Interesting Facts About fIae Jews


DIR. Pressed, in writing ofthe present con-
dition of the Jewish people, arranged them
into three classes, according to the countries
oyer which they are disbursed. The first
class. inhabiting the interior OF Africa. Ara
bia, India, and China, occupies the lowest
stage of Civilization. The Jews are semi
barbarous and ignorant of their own litera-
ture, history and religion. with Which they
often mix up various heather rites.
The second snd most numerous class is in
Northern Africa, Egypt, Palestine, Syria,
Persia, Asia Minor, European Turkey, Po-
land, Russia, land parts OF Austria. 1t en-
braces the bigoted strictly orthodox, and
Talmudical Jews, including the seat of
Chasdim, or "pious" (the representatives of
the ''Zealots" of Josephus.) to the number
of about 100000, and the Karaites, who re
ject all rabbinical traditions. The vast ma
jority of these Jews are extremely ignorant
on all but Jewish learning.
The third class is represented by the Jews
of Central and Western Europe and the
United States.
The following table gives a tolerably cor
rect idea of the present distribution of the
Jews;

Who has not noticed how quickly
an infant exchanges an old toy for a
new one A rattle-box for a spool
or whatever is not among its play
things. Something new, no matter
what, is its desire and delight. Chill.
dren and youth even have the same
fondness of novelty if not in the
same degree. This is natural and
beftting, for infancy is influenced
by instinct, not by motive, it feels,
not reasons; it seeks enjoyment, not
propriety; and childhood differs
from infancy largely in the develop
ment of the mind, in the use oil
reason, in thinking, in having regard
to the right, rather than the gratii
cation of self. An infant cares 70
none but itself, and lacks only power
to be very tyrant, more absolute
and less merciful than Nero, while
a child, though decidedly selfish
has some regard for the welfare OF
others.
One would suppose that adults
are controlled by reason, and that
they would not discard the gold Of
tried worth for the one of unassayed
novelty. Such is not the case.
What is new has our earlie2t and
best attention, our preference first,
last and all the time. Only one re
quisite must novelty have; it must
appear well, must give evidence ol
riches; for not "Charity," but wealth
"hideth a multitude of sins" The
translation is probably incorrect
1t might have agreed with the spirit.

A SUMMER DAY.

There's gaping rent in the curtain,
That longs for needle and thread,
There's garment that ought to be finished,
And book that wants to be read,
There's letters that ought to be answered,
There are clothes to fold away,
AM know these tasks are wanting,
And oIsht to be done to-day.
But how can mend the curtain,
w lie watching this silvery cloud;
And how can I finish the garment,
When the robin calls so loud
And the whispering trees are telling
Such stories above my head,
That I can but lie and listen,
And the book is all unread.
If try to write the letter,
am sure one half the words
VIII be in the curious language
OF my ohattsring friends, the birds.
The llacs bloom in the sunshine,
The roses nod and smile,
And the clothes that ought to be folded
And ironed must wait awhile.
lie in the chestnut shadows,
And gaze at the summer sky,
Bidding the cares and troubles
And trials OF life pass by.
The beautiful chestnut-blossoms
Are falling about my feet,
And the dreamy air is laden,
With their odors rare and sweet
The honey-bees hum in the clover,
The grasses rise and fall,
The robin stops and listens,
As he hears the brown thrush call
A2d the birds sing TO ne softly,
The butterfly fits away
OH what could be sweeter than living
This beautiful summer dayl
