Servsce w2s about To begin IN the syn
agogae, ana we we're alioxed to cutter;
but a. il vas holy day, no fees were
pcrmitted-a limitation of our rights ~
travellers, which We bore with the serene
patience which the occasion demanded,
and inwsrdly reflected that there we're
some Jewish customs that Christians
would do we'll to initiate.
We descended from the carriage; turned
the corner to u low doorway in the side
of the building, and CROPPED our way in
the darkness down some steep stone stairs
into what seemed black hole leading
into the bowels Of the earth. We, entered
a small room, blackened and begrimed
with the dust and smoke and dirt Of CEN
turtles, with cobwebs streaming from the
pillars, and a general impression of filth
ness about the place. So sacred is this
church considered by the Jews, that it
would be deemed in the highest degree
saorilegious for the hand of improvement
to lit finger against the accumulations
of dirt handed down from past genera
tons. The building is said to be thou
sand years old, the lower part of it at
least, which is in the byzantine style,
and was discovered buried in hill, the
ark of the covenant of stone, and the five
books of the law, written ON parchment,
found in it, bearing witness that 1t had
once been jewish temple. This was
built upon in the old Gothic style, and
now stands the only Gothic synagogue in
Europe.
Men entered in shert white robes, and
without removing their hats sat down
before little desks, took out their curious
looking prayer-books with their strange
Hebrew characters, and the service began.
Beginning with cry OF "Hallelujah!"
read the prayers in curious wall, some
times rising to a howl, then changing
into a prolonged drawl, and again chop
ping off his words in sort of staccato.
Tue men composing the audience sat at
their desks, or stood about in little
groups, like these into which men collect
at a caucus or tOwn-meeting, each saying
his prayers in his own way. without re-
gard ut all to the reader or to unity of
effect, breaking out suddenly into shrill
amens, and then drifting again into
steady monotone, broken occasionally by
walls or groans. This discOrdant chorus
in the gloomy old building half under
ground, the faint daylight creeping

and mingling with the dim light Of the
swinging lamps, had strange effect, and
made up the most extraordinary religious
service ever attended.
The Jews of Prague have singular
malediction which they hurl at their enc.
mics: "May your head be as thick as the
walls of the Hradschin, your body grow As
big As the city of Prague; may your
limbs wither away u the size of birds
claws, and may you flee around the world
for thousand years. W. Davis,
