THE bath COL"

THE DAUGHTER OF THE VOICE LlrTu
Nor.-How THE RABBI PROVED THIS.
Every one has heard OF the " Bath Col "
the daughter of the Voice, an sncien.
Jewish mode Of investigating futurity.
The seeker goes out of his house, and the
first word he hears, even If ii is uttered by
child, he receives rs the prophetic reply
to the subject Of his thoughts. How the
meaning Of words have been strained and
twisted, to tit into the groove of Fate
how men have wrested them 10 interpret
their wishes and ambitions to justify their
crimes or soothe their consciences, be
longs not alone TO the history of the
Bath Col, but to the greater history of
human superstition
We laugh, of course, at the story of the
Rabbis Ben Samuel, and Isaac, who, deeply
sollcitous for the recovery Of the worthy
Rabbi Solomon, when he lay i'll at Damas-
Gus, walked out of their houses in Jerusa-
lem in pursuit Of the Bath Col which
was TO assure them Of his fate. One man
who stood near the door said to another
pursuing previous conversation, "and
60 this was the cruel and un,imely end of
such life.
My brother. my brother cried the
Rabbis, tearing their garments, Solomon,
the good and upright, art thou indeed
gone from Us z" But even az they spoke
Solomon himself stood before them, some
what emacistcd but still in the flesh
Thou art not dead, they cried, "but,
then, when was the bath col Il living
voice? Hast thou had any great mis-
None, he answered on the contra
ry congratulate me- for have taken unto
my bosom fair wife.
Ben Samuel was n crusty old bachelor
we conclude, for at this he uttered cry
Of triumph. Did | not say the bath
col lied not. Yea, let US tear our gar
men,s, and heap ashes on our heads, for
this our brother has come to an end as
cruel and untimely as the grave itself
