Return of the Jews to Palestute.
To the student of the Bible and
Church histdry there aro few current
subjects of more absorbing interest, or
of deeper significance, than the events
now almost daily transpiring. which
point to the repossession by th e
.° Jews
of their own lapd. The tide of pro ,, ress
after a lapse of centuries, may be said
to have fairly turned in that direction,
and the prayer long offered by that
chosen, but now scattered people, that
"Judy may be saved, and Israel dwell
securely; and that the Redeemer may
come to Zion," is undoubtedly hasten
iUg to fulfillment.
The Sultan of Turkey is encouraging
Jewish emigra•ion to Palestine, and is
offering to sell them us much lard as
they choose to buy, and it. is said has
even expressed his willingness to dis
pose of the Mosque of Omar to them,
which, it will be recoll e ct e d, stands nip.
on the very site of the Jewish Temple
on Mount Sloriah. The mosque is one
of the Mahommedans' most celebrated
shrines, being scarcely inferior in na
tienal importance to those of .Nietea ard
' Medina. Politicians and statesmen look
upon these indications as a legitimate
consequence of the liberalizing influence
of Mohammedan intercourse with Chris.
thins, and so they may be ; bat to the
reader of the yet unfulfilled pages of
Revelation, they also point to ‘vhat, as
it respects theJowish nation, "prophets
and kings" have long waited :Or, "Ma
died without the sight:: That the
Mosque of Omar should be in a fair way
: of passing into the hands of the people
' to whose fathers the site on which it
stands was once given-in an everlasting
covenant, is what no reader of secular
history fifty years aga could even have
dreamed would ever have come to loss.
Some of the hills around Jerusalem
have already become Jewish property,
and it is by no Means improbable that
some"of the present generation will i see
the entire city of Jerusalem again in
the hands of its ancient owners. That
mighty revolutions will hollow in the
veale of such an event is probably as
Artain as that the Jews will return; at
all events, affairs in that immediate re
giqn of the test must ere long become
an engrossing theme among the nations
of the earth. An able discussion of
this vast theme, and the- steps toward
the fulfillment of prophecy as they
transpire, will constitute a prolific field
for the religious press; and those ovine
mg the greatest familiarity with the
subject will doubtless find their en
, lightening disquisitions sought after
wall aridity.
A Second Tell, ta.the Mooting Line.
—Mr. Fred. Whitehead, of St. Louis,
is astonishing the sharp-shooters with
his marksmanship. A tew dars since,
Mr. T. F. Lennox stationed himself off
at the distance of tcn races, and placed
a common-sized lemon on the up of Lis
head. Mr. Whitehead took a pistol
and popped away at the lemon. The
ball entered fairly in the centre and eat
the lemon in two. During the perform
ance, Mr. Lennox, on whose head the
lemon was, stood with his arms folued
and coolly smoked his pipe. Had ho
moved an inch, or had the skill of
Whitehead failed, his soul would have
been sent instantly to eternity. We
scarcely know whom to admire the
most, Lennox, for his intrepidity, or
the marksman for his skill.
Carrying "Rails."—lt used to be
said of a person who had been imbibing
pretty freely, that ho was carrying
" brick," or more, according to the
amount indulged in. That phrase has
now, in the march of ideas, given place
to one equally if not more•expressivc.
At Chicago " rail" was substituted for
" brick," and now it is said of a man
under the influence of liquor that he has
got a " rail," or more, on , his back, ac
cording to the quantity lie has imbibed.

to base his tonsure fresh shaven, which
was accordingly done, and quite to his

in strict accordance with tonsorial pri
ces in the Expire from which ho came,
taking from his pouch and placing in
the hands of the barber one copper cash,
eight of which are equal to ono cent.—
So doing, he walked leisurely away.

And bring to hearts in sadness beating,

11/10EN'S RESOLUTIOIL
Oh, I will tell you of a fellow whom I have lately
seen,
Who is neither white or yellow, but altogether
green ;
His name it is not charming, 'tis only common
Bill,
And be wanted me to wed him—
But l'hardly think I will.
He told me of a cottage, of a cottage 'mongst
the trees,
And don't you think the yankee tumbled down
upon his knees—
And the tears the creature abed were enough
•
to start a mill,
And he wanted me to wed him—
Hut I hardly think I will.
He whispered of devotion, so lovely, pure and
deep,
But they sounded all so silly that I nearly fell
asleep ;
He thought it would be pleasant, as we journey
down the bill,
To go hand in band together—
But I hardly think I will.
Ile was here last night to see me and be made
no long a stay,
I began to think the blockhead never meant to
go away ;
At first I learnt *hate him, I know I hate him
' still,
And he wanted me to wed him—
But I hardly think I will.
I am sure I would not choose him, but the
' deuce is in it,
lie says if I refuse him be could not live a
minute;
And then the blessed bible plainly says we must
not kill,
So I thought the matter over—
And I rather think i will.

The Key to the Weather.
A letter of M. Conninek to the Cour
rier doe Mlles is exciting great atten
tion in Franco. It will be remembered
that Marshal Bugoaud proclaimed the
discovery of an ancient Spanish mane!
script, in which the natural laws which
govern the atmosphere were so clearly
laid down that nothing was left to
chance, and projects could be made
with the greatest security. These cal
culations, based upon 50 years' experi
ence, comprising (300 revolutions of the
moon, had enabled the author to foretell
the (coathnr to a nicety, and the Mar
shal, struck by the confidence with
which the - theory was broached, after
taking some little trouble to practice
the same rule of calculation, found it
unerring likewise.
M. de Conninck now comes forward
with his experience also, and at length
we can boast of possessing a key to the
pranks of the moon, winch will hence
forth render them completely harmless.
The weather, eleven times out of twelve,
is exactly the same during the whole
moon as on the fifth day it on the sixth
day it resembles the fifth, and nine
times out of twelve it is exactly the
Liaise as the -fourth day if the sixth day
resembles the fourth. This rule, say
M. de Conninck, is found invariable
eight months in the year. - The excep-
tions have hitherto been October, Feb
ruary, March and April.
A &td Case of Drowning.—On Sunday
morning week ass young girl, daughter
of Hugh King, of Piedmont, Va., was
crossing a • temporary footway across
the mouth of George's Creek, just as it
connects with the North Branch, she
fell off the log and was cirownded. The
Piedmont Independent says :
She was in company with several
other ladies and gentlemen, but. the
water was high and the currents of the
two streams so swift that rescue seemed
impossible. The whole day was spent
in laborious and fruitless search utter
the body, but it could not be found.—
She was an amiable and beautiful girl,
about fifteen years of age. Her mother
had gone to the city of Baltimore ou a
visit, arid had left her daughter in
charge of the household affairs. She
was on her way to church when the
melancholy and distressing accideut oc

iirThe Democratic minority of the"
view York Legislature have issued an
address to the people of that State ex
posing the misdeeds of the Republican
majority. Ameng other measures notio
,ed is a proposition to amend the consti
tution of the State so as to confer upon
negroes the right of voting. We quote
that part of the address as an evidence
of the drift of the Republican party,
' where it has undisputed
. power:
"Republicans in Favor of .11 7 e7ro Suf.
(rage.—Tho present Legislature 'has
consummated a work which was began
at, the organization of th 3 Republican
party, and which, interrupted. by acci
dent or design, is now ready to be sub
mitted to the people. We refer to the
alteration of the constitution, so as to
adridt negroes to free and equal suffrages
with. white citizens. The question has
been repeatedly determined by the peo
ple upon a direct vote; and upon the
adoption of the constitution of 1846 it
was negatived by a vote of 228,836
against to 85,306 in its favor. _
“What was characteristic in thisvote
was that the counties on Long Island
and the Morison, woro a considerable
portion of the colored population re
main, were hostile to such admission,
just in proportion to tho number of this
class among thorn; whilo the counties
on the northern borr:er and in tbo west',
which do not harbor any of this class,
were strongest iv tho exproEbion of a
desire for this association.
" Wo believe the judgment of ad/
people will ho declared now on the side
of those who spoke and acted from a
knowledge of the unfitness of this class
for citizenship. They will recognize 14
az tho first step in an attempt to intro
duce an inferior race into our militir4
our jury list,.our common schools and
our public offices. If the white electors
could overcome their repugnance to
such an association, they would still
hesitabe from motives of policy and
patriotic duty at arming with political
power an exceptional class of the popu.-
lotion, whose prejudices and sympa
thies place them in an attitude of hos
tility to the constitution. A portion of
those whom it is propos;..d to incorporate
into the electoral body are fugitive
slaves from the ;an the legisla
tion of this s inter, lettially consumma
ted, wits designed to increase their num
ber, .by offering to such fugitives the
protection of the State authorities, in
defiance of the Pedeml Constitution.
