(For the Davette.T.) THE FAMED JEWELS. We toss them about 6arelessly every day,llt tle thinking of their inestimable value, as the Indians of Nevada, to borrow a simile, gallop-, ed over mines of richest 'gold unknowing the treasures beneath their feet, and in need of ev erything 'those treaiures . might be made to bring them,so we handle these jewels as though they were quartz pebbles,or bits of stone,shells, or frigments of slate, when, in reality,' they are the brightest diamonds, pearls, arid rubies, and our hearts are hungering for just what ,they can bring us. When 'we have lost them,\ ah, \then- their val , ne begins to be estimated at som l ething near its true value. What are' th se jewels ? Their names are Father, Mother, Husband, Wife, Brothers and Sisters. Gems are these of.. "pur est ray serene," though often shining unnoted their radiance quenched i by ignorance, their lustre dimmed by rough handling, their Value quite unknown andunaprireciated. ~ • Father—it is the name first pn our lips when we bow to God ; and as we explore the wealth of meaning, all language fails, toexpresi the infinities that open to us. , No father can disin herit his son of these, no "bickward mutter- ings of dissevering power" can take from the son what he has receivedfroln his father. 'Mother—the best,and 4lorious name of all , is the first on tlie.ehild's lips, first in-the heart of the sorrowing, the symbol of lov.iiirperisha- - ble, unfathomable, and only' less tan - the infi nite love of God. It was thb lost human name upon the lips of the dyini Son of faod—"Be hold thy Mother!" Husband and Wife—these are jewels com plementary, and borrow their brightest lustre each from the reflections of the other. The parent gems are these of all the sweet relations of life. The love of the husband and wife Is not all fleshy. It is ever fitting that union of bodies should be mated by be holier union of soul in soul. For them the roses drop their thorns ; (or them Decembers are May daye.-- This dual angel can uncrown death, fling away his scythe, and turn ,his hour -glass to a garland; for death is but a, name for those who, nited iti'in the flesh,are more truly ,united into id ortal oneness of soul. • • , :Brothers and Sisters—in these we have the varied charities, interchanges of life. For if we understand the significauCe of the Divine hand-writing in earthly ties, they are but im ages of the heavenly school-matiters to train 'us for the higher school into which the transition of - of death takes us. ......_ .._ —OO. •li. De Quincey, for 'instance, boldly refused ''to believe a single story of 'brilliant repartee ; but a retort of thlesort which meets the ear in so cirty, not the eye in a book, ise fact that -pan not be gainsaid, an effort that cannot be forgot ten, and twit' wit does this for its fellowt—it dispels this ungractous incredulity. , .Inl tiao presence of Otte indubitable flash of fad cy we' can give credit to rectirded triumphs of the same faculty In others. 1 . • But there is another, and a more generous, ground for delight watnessing.tidi dashing, prompt readiness of the faculti4 in rnsfting attack. It Is ordinarily the , Man taken at dis advent/we and open to insult or insinuation through - smite weak point, as we might be , our selves, who excites our sympathies. He stands forth the champi9n ox . .the unready, who feel themselves avenged through him. The insolence of the wbole prnaperous side of life gete a snub when some sharp arrow of .a rejoinder hits its mark. 01 course cynicism. has its own line of repartee, :and gets quoted for its ready sayings, such as the reply of the aristocrat, of - the old regime to - the poor pheas ant's plea, - "A. man must, live" I Ve n'en, vow Pau la 7i.ecesBite.' But coqmpt nsver excites sympathy. We must always side with the sett tlment bidden in a 'retort,g we are to enjoy Coleridge, m addition to his deeper and loft , ier faculties, had this power of retort attributed to illo3 in early life, in& as. we gather from the history, of a particular ride, could apply it ac cording to time iteneibilitlea l of his opponent.-- The horse and 'get-up of the - rider On thieve cation were allita :open to Yuigai: critichtm, ajid II low weg,appteeleting.iiie general ifregtsas ed REFAMTER the poet if he had met a tailor lik&himself.— "Yes," was the reply ; "and he said he had just lost his goose." • \ After. this lowly triumph his road brought him within hail of & more . distinguished party ,Of horsemen, !one of whom, a sporting! M. P., known to have been bribed by the Ministry, stopped, him to inquire, the priee'of horse and rider. "The horse," was the answer, "is a hun dred guineas ; as for the rider, as he is not , in 'Parliament yet, I have not fixed his price." • A story is told of the late Marquis de Boissy, who showed the same disregard of appearances, attended by the, same power of holding his own under any guise - or disguise.. When presented to the late Emperor, his new uniform not being ready, he made his appearance in an old court costume of his ,grandfather's, a man of vastly largei physique than himself. The Emperor received him kindly, but some of the courtiers grinned. Prince Murat, son of the unfortunate Kink of Naples; could not refrain front a re mark' on the drollness of his dress. "Yes." said De Boissy, "c'est vrai, nionseignenr, et si tous eau. qui viennent ici devalent porter les costumes de leurs . grandsperes,.on en verrait de Mien plus droles encore ;" the point, of course, being the well' known humble condition of the .Prince's own ancestry. IX Mi EXSTACY BECAUSE HIS WIFE WAS HANGED. Sir Walter Scott used to be fond of - telling the following Story of his cousin "Wady." --, Watty aforesaid was a midshipman in the army. On a certain occasion - be and his mess mates had gone OA shore at Portsmouth, and had overstayed their leave, besides spending their money and running up a bill at a tavern at 1 the Point. Theft' ship made a signal for sailing,peremptorily calling all hands on board, but when they would have started the landlady said "No, gentlemen, you canart escape without paying• yourreekoning." And •to confirm her words she called a bailiff and his posse to take charge of them. . The midshipman felt they were' in a bad scrape and begged to be released. "No, no," said the resolute.matron, "I mus t be satisfied in some way. You mast be aware, gentlemen, that you will be totally ruined and disgraced if you do not go on board in time' They groaned bitterly, for she spoke the truth. "Well," she* continued, "I'll give you all a chince, I am so .circumstanced 'here -that I cannot well carry' on my business as a single woman, and I must contrive somehow to have a husband, or at - all events, I must be able to prodnce a marriage certificate. Now, the only terms upon . which I will set you free are that , one of you will consent to marry me I don't care a snap which it is.; but,by all that is h6ly, one of you 1 will have for a husband, or else you all go to jail and your ship sails without you." .• ThC vixen was not to be coaxed nor treated. Tears and prayers were of no avail. After a time the pcior middies agreed to draw lots.— Watty drew the matrimonial slip of doom. No time was to be lost. The marriage lincense was speedily procured and they went to the nearest church, where the knot was tied. The bride on her return to the tavern gave them a goodi dinner,, with plenty of wine, and then sent them oft' in her wherry., - Of her own accord she had propoied toiler husband, that as the marriage certificate was her chief prize, he was at liberty to live apart from her forever if he `,so choose. The'ship sailed, and the young gentlemen re:. ligibusly adhered to. the oath of secrecy they had made previous to drawing lots. A year after,at Jamaica, a file of English papers reach ed the midshipman's berth, and Watty, who was carelessly looking them over, was attract• ed \ by the 'account of a robbery and murder, and the execution of the culprits at Ports mouth. Suddenly leaping to his feet, and wav ing the paper above , his _bead, forgetful of his oath in the excitement of exstacy, he cried out: "Thank Heaven ! My wife is hanged !" LANG. AND RAND RIDES. An English journal commenting on the feat of a Mexican; in London riding fifty miles in side of five hours, gives instances of English nken 'riding iong distances in a short space of Übe; such as that of Cowper Thornhill, who, in 1745; rode two hundred and thirteen miles in twelve hours. . Another &Mous horseman was Bernard Cal vert, of Andover, who, in 1621, left Shoreditch In theparning at three o'clock, rode.to Dover visited Calais in; a §arge, and by eight next eve ning•was again in London, the riding portion of the journey being 142 miles. A much more celebrated man than either was Sir Robert Cary, WS° in.,1638 rode 400 miles in three days, in order to.:be the first to convey the news of Queen Elizabeth's death to James I. in Edinburgh. Finally, no less a peisonage than Cardinal Woolsey is said to have owed 'his first rise in life to a rapid ride In 1507, when chaplain to Henry VII., he went on a mission to the Em peror kaxmilian, then at a town in the Low Countries, and returned to London in two days from the time of starting. It was accomplish ed chiefly by rapid _riding on .the lane portion of the route, but the • ride carried the ,Wily churchman along the road to greatness. It must also be remembered that all orthese . rides were ordinary petting, on bad roads, and most ly unprepared fox. • , In' 1831 . Ozzbaldiston, at New Market, 'rode 200 ,miles in eight hours and forty-two minutes, using no inwer than twenty-,eight horses. Oetobes, 1791, Mr. Wilde rode 127 miles at the Curragh in six hours and tweritylone minutes, using ten thoroughbred horses. Thus the feat of the . MeXiCall, though re •markable, has been more than outdone under far les favorable circumstances., Woman's honor is nice as ermiae—:will not beS 4 r s soil. 72 OM WlOl2 PURIFIES THE BLOOD, RENOVATES AND aN VIGURATES THE WHOLE SYSTEM.

VALUABLE INFORMATION. Raton, Dec.. 12,1869. 4entrefnen—My only objeet in giving you this testi monial is to spread valuable information. Having been badly afflicted with Salt Rheum, and the wh',le surfa ce' of my skin being covered with pimples and eruptions, many of which caused me great pain and annoyance, and knowing it to be a blood disease, I took many of then vertised blood preparations, among which was any quantity of Sarsaparilla. without obtaining any benefit until I commenced taking the Vegetine, and be fore i had completed the first bottle I saw that I had got the right medicine. Consequently. I followed on with it until I had taken seven bottles, when I was pronounced a well man, and my skin is smooth and m ural, free from pimples and eruptions. I have never enjoyed sogood health 'before, and I attribute it all to the use of Vegetine. To benefit those afflicted with Rheumatism, I will make mention abio of the Vege tine's wonderful power of caring me of this acute com plaint, of which I have suffered so intensely. C. H.
