[From Dicken's Once a Week.]
The Tbree ffiihei.
There was once a wise Emperor who
made a law that to every stranger who came
to his vourt, a fried fish should be served.
The servants were directed to take ntotice if
when the stranger had eaten the fish to the
bone on one side he turned it OVer and be-
gan on the other side. If he did, he w'as
to be immediately seised, and on the third
day thereafter he was to be pat to death.—
But by a great stretch of Imperial clemency ;
the culpitt was permitted to utter one wish
each day, which the Emperor pledged him
self to grant, provided it was not to span
his life. Many had already perished in
"consequence of this edict, when one day a
Count and his young son presented them-
selves at court. The fish was served as
usual, and when the Count had removed
all the fish from one side, he turhed it over
aiud was about to commence on the other
when he was sudden y seized and thrown
into prison, and was told of his approach1
mg doom.
Sorrow stricken, the Count's young son
besought the Emperor to allow him to die
in tile room of his father; a favor which
the monarch was pleased to accord him.—
The Count was released from prison and
his son was thrown into his cell in his
stead. As soon as this was done, the youhg
maa said to his goalers: "You know I
have the right to make three demands be-
fore I die; go and tell the Emperor to send
his daughter, and a priest to marry its."
The first command was not much to the
Emperor's taste, nevertheless he felt bound
to keep his word, and he therefore complied
with the request to which the princess had
no kind of objection.
This occurred in the times when Kings
kept their treasures in a cave, or in a town,
set apjrt for the purpose, and on the second
day of his imprisonment, the young man
demanded the K ng's treasures If his first
demand was a bald one, the secdnd was
not less so ; sjjill an Emperors wofd is sa
cred, and having made me promise, he was
forced to keep it ,* and the treasures of gold
and silver and jewels were placed at the
prisoner'.- disposal. On getting possession
of them, he distributed them profusely
■among the courtiers, and soon he had made
a host of friends by his liberality.
The Emperor began now to feel ekceed
iflgly uncomfortable. Unable to sleep, he
rose early on the third morning and went,
with fear in his heart, to the prison, to hear
what tie third was to be.
"Now, said he to the prisonerj" "tell
me what your third demand is, that it ihay
be granted at once, and you may be huiig
o,ut of hand, for I am tired of your de-
mands. "
"Sir," answered his prisoner, " Í have
but one more favor to request of youf Ma-
jesty, which, when you have granted, I
shall die content. It is merely that you
will cause the tycs of those who sdW thy
father turn the fish over, to be put out."
"Very good," replied the Emperor,
" your demand is but natural, aud springs
from a good heart. Let the Chamberlain
be seiied," he continued, turning to his
guards.
"I Sir!" cried the Chamberlain; "I
did not see anything—it was the steward."
" Let the steward be seized, then I" Cried
the King.
But the steward protested with tears in
his eyes that he had not witnessed any-
thing of what had been reported, and Said
it was the butler. The butler declared that
he had seen nothing of the matter, and that
it must have been oue of the valets. But
they protested that they were utterly igtio-
rant of what had been charged against the
Count; in short, it turned out that nobody
could be found who had seen the Count
commit the offence, upon which the Prin-
cess said.-
er Solomon, '"ff nubody saw the offeb&e
committed, the Count cannot be guilty, and
my husband is innocent. "
"Let it be so," said his Majesty; "let
him live, though I have put many a man ta
death for a lighter offence than his. But if
he is not hung, he is married. Justice has
been done."

'tis a carious-fact as ever was known>
But often in human nature shown,
Alike in the Castle or cottage,
That pride, like pigs,of a certain brood
Will idanage to live and thrive on food
As poor is pauper's pottage;
Of alt the notable thiogs on earth, .
The queerest thing is the pride of bfrthj
Among ottr ■ fierce democracia;"
A bri tge across hundred years,
Without a prop to save it from sneers—
Not e ven a couple of rotten peers—
A thing for laughter, flings and jeersv
Is American aristocracy. x
Depend upon it, snobbish fKend,
Your family thread you can't ascend)
Withodt good reason to apprehend
You may find it waxed.on the other end
By some plebeian avocation 1
Or worse than that, your blasted line
Miy end in «'loop of strong twine
That plagued some worthy relation*
Because you flourish in worldly aftíiitoy
DO not be haughty and pbt on airs,
With insolent pride of station I
Don't be proud and turn tip your nose
At poorer people in plainer clothes,
But learn, ftr the Sake of your minds repose.
That all proud flesh, wherevé'r it gh)#s,
Is subject to irrita'ion.

Storm in Nunanaer.
Look! look that vivid flash I
And instantly follows the rattling thunder
As if fioltte clottd-crag, split assuader,
Fell, splintering with * ruinous crash.
On the earth, which crouches in silence under)
And now a solid gray wall of rain
Shuts oft the landscape, itllle By mile;
For a breath's space I see the bine wood again,
And ere the next heartbeat, the wiod-hdrrd pile.
That seent'd but now a leagde aloof,
Burst rattling o'er the sun^parcbed roof;
Against the windows the storm conies dashing,
Through tattered foliage the bail tears Crashing;
íhe bide lightning flashes,
the rapid bail clashes,'
The white waves are tumbling)
And in one baffled roar,
Like the toothless sea mumbling
A rock bristled shore,
The thander is rambling.
And crushing and crumbling;

The ¡Vanroe Doctrine
While thé United States troops WeFB
en route for Texas, the New Orleans
Picayune said—
The Government at Washington is
determined not to be caught napping in
the Mexican itnbroglioi Four corps of
veteran troops, under some of the best
generals in the service, are en route fof
the Rio Grande. The energetic arid
dashing Sheridan goes as chief; and has
associated with him the skillful and sci-
entific Weitkel; the bold, vigorous and
enterprising Steele; the veteran and
experienced Granger—ail men who have
figured wUh great distinction in the late
war, all officers of the regular array—
not politicians and partisans—but mili
tary men of education aiid long service)
who will «' obey orders if they break
owners." They will take with them
seVenty thousand soldiers that ought to
be equal to the best regular troops in
the world.
What will they do Í what are U?ey

present greatly puzzle the curiosity of
the people. It is not our faiilt if we

fields where tbe weeds are nbtkepl under, there
« a positive loss of at least one-fourth of tb<-

jMuiug acre, kept free fruía weeds-, yielded
twenty two and a hall. They rob the growth

Boos.—Here is a table showing the fátmer
what will be the cost to him of pork fattened
bv himself. It is based bpori the ssunipti< n
that pounds of corn will produce 1 ponnii
of pork. Of course the breed of hpas, differen-
ce* of treatment, etc., will make actual results
vary more ur less from this table. When corn
ciists 25 cents per bushel, pork costs 3 cents
per pound. When cotn Costs 35 cents per
bUsbet, pork costs 4 cents ner pound-. When
corn costs 42 cents per bushel, port costs 5
cent# per pound. Again : When pork sells for
3 cents per pound, it brings 25 cents per bushel
for corn. When pork sells for 4 cents per
pott ill, it brings 35 cents per bushel for corn.—
When pork sells for 5 cents per pound, it brings
48fleets per bushel for corn. When pork setts
for < cents per pound, it brings 50 cents per
bushel for corn.
Tbe Vanderinr Jew.
Ño Fable has ever taken so strong a bold on
the minds of tbe musses as this great legend ot
the .Middle Ages. To this day it íb beard wi h
hushed reverence in Brittany and other Catholic
Countries, where belief yet finds a home with
the humblest, and the peasant shrinks aside
when returning at nightfall, as he catches a
fancied glimpse of the dark garments and Hat-
ing beard that mark the accursed presence of
the reviler of bis Lord. In tbe Fine Arts and
Literature the same idea of a mysterious being—
pervading all time but yet not of it, nor subject
to its influence—has been embellished by the
genius of Croley, Godwin, ciue, and others,
while an American scholar ( David Hofiman, of
Baltimore) has chosen it as tbe means of pour-
ing oat a multifarious stock of learning and
observation io his work, lelt unfinished at his
death, " Cartaphilus, or tbe Wandering Jew,"
of which three massive volumes have appeared.
A well-known French author, who writes under
the name of " Le Bibliophile Jacob," and who
has done much for tbe illustration of old b ioks
and old authors, has lately suggested an origin
for this story of high imaginative and poetic
merit, tie surmises that tbe Wandering Jetv
was originally conceived and endowed with
personality by some preacher or poet, now lost
in the darkness of the twelfth century, ns a
type, a majestic adegory of his scattered na
tion—scattered but iudestructible; dispersed
among all people, but surviving their disper-
sion'; and preserving, in the midst of other na
tions, their nationality, their characteristics,
their laws, and their religion, in the tee<h <>t
persecutions to whict tbey have been univers-
ally subjected. Outraged, despoiled, driven
l'rom place to place, they have never been dis-
' couraged—tney o stinaiely return to former re-
sorts—they brave again dangers from which
Ihey hive but just escaped—they hide them-
selves to escape-outrage and punishment ; but
they will not abdicate tbei costume nor their
peculiar physiognomy, because tbey persist in
remaining Jews till the coming ot the Messiah,
which tbey expect with confidence. Such has
been the fate Ofthe Jews—such is the condition
of the Wandering Jow according to the legend.
Sir Walter Scott never wrote truer words
than these—none that are better fitted to bino
the human family in ties of brotherhood : " The
race of mankind wou d perish did they cease to
aid each other. From the time that the mother
binds the child's head till the moment that some
kind assistant wipes the death-damp from he
brow of the dying, we can no> exist without
mutual help. All, therefore, that need *id have
a right to ask it of their fellow-mortals. N'
one who holds the power of granting can refuse
without guilt.
Test of Loyalty,
We clip the following from the Caddo Qazette:
Great enerey is displayed in repairing rail
roads and telegraph lines east of the river.
Uninterrupted Communication by rail on all tb
leading routes will give an outlet to tbe cotton

This sudden change from the din of horrid
war to the paths of peace, must have a won
derful influence on onr people, and act as a di-
version t< their thoughts, now saddened and
depressed by overwhelming calamities.
Let us not brood over the errors and disas-
ters of the past, bor cultivate a spirit of bitter
m ss and hatred against the Federal authorities,
but r«ther press forward in tbe path of duty a
good citizens, and endeavor to repair 'he inju-
ries the war has made. While we should con
tend for all the rights guaranteed by the C< n
stitution, let us in future appeal to the court
for redress, and abide the result of their decís
ions. To act otherwise is madness and folly
We must adapt ourselv- s to the change of c r
cumstancea, even if our conduct >hould subjec
us to the charge of inconsistency. We are now
citiz -ns of tbe (jnited States,and the sooner w
realise tbe fact the better.
The call of a Convention in Texas to restore
tbe relations of that State with the IT. States
is a most important and significant siep loward.-
a restoration of the old Union. How far those
ho aided in taking tfye State out, can aid io
bringing it buck, remains to be s-en. Prom
every indication in the East we are inclined to
the opinion that none but " loyal" men w I
be allowed to participate in the re> iginiz-1
State Governments. What standard of loyalty
will be exacted by those in power, we cannni
say. If they recognize all as loyal who will in
good faith take tbe oath and adhere to it, al-
though tbey may have been active secession-
ists, there wilLbe.a large majority of tbe sub-
stantial men of Texas ready aud willing to co-
peiitte in restoring the Union.
If, on the other band," loyalty " means a de-
nunciation of all who participated in the war,
i base and cringing subserviency to Federal
fficers, there will be a contemptible minority
of toadies and sycophants who will be ever
ready to
" Crook the pregnant hinges of the knee.
Where thrift may I allow fawning."
Such men were useful in the South to tbe Fed
eral authorities during tbe existence of actual
hostilities ) but now that society is to be reor
ganized and governments reconstructed, the
best, tbe wisest of all parties should be chosen.
We will command the respect of the conquero's
if we act in such a way as to.deserve it We
fully endorse the article from-ihe Houston Tele-
grapo in reference to tbe qualification of tbe
members to the Convention. Let there be chosen
uo men of straw, no low demagogues or politi-
cal hacks, but tbe purest men and those who
bave the confidence of tbeir constituiente.
The Legislature of Tennessee, organ-
ized on a Union basis under the auspices

Excerpts.
Johnson said, and said truly, it is more frrtn

ying, that there is so much falsehood in tbe

What constitutes a Gbntlbhan.—Tbe late
Judge Talfourd, in a case tried at the Bristol
(England) Assizes, shortly before bis stidoen
death, thus defined the character of a genile-
man : The evidence proved that the defendant,
while in the theater, had said to the plaitftiflj
" Do not speak to me; I am a gentleman, and
you are a tradesman.1' " Gentlemen,*' said the
learned Judge, " is a term which does not ap-
ply to any station. The man of rank who de
ports himself with dignity and candor, and the
tradesman who discharges the duties of life with
honor and integrity¡ are alike entitled to it;
nay, tbe humblest artizan, who fulfills the obli-
gations cast dpou him with virtue and honor,
ir more entitled to the name of gentleman thab
the man who eoüld indulge in offensive and ri'
bald reihaf-ks, hoürever high his station."

centration of so large a force in so re* * twoght it was taken, I found it there.,'
mote a part of the Republic. The one
is to ensure the neutrality of the Ünited
States in the present war in Mexico, ac-
cording to the pledges and arguments
used by Mr. Seward to Drouytt de
L'Huys. These pledges were made by
Mr. Dayton, at the time certain vessels
were bi-ing constructed in the port of
Bfest fof the Confedéíates, and when
the neutrality of France began to look
very dubious. The conditions on the
part of the Imperial Government were
that the Confederates should hot com-
plete their vessels and send them to sea,-
and France should go no further in her
intervention scheme. This pledge was
faithfully kept by France. The Confed-
erates did not get their ships and France
observed her neutrality. Mr. Seward,
we presume; would be eqtlallv exact in
keeping his part of the contract, but it
is a very ticklish question whether Pres-
ident Johnson and the' people will con-
sider themselves bohnd by such obliga-
tions. If they do not; and are impreg-
nated to any extent with the great Amer-
ican doctrine, as Prince Napoleon styled
it in his Ajaccio deliverance, first an-
nounced by the illustrious Monroe, we
can imagine a more practical, and, per-

Nursing tiie Sick;
When you have to sit up with your
patient, endeavor to secure a few hours'
sldep in the after part of 'the day, that
yoa may be fresh and prepared for your
nigft duty. Then thoroughly renovate
youself by washing, dressing, and tak-
ing i good meah Make every prepara-
tion for the night in good time, so that
the com may be quiet early. None but
thoiw who have felt it can "have any idea
of tb artnoyance it is to a sick person
id be disturbed, just as she hoped she
was Wing off to sleep, by her nurse
buatjlg ahqflt flip roomr pp.riiapa with a
ligh Ttf her hand, making up the are,
opei lig the dcror, and drawing her own
com rtd around her. The necessary
preft rations must be disturbing and
trou esome, and for that very reason
shorn I be completed early.
H JL-plenty of candles, or oil for the
nigbjtmp at hand, and the medicine in
re?i|jss, with glass and spoon and writ-
yctions, and any kind of nourish

The Independendence Beige, in its
Parasian correspondence of May 30,
gives the following interesting besume
of the Marquis de Montholon's first dis-
patches from Washington in relation to
the Mexican question :
" The official, and semi-official press
of Paris is tryidg to appease public o'pifi-
ion by publishing the reply of President
Johnson to the Marquis de Montholon,
and the President's order closing the
erollment offices for volunteers against
Mexico. What these journals do riot
publish, but what we shall, perhaps, find
one of these days in the little weekly
review which the Moniteur has fallen
into the h ibit of giving us ; or, rather,
I should say, perhaps, what is resarved
for the time when the debates on the
budget will bring political issues up be-
fore the public^ is the news I shall now
try to give you, " my informatioft being,
as I believe, of the best character."
The Marquis de Montholon has sent a
very full dispatch to the Government.
The result of the impressions and obser-
vations of our Minister át Washington
is; that a tranquil policy will certainly
prevail in the councils df the White
House, at least for awhile, for so long,
that isj as may be necessary to enable
the great republic to salve its sores, to
get its finances into order, arid to reor-
ganize society in the still half-rebellious
provinces of the South.
The order to close the Juarez recruit-
ing offices was a serious order ; but no-
qody is deceived as to the practical in-
efficacy of Such a measure to prevent
sporadic expeditions of men and muni-
tions of war. It is prodable, moreover,'
that the American Govern me tit would'
not be sorry to see the country thus re-
lieved of a Certain nambér of disorderly
and dangerous citizens.
In the course of a year or two, if, ft*
we may suppose may be the case ¡all tft j
efforts of the partisans of Juarez to kee
a force afoot shall be victoriously sup-
pressed on Mexican soil, and if comuier-
citt-l relations between the new empire
and America increase so as to be of im-
Cooking bt Steam.—The troop* com-
prising the expedition which sailed from
Fortress Monroe for Texas were fur-
nished with warm food by a new process,
which is thus described
It consists simply in conveying steam
from the boilers through a system of
pipes. These pipes pas; through a range
of wooded barrels. The pipe passing
throhgh the barrels is fieftorated itn
holes, allowing the steam to penetrate
the contente of the barrel. , These bar-
rels are filled with pork, beef, coffee, or
the ingredients of lean or rice Soup.—
The steam is turned on at the boilers, at
once etiters the wopden cauldrons and
their codtenta immediately begin to boil
and bubble; A barrel of packed mess
pork or beef is done in two hours. Beart
soup in one hour. CoBeé is prepared in
thirty mifluteá.

All endeavors to effect this object in the
Interval would probably be idle.
Whatever pay may be the Case here-
after, for the moiiiéntj according to the
Marquis de Montholon, Maximilian may
breaths freely; but, at the same time; it
would be a great mistake to fall asleep on
the subject. This is certainly the im-
pressiou in the highest quartet s of the
French Government.
Letters from Viénfia iiiention that Mr.
Mutley has had an interview with Count
Mensdorff,in which he gave the Austrian
Premier the most satisfactory explana-
tions in reference to Mexico, and assured
him that the United States Government
had not the slightest intention to inter-
fere with the domestic arrangements of
that country. It is added, however, that
this communication was not made by the
Austrian Minister in his official-capacity,
or in consequence of instructions from
the'President, but merely as expressing
his private opinion on the subject. The
United States Government have certain-
ly no right to interfere in the internal
affairso. Mexico, buttiey have a right
to prevent other Powers from interfering;
and it the n w imperial regime is sus-
t lined by French troops, or At stri.inand
Belgian volunteers,-the imperialists can-
not complain if the republicans are sup-
ported in the same manner by American
-ympathizers, in which cas.* the throne
o. Maximilian is not likely to be worth
many weeks' purchase. The last ac-
counts from Mexico foreshadow the in-
evitable result of an attempt to engralt
monarchical institutions on American
soil. '1 he Belgian auxiliaries seemed to
have fared as ill as the '• braves Beiges'
have ;nvariably done, from the the battle
ot Waterloo to tlw- ~
ier real state. Our first impulse is

tHo l..-g;ai*t.nre ot Brussels will probably
enter an energetic protest against any
furthtT participation in an enterprise
from which their country can neither ex-
pect to derive honor nor profit. As for
Austria, the Mexican adventure has
been unpopular there Irom th very out-
set. The press was unanimous in de-
preciating the idea of an Austrian -rch-
duke s accepting a crown from the hands
of a man' who had just robbed his house
of one of its fihest provinces, and the
clergy, who were the only party favora-
ble to it, have been alienated since then
by the decree of the new Emperor con-
firming the confiscation of church prop-
erty by his republican predecessor.
