The arts of casting small images' or ornaments

process of graving on gems, were known .and rnci&
- tioned. at a very" earlyj period of history.

We perceive in' the accurate details of the'lTe
brew writings, that Jonah u paid his fare," like a
passenger, from Joppa, a port on the Mediterranean,
to Tarsliish, probably LssuS on his route to Nine
veh ; v where Mr. Layard is said to have discovered
a monument erected.' to his memory; at any rate
inscribed wifJt his name. But Mr. Layard men
tions that "no coins have been discovered among
. the Assyrian ruins, nor is there anything in the sculp
": tureskto show, that tlie : Assyrians .were, acquainted
. with money, as in, fEgypt" It is also remarkable
, .that no Doing of grat antiquity have yet been
found in Egyptian ruinN altho Egyptians
are known to have had a metallic t'-vjency.
Herodotus -isited Babylon, " whicujj gave
laws-to all 'the nations of the East," abouv o 300
years ago, and then described the signs of Me
cay". Ue relates that "all the coini. which reniaiu.
ed from the surplus revenues of Asia, after defray
ing the current expenses of the year, were melted
into earJhern, jars. When the metal cooled the
jars were broken, and the bullion placed. in the
treasury." ' -
It has .been discovered, both in Nineveh and
Egypt, that letters and places Avere engraved on
rthern tiles, and it would be a curious discovery
if some of these .ornamented cylinders, tiles, or
bricks "should prove to bercceijjfrf for funds dj'awn
trom the anc'ient Assyrian or - Egyptian treasuries,
or bonds which have tyeen presented, redeemed, and
paid. .. '. V .
Letrus suppase that, for the dispatch ojf busi
ness," tiles, thin bricks, Or cylindei-s of clay and
earthenware, stamped' with the sovereign's seal,
biaiing his name and titles, (Hgured imagvs
within a 'scroll,) were employed as evidences of de
jxmttcx in the public trMsffry, or were issued by
tlie, prope-r officers as durdbh receipts for1 bullion,

of modern stoeJcs and to have been tokens of Lans

In times of -adversity 'or 'pressure such' tokens
would be handed, in for payment. "With the declen-

Although our translation of the Bible asserts
iat " usutv," .understood as "th" excess of interest
i aoove a lawful standard T wjls the subioet of nm-
liibition by the Mosaic laws. Hebrew scholars now
interpret tin; command Us an interdiction of all
jxiyinents of interest wit a lever
ly an absolute law, the destitute 'Hebrew was
prevented from ' pvyiar any interest to his richer
brother, who was not permitted to refuse to lend
'.for his necessities." ."''-.
"A1 pledge," -or " security " for the repayment of
loan's, was allowed, with well-defined exceptions, in
"cases of extreme destitution, when even this prac
tice -of security was forbidden.
Even the feelinys of';, a poor debtor were kindly
protected from the intrusion of a- creditor within
his door. .
.-"When thou dost lend thy brother -anv thing,"
thou shall not go into . It in hpuse, to fetch his pledge.
Thou shalt staTid abroad, and the lnaji to whom
tlrou dost. lend shajl briiiff out the pledge abroad
untonthee. And if the man be poor, thou shaft not
..sleep with, his pledye. 1 eut. xxiv., 1012.
Tbe Egyptians' sometimes pledged their mummies
for. the repayment-of , a debt. Among that people
' a niumniy was consideredaniong theVerv, best ki'uAs
f security. It is ot juprobable . that on this ac
count, among other reasons, the Hebrews were told,
1 " Ye shall not spcsid money 'tor the' dead." .
The custom of impressing letters and important
publications '"Upon clay, stone, alhbrfster, terra-cottiu,
mortar, or .cement, was. one common, to many an
cient nations ; as well as the processes of writing and
painting upon skins and jar4tment, "Upon Ueaves
: bark, and papyrus, .or paper. The, Teh! Com--luandmeiits
of the .Hebrews " are rejresentcd as;
having been written qr graven " upon both' sides of
two tables '-(tablets of stone, which "Moses carried
uiThs two haiidn."' f These were casilu broken when
cast down, in his anger at tlnf idolatry of" the peo
ple. Did Moses employ ibriekj or tile for stone a
practice mentioned elsewhere in the Scriptures or
did ".lie use tablets of - alabas'tar or terra-eotta, accord
ing to the most ancient method in Assyria as?rela
ted by Mr. Layard ; The 'instructions to the, peo
ple, in Deutei'on'emy, to set up great stones and
to piaster them with piaster, and to write upon the
stones "-"all the -words of the law," '''very plainly,"
afford us ..another reference to the common mode of
publication peculiar to that age, and to the former
associations of the Ilebrtvvs ; for some of the most
ancient pyramids in Egypt have beefi Covered with
cement, .and 'are found inscribed in a simiW manner.
PECULIARLY SENSITIVE.
A go6d story is told in the Chrpniqne Paris
ienue: A .young, lady,-endowed with the most
delicate nerves, mentioned one evening, to a few
friends assembled in her drawing room, that. she
had a horror' of the rose. . . x"

The conversation was interrupted by the visit
of a faic friend, Vho wjvs going to a ball, and wore

turned palfi directly, tossed her arms and fell grace

spectators. " Eon Heaven's sake, Madam, go

replied the -astonished lady. i
I " Yes, of course, it is the perfume of the rose
bud in your hair." .
" Really, if it is so, I will sacrifice the guilty
flower but judge before you sentence."
The flower, detached from tlie head dress, was

is the literary imposition under which our. people suffer:
is a i'aet worthy of being universally knowi), that North CaJ

These are the reasons which induce the Publisher iand E&tiri
