The Kingdom of Judah. . *
Th k monarchy of Judah, fflom the anoint*
iticr of'Saul to the captivity, ot Zedekiah,
lasted five hundred years, lacking one—
The number *>f reigning monarch's, thclti-
one was twenty-tlfree.
these thirteen were wicked, and we fear
died impenitent. Six died a violent death.
Four were taken captive, and ended their
days in a foreign land. One died.a leper,
• a some : other loathsome disease,
and a third from wounds received in an
unjust battle; and ten only of what we may
term a natural death. The longest reign
was fifty-two years, and the shortest three
months. .
During tire existence ot this kingdom,
the people, owing to their rebellion, .often
suuered all the horrors erf war.
king ot Egypt, first robbed the temple.—
Jerusalem, their capital, was taken by the
king'of Israel; its walls in various parts
broken down, and the riches ot the temple
carried AwiteS- It was afterwards deprived
ag&iit ot'Ub and silver, which were
presented to the king of Assyria, to secure
his aid the Syrians ; and’ JTezqpiab
had even to strip off the gold from the in
ner posts to appease Sennacherib, besides
raising an immense sum ot money from
bis people tovpresent to that haughty mon
arch, to papiiy bis anger. Afterwards, the
king of Egypt having gained the battle in
which Josiah was mortally wounded, car
ried away the succeeding prince to his own
country; where he died a prisoner, laid the
whole country under a heavy fine, and en
dowed The brothel* of his prisoner with the
regal authority. Lastly, the king of Baby
lon besieged ft, and led away its monarch
captive, with a great number of the people;
made the uncle of his prisoner king, and
changed his name to Zedekiah, whose re
bellion and wickedness soon tilled up the
cup of desolation. The armis of the Assy
rian kin<; again invested the city, which
was literally broken up; the king’s sons
slain before his eves; himselt hound in
fetters; his own eyes put out, and carried
away a captive to Babylon. Soon after
another army was sent, with orders to hum
rhe temple ami brirg away the remaining
i idles, and whatever else was deemed val
uable, to Babylon; which commission was
fulfilled to the utmost, and Jerusalem sat
as a widow among the nations.
REFLECTIONS.
j!\o history is so full ot extraordinary
and thrilling events as that ot the ancient
Hebrews. Their origin is not, like that of
other nations, clouded in fabulous obscuri
ty,, hut is traced with clearness and truth
up to their great .ancestor Abraham. Nor
can any other people boast of characters
so wortW*both of.our admiration and love,
as can she descendants of Israel. Owing
perhaps to a false prejudice, and to ideas’
imbibed by what we term a classical edu- j
cation, we idolize the philosophers, states
.men, generals, historians, patriots, and j
poets, of Greece and Rome, and attribute J
me civilization and science we'possess to
Their genius and efforts, and yet, how much |
more invaluable is ft-for the human family, ;
■flint the Jews existed as a distinct people, J
.. established ani protected, not* by a sup
posed and false plurality ot impure and I
contentious deities, but by the one eternal, j
holy, and’ unchangeable Jehovah, who not !
only made this people the possessors and
the guardians of his revealed will, but who,
in the person of his Son, became a citizen
amdbg them, and the author ot invaluable
blessings, unlimited by the :fges of time,
suited to the, happiness, and available by
every branch of the human family.
We do reverence to the wise laws ot So
lon, of Lycnrgus, and of JNTima ; and yet,
the commonwealth modelled by the wis
dom and judgment of Moses, under divine
in finance, throws the social institutions ot
the firmer characters into theshade. We \
admire the calmness and fortitude with j
which Socrates drank off the cup ot poison, j
and yielded to the unjust condemnation of ;
his judges; and yet, Daniel and his three J
countrymen surely evinced more heroic j
and decisive conduct, when consigned to 1
a death more painful gnd violent. The j
fabulous strength of Hercules has more .
than counterpart in the gigantic feats j
of Samson; and the manner by which at j
his death he avenged the disgrace and cu- j
land tv brought upon his nation by us etie- j
mies, has nothing in profane history that j
can he compared with it.
The life of Joseph, of David ; the patri
otism and feats performed by Joshua, Gid
eon, and others ; the wonderful characters
of the prophets, their faithfulness, their
devotedness to truth, their boldness before
kings, and the miracles they performed,
are far rtiore worthy to be treasured up in
the minds both of the young and the aged,
than all the campaigns and triumphs that
heathen anchors have recorded upon the
pages of story.
Lastly, this people, we believe, have yet
a part to act in the great family of man.
not yet accomplished, and for which they
are preserved a distinct, although a de- |
spised race. The Persian is no longer the j
arbiter of the world’s destinies. Egypt,
with all its learning and architecture, is j
now a base people. Greece is no longer •
famed either for philosophy or valor; and j
Rome, instead of being the mistress of the j
nations, is now rather the curse and the j
shame of the present century. But the
Hebrew, neither in nationality nor inter
est. has ceased from wing a name that yet
is to be great, and is hereafter to bear a
.prominent part in the great events that
are r usher in the millennial age.—

Persecution of the Jews.
How literally has the word of God re
specting the Jewish nation been fulfilled in
the history of that unfortunate people for
tiie-lust eighteen centuries! They, have
been scattered* all* over the face of the
earth? Bv people of all religious creeds
thev have b<*en regarded with abhorrence
ami loathing; and from.the time when
.‘they lent thujr.influence to the crucifixion
of the Messiah, their entire history has
been little else than a record of the wrongs
and persecutions they have isuff’ertfu. —
Wherever they have gone, they have* been
.singled out as the'’ of oppression.
In England, until within less than two cen
turies, they were regarded a| outcasts. —
All the nations on t;he confluent of Eu
rope abuse them without ■ mercy. For a
long time, too, they found no protection
in the English law. If sfny of them accu
mulated property, some means were found
by their enemies professing ChriSfiaq, truth,
to strip thetn of it. They have been ac
cused, ,4nd probably with some justice, of
being bard with their creditors, and tut ex
torting money by fraud from those whom
they have in their power. But the treaf
ment they-received, in such a multitude of
instances, from those of a different reli
gious 4aith, was no doubt one of the prin
cipal causes of this extortion on their part.
Jews who were, reputed to be wealthy,
were frequently thrown into the prisons of
the Inquisition for the slightest offense;
and it was usually very easy inatjey to
procure a sentence against them, when
their property wa£ confiscated, to gratify
t|he malice and covetousness of their ene
mies.*
In a gr£at many instances, the Jewish
prisoner was put to the torture by the In
quisition, to induce him to teli where he
had hidden his gold. Sometimes the poor
man, in the consciousness of innocence in
respect to the charges against him, would
refuse to reveal this secret. Then one
mode of torture after another would he re
sorted to, until the prisoner, writhing tin
der the anguish of the thumb-screw, or
some other refined mode of torture, would
tell, or profess to tell, where his treasure
could be found.
They were formerly banished from Eng
land in the year 1290; and it was not until
about the year 1065, that the edict of ban
ishment was rescinded. A much more lib
eral policy has been pursued towards them
in England, since the time of Cromwell.—
It is not, however, until the ninth year of
the reign of George 1., that we can discov
er any evidences of their being acknowl
edged by the Government as British sub
jects. An act was passed by parliament
at that time, in these words: “Whenever
any of his Majesty’s subjects, professing
the Jewish religion, shall present them
selves to take oath, the words, ‘on the faith
of a Christian,’ shall he omitted out of
the oath; and the taking of it by such pro
fessing the Jewish religion, without the
words aforesaid, shall be deemed a suffi
cient taking.” Still they are not, even at
the present time, admitted to all the rights
of citizenship in England. It is onl y in
the New World that they receive the same
immunities with those professing the Chris
tian faith.
Paper Making.
Few persons have an adequate idea of
the immense amount of capital and labor
employed in the manufacture cf paper.—
And it is only by a recourse to figures and
reliable statistics, that a just conception of
the nature and extent of the business can
be approximated. The rate at which the
consumption of the artcile increases, lias
far outstripped the most extravagant antic
ipations that could have been entertained,
and has opened the eyes of manufacturers
to the startling fact that the source front
which they have derived the material nec
essary for the manufacture of paper, and
which they had regarded as unfailing, has
bee-comparatively exhausted—to such an
extent, at least, as to render them no long
er able to keep pace wjth the demand.—
Rags which at one time proved a serious
incumbrance to house-keepers, and were
thrown out with the daily offal, are now
becoming not only sought after,- but an ar
ticle esteemed almost precious.
This .state of things has ‘been foreseen,
and the proprietors of the London Truitts,
knowing the effect an advance in the price
of paper growing out of a scarcity of rags
would have in diminishing their profits,
offVrb a reward of $25,000 for the discove
ry of a cheap and perfect substitute for
rags a> a material for the manufacture of
paper. Many experiments have already
been tried, and though, as yet, without en
tire success, we may still reasouablv hope,
in view of what lias already been accom
plished, that ultimately tIH desired result
will be attained. A hat man jms done in
the past inspires the belief that his genius j
is capable of further and greater achieve- ;
meiits, that indeed whatever his physical \
and intellectual wants may crave as essen- j
tial to the grand progressive movements in ]
favor of the true interests ot his race, will i
in time be procured and brought within
the achievement of science and art. Wei
trust that the check experienced in meet
ing the demand for paper will soon be re
moved, as great inconvenience has already
been suffered, particularly by the press.— i
Many proprietors of newspapers have been
compelled to reduce the size of their sheets,
and in .some instances to'suspend the publi- :
cation of their paper altogether. -"We know ’
of no more perilous undertaking, in a pe
cuniary point of view, than to attempt, at
this time, the establishment of a newspaper.
We have at present in the United States
750 paper mills, which, it has been estima
ted, manufacture 270,000,000 pounds of
paper a year, valued at $27,000,000. Al
lowing that one and a half pound of mgs
are required to make one pound of paper,
we have 405,000,000 pounds of rags con-’
sinned in one year, which, at the rate of
four cent i a pound, are worth $16,200,0u0, 1
am. it we and to this* the cost of manufac
turing, which, with interest on fixed capi
tal, insuiance, expenses, Ac., has been
found to he $4,050,000, and the cost of la
bor, making an aggregate of $23,035,000
as the actual expenditure in manufacturing
paper worth $27,000,000, we find the meas
ure of profit by no means unreasonable,
and which might even be considered small',
were not the manufacturer comparatively
free from these sudden changes that affect
the manufacture of cloth and metals. If a
substitute for rags be discovered, which
will keep the*supplv of paper fully up tb

T}iQ,.|Hfeetfe of Fire on Business.
If, is a remarkable fact,-that the present
depressed shite of business resembles that
of 1837, anil seems to -have succeeded very
similar fe vents. , Thus, the great fee in this
city took ptace in December, 1835, am]'-the
; next seasoif, 1830, was a very
one; after which came the floor riots the
succeeding winter, dear provisions, a per
fect. panic in the money*market,and -a pros
tration in all regular husme-js’. During
the pftst yeaiT .the Tosses pa7] by marine in
surance in i:Vr.s*oity alone exceeded $12,-
000,000, while the losses by tire and storms
on land, have not been less than $18.000,000;
and, to crown all, the c*ops“\ns in 1830)
failed in many extensive districts of our
country. We cannot butconsider that the
great amount of property destroyed by fire
is a powerful element in detracting from
the wealth of our country, thereby tending
to rota ill its progress, ftftd make our }*m
ple poorer. #
If we allow only $10,000,000 per
annum have been destroyed by fire since
1836, and this, we think, is not above the
average amount, the sum total is SIBO,-
000,000 of solid wealth destroyed in that
period—eighteen years. Houses, goods,
and grain are solid wealth. Insurance com
panies do not economize the wealth of our
country; the payment of insurance money
for property consumed by fire does not
bring back that property to the communi
ty; it is gone, and never can return. It
appears to us that the accumulation of the
great losses by fires experienced in our
country must, affect all kinds of business;
and this, we think, has been overlooked by
those papers which present depressed state
of business. We say that it is only one
element of loss, but a very important orte,
and we fondly hope that this view of the
question may lead to the adoption of more
efficient remedies for the prevention of fires.

A Horse-Race in the Sandwich
Islands.
The women and girls are decidedly the
best riders. With them, not as with the
ladies in the Atlantic cities, side-saddles
are out of the question. In their loose,
flowing drapery, hair streaming in the
wind, their beautiful erect position, and
their horses careering along, like the
inarch of a whirlwind, they look majestic
ally dangerous; and yet they are never
thrown from the saddle. There is many
a lady in civilized nations who would envy
the equestrian skill of the Hawaiian wo
men. There is many a finished artist who
would be glad to have one of them as a
subject for his pencil. It may be owing
to this mode of exercise that thev, in paw,
acquire such an exquisite developement-of
form.
I wish I could fully portray these Satur
day afternoon spurts. Yonder on the
plain some forty or fifty women are speed
ing almost with the rapidity of lightning
toward some well selected goal, every
nerve and muscle of both horses and ri
ders stretched to its utmost tension—the
former from sheer instinct to gain the vic
tory, the latter from u spirit of almost
matchless daring, mirthful ness and excite
ment. Now comes along a party of men
and boys, many ot them clinging with
their naked limbs, like leeches, to the
flanks of their foaming steeds, while their
restless hands and arms are describing all
sorts of circles in the air, as if under pain
of dismemberment, but in reality, to cheer
along their animals to a swifter speed.—
Clouds of choking dust follow their track.
Here and there may be seen a mounted
foreigner quietly looking on, or sharing in
their mirth and sports.
But yonder is a scene that defies all at
tempts at discription. A few horses and
donkeys, not under immediate use, but
Which a few minutes since were quietly
feeding on the ever-living pasture, have
caught the spirit of that fiery locomotion
by which their compeers are impelled over
tlie plain. Unable any longer to control
their nature away they speed in the ut
most confusion, as though their powers of
a life endurance were all concentrated into
this single moment. Now they have
mingled with the mounted animals, shar
ing their foam, and madly plunging through
the clouds of dust, and endangering the
life and limbs of any pedestrian who fails
to get out of the way in time. On, on
they speed, like fiery Arabians over their
native sands, ail and each one struggling
for the mastery in the well-contested race
for glorv. — Sandwich Island Notes■

Clean Out Your Stables Daily.
A correspondent of the Germantown Tel
egraph purchased at a high price a young
horse which he knew to be perfectly sound.
In six months iie became quite lame, so
lame that it became painful to drive him,
and be'was sold. He then bought anoth
er one, young, strong, and quite sound. —
He, too, in less than six months was lame
in hiii feet, and so laiue that his owner was
forced to desist from using him. The cause
and cure of the evil-we give in his own
words :
“1 now began to reflect seriously on the
matter, and to hunt for the cause. Both
these horses had stood on the same soft
floor. It was my practice to allow the
manure to accumulate under the animal to
the depth of twenty inches, fresh straw be
ing sprinkled under him daily to keep him
clean—and then clear it out. This man
ure, from its fermentable nature, acted like
a hot-bej, sending forth .great heat, at
times, and copious exhalations of ammonia.
But on this the animal was compelled to
stand, there was no escape. A thought
suggested itself. The manure was removed,
the horse’s feet and legs carefully washed
in cold water three or four tiirfes a day,
and he compelled to stand on the hard
plank floor instead of on the manure. He
was cured ! I .have not, since this change
iin my practice, had a lame h #e. If oth
ers who have horses with tender feet, have
managed as I diil, they willjsfio well to

the drugs but of tiie medicinal virtues only of Vegeta
ble remedies extracted by chemical process iu a state of purity,
and combined together in such a manner as to insure the best re
sults. This system of composition for medicines has been found in
tiie Cherry Pectoral ami Piils both, to produce a more efficient
remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any process. The rea
son is perfectly obvious. While by the old mode of composition,
every medicine is burdened with more or les; of acrimonious and
injurious qualities, by this, each individual virtue only that is de
sired for the curative effect is present. All tiie inert and obnox
ious qualities of each substance employed are left behind, the cura
tive virtues only being retained. Hence it is self-evident tiie effects
should prove as they have proved more purely remedial, and the
Pills a surer, more powerful antidote to disease than anv other med
icine known to the world.

one handsome duodecimo volume. “Price £l.
In the preparation of this work, information has been
taken from every available source. Instead of lone
labo£-saving quotations usual in extended biographies,
the journals and correspondence of Judson have beeil
examined with minute care, and every thing of perma
nent interest incorporated in the narrative. The vol
ume presents accounts of the Burman missions, from
time to time, in a readily accessible form, without ren
dering it burdensome with statistical tallies. The pro
gress oi trnnslat ion is accurately noted, in a manner
which, while ado; ding an interesting narrative of the
every-day labois o; tin* gr. it translator, avoids un
necessary sameness. A faithful exhibition of his views
on the controversy concerning faithful versions which
in great measurt sprung-front his labors in transla
tions, will be given, as also his views on other grave
questions relating to missions, Ac. In fine, everv thins
which tends to delineate the abundant labors of Judson
in the cause of evangelization, will be found in such
form, that it is hJped that the work will greatly aid to
give his name th< ‘‘everlasting remembrance” promised
to the righteous. EDWARD 11. FLETCHER,
