. GET NATURALIZED, - . Iu view of the extreme probability of the carly passage by Congress of a new and- odious naturalization law, every foreigner who desires to become a citizen should at once take out papers. A delay of a few days may put the applicant to a great deal of trouble or entirely prevent him from enjoying the advantages of citizenship for years. The Radical howl has been raised and the foreigner must suffer the effect of the old know nothing spirit which still prevades the.ranks of the Repnblican party. Every foreigner who is not already naturalized should attend to the matter at once. The delay of a very few days, may compel them to wait for years. : : ; - P—— The Thieves. ! People who give but little attention to the matter can scarcely realize the amount of money that is annually stolen outright by Radical officials. Hon. David A. Wells, -Special Commissionof the Revenue, says that fwo Jundred and fifty millions of dollars annually are lost after leaving the pockets of the people, on their way to the Treasury, which they neverreach. Mr. Clark, the Radical Controller of the currency, at Washington, fixes the amount of stealings at four lhundred and fifty millions last-year. This testimony is from Radical witnesses high in authority, as these positions will indicate, aud yet we have men who say there is no need of a change in party rule. Certainly the effort to make this state of affairs better is worthy of a trial, for the four hundred and fifty millions thus stolen each year would, in about ten years time, entirely liguidate our national debt. If the amout annually stolen were actually received and placed to the credit of the gavgrnment, the present high tariff would be lessened materially, and poor people would receive benefits that:they would fully appreciate. Ifthey desire this change they should vote to displace these thieves, and put . honest Democrats in the positions. ‘

A GENTLEMAN in pursuit of a goose for dinner, was attracted by the sight of a plump and weighty one.

. :IN THE LIONS’ DEN. An Appalling a-;;l—-llorrlblé _Occni'-rence=--Three of Robinson’s Circus Men Killed and Four Shoekingly Lacerated by Savage Beasts, From the Middletown (Missouri) Banner. Upon starting ' out from Cincinnati for the eeason, the' management of James Robinson’s circus and animal show. determined to produce something novel in the way of a band chariot, and conceived the idea of mounting the band upon ‘the colossal den of performing Numidian lions, and which would form one of the principal and most imposing features of the show, - Although repeatedly warned by Prof, Sexton that he deemed the cage insecure and dangerous 'in the extreme, the managers still persisted in compelling the band to ride upon it.— Nothing, however, oeccurred until the fatal morning of the 12th. The band took their places and the procession began to move amid the shouts of the multitude of rustics who had assembled to witness the grand pageant, and hear the enlivening strains of music. Not a thought of danger was entertained by any one,but the awful catastrophe was about to occur. | 2 -

‘As the driver endeavored to make a turn in the streets the leaders became entangled and - threw the entire team into confusion, and he lost control of them, and becoming frightened they broke into a vielent run. Upon the opposite side of the street tlﬁe forewheel of the cage came in contact with a rock with such force as to cause the braces and stanchions which supported the roof to give away, thereby. precipitating the entire band into the awful pit below. ‘ i v - For an instant the vast crowd were paralyzed with fear, but for a moment only, and then arose such a shriek of agony as was never heard before.— The awful groans of terror and agony which arose from the poor victims who were being torn, lacerated by the frightful monsters below, was heartrending and sigkening to a terrible degrcei e AT

Every moment some one of the band would extricate themselves from the debris and leap over the sides of the cage to the ground with a wild spring and faint away upon striking the carth, 8o great was their terror. But human nature could not stand and see mien literally devoured before their very eyes, for there were willing hearts and strong arms ready to render every assistance necéssary to rescue the unfortunate victims of this shocking calami- ‘ ty. : 4 yA hardware store which happened to stand opposite was invaded by the request of the noble-hearted proprietor, and pitchforks, ecrowbars and long bars of iron, and in fact every available weapon was brought into requisition. The side doors of the cage were quickly torn from their fastenings, and then a horrible sight was presented to view. Mingled among the brilliant uniforms of the poor unfortunates lay legs, arms torn from,their sockets and half devoured,?ﬁlile the savage brutes glared ferociously” with their sickly green-, colored eyes, upon the pettified crowd. Professor Charles White arrived at this moment and gave orders in regard. to extricating the dead and wounded—he well knowing it would be a difficult and dangerous undertaking to remove them from the infuriated monsters. Stationing men with forks and bars at every available point, he sprang fearlessly into the den amid the monsters, and commenced raising the wounded, and :passing them upon the outgide to;their friends. He had succeeded in removing the wounded, and was proceeding to gather up the remains of the lifeless, when the mammoth lion, Nero, sprang with a frightful roar upon his keeper, fastening his teeth- and claws in his neck and shoulders, lacerating him in a horrible manner. Prof. White made three herculean efforts to shake the monster off, but without avail, and gave orders to fire upon him.’ The contents of four of Colt’s navys were immediately poured into the carcass of the ferocious animal, and he tell dead ; and the brave little man, not‘witstanding the fearful manner in which he was wounded, never left the cage until every vestige of the dead was carefully gathered together and placed upon a sheet for burial. ‘lt was found that three of the ten were killed ontright, and four others terribly lacerated. The names of the killed are August Schoer, Conrad Friez, and Charles Greiner. Coffins were procured and an immediate burial determined upon, as the bodies were so frightfully torn and lacerated as to be unrecognizable . to their most intimate friends. = . " The lions are the same ones which nearly cost Prof. Charles White his life two years ago, while traveling with the Thayer & Noyes party, and were known to be a very dangerous cage of animals. Every attention is being given to the sufferers by the kind and hospitable citizens of Middletown, and at last accounts they were all pronounced out of danger. i

CORNS.—The pain occasioned by corns may be greatly alleviated by the following preﬁarution : Into a ‘oneounce phial ask a druggist to put two drachms of muriatic acid, and six drachms of rose-water. With: this mixture wet the corns night-and morning for three or four days. Soak the feet every evening in warm water without soap. Pui one-third of the acid into the water, and, with a little picking the corn will be dissolved. , THE Judge of 8 Western Court recently decided a point adverse to a certain lawyer. - ] Lawyer was stubborn and insisted that the court was wrong. “I tell you, T am tight 1" yelled the Jjudge with ﬂashipg eyes. FaE L “I tell you, you are not!” retorted the counsel. ' “I am right!” reiterated the judge. “Isay you ain’t 1” 'persisted the eounsel. . “Crier!” yelled the indge, “I adjourn tmzifgn'rt i ter; min?:ﬁemh, he ;tch ing from th: itched %to’,::p bon%sel_, after a very li:vel;yx}tle | o%ght: placed him kors du combat ; after which business was again resumed, but it ‘was not long before another misunderstanding arose, . R

- . . Filial Ingratitade, - A heartless and shocking case of “inhumanity has just ‘occurred in the township of Windham. A man now u%ward of eighty years of age, and who has resided in that township for years, has for some time been depend‘ent upon his "children. He had lived ‘with one of his daughters, two'or three ‘of whom were married, for a short time and then would remain a short time with another .daughter, and so on.— A couple of months or so ago, the old man had au altercation with gome of the members of the family, of whom ~we shall designate No. 1, and with whom he then resided. He left the ~residence of No. 1 after the alterca‘tion, and supposing that he had gone “to live with family No. 2, a few miles distant, No. 1 packed up his clothes and took them to the house of No. 2. No. 2, however, was apparently determined that he would no longer be bothered with the poor old man, and would not allow the clothes to be left on his premises, and No. 1 therefore left them in charge of a neighbor.— Soon afterward the old man arrived at No. 2’s, and was told that his clothes were not there, nor could they tell him where they were. He then started for No. I's, where he arrived so feeble that he was unable to walk any further. Daughter No. 1 then tock him in a wagon to No. 2’s. How long he remained there we cannot say; but finally Daughter No. 3, who lived with No. 2, got him in a vehicle and took him within a mile or two of No. I’s, setting him down upon the road and telling him to get to a house near by. Instead of going to the house, however, he wandered intog piece of woods, and nothing more was seen or heard of him for about seventeen days, when he was found lying insepsißlle in the woods. When found, son in-law No. 1 was apprised of the fact, but he refused to allow his team to be taken to convey him from the woods to the house, and also refused to go for a doctor! Some neighbors acted the part of the good Samaritans, carried the old man fo a house and dispatched a messenger for a medical man. Around ‘where the old man_ lay in the woods every twig and leaf was eaten, and it was evident ‘that these had been his only means of isubsistence during the time he was in the woods. At last accounts he was in a very weak and precarious condition.— London ( Ohio) Free Press. - 4

|/ Burning a King of Siam, A French naval officer who was present at the burning of the body of the late King of Siam, gives the following description of the strange ceremony : During the afternoon; accom: panied by the French Consul and the Changcellor of the Consulate, I visited the Mene, or monument which contained ' the funeral pile. 'This construction was raised in three months, the entire population contributing to the labor, gut the pieces of timber which supported it were nearly a_yeararriving at Bangkok, and were the tallest trees i the Kingdom. The edifice was ‘nearly three hundred feet high, and covered with gilding ; ‘in the centre, under the dome, was a raised structure, decorated with gold and precious stones ,and on which the body was to be placed. 'Early on the 18th, the final preparations commenced ; the construction supporting the pile was temporarily stripped of its ornaments ; the golden vessel was changed for one of copper placed on a grating covered with perfumes, and beneath was placed a heap of fragrant wood eight feet high. * About five in the evening the entire company was assembled around, and the King set fire to the mass, without leaving his throne, by means of a train going from his feeet to the centre of the mass. ' According to tradition, the fire from Heaven which burnt the palace of the King’s grandfather, and®which had been piously preserved, was that used. The people were then allowed to press forward | and throw on the fire flowers of sandal wood which they had brought; when the flames began to rise high the Princesses’ surrounded the burning mass and uttered lamentations. The time employed for the cremation was scarcely an hour, and the fire died out before the bones were entirely reduced to ashes, those which remained ‘were deposited in a small urn of gold, set with, precious stones. The ashes were gathered up on a piece of white stuff, which was placed on a golden dish and conveyed with great ceremony by the Princesses in mourning, in a boat, toa’ consecrated point of the river, to be thrown into the wa‘er.

The Disappearing Darkey. The Philadelphia Age says: *Recent investigations show that the southern Methodist church is rapidly losing its colored membership, there being about nineteen thousand members this year, against thirty-two thousand last year.. This fact opens a wider field for comment than can be tilled in the crowded columns of a daily journal.— Is this lamentable fact to be attributed to the sudden change in'the relations of four millions of men and women, unprepared for the. temptations incident to their new positions 2 Has the course of the radical party since emancipation tended to - demoralize and degrade rather than elevate and improve the eolored race in this country? What, say Christian men and women, . in the light of. such a fact as that in relation to the loss of negro communicants in one branch of the Christian church? There is a moral gide to this question which cannot be much longer obscured by bigotry and partisan feeling. Christians will have to measure ' the results of these party attachments by the -condition of the negroes, and not bz radical platforms or the slpee'ches of :latterin? demagogues. Inthe meantime, will the negro race wander further gnd rather from the needed restraints of religious organizations ! If so both the black man and the.nation will suffer. ~_Palmer, the Chicago millionaire has g"iven notice*that on the first of J ul{ he will begin a hotel building with 505 feet fr?t,-to cost, with the ground, over $2,600,000, . .

From the Indianapolis Sentinel, June 18. . RADICAL DEMORALIZATION. The Journal, under its new’ dispensation, has already commenced, in plaintive notes, to wail the demoralization and disintegration ot its party. . In its issue of yesterday wefind the following expression of sadness and disappointment: Fai “We fear and dread pestilence, famine, and all' the ills which affiict or threaten us. And we dread them because when they come they have power.to hurt and destroy what we hold most dear.” . | - And yge suppose it is “official patronage” that it Holds most dear, and the prospective deprivation of which it dreads. In turning to another column of the paper ‘we found the cause of its pitiful lamentThe Tenth Congressional District has been overwhelmingly Radical ; it was regarded as the Gibraltar of Radicalism, but: dissensions prevail and the udity of' the party is destroyed. Here isits confession of the trouble : BRI

In the Tenth District Major William Williams was renominated, although the opposition to him withdrew and nominat--ed General Milo S. Hascall, who accepted an independent candidacy; and pledged a thorough canvass of the district. A bitter personal contest has been carried on between Mr, Willinms and - Gen. Hascall for some time, and it can but be regarded as unfortunate that the division has resulted as it has. It may imperil one of the old reliable districts of the State, a responsibility which would seem too great to be lightly assumed by any one, what ever his provocation may be. The Radical Congressional Convention of this District assembled on Thursday. A memorial was presented by the opponents of Mr. Williams, the present member, and a candidate for re nomination, but it was laid on the table without read-: ‘ing. This cavalier treatment so incensed the friends of General Hascall that when the balloting commenced for the nomination of a candidate, some three hundred of the friends of that gentleman withdrew from the convention, noginated him and he accepted the nomination. As the Journal remarks, the feud between Hascall and Williams is very bitter, the former charging upon the latter corraption in selling his influence while in home service, during his connection with the army. The charges of Hascall against Williams were so specific and damaging that he could not acquiesce in his nomination without making the Republican party responsible for the corruption and venality that he charged upon Williams. It is no wonder that the chilling blasts from the North bring “fear and dread” upon the Journal, for it i 3 ominous of the defeat that will hurt and destroy what the central organ holds most dear—official patronage, and the' loss of that threatens it with famine. But such is the doom of Radicalism, AR el < — . | Drinking in America. | Mr. Justin McCarthy, 'in a recent ‘ magazine article, speaking of the convivial habits of Americans, says: .-“I do not find American men, in general, convivial personages. I do not find that. eating and drinking are regarded as means of social enjoyment here, in. anything like the fashion of the old country. The perpendicular system of drinking, which Dickens speaks of, is, surely the most cheerless and unsocial form of potation known to mortal beings. Every ‘ one, American and other, assures me that there is a great deal of drinking done in these Northern States. Perhaps so; but as in this paper I am giving only my own impressions, right or wrong, for just what they are worth, I must say that, so far as my observation goes, Americans are the soberest race of men under the sun. No Englishman who is not a professed teetotaller, ever dreams of dining without a glass of wine orale. - Mr. Parton’s question about the probable potations of the coming man would, in England, seem almost as absurd as if he were to speculate on the problem whether the coming man will wear clothes.— Here, so far as I have seen, the habit is to accompany dinner with nothing but ice water, unless when a setand tormal dinner party is given. Look round the dining hall of any London hotel or restaurant—so many dinners, 8o many glasses of wine, or stout, or ale. Look ‘round the dining hall of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York ; The Parker House, Boston ; the Con--tingntal, Philadelphia; the: Sherman ‘House, Chicago; the Russell House, Detroit ;.the Cosmopolitan Hotel, San Francisco—anywhere, ygon will find the ice water the rule, the wine or beer the rare exception. Teetotalism is a strange phenomeénon among cultivated Englishmen, almost as strange as immoderate drinking, which is now, I am glad to say, a very unusual thing amcng such classes of men in England. But the tendency in these Northern States seems to be towards the erection of teetotalism into a_ virtue—that is to say, into something indispensable, unquestionable, on.the need of which no controversy can arise, something like a chastity or truth. I talked lately with a New England clergyman on this subject, and, endeavoring in a feeble way to plead the cause of moderation, I asked him if he had not observed during his travels in Germany that decent men and .their wives sat gleasantly together in their beergardens, and sipped their beer, and that no excess came of it. He said he had seen such things, and had not observed any excess; but, he assured me, in all seriousness and earnestness, that the sight of a married pair drinking beer together was, to him, simply disgusting and revolting—like the sight. of husband and wife committing some crime together. Doubtless, this ‘was a teetotal of an extreme kind ; but the tendency of the moral code in the Northern States, seems to lead in that ditection 2o i ot : “Congress has voted an appropriation ‘ of $650,000 “to supply deficiencies of compensation and mggge.’?“ltf they don’t supply, their own deficiencies pretty soon, ‘they needn’t make any calculations for m}l;aage vext year.”—Chicago Post (Radical.) | Sy ' X ! - Don’t, hit your own' friends quite so hard.

THE BRAVE GIRL. =~ Our he¢roine lived 'in Bartlett, New Hampshire, atd was a descendant of the old Crawfords. Her father wasa Crawford, and followed the profession of a guide among the mountains. Her name was Bessie, and she was the only daughter remaining at home —a dark-eyed, brown haired girl, of slight but compact frame, just ‘entering her nineteenth year: Her mother had been dead several years, and upon her devolved the whole care of the household. = - LA

- . One day, late in-sumwer, Mr: Crawford ‘went, witha party of travelers, away to the head waters of one ot the'many mountain streams that empty into the Saco,and" Bessie was left alone. Even the dogs had all gone with the pleasure seekers. Near the middle of the afternoon, ‘while: the girl was sitting by an open window in the front room, engaged in sewing, a man came up from theroad and asked her if she would give him a drink- of water.— ‘ Bessie had seen this man before, and had ‘ not liked his looks. He was 8 stout, ‘broad shouldered, ill-favored fellow, and the bits of moss and spikes of the pines’ upon his clothes indicated that he had J slept in the woods. - | v

But Bessie did not hesitate. She laid aside her work and.went to get the water. When she came back t;heru‘nml had;entered the room. She did not like this, for she was sure he had come in by the window; but she handed him " the-tin dipper without remark. The man drank, and then sat the dipper down upon the table.— Then he- turned upon the girl, and drew a broad bladed knife from his pocket. “Look ye, my young lady,” he said, “I know there’s money in this house; and I know that yeu are alone. Show me where the money is! If you don’t I shall kill you, and then hunt it up myself! I'm in earnest, and there ain't no time to waste. Don't make a fuss, for if vou'do you'll feel this knife quick !” o Bessie * shrank back, and looked - into the man's face, and she could see that he meant just what he'said.” E :

“If I show you where the money#s will you promise not to do me harm *” p “Show me, honest, and I won't harm you-n ; » @ - . S “Then come with me. But. you will take only the money—you won't take my father’s papers ?” E Yo “Only the money, girl.” EANEE Bessie led the way to a small bed room on the ground floor, where_ there was an old mahogany bureau, the upper drawer of which she unlocked. The man, when he saw this, thinking; doubtless, that Crawford’s gold was within his grasp, shut up his knife and put it into his pocket. The girl opened the drawer, and quick as thought, drew forth a large navy revolver—one with which she herself had killed a trapped bear—and cecked it. “Villain !” she exclaimed, planting her back- against the -wall, and aimipg the weapon at his bosom, “many a wild beast bave I shot with this good pistol, and I'll now shoot you if you do not instantly leave this house! I will not give you even: a second! Start, or I fire™® - . -

The ruffian could read human looks as well as could the maiden, and ‘he*could read very plainly in the firm set lips and in the flashing eyes—but more clearly in the steady hand which held the pistol—that she would not only fire, ‘as she had promised, but ker aim would be ‘a sure and a fatal one. ~ _ : And he backed out from the bed room —backed Imnto a sitting room —then leaped from the open window and disappeared. Bessie kept her pistol by her side until her father and his guests came home, and when she had told her story, search was made for-the ruffian. But he was not found. Our heroine had so tharoughly frightened him that he never came that way sgain. . et nh THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE." (From the Indianapolis News.]' -

The new department of justice created by General Schurz's bill, which has passed both houses of congress, not only combirnes and organizes all the legal officers of the government, but will effect a great saving’ 1n requiring all the legal business to be done by it. Heretofore it has been the custom to employ attorneys to conduct cases, or to give advice upon certain points, and this was always paid with a fat fee, even when' the character of the services was hardly such asto deserve it. The provisions of the bill creating the department are briefly summed up as follows: = Lo

The attortey general-is to be the head, with & salary as at present, and under him are to be a solicitor general, with a_ salary of seven thousand five hundred dollars, and two assistants with a salary of five thousand dollars each. = The solicitor of the treasury, naval solicitor, law officer of the state department, law officer for the internal revenue bureau; with all their clerks and messengers, are transferred at the present salaries to the new department,and hereafter all the law business of the government is to be done under the supervision of the attorney general, 'who, like other members of the cabinet, must report to congress annually. . He has full control of all his subordinates, and may send them where he pleases to argue questions for the government. Questions of law from' all other departments must be sent to him for settlement, and he has the same charge of patronage and disbursements in his department, that other cabinet officers have in theirs. Supervi sory power over the accounts of district attorneys, marshals, and other officers of United States courts, now. exercised by the secretary of the interior, is hereafter to be in the hands of thé attorney general. The heads of other departments are posi: tively prohibited from employing attorneys or counsel, at public expense, in any case; and no extra counsel cam be employed by the attorney general, except as hereinafter authorized by law. The only ‘new officer it nuthorizes is the solicitor genersl, who in_case of absenoe F vaoancy, i/ to act as attorney general. Theact goes into effect on the first of July,

Ll ee e, T “Bridget,” said alady in the city of Gotham, one morning, as she” was #é:° connoitering in the kitchen, “what & quantity of soap grease you have here. — We can get plenty of soap for it, and wemust - exchange it. for some. Watch for the fit man, and when he comes tell h'm . Twant to speak to him.” i “Yes, mum,” said Bridget. == - All the morning Bridget, between cach whisk of -her dishcloth, kept a bright look out of the kitchen window, and no moying creature escaped ber watchful gaze. At last her industry seemed about rewarded, for down the street came a large, portly - gentleman, flourishing i;_f cane, and looking in very good "humor. ‘“Sure, there's the fat man, now,” thought ‘Bridget; and when he was: in front of the house out she flew, and informed him that her mistress wished to speak to him. v “Speak to me, my good girl " replied the old gentleman. SaaEy - “Yes, sir; she wants to spéak to you, and says would you be kind enough to walk in sir” " . ¢ , This request so direct was not to be ré: fused, so in a state of some svonderment, up the stairs went the gentleman, and up the stairs went Bridget, and knocking at - her mistress’ door, put her head in and exclaimed: - - A W “Fat gintleman’sin the parlor, mum.” So saying, she instantly withdrew tothe lower regions. ; : “In the parlor!” thought the lady; “what can it'mean? Bridget must have blundered,” but down'to the parlor she went, and up rose her fat friend, with his blandest smile and a most graceful bow. “Your servant. informed me, madam, that you would like to speak to me—at your service madam.” = ' 'The mortified mistress saw the state of the case immediately, and a smile wreathcd itself about her lips in spite of hersclf, as she said : B YOOI Ty “Will you pardon the terrible blunder of a raw Irish girl, my dear sir? I told her to call in the fat man to take away the soap grease when she saw him, and’ she has made a'mistake; you sec.” The jolly fat gentleman leaned back in his chair, and laughed such a hearty ha! ha! ha! as never came from any of your lean gentry. ;

““It is decidedly the best joke of the season. Ha!l ha! ha! soshe took me for the soap grease'man, did she?® It will. ‘keep me laughing for a month-such a joke ! ; . And-all up thestreet around the corner was heard the ha! ha! ha! of 'the old gentleman, as he brought down his cane every now and then, and exclaimed, “Such: a joke!” . , 2 T - — . Early Home of Jesus. . S Four miles south of the strong Greek city of Sophoris, hidden away among the gentle hills, then covered from the base to the crown with vineyards and fig trees, lay a natural nest or basin of rich red and white earth, star-like in shape, but a mile in width and wonderously fertile. Along the scarred and chalked 'slbpe of the high- ~ est of tllfeseihills spread a small and lovel y village, which, in a land where every stone seemed to have a story, is remarka‘ble as having had no public history and no distinguished native name. No great road led up to this sunny nook. No traffic came into it—no legions marched thro’ it. Trade, adventure, pomp, passed thro’ it, flowing from West to East, from East to West along the Roman road. But the meadows were aglow with wheat and barley. Near'the low grounds ran a belt of gardens, fenced with stones, in which-my-riads of green figs, red pomegranates and golden citrons ripened in the summer sun. High up the slopes, which were lined and planted like the Rhine at Bingen, hung vintages of purple grapes. In the plain, among the corn ard;beneath - the mulberry trees and figs, shone daisies, poppies, tulips, lilies and anemones, endless in their profusion,” brilliant in their dyes. SR b A

. Low down on the hillside sprang a weli of water, bubbling, plentiful and sweet ; and above this fountain of life, in a long street straggling from the fountain syna.’ gogue, rose the stead of mpny shepherds, craftsmen of men, and vinedressers. It - was & lovely and humble place, of which’ no ruler, no historian of Israel, *had ever taken notice. No Rachael had been met and kissed into love at this well; no Rutb had gathered up the sheaves of bar- - ley in these fields; no tower had been built for observation in this height; no - camp had been pitched for battle in that - vale. That one who would become dearer to the fancies of men than either Ruth or Rachael, then walked through these fields, drew water at this spring, passed up and down the lanes -of this hamlet, no scer could have then surmised. The place wasmore than obscure. The Arab may ‘have pitched his black tent by the well, - the magistrate of Sophoris must have known the village, but the hamlet was never mentioned by the Jewish seribes. - In the Bible, in the Talmud, in the writings of Josephus, we search in vain for any record of his sacred place. Like its happy neighbors, Nain and Endor, if was’ the abode of husbandmen ang. oil-dressers, whose lives were spent in the syniigogué and the olive grove, away from the bright Greek cities and the busy Roman roads.— No doubt it had once been possessed of either an Arab or a Hebrew name, but we do not know the name ‘except in its Helletic form. ~The Grekk called the town Nazaret or Nazareth. * i ;' When Shounld Pigs be Weaned, = Ei’ght 'weeks old is the best age.
