MY WANTS.

/ want no wealth-the yellow gold
That chills the soul like Arctic cold.
That turns TO ice the warinest heart
And withers all its better part;
want no wealth;
Only enough to soothe distress,
To cool the brow Of wretchedness,
To bring glad smiles to eyes that weep,
And all my loved ones safely keep
This wealth l want and nothing more.
want no power-to sway my kind,
And blindly lead a world of blind.
To shift the scenes on lire's great stage.
And make my impress on the age;
want no power
But rather strength to lift the soul
Bound down in passions base control;
To aid it in its upward fight
To yon high realm of love and light
This power want, and nothing more.
want no fame-to have my name
Encircled by glarish fame;
That like the fires decetful ray.

But this want-a friend that's true,
Who will my virtues kindly view.
And all my faults as kindly scan,
Nor count me more or less than man;
And even more;

When days are dark. and drear, and cold;
An arm my faltering feet to stay
While here / tread life's weary way,
Such friend 1 want, and even more.

As deep as the unbounded sea,
And broad as its immensely:

lFor the JEWISH ADVANCED
Jewish Women
Translated from M. Kayserling by MIRIAM

ITALIAN AUTHORESSES.


The Jews of Italy stood upon much
higher round on the ladder OF culture
than those of Germany. In the home
of Petrarch, Dante and Tasso. the uni
versal culture had visibly effected the
masses and, consequently, the Jews.
During the middle ages the Jews of
italy. especially those of Venice, who,
next to the congregation Of Rome, form
ed the greatest one in the Iberian Pen
insula, spite of many political restric-
ton, lived in constant prosperity. They
also. it is true, had their ghetto, the
nleasant. convenient "Spina lungo"
which to the present day is called
s.Giudecco";; but they were not exclu-
ded from society, and had intercourse of
a business as we'll as literary character
with their Christian fellow citizens.
Men like Leon Modena, Simon Luzzatto,
Juda de Sommi and-others, were just as
familiar with the Latin and Italian Ian
guages as with the Hebrew, and their
Italian works were read and appreciated
by Christians as well as Jews. Not
alone art and science, but also song and
music were lovingly nurtured by them,
SO that the nobility regaled themselves
with the song of Jewish maidens, and
the Christians youth, from the greatest
nobility to the citizens, was wont to fre-
,ouent the Jewish singing-schools in the
A' Giudecca" until, in 1443, it was forbid
den to the Jews, on pain OF imprison-
ment and fine, to instruct Christians in
their singing and playing schools,-a
law which, later, was often renewed.
Fears were entertained that, for the sake
of art, youths and maidens might be led
to embrace Judaism
Here, too, there were Jewish women
who were as familiar with the poetry OF
their people as with that Of the nation
among which they lived, and who were
celebrated as gifted authoresses by the
sons of the muses. of Italy.
The first Jewess recorded as one who
nurtured poesy, is
GINSTINA LEVI-PEROTTI,
of Sassaferrato. She lived about the
middle of the fourteenth century. We
possess none of her writings save SON
net which was written to Petrarch and
which was responded to in the heartiest
manner by the great author.
Another authoress meets us in the
name Of
ROSA LEVI.
She lived in Venice in 1861, and was
nerhaps relative of that Abraham
Levi with whom Torquaro Tasso, on the
second of March, 1870, pawned, for a
trifing sum, the dagger he had inherited
from his father and several other ar
ticles. Of Rosa Levi, who afterward
turned her back upon Judaism, nothing
remains but small sonnet which is
written in honor of Luigi Grotto,
More consequential, however, than
either of these were Debora Ascarelli
and Sara Copia SULTAN.
DEBORA AsCARELLI,
native of Rome, lived in Venice as the
wife of an esteemed man, Giuseppi AS
carelli. Having mastered both the He
brew and the Italian language, she

that u temperature Of ono hundred
