Jerusalem is, perhaps, unlike any other city to the world. The asidaiglu slumber is undisturbed by the shrill voice of the iron bone, as be thnitdera »l'»ng. proclaiming the inarch of science, aud bearing, with a speed swifter (ban eagle's wioga. the products of civilization, and the labor of getuns. The weary sufferer, through the long wa'rhnt of the sight reveller—one who has tarried long at a game of chanpe, and qaafled that cop which at I at bileth like • serpent, and stlngcth like an’adder— b e no cans * to curse the fireman's trumpet, which has startled him from his drwnhew riutnber The man of If terete re. who has labored long and sadly, until the sight has far waned, to bring forth from bis brain the creations of his fancy, that his loved enea may be preserved from •tarvation, will not have his cooscioasneu roused, and his weary mind called bath from the holy land of dreams, by the roll of toe .narkei cart, bnagiug to his memnrv that Aurora has already harnessed her heroes, and again the bordtBSomc cares of. day matt force bis. to site. No fire bell tells in which ward of the city the power of destruction is wasting, with more titan lightslag speed, and implores the strong arm and stentorian voice of the noble fireman to rsaene some helpless infant or trembling maiden from the suffocating flames. The weary mother, bending mver the cradle of her aick child, is not pained by the hilarity of the theatre going crowd. There are no brilliantly illuminated streets no light to be seen withotft, save the fitful glimmer of a paper lafftCra, carried by the bend of the solitary night-walker. No pol eemun stands aa sentinel. The soft light of the moon cannot peswtrale these narrow, dark alitTB. The daughters of music have been brou ht low. There is a quiet pervading these streets, in which the wind, even, seems weary and faint; and nothing finds sttevnoce. save the bark of a dog. the matin bail and the a»uisin’s try, deling oat his larabriouK summesa for ihe faithful Mahonimcdan to

FOR HARRIED COPPUA

In the flash and brilliancy of early married life, the first faint impression : of tbe futare husband and wife commance. As lovers, their separal • disi positions wire in a staje of pleasant antagonism,; as a wedded pair, they are presumed to be amalgamated, and form an entirety which recognizes mutual plM*ures. mutual interest, advantages and concessions, and the basis of their , mutual happiness. The hatband, even in tbe dawn of his marital bliss, should begin lo create in tbe wife's mind, those favorable sensations which are the precursors of those more solid ideas which bind woman to man—by that strong, invisible intercomuiunlondT sonT which only death ran iutet*opt This ol.ligation it eqnallj imperative on the wife! In tbe bey-day of the huslmod’s love, while his heart beats reponsive to her every wish, and his mind ia a fair tablet on which none bat summer thoughts are •Bgvaved. the should begin tbe study of hit character, so that when (hr nece>ei y may he sole to arcotumodaU; her own more plastic one to it, without mconvuafeasa. indeHl, aitb both of them this ahwafd early i* an object of a*stay, so that gendawlly there should craw up between them s cuncilintory of lose and w.a«.

Both husband and wife object to anything that looks like compulsion; they each tnin away from even h duty when clothed in repelling garments and from this it will be apparent how ncct-s-awry it is that the soil of the tempers, and’fiecaliar raenui ai d moral idioeju CTacies. should sis parly as prac icable, be sown only with those seeds which after years will yield thewweet smelling flowers that sin d such a delicious perfume over hallowed aud loug tried wed

WHY *0 MUCH BEAUTY IH FOLAMD. Brcaasr says Bayard Taylor, there, girls do not jemp from infancy to young lady hood. They are not sent fron the cra£a to tbe parlor, to dre a to sit still and look pretty. No, they are treated as children ahpuld be. During childhood, which extends tlir<mgb a period of several year, they are plainly and losrly dressed and allowed to ran romp and play in the open air. They take in the sunal-ine as does the fl»wer. They are not loaded down, girded “bout, and oppressed every way with count less frills and -upeiabundant fluances. sn as in be admired for their much clothing. Nor are they rendered tender and dyspep tic by continually istuSng with candies atnl sweet cakes.as are the majority of Ameri can childr- n. Plain, simple food, fire ami various t xercise. and abundance of sun ►bine during tbe whole poriod of childhood, are tne secrets of beauty iu after life.

One of John Brown's pikes is on oxhibi ion at Newton, Sussex county. It was nblajh-d through Mr. Irving Hull (formerly »r Newark, son of Jos. R. Hall of Near too.) who is a resident of Richmond, Va. and who was a member of one of tha atillitmry companies which accompnined Gov Wise to Harper'* Fairy Tha Register says -this weapon Is a long and broad kmTe. securely fastened to a pika or pole 6 tret in length, with an iron bill or guard abnut f or itichoa’in width. The btad- of tlie knife is ten inches long,and about two in width, tapering to a po at. »baipeiu d on each edse.and equally formidable for cot ting or tfarastimr. It is oae of the rao-i mumem-wo looking instruments that we ever beheld. Anyoneaho can handle al hayfork, might effvctually use this weaptial and prove tnwralf » match -for area aakiH ful wirlderof the bayonet. DisumuKKTKD Love.—Yes! ms-, has strong yearning for divmicrvsted In*, much more so than woman. Once convince a ma-: that you love him. traly for him Sell for hi* own self—-iadrpendemly of riches, rank, a tat ton, position, or any of the thoa sand and one advantage# that lit may Lid of—only, i say. make him feel that, and yon need norbe v»gr nice about tbemode in which yon go to work.

_ NI M15KR 27 An anecdote, ralaliva to Um laL* i*rufes*or \l ilsoo, is jnst now c'rcalaUngs When the suitor for the hand of Prufeaaor Wilin', daughter had gained the lady's approbation, he w»s, of course, retired to papa Having stated his. protiahly not unexpected case, the young gentU-man was directed to deriie the lady to rdme to her aether, and doobllesa her obedience ores i tempi. I'rolessor Wilson hod beforw turn, for review, son.e work, on tha fly-leaf of whi.-h was ilnly inscribed, ••With tho aothpr's'eomj lim- nts." He tore this out, pinned it to his daughter's cress, solemnly led her «o the yonng lover, and went back to hi* work.

A Frixxd—But. oh! the blessing it ia to have a friend lo ^ghom one can speak fearlessly on any suoject with whom one's meet foolish thoaght* coma o« simply and safely. Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of leeling safe with a person, ba* ing neither to weigh tbooght* nor measure words, but pouring them all right out. Just as they are. chaff and grain together, certuia that a faithful hand will take aud sif; them, keep what i* worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindm ss blow the real away.

To Kite Bens wri* Aixn*.—Notbinp more is necessary than to fill a largo stum* b-ttle with boiling water, and to pot it intr* the bed. which with tbe holster and piL b-ws, shoulu be pressed round it ic a heap. It is astonishing the number of hours it will be found warm. By ibiseimpla contri vance no nue need fear giving a friend a “damp bed." even if it is only done ones u fortnight. Care must be takea to have thu bottle well corked, end. la prevent accidents. it would be as well to tie it down. A jo ng lad in Newport, 4Mi*, while oat fishing reevi.Uy fell into the w*tar and . sank to tby jwtiom. He was takvn c ut wppurvstly d«ad by a man who hap|i«Bed tu bo near.
