There are excellent accounts of the situation Of
the Jews in Germany, of an old.fashloned Rabbn-
cal education and of the influence exertedby Men
dessohn on the culture and growth OF his nation !;
for there is now culture and growth among them
The sirdle which so tightly reprcssed the vital ener
ges Of the nation is broken, and the form and pro-
portions of the Jewish man are expanding and ar-
proximating TO the modern European Standard
Nay, more! the Jew who is thoroughly emancl-
pated nclines TO Join or even 10 head the extreme
radical party which il is to be wished may earn the
name, so readily arogated by each nnovator, OF
Reform party. A movement party is, to be sure,
necessarily Reform party, but has no right to as
sume so noble name, unless ts leaders at least,
if not the party in general, intelligent or pro-
phetc of the principles which must animate the
next development Of organic life.
On this subject we will add a translation of some
pages fron 'Markgtaff's Deu,schland's Jungse Lit
eratur, and Cultur Epoche'-Latest Epoch5 of the
Literature and Culture of Germany-which we
shall translate in.o these columns al another time.
Markgrafi has been giving sketches of these cee-
brated personages, Rahel, the intellectual Queen
of Berlin. well described by Carlyle in one Of the
Foreign Reviews some Eve or SIX years since,
Borne. and Heinrich lIeine He then goes on TO
say" II may well be remarked that Rahel, Borne,
Heine who have had SO great an influence on the
present state Of literature, are no, OF Christian
birth
Menzel is right so far as this, that the Jewish
elements have pervaded our literature TO greater
extent than is in their present state desirable The
Jeush, uniting with the Christian skeptlclsrr, acts
with great power. Some say a revenge is hereby
taken Ike that of Shyloc, revenge for prosecutions
endured by the Jews in the Middle Ages, (but
which, il should be remembered, were endured no
less by heretics among the Christians, such as the
Albigenses,) revenge Tor the injuries when are
done them even now, and for the hard heartedness
of Christians, which appoints them their place In
the most forlorn corner of humanity But such an
excuse only makes bad fact worse. The honor
able mind desires, demands only IFS nsht-noi ils
revenge. Let the Jews demanl 1helr rights; those
will no, finally be denied them n Germany; but
the practice of their revenge can only be preJudl-
cial TO their rights destroy the true point OF view,
and confuse all minds, while this subject OF eman-
cipaton demands for lis adjustment perfectly
clear understanding between jew and Christian.
Emancipation problems play in this age, whose
tendency is to reconcile oppostes, part OF grea,

'But Judaism has undergone the sans division
among the cultivated Jews, as Chrlstendom among
the cultivated Christians. And 1t Is vel! when they

We are on a par as TO the disadvantages the time
we also have our young men that sympathlze with
those among them who have taken from under the
feet all religious ground work, and who wear the
pale pink ribbons of Bel Esprit with the naked
