Love and Hymns.
A travelling minister, P——, grealljr at
tached to a young lady, whenever he came to
preach at the Church in her. neighborhood,
and she was present, gave out the hyiun be
ginning— *
“ Where e’er I roam, where e'er I move,
I moot the object ofSny love.”
This being mentioned to a friend, she told
us of an old Deacon, down East, who waq,
in love with a widow whose first name was
Sally. So in Church, where they worshiped,
a favorite song of his was—
“ Lord send us salvation now.”
which ho would thus sing—
Lord send us Sal—
Send us Sal—
Lord 9end us Sa/vation now.
The widow was not insensible to his feel
ings, and to show her frame of mind, struck
up this Hymn, a favorite of hers.
“ Oh! for a mansion in tho skies,’*
which she thus divided : 1
O, for a man—
O, for a man—
O, for a mansion in the skies.
The next Sunday, they sat in the same
pew, “bone of one flesh, and flesh. of one
bone.”
SOON AND MORNING.
Them are gains tirall our losses.
There are balms for all our pain;
But when youth, the dream departs.
It takes somethin# from our hearts,
And it never comes sgain.
We are stronger, and arc better
Uuder manhood’s sterner reign;
Still we feel that something tweet
Fullowe 1 youth with living feet,
And will never come again
Something beautiful is vanished'
And we sigh f »r it in vain
We behold it every \v:,ere.

The catechism prepared expressly for
the ns© of schools ana families, teaches
the children to love the Czar before God;
while their creed, commences with “I
believe in God, ip Heaven, and in the
Czar on earth.” Such is in brief, the
present condition of the Greek Chnrch
in Russia. Rendered subservient in all
its aspects to the unqualified support of
-'a central despotism, the extension of au
thority of the Czar over-the purer reli
gion of the Greek Church in Turkey
would be in effect a furtlier-extension of
his temporal and spiritual authority.—
As they are constituted even now, the
christian churches in the East have much
more to hope from the tolerant principles
.avowed by Abdul Mejid, than from any
connection with tho. Russian Czar; and
loosely held together es the Empire of
Turkey is admitted to be, she yet offers
the promise of*a more rapid advance to
a liberal form of government, and to Eu
ropean civilization, than those Russian
hordes of semi-barbarians whose igno
rance is fostered, and whose superstitious
feelings are encouraged by a clergy, as
degraded, for the most part, as the peas-
antry around them, and only distinguish
able from the peasantry by their uncrop
ped hair and the long cane which is in
variably borne as the symbol of priestly
office.—Baltimore Patriot. •

The ecclesiastical hierarchy of the
Greek Chnrch in Russia, is very similar
in its component parts to that of the
Latin Church elsewhere; the principal
difference being, that the Czar is the su

ThcJardin des Plants.
Wc found the Jardin des plants throng
ed with women and children. The sun
warmed them into merry life. Onr first
it was to the animals- Madame I.
called on an old acquaintance. During
her husband’s life, they had been con
nected with the army in Africa; and
domiciled iu garrison, one of the officers
purchased a cub-lion, which was permit
ted to run at large in the court. The
animal, under the generous diet of his
masters, grew to an enormous size, and
from continual kind treatment, was quiet
and good natured as a house-dog. The
women petted hijn, and the children
played with him. He grew to such mag
nitude and beauty, that the officers de
termined to preseut him to the French
Government. His Lionship embarked
accordingly. During his voyage, his
temper was much injured by . the vexa
tions incident to The sea; but, on his ar
rival in Paris and introduction to a nar
row cage, his nature seemed to change,
and lie became as ungovernable as before
be had been docile. We found him suf
ficiently quiet, reposing with that won
derful head resting between his large
jaws. Madame L. spoke to him, and
lifting his head, ho opened the large vel
low eye's slowly anl _
no look of recognition. Lions had bad
memories, and this was not the first to
forget the hand which once nourished his
lordship. I can’t help dropping now and
then, one of these profound remarks—it
gives one such an ah of wisdom.
I wanted to remain hours with these
terribly beautiful creatures, but our con
ductor expected some sous at the last
door, and got to it as soon as lie could.
A man passed us, throwing pieces of beef
into the. cages, and I enjoyed greatly the
rapid wav in which they disposed of
their provender; hut they grumbled all
the while—like old fellow’s at a hotel.—
Ifl could believe one hyena, he had
been accustomed to much better living at
home, and was being put upon most
abominably in this place. Honest old
Bruin, alone, made no complaint;in font,
seemed to be thanking Providence, m-
Ite eat with such gusto.
Aacicm; Jokes on Physicians.

6W rrik d ' ,<r ^ ,e ignorance of physic.”
-The Emperor Adrian continually ex*
claimed, as lie was dying, fthat the
crowd of.physicians had lulled him.”
iEsqp pleasently represents the tyran-
lcal authority physicians usurp oyer poor
creatures, weakened and dejected by
sickness and fear: he says; “that a sick
person being' asked by his physician what
operation he found from the medicine ho
had $iven him?” “I havo sweat very
much,” says the sick man; “thatisgood,”
says the physician;-another time having
asked him “how he felt after his physic ?”
“I have been very cold, andli&vea great
shivering upon me,” said he; “that is
good,” replied the physician. After a
third dose he asked him again “how he
did!” “Why;-1 find‘myself-swelled,
and puffed up, as if I had the dropsy.”-—
“Better still,” said the physician; one of
his servants coming presently after to
inquire, .“how he felt himself ?” ‘-‘Truly,
friend,’^ said he, “with being wrell I am
about to die. 7 ’
There wan a law in Egypt, by which
the physician, for the first three days,
was to take charge of his patient at the
patients own peril and fortune ; but those
three days being past, it was to he at his
own.. . •
A physician boasting toNicocles “that
his art was of ereat authority,” “it is so,
indeed,” said Nicocles, “as it can, with
impunity, kill so many peopled’
To many of the cages were little dqgs,
plar.-o there, the conductor informed us,
to k si the animals company. The ef-
feet might be pleasant to the wild beasts,
but the poor dogs seemed sadly ennuied,
and begged us piteously to betaken into
better society.. We found quite a crowd
col J ected round the pleasant residence of
a huge monkey, who seemed to he aware
of his attractions, for he kept up a con
tinuous chattering, climbing and tum
bling about his large glass house. Icon-
t l asted this large, comfortable apartment,
with the narrow cages of lions and tigers,
and indulged in another wise reflection,
to tlie extent that monkeyshave always
tlie best places in this world.
The exhibition was too near humanity
t o be pleasant, so we made our way to
the residence of the great attraction of
the gardens, the hippptamus. We found
the star enjoying a hath; indeed:
It takes a down east man to ask ques
tions ; but once in a while one of-them
finds his match. Jonathan overtook a
gentleman who was travelling on horse
back notwithstanding the disadvantages
of having lost a leg. His curiosity was
awakened, as he rode alongside of him,
to know how he chanced to meet with
such a misfortune.
“Been in the army, I guess?” said
tho anxious inquirer
“ Never was in the army in my life”
die traveler remarked.
“Fit a duel p’raps?”
“ Never fought a duel, Sir.”
“ Horse throwd you off, I guess, or
something of that are sort ?”
“No, Sir; nothing of the kind.”
Jonothan tried various dodges, but
all to no effect; and at last almost out of
patience with himself as well as with
the gentleman whose patience was very
commendable, he determined on a direct
inquiry a9 to the nature of the accident
hy which the gentlman had lost his leg.
“ I will toll yon,” replied the traveler
“cm condition that yon will promise not
to ask me another question.’ 4
Agreed, agreed!” exclaimed the
eager listener; ‘ ‘agreed! ”
“ Well, Sir,” remarked tlie-gentleman,
it was hit off!"
“ Bit off!” cried Jonathan. “Wa’ll
I declare, I should just like to know
what on arth hit it off!"
Jonathan was no more inquisitive,
and no more taken aback, than the in
quiring Englishman, who had been be
trayed into presumption of asking a
gentleman with whom he was travelling,
if he was a single man ? “No, I am not
Sir.”
Oh, I beg; yonr pardon—a married
ried man?”
“ No, Sir, 1 am not.”
“ Pray, excuse me; I perceive yon are
a widower.”
“No, I am not a widower.”
The inquisitor was nonplussed. Not
a single man, nor a widower: “ Pray,
what may you be, if I may be so bold
as to ask ?” v

Here is an aceount of a little census
jsceue which came off in Ewen street be
tween the Marshal and a gentleman from
Germany; . v *
“Who Uv.es here?”
“Taw.”
“What’s,your name?”
“Sharmany, on der Rhine.”
“What’s your father’s liame ?”
“Nix for strew,”
“When did you arrive in this city ?”
“Mit a steamboats.”
“Got any children?”
“Yaw—two barrels mit krput.”
“How long have you resided in this
house?”
Two rooms and der basements.”

“Wheye dijj^ou Uvelast year?”
“Across der rcifsiofe as voa come up
mit der merket in your rigfit hand, ne-
hind der pump Vat pelongs to der plack-
smidshopes.”
The Marshal having entered all this,
made up his mind that he would push
ahead and examino Hans, who lived up
stairs “mit der banisters.” j W-e shall
note his success at an early day.—Brook

The presence of an ex-President of
the United States at our court, is an ev
ent which deserves a passing note. Mr.
Fillmoredooks even a younger man than
Mr- Buchanan the American Minister:
his hair is not so white, nor is there any
appearance of boldness. He seems
apparently abont fiifty-eiglit, is smaller
in stature than tho minister,, but with as
handsome and intellectual a countenance.
It is amusing to see the sangfroid with
which the former chief of this powerful
government is treated by the officers of
one of his successors. The republican
■principle in this matter is no fiction, and
the ex-President has really and actually
become nothing more than an American
citizen. Mr. Fillmore has, however, been
received with much consideration at
Court and with great distinction by the
ministers. At the brilliaqt assemblies of
Viscountess Palmerston and the Coun
tess of Clarendon there is no doubt the
ex-President will be the personage of
the day.
When presented to her Majesty, Mr.
Fillmore wore a plain full dress suit.—
