 , No," replied the witness, " I considered the patient in danger as long as the doctor continued his visite." sir The young ladiee of oue of the villages in Jefferson, N.

To give any form of courage an avail able or working value, it is essential that it has two qualities, promptness and persistency. What Napoleon called " two-o'clock-in-the-morning courage" is rare. It requires great enthusiasm or great discipline to be proof against a surprise. It is said that Suwarrow, even in peace always slept fully armed, boots and all. "When I telazy," he said, " and wanted to entolt arcomtorta ble.sleep, I usually toolroffeme spur." In regard to persistency, history is fall of instances of unexpected reverses and eleventh hour triumphs. The battle of Marengo was considerably hopeless for the first half of the day, and a retreat was generally expected, on the part of the French; when Bosnia, consulti g ai Bonaparte, looked at his watch said—" the battle is completely lost, but it is only two o'clock, and we-shall have time to gain another." He then made his famous and fatal cavalry charge, and won the field. It, was from a noble appreciation of this quality of persistency, that, when the battle of Canso was lost, and Hannibal was mea suring by bushels the rings of fallen Ro man knights, the Senate of Rome voted thauks to the defeated general, Consul Trento. Marro, for not having despaired of the republic. Thus armed at all points, incapable of being surprised or exhausted, mirage achieves results which seem miraculous. It is an element of inspiration, some thing superadded and incalculab le,wben all the forces are exhausted. when we consider bow really formidable becomes the humblest of quadrupeds, cat or rat, when it.grows mad and desperate and throws all personal fear behind, it is clear that. there must be a reserved power in human daring which defies computation and equalizes the most fearful odds. Take one man, mad with excitement or intoxication, place him with his back to the wall, iv:knife in his hand, and. the fire of utter frenzy in his eyes, and who, among the thousand bystanders, dares make the attempt to disarm him? Deeper ate courage makes one a majority. Baron Trenck nearly escaped from the fortress of Glatt, at noon day,by snatching a sword from an officer, passicg all the sentinels with a sudden rush, aqd almost effecting his retreat to the mountains : " which inci dent will prove," ho says, that adven turous and oven rash daring will render the most improbable undertakings suc cessful, and that desperate attempts may often make a general more fortu nate and famous than the wisest and best concerted plans."—Arl'e. Monthly. San Arbudix's .Marriage. —Old Sam Arbuckle was tho nigger bailer to my bother, the arasiber of Congress from Virginny. Lie had permission to spouse Milken Sally, a slave on another planta tion. A night was fixed for the cere mony, the company assembled, and the colored preacher was there to tie the nuptial knot. Well, they waited and waited fur over so long, but the bride didn't make her appearance. At last Sam grew impatient; so says he to the preacher, "Look here, Brudder Culli fur, it's no use waiting fur that darkey: I knows her like a book--sho's dropped to sloop settin"fore do fire. I'se an thorized to speak for her, so jnst go ahead jest the same as if sba was bore." Old Oulliter thought this was a wise suggestion, and proceeded with the set.- vivo that united thorn in the holy bonds of matrimony. When the ceremony was over, off started the bridebmom in search of the absent bride, and, sure enough, when he reached her cabin there ho found her fast asleep by the fire, with some of her finery in her hand ; and she was terribly riled when she heared the wedding had come off and she was not there.—Sant Stack. • A Sad Sequel.—A letter from Charles town, Vu., to the ltichmond Dispatch, tells the following sad tale: "Mrs. Allibone, the oldest sister of George W. Turner, who was slain by John Brown and his associates, was buried hero to-day by the side of her brother. She died at Mt. Hope Lunatic Asylum, whither she was taken shortly after her brother's death. She never rallied after his mn.-der, but continued to sink until her broken spirit burst its earthly bonds and returned to its Mak er.

Romantic incident in the Life of a Young Girt.—Some time last August a promising' young lawyer of this city, while on a professional visit to Spring. field, Illinois, met the daughter of one of the most. prominent citizens of that place at the house of a mutual friend, and being charmed with - her fine per sonal appearance and varied accom plishments, made her an offer of his heart and band, and was promptly ac cepted. At length the lover awoke to the fact that he had some business en gagements to meet in this city the lat ter part of last week, and was therefore compelled to bid ter a reluctant fare well. Thebecond day after his departure the girl, to the great surprise of her pa rents, suddenly disappeared, and all ef forts to ascertain whither she had gone were unavailing. After spending a day without learning anything of her where abouts, they telegraphed the fact to her lover, who immediately returned to as sist in unraveling yhe mystery. To his great 4oy he found her odbe more among her friends, and learned the particulars of her mysterious disappearance and recovery, which are substantially as follows : After their separation, a few days before, she felt an unaccountable incli nation to follow her lover; but. know ing how imprudent such an act grauld be, she battled against it with all her will till the next day, whoa some irre sistible power Impelled her to tide coarse. Hastily collecting a few arti cles of clothing, she made her way un observed to the railway depot, and took the cars for Lafayette, Indiana, where she knew her betrothed would remain two or three days on his way home.— From this time till her arrival in Lafay ette, she seems to have been in a state of partial unconsciousness, and has no distinct recollection of anything that trilbspired. After walking about. the streets oc that town for some hours, the proprietor of the Bramble House, who had more than once observed her haggard appearance and singular man ner, kindly took her in, and after par taking of some refreshments and a few hours' sleep, ebo returned to conscious ness, and was at first not a little sur prised to find herself among strangers so far from home. Suddenly she re membered what she had done, anti in forming Mr. Dale, her protector, of the facts of the case, he placed her on the first train for Springfield, and notified her friends by telegraph that, she was on hiii`way home. Their joy oo meet ing her again was indescribable.—Cfn cinaati Enquirer.
