MISCELLANEOUS. THE OBISHUL ' SlIYLOCK." A SLAVONIC STOBT. (1 Transited from the Se hie Language by Louis or Le Ls i. r, and rrom tho F tier.dre. nch by FrofJS! The father of Omer upbraided him every day for h:s iellenesa and his love to run the streets of Saraievo, playing on the tarn hour ica. (2) " Yod are young, my eon," eaid he to him ; " we are old, we cannot work. Who will feed v, ii you do not?" Omer pid no attention to his father's compels, and refused to work. He was known at S;r?ievo as the chief of all the idler9. To pro from house to house, from Window to wxadow such was his occu pntken. everybody saw that Omer was not yet ripe lot marriage, and marriago wis Mr bidder to him, both oa account of his yo, I Ail empty purse. Everyly was convinced that the devil was in him. Tee shame of his conduct reflected urn his poor p?renta. The sorrow which they experienced abridged their live? ; they died. Omer remained the chief of a cracked and empty house with three orphans For a long time he had been desirous to live in freedom, without having to incur his father'? reproaches, and to be able to satii'y ail his capiices; but he soon cit how hard it wa to live without parents, and how heavy was the house upon his shoulders. 44 Who will spin now, who wi" weave, who wiTJ svrt-ep" the house ? This is serious business " fieviug thus reflected, Omer said to him-eli': 4 By ray tambourica, nothing remains but to marry." And he hung his tambourica on his Shoulder tied proceeded under tne windows of the beautiful Meira. He arrived there t Um hour wren the Turks pray. Alight was burning, and voices were heard in the clumber. Omer knocked at the window ; B&enea tamed. Hü sang; the light was put out, No one paid aUention to him. For three eveningä in succession he ennw under the window, and each time returned home sad and desolate. Meira had not even snowed herself. He went beck a fourth time : m Here I will ting again to night, and wi'l r-üie back no more under her windows.He tuned hu tambourica, and with a sad voice s-nsr : T iMMms my past-timo, KcT mv i .ee'joy ; Long eu iu'o has iron Ted my hunger Aua sajtcsti my thirst. Tumb jarica. my pat-:ime, Bow. ray swet joy, A .3 ! Ive los, a ole yev ail ?i-: undr JSe ra window; e&mwfli tot even look at m." At those words, the light was extinguished; i.he window suddenly opaned. Omer T-..- mad with joy, hut Meira tail to him: " I think you have become crazv, Omer. I am Ml niähed at yv.ur whiins. What do yc sees under niy window? All that is 1 quite use b zs let me tell you." Ourr. .j vy vanished away, and behold 1 hiTi now more desolate than ever. Meiia, stung hi3 groat agination, resumed : M Mv friend, you wish, perhaps, to marry me. ls it so, Omer .- " Yes," he replied. "Take care;" sho continued; "that I cannot be. You Lave not a morsel of ) bread at home, snd you drum of mar- j riaje! I know what you are going to say: 1 Buds ol a leather duck together.' My : parents m poor, it is true; but there is 1 no prettier girl than 1 in riarsievo; I can met a rich huabanl. But listen, Omer. Neither gold nor silver can muko one ' ;y: they do not satiafy the haart's craving. Ä for me, I would prefer jou to ali BaraioTO ; but I love and resptci my parents. I will ocly marry one who ; is ejflliag to make them happy and capable to luaictiia thsm till death." Oaior Laving hwrd that reflected a little. 4 Ah, if I only knew Low much would be reo 'tired !" " Op-n a store." said Mfira 41 becorao a truJcr. I shall be fcaüßfi jd if you can only procure food and raiment for my parents and your erphar.3." "Adiea, Meira," said Omer; 44 1 comprehend all, and if anything can result rr' rn all that, to morrow we ehall see each other agiia." Tail of joy and sadnets, at the same tiijie, Omer left Meira. "Ah !' baid he to himself, " if I could Borrow nostee somewhere, who woul i be happier th:.n L If I cannot, who will be more unhappy ?n That idea pursued him the whrle night in hi" dreams. When he awnke he no lojg-r knew what ne was about, so joyful was he. He Lad recollected that his great est friend was a very rich Jew. 44 li that out don't lend me money nobMy will." Thus thi. king he woDt to Iaac (it was the name of the Jew). He found him at home and made him an eruone of that which he had at heart. The Jew expressed his lendlneei to comply with the wichet of h;s dear friend Omer, and to lend him thirty pursr.s. "It will be my greatest joy," said he, "to ate you married to the beautiful Meira." T&en he asked him how long it would take him to pay the money bivck. "Seven years," replied Omer. 44 And it you ran't pay ine at the ed of seven years, what shall we do then?" Af.er reflection, they cnusedthe following agrcerotnt to be registered in presence ot 'he Jodgl (Cadi) : 41 It Omer, in seven years, has not returned idiac the thirty purses borrowed, let Isaac, in presence oj" the tribunal, cut eff a draemn of Omer's tongue." Who was happier than young Omer I All that day he' eoold think ot nothing bet hifl wedding. What a grnnd repast hewouMgive! Whit beautiful dresses he would give to his beautiful Meira. In a word, he never inejuircd whether he could return his friend's money; he only thought of the best way to spend it. At the end of a month Meira was brought into rich Omer's dwelling. The feas I isted e ight whole days. Kveryone a ked whence Cime to Omer that fortune whirh enabled him to display such magnificence. Many supposed 'hat he had not found it within the ground.

His wile and friends often caught him weeping. In vaiu they aked the causj of his grief. He refused to answer. "Nobody," said ho, "can assist me; leave roe." Such was always his answer. Meanwhile the beautiful Meira had been informed by the Jew himself of the clause of the terrible contract. She exerted her woman's wit to find a remedy ; for what woman would like to hs?c a man without a tongue " Come, it is time," said Meira to herself; "I will takes bochtchaiuk (a present) ; go to the Cadi and cast myself at his feet." And she went twice. "That woman shames me," said the Cadi. " She has doubtless some design ; she wishes to ask me some favor." Wnen the third day arrived, Meira returned before the Cadi with more beautiful presents still. She kissed the flap of his coat, and started away. But the Cadi ordered bis guards to stop her. " Persevering woman," said tho Cadi, " twice already have you shamed me. In what manner can I be agreeable to you ? Say." That was all Meira desired She placed one hand upon her brow, the other upon her breast, and said : " Cadi, your goodness thrills my heart with joy, and now I can implore you. Grant me the favor to sit, for one hour, on Friday next, in your place upon the bench." Friday came on. It was the day tied for reimbursing the debt. Omer had not ?. UcJdouk (a franc) in his purse, and the Jew was to cut off a drachm of Omer's tongue before tte tribunal. Meira had got up early in the morning. As soon as she ai rived the Cadi clothed her with the judicial robes, and with his own hands placed the turban upon her head. She was a funny Cadi, indeed, going to try a case ; but nobrdy could have recognized n r. The true C.di retired into the next room and wa:ched the proceedings thr ugh a pane of glass. Our improvised Cadi had already Boked a whole chibok when the Jew and Omer entered the com t room. The latter was wiping his tears. Cadi What do you want of me ? The Jew. 1 come to claim sentence, noble elfendi ! Cadi. Wnat business brings you ? The Jew then explained to the Cadi how, s:;ven years before, he had lent Omer thirty purrcs, aud what contract they had entered into. If the sum was not returned to him he was to cut off a drachm of I Ooier's tongue, and Le had come for that purpose. Cadi (to Omer). Is it true ? "What ia 1 your name ? Did Le speak the truth ! Omer (weeping 1. Elfendi, all that is j truth ilseif. The Cadi opened his register and commenced to ruu over the leaves. He stopi ped at a certain pre and assumed a solemn air. " Yes, it i3 true, b o.;. And you So it is written in the Jew, did you bring a razor? he assed. "Certainly," replied the Jew. " Welij then," taid the Cadi, gravely, " cut olT, but take good care not to cut off more vhan a drachm; for, know that if joa I .ou'd cut off either more or less than a drachm, as set forth in the agreerceii!, ou shall not be allowed to justify yeurseif, but will forfeii your own life." The Jew shuddered, and reflected a momen. " Oh ! no, Uhtstrioot effendi, but If I shou'd cut elf more than a drachm, I will indemnify him with gold; if I should cut off less, 1 will make him a present of the remainder." 44 By Allah, Jew, are you the Cadi, to dare dicta'e laws before the f:i'junal! Come, come, cut olF at once ! " You can see now the Jew's embarrassment and torment. 44 Pcrdon, noble effendi ; I do not wich to h&vo anvtuing to Uo with our soverign umstcr a acaira. l know that it is your cuetom to judge according to the letter. . I leove him fee thirty purses: I leave him Us piece of tongue We are g .od friends." The Judce assumed a more terrible look still, and, addressing the guards : " Let the executioner come In, that I may te,iCh that dog of a Jew obedience to the court. Cut oil this moment ! " The executioner appeared ; the Jew fell on his knees, kused the Cadi's robe, a cd co!i:n:eLccd to bccech him. But the Cadi did not alHw himself to be softened. 44 Cut off the urachm of Omer's tonguo, infVkl, ehe ths executioner will cut thy head off." The Jew perceived that but one chance remained him in order to save his lite. Jllostrkme effendi ! n said h, 44 1 ivo you thirty parsiß ; I give up Ike thirty which I have lent to my deUtor.

The executioner seized the poor Jew, who clung to the C': di. 44 Pity, effendi, if you are Turk." Then Omer intervene, 8nd 1 eseeched the Cadi in favor of his friend. "Omer," said he to him, 44 for your cake. I forgive him. The probity of a Turk is more solid than Stone. Let that Jew understand thoroughly what a tribunal is, aud also the sentence of a Cadi." And the Jew paid tho Cadi thirty pur a Th latter invited him atlerward te embrace Omer. " And to put an end to this affair, I am e oir.tr." fc-dd he, 41 to enter it on the great i ok." After having kissed the Judge's shoes, ai.d the eirpet under him, the two parti-!; thanked him to. his etjuitable sentenee and paternal g'oelness, and left the tribunal. One door elosed, another opened. The true Cadi entered, tplitting his sides with laughter. " By my beard, woman, I seo nothing in the books wißer than you! If you were a rfian, in truth, there would bt no Cadi rqual to yon in Constantinople." Mt ira thanked him for his kind neM tr her In yielding his own peat, and offered him fifteen purses of the Jow'a money. The Cadi ref.isec', and pave her one more purse.

Ou seeing him arrive from her window, he began lo jest. 44 Ah! ah! here in Omer with hia tongue cut eff," said she, stammering like. 41 You are mistaken," said Omer.

Mnealar Education. TnK rationale of training Is to nourish the body as rapidly as possible, and at the same time get rid of the waste material. It might be compared, for illustration, to th1 rapid consumption of fuel in locomotive engines, by a quick draught of air, and the production of steam from an immense extent of heated surface, obtained by exposing to the fire many tube9 filled with water. The best of fuel is supplied to the man in training in the shape of his meat, bread and water ; bis smoke and cinders must be got rid of rapidly, so as to excLe the fierce combustion demanded for the psce he has to go, and the longcontinued efforts he has to make. To accomplish this, the fire grate and chimneys of the human engine must be kept clear and in perfect working order. The skin, which lets off the waste steam and smoke at millions of pores or say twenty-eight miles of tubing, for this has been calculated is of the first importance; hence, by long experience, from the Greeks and Romans to our day, trainers, who are no great physiologists, have paid the closest attention to the skin, whether in training horses or men. The Greeks used a scraper called a utHgü, and they sometimes rolled in the dust of the stadium after anointing, all of which compelled them to use a great amount of friction in merely cleansing the skin. Perspiration is excited and k.pt up at regular intervals ; and the por.s are cleansed by rubbing with hard brushes and towels, with occasional sponging, though the b?Uh is used sparingly. By this means also the circulation of the blood in the minute net-work of vessels all over the body is assisted. Men in ordinary health get rid of about three pounds of water alone from their skin daily, but in training it must be more than this. Then the lungs, being nearer to the central turnace of the body, are of even more importance to be kept at work than the skin ; for from them the chief part of the smoke must be got lil of, besides a good deal of steam, or, in other words, carbonic acid gas and watery vapor. In ordinary good health a man expires about twenty-one ounces of steam daily ; of course a man undergoing great exertion breathes off much more than this. Then the light, fresh air is exchanged inbreathing for the heavy carbonic gas, ammonia, hydrogen gas, and volatile animal sub stances, making altogether from six to dght per cent, of t ffete material got rid of by the lurgs. Now w can see the necessity for a man having what is called 44 good wind ;" his lungs must be able to bear the constant ad rapid contraction and eZDansion. and the strong 'action of the heart in driving on the vital stream, without distress. HeDce no one with the slightest weakness of the chest should evnr attempt to train, though the regimen, very moderated'' and gradually appd id, would be beneficial ; for it may then s-mply embrace the well known precepts of fresh air, exercise, simple food, no excesses, and early hours. The dietary of the trsiners is open to criticism upon some points. They picscribe a dry meat diet, on the supposition that it make) the fleth firm and keeps the blood from being watery. This is quite an error ; for we know that the strongest men are composed of as ph water as other men, and that tins apparently idle and harmless flrdd is a moat vial on, for it forms ao leu than seventy per Cc:nt. of tke whole body. The muscles would be mere shreds if deprived of their water; and the singular thing is, that this ia not easy to accomplish even in dead muscle, for the water is not contained as if by a sponge, it can not be pres-s out of the flesh except by a wtight which destroys the fibre ; therefore it is considered that water is an essential constituent of mus cle The nerves, which are really the souice of all muscular energy, actually consiEt of 800 parts water in 1,000. Old Tnalee was not far out wben he taught hia pupils that water was the life of all Cieatiea. It is poesiblo to live on water alone for some time, but entirely depriv cd of it, death results in less than a week. Tb trainer! tr; liijat, however, as to not taking liquids in large draught; this is prejudicial to digestion, and is liable to pro-iue a chill or shock of a dangerous kind. It i not advantageous that thirst, which arises from all violent exercises, should not be quenched ; but this shouid be done by small quantities taken while the system is heated, and not in large draughtl immediately after the exertion is over. It will be found that water is by far the best beverage to be drunk during any strong exercise, as in long walks over hiliy ground ia hot weather, and in any of the more arduoai feats of running and walking. Tea, if taken cool, is, however, a very light and stimulating drink; but beer, most wines, and npirits are fatal to all great efforts. A diet of lean meat and bread, with scanty vegetables, is decidedly not favorable to robust health ; experience has long taught us to follow the inclination for varieties of many kinds ; and perfect condiücm, even to efficient training, may be kept up by partaking of these, always excepting young meats and veal, whien ie not only immature but half disaaaed, from the process of daily bleeding which is adopted to produce the appear ance el elenoacy. A diet in which rUMi is the chief article is indispensable to our cl:mate and our habits. It can cot be loo strongly enforced that, no matter how intellectual the calibre, or bow sensitive the fibre, material health lies at the foot of ad. Tin- brain must have its fat and its phosphorus, the heart mut be toucheel with the bright and pure life-stream, or the pace begins to slacken, and the machinery yields to the ei tnertiet at earth, till it stops dead. It is not too much to say that the gieatest achieve ments await those who, having pursuits not necessarily favorable to health, nevertheless make It of the first consideration to attend te the culture of the body. Good eating and drikking, as it is Called, is far too much relied upon; n fact, it ia this t :at in towns lead universally to disease and ehort lives; it is absolutely necessary to combine good X ;t I af- a m. nrou wuu invigorating anu reiresuing ex cises, j.n l u tho ru;re vioh nt can be borne, so much the better. If gymaatics were esteemed with us as important as th y were with tho aucient Greeks anel Koinans, and practiced habitudly by them, there is no doubt that the public health would be raised, and new fields of enjoyment would open out to the multitude, who are always wondering what ails them, or what ou earth they can find to do. Among the Greeks, it was thought impossible for the mind to be in a vigorous state ulesa tho body was. Philosopher, physician, and gymnast were uuittd in one person Galen dislocated his r.houlder, when wrestling, in his thirty first yoar. The aliptiX, who superintended the diet and training, became reputed physicians ; and their cure of diseases consisted almost entirely in adapting some of the processes of training adopted in the jHilvatrm, the places built for the separate use of the athletm, who were the professional strong men, and distinguished from the agonistm, who were amateurs. Kvery town of importance had its um anal mil ; and here poets came to rec.te, phil isophers to dispute, and the fashionable public to look on and to gossip. The great contests were in running, jumping, leaping with weights in the hamls, boing, wrastling, throwing the discus (a ort of quoit-play), and hurling the sp;ar. And theso were practiced a' so by boys; and they had a favorite game of pulling a rope against one another. The gymnasium among the Romans became rather a place for military

training ; and the athletic sports changed into the fights of the gladiators, and combats with wild animals in the amphitheatre. The bath, however, with frictions of the skin and gymnastic exercises, was the custom ; and most houses ha i 'heir peinetr'oe, which were richly adorned with works of art. The Roman boys were not trained as the children of the Greeks were, and gymnastios were certainly not to rigidly practiced for their own sake ; the Romans preferred the magnificence and display of the circus and the amphitheatre. They would not have knocked a way through the city walls to welcome a victor in the Olympic Garnes, esteeming him too great a personage to enter by the erdinary gate, as the Greeks did. Rome might never have been a prey to the Goths had she been satisfied with the Greek model ; and the modern Italians, cast as they are in such a noble mould, would never have become the irritable, indolent, and melancholy race they are had not athletic sports and manly exercises been lost ly the people and diicouraged by the nobles. Whether they will be regenerated by the example of their manly king, and the enlightened exertions of their statesmen, is a -jubject of the dsepest interest to all who admire the plendid organization of the Italians, and remember the deep debt we owe to Italy. Harper's W&kiy. Kid and Leather tilove. France and Belgium are, pir eretUencs, the coantrh s of all others where kid and leather gloves are manufactured and worn. It is quite appropriate, therefore, that any warning in reference to thiir use should come from that same quarter, lest it might be supposed, were the argument put forth elsewhere, that it was 41 a weak device of the enemy." It is wif gome curiosity and interest, then, that the worlJ of readers and glove wearers will read the comments that a certain Dr. Fortin, of Paris, writing to the Figaro, of that city, makes on the iffecta of tight gloves, although, such is the peculiar pervereity of human nature, that we doübt much whether the slightest difference will result in the consumption of the article, from all that may be said about it. In brief, the Doctor remarks that the use of gloves made from the fl;ius of animals is attended by notable dangers They were introduced, in their liner qualities, into France by the Medici iamily, and since theu the hands jf the higher classes have lost much of their parity and beauty of contour. It is not difficult to comprehend that the continuous and violent compression of the baud must disturb its organism, and deteriorate the exquisite delicacy of its sense of touch. But 11 the difficulty dees not cease at that point, by auy means. Anatomists can tell us that an interchange of two kinds cf blood, the venous and the arterial, takes place at the ends of the fingers, as well as elsewhere, and that anything which interrupts the process produces a reaction toward the heart the hollow muscle that is the projecting and propelling organ of circulation. An organic predisposition co-operating with thh disorder may develop certain diseases of the heart, or aggravate those that previously existed. There are, also, certain nervous operations at the extremities which communica'e sensations to the brain, and any obstacle opposed to this action of nature may originate a variety of symptoms ranging from mere weakness to a regular nervous crisis. Tight gloves of kid or other skin, by their adhesion to the surface, frequently produce a sort e,f abscES or ulc.r, which appears under the nails. In such cases, puncturing the flesh, cr uven leaving it to the process of nature, will lead to the loss of tho nails, which cannot, afterward, be easily renewed. To young ladies, such an accident is very trying. But there is a precaution that may be taken against this deformity. It consists simply in scraping the nail with the blade of a sharp knife rounded to the end. The scraping must be done near to the .eat of the abscess or inflammation. The pus once being removed, the small orifice produced by this process will soon disappear, without leaving any trace. But on the gsneral principle, in order to reconcile tnose two sworn enemies health and fashion all predonged pleasure a. the ex tremities must be avoided, especially in the csec of chilurea, and of young girls who have net attained their full growth and development. It seems that in France, a prolonged series of experiments and investigations has been made, and that Dr. Fortin merely gives the result in what it not, at all, a new theory, but claims to e a distinct enunciation of surgical truth ; and thrso views have attractsd a corresponding degree of attention. It seems unquestionable that, where they are not deformed by QldJd toil, the hands wf these who do not make contisusl use of the article iu question are more ahapsiy and debcate in perceptive touch than those of persons who are doscendod from a race that have been able to use tho kid or other skiu glove habitually. One is often surprised to see what beautiful hands the children of the poor classes poetess, notwithstanding the laborious pursuits of their parents, and vice versa. The Snider and the Bee. A ipniRR, liviner in the co mtry, and having f. Mowed his business for a time in an obscure corner, determinfd to travel a little, for imprevement of taste, anel also for any advantage in business which might chance to turn up. By a good fortune he turned his steps to a flowr garden, where wre displayed a thousand blossoms, of trerj variety and hue. As we always compare new things to something well known before, so in his mind he compared the colors of brilliant flow ers to the various insects which, in his entomological studies, he had btconie acquainted with. Esated with all he saw, he passed on, sometimes creeping, somstimes throwing a suspension bridge from pier to pier of flower-stalks, unlil the thought occurred to him that he bad not dineel nor supped. Accordingly he locke' around for a place whereon to spread his bible. For spiders are aocustomed to spread their table first, and then to sit down on it, or near it, to see what fortune will rend them. t length after several seloctiong and rejections, he found a saloon of the most admirable description. It was notion S lets than a morning glory! If he hae only known the name which it bore in the catalogues, he would, I suppose, have been still more proud than he was of his t nt. For that must be a sumptuous flower which can boast a name as long as a Spanifh princess, as this did. It was the gseesee hestsfuwei swnsvee gran(hflr. Across the opening of this Sflendid bell the spider stretched his web. In the morning I first saw him there The dew was fresh on the leaves. He said to himself, 44 This iH tho very cHl of pleasure I There will be enough hungry flies or other insecta coming here for honey. It shall be my business to entertain them when they come.' Alas for day dreams! While he w II thus fondly expecting his guests, I saw a bumblebee of tho 'argest size luavi v flying from blossom to blossom, from hi II to bell, and the thought CTOsecO my mind, how queer it would be If he houkl viHt thr spider. Hure enough, he leesned to have caught my thought, for, in a second, he carried his gn at blundering body right dowr to the bell through the web! lint not lil ing ft, ho mado off, like Sampson, with a part of his prison on his shoulders.

Meanwhile, the spider seemed far more alarmed than the bee, and shrunk back into hi3 flower house. Misfortunes never

come single, it is saiei. after this encounter, I About an hour went out tu see how the tTaveleel spider was enjoying himself. Ho and I had both forgotten one thing, and that is, that on a fair summer morning the convolvulus shuts up its blossoms by ten o'clock. While the spider lay securely inside, tha edges had folded down and closed the opening entirely ! The flower had proved a prison ! Ah, ye who spin webs of evu across the places of pleasure, anel lurk for the destruction of the simple, may your refuge prove a snare, and may you be caught in the very net which you spread for others. A Södel Doctor. Stevens, of Massachusetts, was one of those who had rather risk being disturbed at nights for an insignificant complaint, than to expose himscil to the nece.ity of putting to the debt of his conscience a dead body that he miht have conjured into life. He related to me some very amusing facts and of a nature to excuse, to a certain point, the un.ler-forwardness that certain physicians ehow to disturb their sleep for unknown patients. One night, a big fellöw of a lackey, gilt-edged and laced a'l over, pulled tke Eell violently at tc dootor'u door. It was winter. It froze so hard that it would have made a white beai shiver. Three o'clock had just Elruek. The lackey came, in absence of the ordinary physician of his mistress, Madam R , to cLiim tne immediate cars of the doctor. The case w as urgent ; there was not a moment to be lost. Fuming as he did, the doctor rose, dresstd in haste and ran banumbed with colJ, Pd harassed with fatigue to the home of the distinguished patient.
