'Now, said thr prince, Il would fn;.. Sc,
where my treasury is to lie, that, in cas-.
anything should happen to you and yeti
vile, might know where to seek it,
| That is precaution of only common
prudence, answered the Jew. you shall

from which it will not be removed until

The shutters were closed tn prevent all
prying eyes. Til. Jew and his wife re-
moved the china from one side Of the clos
etand the" carefully slipping aside ;'amel,
which had been SO beautifully fitted in
that no one ignorant of the secret could
have dec'ed il, the girile was lowered INTO

his thanks, shook hands with his new
friend, and was soon on the road, av,ng
from pursuit.
Months passed away into years, and the
Jew worked early and late. The beauti
fnl Sarah watched the cradle of her chill;
dren with mothers teuler affection.
Tier ambition for. her sons was mt that
they should become great, hut good me"
but she hoped they would become Il little

the poor n. brews themselves.
In this time Of alarm and confusion,
Sarah Rothsch:ld kept brave wnman:s
heart within her bosom. She did not
hlanch from sorrow, but grew more glori
ously beautiful than ever. A mother and
a wife, she lost sight Of herself in heroic
love for the dear objects Of her affections.
The house was ransacked and pilaged-
everything of value was taken by the law
less French soldiery, who scorufully re.
viled her husband for keeping such mag
n'hcent woman in so poor cage. The
persecution did not cease here. Every
lew who put his head oIt Of doors was re-
ln'red to take "F his hat to the Christians;
and il he omitted this act Of humiliation
ie was stoned and abuse,i. And the rrou.l
spirit of Sarah ohafel to see her husband

'ehel against the multitude, received in
'nIts and threa'snings from even the chill.
