represented was our son Elchanan, sit
ting on golden throne, with three
fold crown on his head, and princes and
rulers kissing his feet with humility.
The Peh was then transformed into
mouth that smiled at me very pleasant
ly =; but [ became frightened as noticed
great golden cross upon the breast of
my son. 1 commenced to cry bitterly
and called him Elchanan, Elchanan 7
When he heard my voice, he descended
from his throne, flung away the large
cross and clung to my breast, sobbing
loudly and calling me his dear father.
We were then surrounded by all the let
ters and carried back to Mayence. Here
we found throne with seventy steps,
and great multitude looking at it with
fright for on each step there were
placed roaring lions and eagles, that
futtered violently with their wings, just
as King Solomon's throne is described
by our sages. Elchanan then cheered
the Mortified multitude and ascended
that throne courageously, while the roar
ing lions licked his feet, and the eagles
prostrated themselves before him. No
sooner had he ascended the throne, when
[ saw magnificent crown, woven from
the rays Of the sun, on his head, and
angels flying around him bright halo
encircling him and all of us, and loud
voice called: Thus is honored the man
who honored the King of Kings [ was
overwhelmed with joy and delight my
eyes could not stand the glaring light
that surrounded our son, and the voice
continued calling till I awoke. There
is not dream without nonsense'-our
sages said but | tell you, my dear, that
this dream had great significance.
Whatever all the apparitions may signi-
fNof one thing + feel certain, that our
achild will live, and that he IS destined
for great glory"
The will Of God be done r said the
pious mother and bent over her child,
who was breathing gently, and who had
sank into quiet slumber.
Rabbi Nathan, the physician, was sit
ting at the bedside on the next morning,
watching the child, who was still asleep.
When he awoke calmly and asked for
his father, he said
Blessed be He, who cures the sick.
The crisis is happily over, your child is
saved by the help of God Rabbi"

such a happiness !"
The poor girl commenced sobbing so
loud, that the sick child aFoke and be-
gan to rage in delirium. hvain did the
girl endeavor by various means to calm
him. The more she tried Ito soothe him
and call him endearing names, the more
violent did he become; until Rabbi Sim
con heard the noise in Ills study, and
came into the sick-roomI No sooner
had the unfortunate fathef entered the
room, than the boy exclaimed: "El

the rest of the night. OnIthe following
morning the physician fouhd him much
better than on the day before, and en-
couraged the sorrow stricken parents to
hope for good termination of the sick
ness.

The Jews in India.

The beautiful statue of the Prince of
Wales presented to the citizens of Bonn
bay by Sir Albert Sassoon was on the
26th Of June unveiled by his excellency
Sir Richard Temple, in presence of
great concourse of Europeans and ma
tives, drawn together in spite of heavy
rain to do honor to the occasion. 1t is
the first equestrian statue which has
been erected in western India. In his
speech at the ceremony, Sir R. Temple
said:
" Let me draw for your considera-

of our native friends present, just one
moral which is to be deduced from the

THE RABBITS DREAM.

1t was Sunday morning. A pious
multitude poured forth from the Lieb-
frauen" " church. Only al few devout
souls remained inside the sacred walls
to allay their sorrows BY confession.
Margaret was among the latter. Her
confessor was Father Thomas before
whom she confessed her sinful attach
ment to her nursling and how she felt
sorry for his poor little SOIL which was
destined for hell, since thechild was of
Jewish extraction. It must have been
a wonderful balm which thepious Father
offered to the heart of theS yout girl,
for when she left the ssnfe ional there
was none Of her careworn. looks about
her: she was bright and cheerful.
Elchanan was still suspended between
life and death. The ninth day of his
sickness came, and that night found his
mother anxiously watching at his bed

deavoring to pursue the Research on
certain subject which occupied his mind;
but his exhausted frame8 claimed it's

reclining on his book. Agenial smile
played on his features, while he was
sunk in evidently pleaAnt dreams.
When he awoke, he closedAis book and
went into the sick-room, with cheerful
smile on his countenance.
BELLA" said he, addressing his wife,
''o our child will not die !" /
She looked at him with Surprise; but
he sat down by her side, aid continued:
Listen, my dear, what a wonderful
dream [ have had, I am ertain that it
had bearing on the futu4 of our child,
and although cannot make out the
meaning of the whole drelm, I feel as
though it's main purpord is that our
child will not die. FatIgued, I fell

feet. The Beth was transformed into
magnificent house, a palae, the like of

SUGGESTIONS FOR A SICK ROOM.

In preparing a meal fer any one whose
appetite is delicate, it should be made to
look As tempting as possible. The tray
should be covered with the whitest napkin,
and the silver, glass and china should shine
with cleanliness. There should not be too
great q variety Of viands. and but a very
small portion of each one. Nothing mora
quickly disgusts feeble appetite than a
quantity OF food presented ut one time.
The patient never should be consulted
beforehand as to what he will eat or what
he will drink If he asks for anything,
give it to him, with the doctors permission;
otherwise prepare something he is known to
like and offer it without previous comment.
One Of the chief Offices of a good nurse is to
think for her patient. His slightest want
should be anticipated and gratiiied before
he has had time to express it. Quick obser-
walton will enable her to detect the first
symptom of worry or excitement and to re-
move the cause. An invalid never should
be leased with the eXertion of making de-
cision Whether the room is too hot or too
cold; whether chicken broth, beef tea, or
cruel is best for his luncheon, and all SINH
lar matters are questions which should be
decided without appealing to him.
Household troubles should be kept as far
us possible from the sick room. Squabbles
of children or servants never should find an
echo there.
In the event Of some calamity occurring,
of which it is absolutely necessary that the
sufferer should be informed, the i'll news
should be broken as gently as possible, and
avery soothing device employed to help him
to bear the shock.
Above ALL an invalid, or even a person
apparently convalescent, should be saved
from his friends. Ono garrulous acquaint-
ance admitted for half an hour, will undo
the good done by week Of tender nursing
Whoever is the responsible person in charge
should know how much her patient can
bear, she should keep n careful watch on
visitors Of whose discretion she is not GER
tain, and the mement she perceives it to be
necessary, politely but firmly dismiss them.
She must carry out implicitly the doctor $
directions, particularly those regarding
medicine and diet. Strict obedience to his
orders, faithful, dilisent, painstakins, fol-
lowing of his instructions will insure to the
sufferer the bcst results from his skill, and
bring order, method and regularity INTO
domestic Neutrality-suspicious..

PAYS TO BE A GOOD LAWYER.

We do not know whether it pays to-bc a
poor lawyer, but we know it does to he Il
good one. So great have been the fees of
some of the great guns of the profession have
now and then dropped upon, that they in
reality amounted to very large fortune.
Perhaps the late Vanderbilt case affords n
better illustration Of what we mean than
any which has ever turned up in this ceun-
try. Mr.. Scott Lord, who was one Of the
attorneys for the contestants, got $4,000
and that too without having won his case.
The judge, George +. ComStock, of SYRIA
cuse put in demand for $4,000, which
may be regarded rs pretty good pay for
listening perhaps three menths in all TO the
vrangling Of counsel and occasionally call
ing them to order Mr. Henry l.. Clinton,
however, seems to have seen his brethren in
thu law in their charges and gone geed
deal better. He asked the great railroad
king to hand him over S250,000 for his ser
vices. We understand that Mr.. Vanderbilt
thought Mr. Clinton little eStrava.ant in
his charges, and refused to settle on the
above basis. We think so, too, and it is net
likely that he will pay it in full. How much
Judge Black, who was also one Of the coun-
sci for the contestants, got, we have not
heard.
We beat the world in our lawyers fees, as
we do in nearly every thing else. The great
est lawyers of England and America fifty
ago never earned more than $4,000 per
year, and that sum in single fee was too
vast oven to be dreamed Of Now S20,0
and $50, 900 fees are plenty of mediums in
San Francisco. The moral of all the above,
hswover, is for springs of the law TO make
good lawyers Of themselves. In this way
they can earn one or two hundred thousand
dollars in a single suit, as Clinton and Sect
Lord have done, willie, if they remain in
fcrior ones, they must expect TO Scrape along
as so many do, now getting few shilling%
from one customer and perhaps IS from
another, until after fifteen or twenty years
their practice may amount TO something
like $3.50 or $500 per annum.
