ed at once for the talents and veroclty OF two
rival leaders, the above named Pichard and
Bosbeck. The latter, especially, was an IN O
carnate fend-and yet he loved and was Pc a
loved by the beautiful Rebecca Moses. The =
damsel, however, was too religious to Mar :
~ Nazarene; she made it a sine qua non :
that he should confirm to the ancient law; I
and, after many struggles between his devo-
ton to his God and his mistress, Bosbeck be-
came Jew, and took the name of Jehu.-
Rebecca nov became the fondest, the most
devoted, and for a time, the happiest of wives, s
| but Jehu at length wavered. His sufferngs ,
indeed were enough to turn any mans
temper sour. His first little accident after
his marriage was captivity OF nineteen
months, in subterranean dungeon, SO deep
and SO small that he could hardly breathe.
His feet were weighed down by the chains
till they were buried in the damp mud; and
the only change of position allowed him
was occasionally when he was taken out to
be put to the torture. He was steadfast,
nevertheless, in his refusal to confess, and
was at length set at liberty; when, in order
to stretch his limbs, and give his lungs play, |
he Immediately ran like a wild animal, ca
! pering for 10Y, and committed robbery in O.
: pen day. Taken second time, he was de-
, livered by the strange, deep, fearful, jemt-
ninc devotion of his wife, who gave her lib
y erty for his. When they met again, his
, thanks were delivered in stripes and curses.
On one occasion the neighburs with difficult
:. ty saved her life, and tore her from his fangs
II bleeding at the mouth and eyes-yet Rebec-
i ca loved on: Jehu at length was unfaithful.-
II Then rose the demon in her woman's heart

" turned,
l. And hell no fury like a woman scorned."

fairly laid by the authorities--who arc al
