Brand them On their foreheads brazen,:
Sink it deep!
Let the traitor's shameful blazon
Never sleep. .
Brand them e'en as Cain was branded,
Through the'warld
Let their serail of abatis& be banded,
Broad unfurled.
Brand them in the public highways
With your scorn,
Hid the mark in private by-ways
!Still be borne.
From the board, where true men gather,
Drive thtm out!
Fill.the tenet 'With atrdngere, rather
Thin,thie rout.
Trade with foe or sup with stranger,
Pass these by;
Who, amid their country's danger,
Bid her die!
Plotting treason foul, inhuman,
liainst their land,
With such traitors let no true man
Strike his hand.
Through the coining generations,
.Let their noose
By-word be, for execrations,
Scorn and shame.
Brand them deep, though direst rain
On them fall,
They who plot their land's nodding
Forfeit all.
No time this to prate or palter— :
Mark them well!
Sink them, .patriot, without falter,
Deep as hell!
WB 808 UT.
We have met, and we have parted,
We may never meet again ;
But as o'er life's troubled ocean
Toes our bark upon the main.
Thoughts will come of that MI
Lighting up the weary way,
Like a beacon 'mid the tempest
Or a btar's mild beaming ray.
We may meet no more in earth land—
But when death shall close uur eyes,
Let us gather with God's children,
Round his throne in Paradise.

If You Mean No, Say No.
When a wan has made up his mind to do
or not to do a thing, he should have the
pluck to say so plainly and decisively. It is
a mistaken kindness—if meant as a kindness
- to meet a request which you have deter
mined not to grant, with "I'll see about it,"
or, "I'll think the matter over," or, "I can
not give you a pusitive answer now; call in
a I'm ifiry - sTuid - 111 - 10. - you know." It may
be said, perhaps, that the object of these
ambiguous, expressions is to "let the appli
cant down easy;" but their tendency is to
give him useless trouble and anxiety, and
possibly, to prevent his seekiug what he re
quires in
_a more propitious quarto' until af.
tor the gulden opportunity has passed.—
Moreover, it is questionable whether the
motives tor such equivocation are as philan
thropic as some people suppose. Generally
speakii.g. the individual-wioa-tlrturavaii.•
direct refusal, dues so to avoid himself pain.
Men without decision of character have an
indiscribable averSiou to say No. Their cue
think Nu—soinetiaiev wheii ,t would be wore
- creditable to their courtesy Wind benevolence
to think: Yes--but they dimike to utter the
bold word that represents their • thoughts.—
They prefer to mislead and deceive- It is
true that these bland and considerate people
are often,spoken of 'very gentlemanly:"

Rellgion , inSuid, 'Fides
The utneig4t metropolis .of, Judea contains
about 20,4)00 r This a very
small number if we ptimpare it with its for
mer. greatiiess,,butyre .must,mat forget
.that
Jerusalem - has been ; dick, devastated,, yhioed
and burned, , and-that it is now under a cruel
and servile Oespetisin. How long will it be
before the day.of deliverance shall diwe on
this city where,tho Son , of God Was cruci
fied? . •
Among the 20,000 inhabitants, 10,00' are
Jews—a degraded and urifOrtunite race, who
are strongly attached to the walls of this city
rendered sacred by their fathers. The 'Pol
ish or German Jews area little b ett4r edu
cated mad wore moral than the Spanillh Jew
but both are, for the most peat, groi;l,:y ig
noran t. They , read the Talmud a great
deal more than the OW Testament, and ,
imagine that they are performing a inerito-
Fiona work before God by . studying the
rabbinical traditions. They live principally
on the alum which they receive from the
Jews in Europo, Asia and America; fur they
believe that the prayers, ana readi lig of the
' Talmud,. performed in the city of David,
help to atone fn the sins committed by A
braham's posterity throughout the rest of
the world.
The Greeks or ehristians of the eastern
church, number 4,500 to 5,000 within Jeru
salem 14. Gabot, after a faithful investi
gation,.gives,a sad account of their religious,
moral and social condition. No knowledge
of the Word of God among them; the wor
ship of images and relics, the mingling of
spiritutal things with political and material
Interests; tyranical find covetous bishops,
ignorant priests, fanatical monks. There
are exceptions, and some Greeks; ecclesias
tics, laymen, willingly listen to evangelical
preaching; but the mass of this sect are un
enlightened and degraded.
The Latins or Roman Catholics in Jerusa
lem compose a congregation numbering a
bout GOO. The patriarch named Valerga,
displays great pomposity in his dress as well
as in his pastorial duties, and pretends to
control the ehristians of other denominations
These Paptists, wha are mostly priests or
monks, have frequently quarrels among
themselves. The Franciscads possess large
revenues,
and are not disposed to obey the
orders of the patriarch Valerga and the Ital
ian .riests.
ht meeting
The' Protestants compose a mall commu
nity of from 450 to 500 souls. They belong
to various nations—Germans, English, Swiss
etc.—Several aro converted Greeks or Jews.
They enjoy full liberty in the exercise of
their religion.
Lastly. the Massa'marts, 3,000 to 4,000
in number, constitute the remainder of the
mutation of Jerusalem. They make up
for their numerical inferiority by their niili
tary and social perogatives. The governor
of the city must be Mahommedon. Lie has
under hitt command an armed force which
maintains public order. The judge and
other magistrates are also chosen among the
disciples of the false prophet. These Mus
autumns respect the lite and property of the
christians, because they fear the great pow
ers of Europe. Bat their hatred toward
the disciples of Christ-is-always the smie -,
and if any calamity should come upon 'them.
they would be ready to imitate the horrible
massacres of Damascus and Mount -Lebnn-
In the other. provinces of Palestine, the
Massalinens are more numerous. There are
however, christians and Jews at Nazareth,
Bethlehem, in the remote mountains, etc
There are thirty Samarian families living at
Nablous, the ancient Capital of Samaria.

zia' is the most acceptable spot to the Lord
sacrifiees. Their priest, or spiritual lead
er, is a well•meaning man, who has consen
ted to read the Bible through attentively ;
but his hereditary prejudices have as yet
prevented him from accepting the Gospel.
Seed-Time and Harvest. -
Life is see d.time : the harvest is to be rea
ped hereafter. In this world we sew; in e
ternity we shall reap: This is aeording to
the analogy of nature. We always sow be-
oro we reap; so o space o lute' in ei
venes between seed-time and harvest. We
never expect to gather a crop as soon as we
pit the seed in the ground. •The harvest
follows seed-time after an interval; it does not
proceed nor accompany it. It is so in this
ease. Some think we reap as we go a!ong—
that harvest and seed-time are all together
-that we are punished iu this world for our
sins; bat it is not so This is coutiary to
nature. • This life is seed-time,; the harvest.
is not yet, but will be by and by, the judge
ment is to come. It is appointed unto men
once to die pbut after this the juilgoinent
The judgement is not'before death but after
it ; just as the harvest is not before the seed
time. but after it. And it is well to reniem
bar that, the hirvest always follows seed-time,
and partakes of its nature : for whatsoever a
wan soweth, that shall he also, reap. If he
sows wheat he. shall reap .wheat; if he sows
tares he shall reap them. They who spend

The Doctor and Dirty Feet.
Dr. H— J , of New Hampshire,
was one of the most able, talented and eccen
tric surgeons of the last century. His prac
tice embraced a large circuit, and his• fame
extended to every part of the State. The
doctor was one morning sitting in his office,
pouring ov'er_some medical work fresh from
the mother country, via. Boston, when a
loud rap at the door aroused him. Come in,
said he, abd an old female hobbled into the
apartaient,-who-seemeit-to-he-the—very—em
bodiment of dirt and negligence.
'Doctor, I've got a desperate sore foot.—
Can you help it ?'
I will try. Let me see it.,
The old crone proceeded to divest her un
derstanding f the apology for a hose with
which it was covered, and displayed to tho
astonished doctor a foot—and such a foot.
Heavens ! exclaimed the man of medicine,
throwing up both hands is amazorneaVwhat
a dirty toot ?"
'La ! doctor you needn't be in such a won
derment about it. There's dirtier teet ;n the
world I'se warrant—and a dirtier foot than
that in your own house, as proud as the
young ladies, your daughters,
are for all that;
and the old lady cackled for her pleasure at
the doctor's astonishment.
'Woman ! if you can find a dirtier foot
than that in my house, I. will give you a
guinea and cure your foot for nothing.'
Whereupon, the old woman stripped off
the stocking, and displayed a foot that beg
gared all description,_ and grinning in the
face of the astonished doctor, exclaimed :

The Atlantic Ocean. -
The—Atlautic—Oceatt—includes—an—area—of-,
25,000,000 miles. Suppose an inch of rain
to fall upon one-fifth of this vast expanse it
would weigh 360,000,000 tons, and the salt,
which as water is held in solution in the sea,
and which, when the 'water was taken up as
a vapoi, was left behind to disturb the eqat
lihrium, weighed. 16,000,000 more tons, or
nearly twice as much as all the ships in the
world could carry.at a cargo each. It might
fall-in-a-day-;-but occupy-what-time-it-might ,
in falling, this rain is calculated to exert so
mu; 11 force—which is inconceivably great— '
in disturbing the equilibrium of the ocean.
If all the water discharged by the-Missis
sippi River during-the year were taken uri
in one mighty measure and east into the
ocean at an effort, it would not make a great
er disturbance in the . equilibrium of the sea
than the fall of rain supposed. And yet, so
gentil are the operations of nature that
movements so vast are unperceived !

once received a reproof, indirectly, from.one
of the teachers of Kishacoquillas &injury,
who Was in niy Schoi): us a visifer.' kii sis
ter, a girl seventeen or eighteen years of age,
was also tpreseut as-a pupil. The geneeinan
inrquestiou went to her and,,reproved her a
loud for the improper way she sat at her
desk showing her how she ought tO sit, and
spoke something of "Physiology" in regard
to thematter. )Thus I was reproved„. for I
had said nothing to my pupils in regard to
this.
A high writting ,desk may nal° so objec
tionable as some suppose, provided both
shoulders of the pupil are kept equally ele
vated while sitting at' it; but where one
shoulder is elevated while engaged in writ
ing or study, and the other not, the spinal
column is curved from side to side, bj the
position, and when this position is long con
tinued the tendency is to produce a perma
nent curvature of the spine. This will be
indicated by one shoulder, higher than the
other. Should it amount to deformity, the
mere deformed appearance wilt - not be of so
much account as the consequent distortion
to the chest, thereby interfering with proper
breathing, aad so tending to
,bring on dis
ease of the lungs. E— was an interest
ing pupil of tea years. who attended the
district school. The Girl ' s right shoulder
was• higher than the left, es but the teacher
hadn't noticed this until Mrs. the girl's
mother told him of it. He was careful af-
terwards to tequire - this - pupit - to‘keep -her
left arm elevated as much as convenient,
• while in school, as in writing to have both
arms to rest - egually•on the desk, to sit erect,
