For the JEWISH ADVANCE.
MIR AGES.
BY II. @.
(CONTINUED.)
BY II. G.

Aaron has suffered immensely, but he
bore his pains like a man. The hotel
Keeper who was not pleased at first to
have the invalid at his establishment
and who was more displeased when
rooms on the parlor floor were required
for that purpose, could not admire
enough the fortitude of the young man.
Il thought" " he said, that everyone
Of my guests would have to leave the
place for the groaning and crying Of the
sufferer, But not a sound was heard.
The young fellow is Of the right sort; he
has nerves. He allowed the doctors to
do with him whatever they pleased, and
there he lay like piece of wood. No
one would know that there was such an
invalid in the house, by his behavior,
As to the old man. he is a perfect gen
tleman; makes no trouble, and pays his
bills correctly"
As soon as Aaron was able to get up
and walk about, his father made arrange
ments that his younger son, Benjamin,
should come to Hectora and stay with
the invalid until he recovered entirely.
Benjamin, or the ''Yaler,' as his father
called him, was student Of Yale Col
lege. He was bright fellow of about
eighteen years, full Of yigor and yiyac-
ity. He liked his physical exercises as
we'll as his studies, and had gained hon
ors for scholarship as we'll as for rowing
and base-balling. He had more genius
than talent, and accordingly he was
better at compositions than at compu-
tations: literature and fine arts had more
of his sympathy than studies of a more
serious nature. He would sometimes ne
glect his studies for few weeks, for the
sake of books on travels with long de-
scriptions of scenery or on the fine arts,
or he would roam about mUsing and en-
toying all sorts Of frolic to his heart
content But by a sense Of duty and Of
honor he would afterwards close himself
up for time and apply himself to his
neglected studies until he caught
up with his class. by a peculiar
naiveness he would sometimes, quite
innocently, throw out remarks which hit
to the core and might be considered Of
The Jewish advance., 1878-12-27

fensive to the person to whom he ad-
dressed them. But the general amia-
bility of his character made him the IA
vorite of his teachers and colleagues.
Contrary to the liveliness of his DISPOSE
ton, there was a pathos in all his com
positions, and even in the speeches and
debates Of the students societies he was
most felicitous when a pathetical cord
was to be touched. The 'Yaler" arrived
at Hectoria in the month of April, and
Simon Amcre left the city two days la
ter He ''longed for his books, he said,
at parting from his sons.
You will find them in good ORDER
said the Yaler; the girl has busted
them, and has carefully piled up the
journals and the almanacs which have
come by mail.
The Jewish advance., 1878-12-27
I Y
HECTORIA AND IT'S INHABITANTS.

The city of Hectoria is beautiful in
the spring and in the summer time
simply beautiful and nothing more. In
fact it is beautiful all the year round, in
the sense which is here spoken Of with
the exception perhaps of two or three
months (and that not in succession)
when the rain falls and the red lime of
the streets becomes knee deep, and one
cannot 90 out to see the yerdure OF the
evergreens and the picturesque houses
with the tastefully laid out gardens of
Pitchtree and kindred streets. The
beauty Of Iectoria lies in the climate
and not in the position. There are no
imposing mountains, no murmUring rlvu
lets, no dreamy forests in the suburbs Of
Hectoria to give the city an advanta
geous position. The beauty of the streets
and dwellings, is more due to private
taste than to the public-spiritedness Of
the residents. While the houses are
picturesque, the gardens around them
tastefully laid out and carefully tended
to, there are no public buildings of any
consequence; the streets are utterly ne
elected, even the churches are built in
promiscuous sort of architecture making
no favorable impression. Those churches
appear so tiresome from the outside, so
uninviting to the eye and to the taste
for beauty, that at their very sight one
is impressed with the nature of cant
which is proclaimed and chanted in
them. Hold the fort, )" and Come to
Jesus, and THY will be done" seem to
be inscribed on the very walls And if
sometimes Il wish | we've an angel" or
Nearer, my God, to Thee" resounds
from within, hymns of certain poetical
flight, it makes the impression as though
the visions of heaven had been reduced
to the narrow confines of a dark prison
cell, or d fragment Of Jacobs ladder"
had fallen into Il swamp where it lies
rotting, and frogs leap about and on it,
and bubble the water with their monoto-
nous noise. The city of Hectoria and
its suburbs bear the character of the

ings of their mothers, and adhere to them
with the ardor and devotion of their ma
turc, as to things which they cannot un-
derstand. but which must be sacred be-
cause it was considered 50 in olden
times. 4 sense of the mysterious is
thus developed, and the soul of those
which are religiousiy inclined revels i'll
visions of heaven which imagination
may create The young men do what
they must and think no more about it.
The talmudical adage is we'll applied to
the religious traditions Of this kind.
lone sheep follows the other; as the
mother has done, so does the daughter.
There is beauty in such religion, but no
life.
The climate of Hectoria is delicious.
Although in a Southern latitude it is
never too warm there, because the city
is situated high above the level Of the
sea. 1t seems af though the climate had
adopted the conservatism of society-it
never gets out of a certain normal condi
ton. The same climate has, moreover,
something feminine in it's nature; it IS
Whimsical, nervous. Sometimes very
chill evenings occur in July and very
warm days in December. But there are
no extremes in those changes, they are
always true to a certain normality; they
keep faithfully within bounds,
But Hectoria is on the way of reform.
The hateful Yankee has come thither
with his enterprise. and has made the
city railroad centre, and is introducing
