A TRADITION OF THE RARnIs.

The celebrated teacher, Rabbi Meir.
sat during the whole Of one Sabbath day
IN the public school, instruciing the peo.
pie. During his absence from The bouse
his two sons died, both of them of IN
common beauty, and enlightened ia the
law. His wife bore them 10 her bed

bed, and spread white covering over
their bodies. In the evening the Rabbi
Meir came home
She reached him a goblet He prais-
ed the Lord at The going out of the Sab
bath, drank, and asked;

that they, 100, may drink of the cup of

They will not be far off, she said. and
placed food before him, that he might eat.
He was in a gladstone and genial
mood and when he had said grace after
the meal. she thus addressed him:
RABBI, with thy permission, would
fain propose to thee one question:
"Ask IT, then, my love /" be replied.
"A few days ago, person intrusted

it necessary 10 ask. What would'st

NO. she replied; but vet thought
il best not to restore them without ac-
quainting thee herewith"
She then led him 10 the chamber, and,
stepping TO the bed, took The white cover
