SABBATH HAG0DOL.
(C0ntinued.)

We will leave Reb Mendel and his
Congregation to their amazement and
return to our own Schulz, where, as the
readers will kindly remember, we left
the taZan in the act of calling to the
Torah the first man on the list of the
Baal S'gan.
Thasriah, the Sidrah of the day con-
tains a number Of chapters Of little in
tereSt, but inasmuch as it was read by
the Hazan IN Il manner most agreeable
to the ear OF the audience, by the closest
adherence to the 'Tropp" mclody), the
offences Of the text against the 9sthe-
tics were willingly excused and such
members as were fortunate enough to
be called to the Torah fully realized its
blessing. At the close Of every Par
shah the Hazu made one Nj Sheberach
to the respective beneficiary in accord
ance with the ritual and as many more
as the latter directed for the benefit Of
all persons by him designated. For
these additional Mi Shcberach the Ha-
zan received a fee from the beneficiary,
who also remembered the congregation
or some charity by the promise Of IA
stated donation (Shenoder).
The reading Of the Sidrah was con-
cluded and now Maftir was publicly
sold to the highest bidder. Maftir has
the Mitzvah Of being called to the read,
ing of a portion Of the last Parshah Of
the day and Of chanting the Hattarah,
i. e. a chapter from the Prophets, desig-
mated by the ritual as corresponding
with some portion Of the Sidrah.--

acter and position Of Mr.. Ball. He
therefore, on the very day his child was
saved, sent his equipage with an invita-
ton to my uncle who saw no reason for
declining to make an acquaintance of
which SO many would have been proud.
The acquaintance, however, took an
unexpected turn. The shrewd upstart,
soon perceived that the deliverer Of his
daughter was such a man as it would be
an honor to have as a son-in-law. Par
ents and daughter began to lay traps for
the young man. Who would resist an
offer at once so fiattering and promising?
On consulting my parents my uncle re-
celved favorable answer. In short,
the engagement was celebrated and, ere
the moon changed twice, my uncle was a
hus band, growing richer by fifty thous-
and forms and vast elegant mansion,
but losing all hope Of ever becoming
happy. He was subsequently raised to
the distinction or a professor at the
university, and endeavored to derive
some consolation from his prominent
activity.
Such | found him, who did his best to
let me enjoy all the advantages his in
fuence could bring. Presented to the
rector Of this university, [ was matricu-
lated in the students register and com

national and international journals and

On my way to Munich [ saw neither
high mountains, nor large rivers, nor
anything striking. Inconsiderable hills
and wales covered with all sorts Of
farming produce testified the unliyalled
industry of their peasant proprietors.
Here man was seen to enjoy all the
comforts calm industrious peasant
life affords. 1t was impossible to i'm
agine individuals living in a state Of
greater independence and plenty than
these beings who seemed to ignore all
those troubles that pale the faces Of
men inhabiting large towns. Here and
there, the eye was agreeably relieved by
the emerging Of village partly hidden
by carefully cultivated gardens.
1t was, however, only in passing that
[ could gaze at this multitude Of coun
trylike things. Our horses were chang
ed every two hours from early in the
morning till late in the evening. The
station where | stopped to pass the Sc
cOnd night of my journey, was an eXtcn-
sive mansion Of good appearance. The
windows OF my chamber opened to the
front, so that [ could see every coming
and parting chaise. Being ycry fatigu-
ed, on my arrival, [ hastened to sup

thought through all the events Of my

however, interrupted by a conversation
carried on in the adjoining room.
[ was greatly surprised to hear two
voices familiar to my ears from some
past occasion. From the conversation,
| could infer that it was husband who
was speaking to his wife about the
education Of their little daughter Did

The Maftir chantcd the closing bene
dictions and the congregation followed
by loud and forcible recitation of Ic-
hUm Purh0n; the Hazan then intoned
a Nj Sheberach for the congregation
and offered prayer for the welfare of
king and fatherland as prescribed by the
ritual. Now the curtains at the Wei
berschule were drawn aside and all at
tendants, ladies and gentlemen, young
and old arose, while the IIazan, folio we'd
by the Baal Sgan, and singing Tehallu-
ld, in solemn and slow procession re-
turned to the Oron Hakodosh, wherein
he deposited the Sepher Torah. When
the portals of the Oran were closed, the
congregation chanted Uwnuchoh Yomcr
and the morning Services closed with
Kadish on part of the Hazan
Mussaph began with the recitation of
Shmonah E'srah and closed after the
chanting of En- Kolohenu, A1cnu and a
number OF psalms and hymns, with one
or more Kadeshim.
We returned to our home. which we
entered with hearty Good Shabboth -.
Father and mother blessed us children
in the usual rotation; Kidush preceded
the breakfast OF our parents and our
luncheon and after short stay in the
house followed my father to the meet

the residence Of the Parnass on every
Sabbath at the same time for the pur-
pose Of instruction by means of Shiur

some other qualified person
We arrived quite early; in a short
time however, the room was filled to its
utmost capacity and every chair as we'll
