 THE LAMENToF THE AFFLICTED-Yesu sunk- en gates ot Zion, be exalted and receive within the portals thereofyour elders and your wardens who trumpet-tongued, shall proclaim that the staff of bread IS broken and the stay of water IS wasted.
 Assemble, ye scribes, and publish the history of famne and pestilence, that it may swiftly he borne to the remotest communities of Israel ana become the written messenger of the dis tress of the ln-dwellers of Zion; that it may thereoy awaken nations sympathies: and if misery has dried up the sources of eloouence wherewith to sustain your appeal supplcate the Almighty that He in His mercy may in- cline the hearts of your bretheren of the house of Jacob to hasten to relieve the anguish of vour dropping spirits.
 Brethren of the house of Israel, who soourn Tn happy England or America; ve wardens of their synagogues and ministers in their courts: ye worshlpers, who rehearse the past glories ot your nationality and hope, in the fullness of time, for the effulgence of its future; ve child ren of mercy and of love, whose shield is the shield of the patriarchs; ye people peculiar to God sons of Judah and Benjamin, on you we call by the ties of religion and brotherhood, to arouse yourselves and save from annihilation the remnant of the faithful watchers of Zion and Jerusalem.
 ouHerlng-true source of feloquence-bet thine the pen to trace the scenes that haunt the streets and homesteads of Jerusalem, so that the tor per ot our brethren may beshaken off and their earnest sympathies awakened.
 We lack the power to give even faint idea of the misery we are enduring; every heart has become sick, every tongue stricken dumb; the words, What shall we say, what shall we dor" cling to the roof of our mouth from their oft repittion
 Behold, we are utterly prostrated-b in mnd and Tn body, incompetent to proclaim the severity of the visitation that is consuming us.
 we Know not whether the contemplation of the morrow Is not more fearful than the real- " o1 to-day and the retrospection of vester- day; whether to weep for present troubles or mourn the past sutferings. Starvation and pes tllence walk hand in hand, and the wall of the poor Widow and the orphan is borne on the air It Is difficult to say whose sufferngs are the greater, the miseries of those born under the sun of Judea, or of the holy pilgrims from dis tant lands. All classes of society," all grades and conditions, have become united in the brotherhood of woe-heads of synagogues and ther plous servitors, learned rabbis and their scholates mix Ill the crowd to supplicate and beg mouldy crust. Even that assistance which has hitherto reached us from our bretb ren in the Russian and Turkish dominions. is now, m consequence of the war; cut of.
 The dearth has raised the price of food to an enormous height, and its results are state of anarchy and confusion, in which every mans hand Is raised against his brother, and violence IS becoming rife in the land. For who can en- dure with accomplishing fortitude that terrible death, death by famine; and see day bv day the wife of his youth and the children of his love sink into the grave without an effort to re- lieve them.
 Brethren. if you could but witness the mi sery we are enduring, the widow running to and tro asking the refuse of food for her starv- ing orphans; and men profoundly learned in the law, formerly through their abundant cha rlty the stay of the community, now wander Ing up and downthe streets of Jerusalem. seek ing aims, ay, seeking bread your hearts would melt m compassion.
 Brethren believe that our tale is free from eXaggeratlon. We have not, we cannot fully impress you with the frightful reality of our condition. Our miserable circumstances can be corroborated by every dweller in, or pilgrim to, the Holy Land
 The misery we endure is augmented by the for q which we now suffer may be seized by our tra ducers as being most opportune for the deve- lopment of their plans and what may not en- sue when famlshed multitudes are tempted by the bribe of food? For already, dreadful to relate, the father traics for the sale of his child to the stranger, so that his offspring may be spared death from starvation. For be it known that the sutferings of our nation here, in all the frghtful horrors which at present exist. have never been surpassed
 To you, men of Israel, dwellers among all nations and in every cime we supplicate to hasten relief to furnishing multitudes. Let our cry reach all be sacred to all, receive attention from all
 You Prince of the Holy Land, great in Is- rael and noble among the nations; YOU. Sir Mo ses Montefore, be the beacon of our hopes. as i'll uayo ol olu. LeG your HanQ pc agaln SUD- ported by the pious Judith, and from your con- joint example may the men and women of the house of Israel be cheered and strengthened
 Brethren. remember we are the children of one God. The tree of our geneology spreads It's roots to the furthest east, and the uttermost west, and bears the fruit of brotherhood. By the love we bear to the God of Israel, by the associations of our common nationality, turn towards the land of the rising sun, towards Je- rusalem and Zion, and remember whence the law emanateth and the word goeth forth.
 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for they that love her shall prosper" More favored ones, your brethren turn to you to ask broth er;s aid, and may your respone bring peace to Israel and to Zion. Amen!
