| hers OF the House of Moses, Comprising the
"eongregation" in this city having lately
held an election for the various officers OF
tho congregation, and having for the third
| time elected Mr.. l.. Goodman President, that
gentleman in return for the honor thus con-
/ ferred, invited the whole congregation to
his residence on Church street, on Thursday
! evening last, to partake of sumptuous re
past which be in the most ptodigal manner
had spread for them.
| We happened to be the only Outsiders
who had seat at that board, and never in
our lives did we place our feet under mahog
any, with any set of men where there was
| so much of genuine good feeling. The first
and second courses having been served, the
table was cleared, aud q whole brigade OF
bottles took the place of the various dishes
which had been removed Toasts, senti-
| ments and speeches were now the order o.
the day, or rather night, and amid the clanS
of glasseses, cheers and resonant palms, the
, "wee sma" h,urs drew on apace Our
little pet, the Day Book having been toast
ed, we could not forbear, but up We jump
ed and unburden ed us of "bussum"
ull of talk in return, for which the ladies'.
| God bless them-senta shower Of bouquets
at our devoted head speeches were made
| by the President. by tn. vice Presidents
| Kayton-and seveal other gentlemen fol-
lowed by the following beautiful reparks,
which in response to call from the mem
bers present were delivered by Mr.. Danen-
| burg. e.
Gentlemen! With delight and pleasure
| see you here this evening assembled to par
1 take OF the hospitality which our host, Mr.
| L. Goodman, the reelected President has so
generously rendered to us. l say, look
down upon this assemblag- with pleasure
and delight Is there anything more charm
ing, more pleasing to behold citizens OF
| one place, members OF one society, 10 lve
! toge her in love, peace and harmony. Gen
tlemen I'VE all together form one family
/ Prai. ed and blessed bs He, who maintains
| that peace and harmony. The peace my
friends is heavenly gift,for which we daily
ask God in our pray er; but gentlemen, what
| do YOU think OF the man VINO attempts to
disturb that peace, to destroy that blessed
harmony call him demon, a maH who
does not deserve the Kane Of lsraelite,
he may carry our faith in his mouth, but his
heart is cold a. empty. But my friends
YOU might ask me, how could that harmony
i in our congregation as well as 10 any ether
| be preserved? The answer is plain and true.
None OF us dare claim or expect preference
as distinction from his fellow members,
and even if one or the other of US should by
chance or favored position make himself
IN ore useful TO the society, he should not let
it reach his fellow members by an pyerb- ar
ing naughty conduct. Whoever renders
service to our society he mustsd osit without
i expecting a reward; but at, the same time
the acknowledgement won't be withheld
| from him. But may confidentially say,
all who came here this evening came
with one heart, which is full of brotheriy
love,
Gentlemen AS I am speaking of this
happy evening, cannet let it pass to express.
to you my private opinion of it Some OF
you might take it issas mere repast, but
attach deep meaning, higher value to 1t.
Here where the pure juice of grapes runs
| freely; the heads gets hot, the pulses beats
| faster, heartsopens to heart, and the ties OF
love and friendship will be drawn closer to-
gether. So it has been an ancient habit
with our ancestors to conclude every cove
nant of friendship with coalition, when the
| wine was always part OF 1t.
acknowledge before this honorable assem-
! blage that Mr.. G. from the day he has enter
ed into his Office to the very present day, ne
has performed his duty without fear, faith
full and punctaal, land he has gained for US the
improv emeIt and reform of our congrega-
ton, and in the erection of our Synagogue
| of late, the gratitude and obligation OF ev-
| ery member of the congregation; propose
then, in his behalf, tie following toast: Mr..
Goodman, the President, may he live with
| his family for many years to come in health
| and happiness, and we all may live to see 1t,
and elect him as our President for years to
| come.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Danenburg's
remarks, be took his seat amid the plaudits
of the W hole company, and We, bethinking
us of tbs abors of our office, took leave OF
our generous entertainer, and the pleasant
company there assembled, and leaving them,
all in high glee, wendell our way homeward
| armed with an armful of boquets.
