The Japanese Idea OF Hell.
New York Tribune.1

al IL =. 49,
One Of the curious articles exhibi,
ted az TifIany's Isl scarfof gray Can't
on Grape, which portrays the internal
regions, according to the Japanese
idea. The scarf isnine yards long,
and a halfyardwide. The firstscene
represents Satan on earth seeking
new victims. The arch fiend APP
pears as a sulphuric, yellowishgree
demon, with protruding horns, Glow
en- feet, and acknowledgements
Turing his victims into his net, and
plunging them into fiery depths
They appearto fall into a nest of
burning scorpions, where they are
tantalized by a glimpse of their
friends enjoying themselves in a lake
of cool water. In the next scene sa-
tan takes the form Of an immense
dragon, with his human victims
crouching in terror at his feet. They
are mercilessly dragged into court,
and the judge is represented as con-
demning them to be tied to rocks,
and to have red.hot lead poured down
their threats. They are then chased
by hyenas through field of open
knives and other sharp instruments.
The victims are next portrayed as
being tortured by having their limbs
sawn off and by being thrown into a
revolving wheel of fire. Satan next
appears to be looking out for new
victims on q field Of battle. Some of
these victims are made to hug red
hot stove,pipes, while Satan himself,
with smile, is STAINING them. 9th
ers are swimming in seas of blood,
surrounded by laughing demons
Others, still, are seated in cauldron
of red hot sulphur, having their
tongues pulled out. Some are repre-
scented as carrying heavy burdens of
coal and throwing it into the fire to
burn new victims. His satanic
majesty is next represented as feed
ing his subject on rice, presumably
to give them strength with which to
endure greater torture.

"Jef," the sprightly correspondent
of the Detroit Free Press, tells the
following story: Talkingof bankers
recalls the adventure which bank
president from a country town lately
met with in journeying over the Bos-
ton and Providence Railroad. He
was pulling a cigar in the smoking
car and Illuminating upon dividends
and discounts, oblivious of higher
thoughts, when a burly individual,
who had just entered and taken a
seat in front of him, turned around
and remarked:
"Sir, your cigar annoyS me-"
"Sorry for that, replied the bank
er, emitting a graceful cloud.

unknown one,

amused, and the stranger to be ex-
cited.

idea that they were reserved for

faction. He was naturalized as a French
citizen in the year 1862. The cruel war
of 1870171, with it's great dangers and
excitements, and the labors which it in
volved upon the charitable institutions,
began to tell upon him-his days were
counted He had lost the taste for
work; neglected his beautiful library, and
evinced signs of lassitude withal. In the
spring of 1876 his health became so en-
feebled that he was compelled to give
up his functions as professor at the
Seminary. But he held to his functions
in the other Jewish organizations and
went regularly to the meetings Of the
same. On Thursday, March 18th, 1877,
he succumbed to the sickness which had
been gnawing him for the last six years.
Albert Cohn will live in the hearts of
his contemporaries and his name will be
remembered among the greatest bene-
factors of Judaism and humanity.

No. III.

About two years ago, very warm and
enthusiastic agitation for literary socie-
ties commenced to stir up the young
men of the North Side, and they at once
organized a Society under the name Of
Y. NJ. H. A. The success and prosperity
which they enjoyed in the first days of
their existence, prompted some young
people of the West Side to do likewise,
and the Zion Lit. became an established
fact, and short time afterward the Sinai
and Progress, on the South Side, were
organized, and they were followed by the
members of the Standard Club, who in
stituted at their establishment the alma
mater of fashion, an extraordinary
chair of literature and debate, and
called the same Literary Society,"
For about year these Literaries were
all the rage with the young folks, they
became the absorbing topic of the day.
The young men forgot to pay their tai
lors bills and the young ladies never felt
their toothaches, and all took to study
ing Kozebue and Shakespeare, Poe's Ra-
ven and Mcauley's Essays, preparing
recitations and declamations for public
demonstrations. The fervor became

relaxed, subsidized, and at last passed away
like a cloud the young people com
menced to lose interest in the Societies,
and they are now dropping off one by

For the JEWISH ADVANCE.
ALBERT COHN.
(C0nczuded.)
XVI.

There are few examples of such an ac-
tive and useful life as that Of Albert
Cohn. He has visited four times the
Jews Of the East and three he times th9se
sofs+Africa. These voyages which were
of importance enough to raise the life Of
another person above the ordinary aver
age, were only small episodes in the life
of Albert Cohn, who was constantly at
work, day and night
In the morning, letters from all parts
of the world were accumulated on his
table. These were demands either for
help or advice, in all possible languages
The first work Of the day was to write
answers to all these letters. In most
cases he forwarded his help to mendicant
applications forthwith in cases of i'm
portance, he promised to interfere in be-
half of the supplicant at the Rothschilds.
Having finished his correspondence, he
regulated the books and the accounts Of
the various societies of which he was
functionary or treasurer !; forwarded Or
ders to the hospital or other charitable
institutions of Jerusalem of which he
was the director. He then gave his Or
ders to the COMMITTEE of Benevolence"
of Paris, and went into the reception
room to accept the numerous visitors
coming to see him every day. The af-
ternoon was spent in visiting the hospi-
tai, the schools, the soup-kitchen; in as
.sisting in the ceremonies of poor we'd
,dings, funerals, and in soliciting aid in
behalf of the charitable objects he had
on hand. The evenings again he had to
attend the meetings of the various socie-
ties. His punctuality in taking his place
wherever he was wanted, was one of his
great virtues.
Albert Cohn was endowed by nature
with remarkable qualities. Physically
somewhat disfgured, like Moses Men
delssohn, he was intellectually amply
COMPENSATED for this. He had a fine
face his features strongly marked; a
perfectly Oriental and manly expression

A GLIMPSE OF NATURE.

Thank God for the silver moon i'll heaven,
And for her track of light
Athwart the oceans darken'd breast,
And athwart the hush of night;
Thank God for the holy sunrise calms.
For the scarlet sunsets glow,
For each tender tint
That doth glance and CLINT
On the answering sea below.
Thank God for the towers Of purple cloud,
AS they arch morn's ruby light.
For that fOre-glOw, and ewes after-glOw
That wanes into the night.
These lift our hearts above the earth,
Heavens gates ajar we see.
And if such the palace door
Oh, ye that are gone before"
What must the Presence be!

and eyes of bri liant lustre. When he
spoke, his features became very animat-
ed, and his voice was sympathetic and
deep. He could speak fuently and cor
rectly in several languages. He had
some traits of great orator a brilliant
and vivid imagination an excellent
memory elevated sentiments and q
keen sense of the good. The rapid flow
Of ideas and sentiments, while he deliv-
cred discourse, appeared like the erup
tion of a volcano. His speeches never
failed to carry away the hearts of his
hearers in the direction he desired, anC
to leave deep impression.
Albert Cohn was often apt to yielc
himself to illusions. But he had great
mental capacities. His intelligence was
sharp and inventive; his princi pies were
wise and Of great moderation In gen
eral he never despaired either of men OF
of things. His optimism was so great
that he always became pale and fright
ened when he heard an evil report about
a person. or that the success Of the or
CARNATIONS with which he was connected
was not as good as it had been expected
He~sincerelyab believed d&i,ksthe. success~oi
every good cause, and cheerfully threw
himself at the head of every good move
ment, confding in the help of Provi-
dence and in the assistance of those
whom he called 8 his friends Of his
charitable disposition, we will only say
that in the administration of the insti-
tutions with which he was connected
there was not single functionary who
had not to thank him for an act of kind
ness and benevolence. He spent the
tenth part of his income in charitable
purposes, as an act Of religious duty,
and what he distributed beside this
suffice it to say, that in his enviable po-
sition in pecuniary affairs, he left but a
mediocre fortune after him.
His best quality was probably his
strong impulse of activity, by which he
conquered many an obstacle, and became
powerful motor of all the religious and
benevolent organizations. He could not
become the special leader of any affair,
for he lacked the wisdom of reserving
and managing his resources. In his great
ardor he would soon exhaust all his force:
he would sacrifice everything at the first
opportunity, without rejecting on what
was to come next Whithersoever he
came he brought life and courage with
him. He was the founder of all the
Jewish institutions of Paris, and many
establishments of charity and industry
of Jerusalem.
Albert Cohn was compensated for all
his works of devotion to Judaism with
an enviable popularity his name is one
of the most favorably known all over the
world. On July 10th, 1867, the French
Government has recognized his services
in the cause of humanity, and bestowed
upon him the order of Chevalier de la
Legion d'Honeur; y which mark of dis
tinction he always bore with great salts

Rev. NJ. w. Reed on Burns.

large and apprecia tive audience assem-
bled at the Congregat ional Church, Tuesday
evening, TO hear the opening lecture in the
Young Mems Lyceum course, delivered By
Rev. Myron W. Reed, on the subject OF
Robert Burns, the Scottish Poet. In his
own inimtable style, the speaker took bis
auditors over with him on his journeyings
across the Atlantic last summer, lingering
long and frequently amid the scenes and in
cidents connected with the life of Scotand's
peasant bard whom Scotchmen and the
world generally delight so much to honor.
A fire tribute was paid to the genius and
humanity of Burns, as indicated all through
his writing. Scotland never made better
investment than in her Poet Burns, for the
main object in view, of nearly all visitors
to Scotland is to see his birthplace, tread
where b e trod, and revel IN the beauties of
scenes made famous by his poetry. But,
Notwithstanding all this, Burns was unep-
preclated in his time and he is an lllustrious
example of how some men live and grow IN
the estimation of the world after they
smolder into dust. We believe we may
safely assume that Mr.. Reed never pleased
Watertown audience better, and he has
ectured here frequently, than he did with
his lecture Tuesday event ng. and be once
more leaves the impression of a wish to hear
him again.
