Anecdote or Bcena Vis fa. James S.
JebnisoD, who u in the blood bat Ie of
But-B Vista, related to us, jenlerday, ibe
following anecdote that occured at ibe time,
or at least gained credeuce with tbs soldiers :
On the day of the battle of Bucoa Vista,
and at the time when the 2d Indiana regiment
waa uuder full retreat, one of the men came
arms a private belooging to the Arkansas
Cavalry, who was wouuded and unable to
get off ibe field. He hud d ismouuted from
hi horse, and was lying on the ground
ut the time iho Iudiauiau came along. The
Aikanas mini upon seeing. th ludiauiau,
asked him it be would help hiin n his borse
egaiu, which was standiug some twenty or
thirty yards fl the Indiaiiiuu, glad to get the
cbauce of i idiug .off the field, consented, and

While they wee leaving the field, a cwunon
ball from the eucin)'s battcy tKk off the head
of the Aikatiaas mnu, but the ludianiau did
uot notice it. Upon in riving at the doctor's
quaiters, he wa asked what he was going to
do with the mnu be had behind hiin ? He
eplied that he brought him iu lo get his leg
dressed. "Why, sir." replied ihe doctor, "he
has his bead shot off!'' The Iudi minu cast
hid eyes behind him and gazed ui the bloody
stump for a minute, and i eplied' Why the
tar ! he told me he was only shot iu the leg !'
Return Jonathan. Talking of names,
every one Kuows that a late postmaster-general
of the U. Slates was Return Jonathan
Meigs. His father, Mr Jotiuthitu Mig,
was one of the society of Frieud, and accord,
ingly, when be wanted a wife, be paid hi- ad-
dresses to a you nc nuaker. Ihe em wan
willing enough, as indeed is generally the
case when the question is put iu real earnest,
but her mother was a woman oi the old
huol, and, wishing to saddle her daughter's
iuamorota with sundry W'diou aud disagreea
ble pieliminaries, ti which he would not ac
cede, she one day gave hun his dHtnlssal
fhe daughter begau to sob aloud, the mother
began to soften, and before the young Sttep
hou had reached the outer gate, the old lady
threw up the pailur-window, and, at the top
of her shrill voire, called out, "Return Jona
than ! thee shall tuwe my daughter !" Joua
thnn did accordingly measure back his steps,
and, iu remembrance of the hiippy invitation,
called his first son Return Jonathan JSleigs.
Sir Isaac JYetoton. This illustrious phil
osopher was once riding over Salisbury
plain, when a boy, keeping sheep, called lo
hiin " Sir, vou had better make haste on,
or ou will j?et a wet vjeket. iewion,
ooked around, and observing1 neither clouds
nor a speck on the horizon, jogged on, taking
very little notice of the rustic s information.
He had made but a few miles, when a storm,
.suddenly arising, wet him to the skin. Sur
prised at the circumstauce, and determined,
if possible, to ascertain how an ignorant boy
had attained a precision and knowledge in
the weather, of which the wisest philosopher
would be proud, he rode back, wet us he
was. 'My lad,' ssid Newton, 'I'll give thee
a guinea if thou wilt tell ine how thou canst
i'oietell the weather so tiulv." " W HI ye, sir f
I will, then," said the boy, scratching his
head, and holding out his hand for the
guinea. Now, sir," (having received the
money, and pointing to the sheep,) when
you see that black ram turn his tail towards
the wind, 'tis a sure sign of rain within an
hour." " What !" exclaimed the philoso
pher ; ' must I, in order to foretell the
weather, stay here and watch whtrh way
that black ram turns his tail ?" " Yes, sir.
Off rode Newton, quite satisfied with his
discovery, but not much inclined to avail
himself of it or to recommend it to others.
A clergyman, who was in the habit of
preaching in different parts of the country,
was not long ngo at an inn, where be observed
a norsejorkey iryiog 10 tatte in a simpie
gentleman, by imposing upon hiin a broken
winded horse for a sound one. Ibe parson
knew the bad character of the j.iekey, and,
inking the gentleman aside, told hitn to be
cautious of ihe person he wus dealing with.
fhe gentleman finally declined the purchase,
aud Ihe jockey, quite nettled, observed "Par
son, I had much rather tv-ar yu preach, tban
see yon ptivately interfere iu bargains between
man and man. in this way." Well, (replied
the poison,) if you bad been where you ought
to have been, lust Sunday, you might have
heard me prt-ach." ' U here was thai?"'
irquiied the jockey.
"In the State Prison," returned the clergy
man.
Latin scholars. The following anec
dote is from the Essays of Sir Francis Bacon:
A company of scholars goiug together lo
catch conies, carried one scholar with them,
who bad not much more wit ibau be wssbom
with; and to him they gave in charge, that if be
saw any he should be silent for fear of scar
ing them. But he no sooner espied a com
pany of rabbits before the rest, than he cried
aloud, Ecce mulli eunicvli, which in English
sigoifies, Behold many conies;' which be
had no sooner said, thau the conies ran to
their burrows; aud he, being checked by
them for it, aoawe-ed, " Who the devil would
have thought the rabbits understood Latin "
A rtLLow in the Mayor's Court of Phila
delphia, was called on to plead to an indict
ment, and to bold up his band. He held up
bis left; upon which be waa ordered by the
cleik to bold up his right hand.
"I am left-handed," said the culprit.
Arabian Horse A moat moving
incident! illustrative of the extraordinary
strength as well as attachment or the Ara
bian horse, is given by Lama rt ine in his
beautiful Travels in the East :
" An Arab chief, with his tribe, had at
tacked, in the night) a caravan of Da mas,
and plundered it. When loaded with their
spoil, however, the robbers were overtaken
on their return by ome horsemen of the
Pseha of Acre, who killed several, and bound
the remainder with curds. In this state of
bondage they brought one of the prisoners,
named Abou el Marck, to Acre, and laid
him, bound hand and fool, wounded as he
was, at the entrance to their tent, as thev
slept during the night. Kept awake by
the pain of his wounds, the Arab 'beard his
horse's neigh at a little distance, and being
desirous tit stroke fur the last time the com
panion of his lite, he dragged himself, bound
as he was, to his horse, which was picketed
at a little distance. 'Poor friend,' said he,
'what will you do among the Turks 1 You
will be shut up under the roof of a khan, with
the horses of a pacha or an ag ; no longer
will the women and children of the tent
bring you barley, camel milk, or dourra,
in the hollow of their hand ; no longer will
you gallop free as the wind of Egypt in the
desert ; no longer will vou cleave with your
bosom the waters of the Joidan, which cool

I am to be a slave, at least may you go free.
Go : return to our tent, which you know so
well ; tell my wife that Abou el Marck will
return no more ; but put your nead still into
the folds of the tent, and lick the hands of
our beloved children." With these words,
as his bauds were tied, he undid with his
teeth the fetters which held the courser
bound, and set him at liberty ; but the noble
animal, on recovering hi freedom, instead of
bounding away to the desert, bent its head
over its master, and, seeing him in fetters
and on the ground, took hi" clothes gently
in his teeth, lifted hiin up. and set off at full
Mpeed towards home. VI ithout ever renting,
he made straight for the distant but Well
known tent in the mountains of Arabia. He
arrived there in safe'.y, and laid his master
safe down at the feet of his wife and chil
dren, and immediately dropped down dead
with fatigue. The whole tribe mourned
him ; the poets celebrated his "fidelity ; and
his name is still constantly in the mouths of
the Arabs ol Jericho."
This beautiful anecdote paints the man
ners and horses of Arabia bet let than a thou
sand volumes. It is unnecessary to cay,
after it, that the Arab aie and ever will be
the first horsemen, and have the finest race
of horses in the world.
Tilt Wife. II needs uo guilt to break a
husband's heart ; the absence of content ; Iho
muttering of spleen, the untidy diess and
cheeiless home, forbidding scowl and de
serted hearth ; ihe.-e and other namclest ne
glects, without a crime among them, huve bar
rowed to the quick the heart of mauy a mnu,
and planted there, beyond the reach of cure,
the germ of dark despair. Oh ! may womau
before that sad sight anives, dwell on the re
collections of youth, and cheri-h the dear idea
of that tuneful time, awake and keep alive the
promises she ihen kindly gave ; and though
she may be the injured, not the injuiin one
the forgetting wife a happy allusion to the
hour of love -a kindly welcome to a comfort
able home a rnile of love to banish hostile
wuid a kiss of peace to pardon all the pnt,
and the haidest heait that ever locked itself
within the breast of mnn will soften to her
charms, and bid her live, as she hoped, her
years in matchless blis loved, loving, aud
content the soother of the sorrowing heart
the source of comfort, aud the spring of joy.

JEWS the descendants of Abraham, sr)
railed from Juda, one of the twelve sons of
Jacob, r'oucerning their laws and customs
the reader may consult the books of Moats-
and may find a partial account of their reli
gion and constitution in the epitome prefixed
to this work.
The modern Jews have adopted many
.i . i - .
very singular practices ana irauuions un
known to their forefathers When any
person of their religion is buried, the nearest
relation keeps the house for a week, sitting
on the ground all the time, exrept ort the
Sabbath-day, when he attends at public
prayer. During this week they do no busi
ness: the husband and the wife lodge apart)
and at least .ten people assemble morning
and evening to pray. They offer up suppli
cations for the oul of the person deceased
all triat week, at the close of whfch term they
repair to the synagogue, light up lamps,
and repeat iheir prayers, promising more
ver, to distribute alms in behalf of the de
parted soul. This charitable service") they
justify by the tradi'iuu of their frtfe-elderSj
is reiterated at Ihe end of every month, and
of every year; and it is custousary for the
son to s.iy each morning and evening the
prayer for the soul of his father or mother1.
They believe a paradise, where the blessed
enjoy the beatific vision ; and a hell for
wicked men, in which some shall ronlinuti
for ever ; others, only for a time. No Jewf
however, unless he be a heretic or noucon-fotmi-itlo
the dictates of their rabbins, shall
remain in hell above a year.
Their creed consists of thirteen article,)
!. 1 hat there is one God, the Creator of all
things, -all-perfect and all-sufficient. 1.
That he is an uocompounded, individual
essence. 3. That of course, he is imtnate
rial. 4. Absolutely eternal. 5. Alone to
be worshipped and adored by all his Crea
tore. 6 They maititaiti-that there have
been formerly, and may still arise certain
extraordinary personages called prophet.
7. That Moses is the greatest of ihe pro
phets. 8. That every syllable of the la
was given to Mosea by inspiration t and that
the traditionary expositions of the precepts
were entirely a divine revelation committed
to him. 9. That laW is immutable ; iff
contradiction to the whole tenor of the gos
pels and christian revelation. 10. Thit
God knows and governs all things. Hi
That he reward the observance, and Putl
Uhes the violation of his laws. 12. They
vainly expect the appearance of the Mes
siali, whose coming, say they, is delayed
13. They believe that God will raise the
dead to life, and judge all mankind.
Modern Jews are divided into two
branches The Caraitee, who adopt as
their sole rule in religion tbe law of Moses
and the Rabinisls, who receive also the tra
ditions of the Talmud, which is a repertory
of the most extravagant tales, and Idle
dreamt of their rabbins. The Talmud of
I Jerusalem) though more obscure, is of more
ancient date than that of Babylon, which
however, is grnorallv preferred, as being
more extensive. The present wandering
state of this once chosen generation, is a
striking exemplification of the Divino wrath)
heretofore denounced against hem for hav
ing impiously put to death the Saviour of tbe
world.
