tributions levied by flaynau are the penalties of the
Jews' attachment to the noble-hearted Kossuth and
his aspirations.
The following sketch, taken out of K.ossuth's boy-
hood, which we derived from an authentic source,
affordi a characteristic illustration of that sympathy
which the old and pious Jews manifested for this
great agitator up to the last hour of his dictatorship.
Whilst patriotism animated the younger branches,
while considerate calculation stimulated middle-aged
men, cabalistic interpretation actuated the hoary and

the aged.
Kossuth's father was an attorney, and resided in a
northern department of Hungary, chiefly inhabited
by Jewish emigrants from Poland, who have settled
there. Among these settlers there, is a sect called
Chassidim (the pious), who are known by their long
gowns, fur caps, and curly locks, their appearance
being altogether different from that of the native Jews.
Kossutle's father conducted a vexatious lawsuit against
the chief rabbi of Aphely. T'ne cause of it is not
known, but it lasted many years, and was carried on
with great obstinacy by both parties. In the course
of the process two sons of the attorney died, and
very shortly after the father also. Prejudice and
bigotry spread a report to the effect that this heavenly
visitation was in consequence of a curse by the
rabbi; and even the Catholics and C Ilvini,ts began
to dread the power of the Jewish ecclesiastic. The
sick and unfortunate of all religious persuasions
flecked to the rabbi's house, to be cured and assisted
by his wondrous spells. The rabbi enjoyed the
greatest respect and reverence ; he was a shrewd and
experienced man, and turned the ignorance of the
people to his advantage, as is not unfrequently done
by political and ecclesiastical leaders of other
creeds. The widow of the attorney, fearing that her
last boy, Louie Kossuth, would also fall a victim to
the curse of the rabbi, was induced by maternal love
to pay a visit to the bearded rabbi, and seek his
pardon for the offence given to him by her late hus-
band. The rabbi received the sad widow very gra-
ciously, and even favourably, which emboldened the
mother to request a blessing for her son. The shrewd
rabbi hesitated, gazed at the boy, and conversed with
him. Vivacity and high spirit then already distin-
guished the lad, and the respectful confidence with
which young Kossuth surveyed the rabbi and his
suit, had a favourable effect on the venerable eccle-
siastic. We omit to portray the state of mind of the
wise rabbi, the anxious mother, and the high-minded
lad at that moment ; we leave this to a more poetical
pen than ours. We will but state the fact, that the
rabbi laid his hands on the head of the child, and
blessed him. This was considered so great an event
in the country, that the family of Kossuth carefully
noted down the psalm quoted by the rabbi, which was
the 60th, and the passage, verse 4—" Natatla liraecha
nes lehisnoses mipne Koshet.—Selah."—(Thou bast
given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be
The rabbi
displayed because of the truth.—Selah.)
selected this verse on account of the word "Koshet"
(truth), such as the name "Kossuth" is pronounced
by the Hungarians. The rabbi then impressed on
Koasuth's youthful mind not to entertain hostile
feelings towards the poor Jews ; this injuncion was
obeyed, and even at school Louis Kossuth distin-
guished himself by tolerance. These little traits,
connected with the boy's growing up a bright and
vigorous man, gave the rabbi a great name and
authority.
When Kossuth commenced his political career, he
expresesd himself at once liberally towards the Jews,
who understood how to kerp Kossuth's attachment
alive, by continually chaunting the renowned verse in
the synagogues, and on ail solemn occasions. Kossuth
soon promised the Jews the boon of emancipation.
He loved the Jews, and they loved him. They shed
their best blood in the struggle for Hungary's inde-
pendence ; they rendered him many services ; and
even his private secretary was a Jew. The emanci-
pateon of the Jaws in Hungary was proclaimed at
Szeg Min just before the Russian invasion. The Aus-
trian Government saw the necessity of soothing the
fermenting element. Stadicn, who had an opportu-
nity, during his residence in Poland, to study the
Jewish character, recognized the danger of driving
the Jews (a body of people full of mind and courage),
back into their Ghetto. It was known at Vienna that
Pillersdort's fall was owing to the non execution of
the principle of religious liberty embodied in his con-
stitution. The Cabinet of Schwarteenbergibave acted
more wisely, and have carried out the principle to
its fullest extent. But the attachment of the Jews
to Louis Kossuth remains unabated. The enlight-
ened adore him for his capacious mind, whilst the
orthodox revere him on account of the blessing of the
rabbi.
