any chasm between hoary age and bloom
ing childhood? They reach their hands
to each other, they embrace one another
and pour their souls one into the other,
so that they blend in one harmonious
resonance, in one faith, in one wonderful
myth In house where aged people
live you will find that the smallest chill
dren often know more than the grown
folks about their secrets and hidden
affairs 1t sometimes takes time and
trouble for the grown folks to find out
as much about the aged people in the
house as the smallest of the children
carries about lin his bosom as sacred
pledge of confidence.
Behold, ju# at this moment when the
old woman has planted into the heart of
her grandchild secret which she had
carried aboutwith her for seventy years,
germ which may at some future day
sprout like plant and bear its fruits
just at that mssment she shuddered when
she noticed her son, the father of the
boy, approaching the house.
He was strong, stalwart man, who
with his hands folded on his back slowly
came up that way. The boy was the
first to notice him. Look mere, grand
ma" he called. " father is coming" The
old woman, as though by magic touch,
stood up to look at her son coming up
toward the house.

While the old woman made these re-
fections in a half whisper, and with an
air Of dissatisfaction, the wreath of
flowers slipped from her lap and fell to
che ground The boy picked it up, but
instead Of restoring it to its former
place. he passed the beautiful gift of
God before his face, and inhaled the
fresh fragrance with ea2erness.
What are you doing, Fischele!" call
ed his grandmother, affrighted, trying to
rise from her seat, to take away the
flowers from him.
What am | doing, grandma 2" asked
the boy, astonished at the irritation of
the old woman.
You shall not smell the flowers, y
she screamed angryly. The peasant
culled them in the field on the holy Sab
bath day. What Jewish child will smell
such thing! Have you forgotten who
your father is, who your grandpa was,
and especially who your grand grandpa
was. whom YOU have not known at all =
Almost with CONSERVATION the boy
threw away The wreath which had the
misfortune of being wound on the holy
Sabbath day; far away in the street he
flung it, as though venomous reptile
were hidden in it; the wagon which next
passed that way ran over it and tramped
it in the mud The boy stood before his
grandmother with an air of humiliation,
his cheeks burning with the shame of
the sin he had committed.
My dear child" she said to him,
Strengthening herself little in the chair
and stroking with her tiny, faded hand
his rosy cheeks, my dear child, a hui
man being must accommodate himself
TO worse privation in life than that of
throwing away flowers which one is pro.
hibited to smell. What would'st thou
have that displeases God? 1t is thus
written in the Talmud whatever is
written therein is true. If you ask ali
the Rabbins in the world, will they tell
you any differently
A peculiar string of thoughts seemed
TO pass through the head of the old wo-
man. Looking at the boy who now sat
by her side quietly and in deep medita-
tion, ray from another world, as it
seemed, flashed through her brown eyes,
which had conserved their youthful
lustre. The boy also conceived tremor
as she began to speak again in a conf
dental manner, as though a secret buried
deeply in the recesses Of but two human
hearts were the subject.
Have you contemplated the picture
Of your grand grandfather" she began
which hangs inside there. over my bed?
Just as he was, he had written more
than ten books when hardly thirty wears
Of age. The living God alone knows
what was written in those books. I i'm.

night. He wore a thrce-comered CAP

richness of black curls. If you could

The boy drew nearer to his grand
mother, and his eyes were fixed on her

father had written when he was but
thirty years old?" the old woman asked.
The boy did not say yes, but his firmly
closed lips and deep eye spoke more
emphatically.
My mother" said the old woman,
who was his daughter, told me the
whole story. On the day preceding the
Day OF Atonement large fire was made
in the Synagogue yard. Every member
Of the community brought some wood
for that purpose. In that fire the ten
books were burned
Burned + yelled the child in horror.
Hush, hush !" the old woman said,
and loo ked around her suspieiously.
The story is MT finished yet. While
the books were burning in the yard your
grand d-grandfather was lying on the bare
ground inside the synagogue. By him
stood the bcadle with heavy strap, and
gave him forty blows on his bare back.
My mother, who was his daughter, told
me more yet. After all was finished,
the books burned and the lashes given
the people came and spat in his face"
"Spat in his face, grandma T. the hor-
rifed boy called out. Why, such
thing is not done to dog even T.

woman, how they could treat man

me already-only then she told me this
story. Only then, many thing which
| could not explain to myself in the de-
meanor of my grandfather while / had
been but child, became clear and ex-
plicable to me. Shall | tell you what it
was? Your grand grandfather was not
pious at all. "
" But has he not been spat upon like
dog!' interposed Fischele, Indignantly,
as plea in behalf of his dead ancestor.
" What has this to do with piety?" re-
Joined the old woman. Do you believe
that when say that he was not pious, |
mean that he did not fast on the Atone
ment Day, or that he ate with Chris
tians, or that he did not go to the Syna-
gogue, or that he scoffed at God and
man? You must not believe this; he
was very strict observer of religious
prescriptions One could not throw up
to him the least little offence of this
kind, as far as his being a Jew was con
cerned he was a match for any district
rabbi in the country. Once, however, |

little brother drank milk out of pot

the disturbance, began to laugh heartily

proach our time that it cannot show one
irreproachable character" 1t was also
very disagreabl. to him that his opposers
would not forget his jewish descent, re-
mindlng him Of it, as they did to Boerne,
on every occasion. In order to silence
his remorse he continued to work on the
romance Rabbi of Bacharach;" by that
he desired to manifest the adherence of
his heart to Judaism and in spite Of the
dissuations of his friend Moser who did
not overlook the glaring contradiction
between his views and his actions and
the anmosity which he will cause by
that, Heine desired to publish it. Still
he neglected it by and by and published
1t good deal later as fragment.
HEENE THOUGHTS ABOUT JEWS.
Helne was not the man to be constantly
tortured by rcmorse. As he once turn cd
his back to Judaism he endeavored to
make himself insensible to the act. His
indulging in lustful life after his bapt-
ism was not done for any other purpose
but to gain that end. He became an
absolute tault-fnder, endeavoring to dis
cover the dark sides of the Jews and
Judaism and so to find vindcation for
himself. From this state of mind his
hateful attacks on Judaism emenated.
t. /. that Judaism is not religion, but
Is misfortune. Later he tried to
narrow the chasm between Judaism and
christianity to a very narrow line, point
ing out both as being self-torturing,
monkish and nazarenish, defaming both
at the sau.e time and passing over both
20 the con,ession Of Hellenistic religion
',3f f1a 'rastofation II the fes3.'ss The
deeper be vas carried down in the Whirl-
pooi oi life the more judaism and Jews
disappeared from his horizon But, one
can almost say, in bright moments his
old love to Judaism revived and he again
showed his clear conception of the same.
So Heine was angry that Shakespeare
was counted among the Jew eaters be-
cause he had created Shylock, and he
summoned ali his brilliant oratorial
powers in order to remove this blot from
the Jews and from Shakespeare. Did
Shakespeare intend to depict .Jewess
in the character of Jessca? Certainly
not, he only pictures daughter Of Eve
one of those beautiful birds which when
they become fedged futter away from
the parents nest to the beloved male.
A hesitating bashfulness is especially
noticeable with Jessica which she is un-
able to conquer when she is about to
done the clothes of boy. Perhaps in
this instance one may recognize the ex-
traordinary chastness which is one fthe
qualities of her race and which grants to
the daughters Of the same such wonder
full charm. The chastety Of the Jews is
perhaps the result Of an opposition which
they at all times formed against the SEN
sual worship which was forishing luxur-
iantly among their neighbors the Egypt
ians, Assyrians and Babylonians and
which was retained in constant trans
formation to the present day. The Jews
are pure, abstaining, might say, alb

Daniel Webster at His Own Table.

It is not generally wise to attempt to
reproduce the table conversation of q
good man, for who does not know that
the aroma which fills room when q
precious wine is uncorked is an eyanes-
cent influence? Who does not know
that there are characteristics of manner
and voice, and play of features which
no record of the remark or the anecdote
can give to those who did not hear it !?
It should be said, however, of Mr.. Web
ster that he never discoursed. never
harangued at his own table, or at any
other where set speeches were not in set
order, and that. he never monopolized
the conversation. His mode of talking
was to "give and take;' and, although
all felt him to be the person whom every
one desired to hear, no one presumed to
"draw him out" Nor was it necessary
for him to do SO. As Mr.. Kenyon found
him in England, so it was in his own
house. We did not ssquestion . him on
"affairs of state" Politics were seldom
alluded to. As he knew so much else.
he had SO many other resources, he was
so rich in experience, observation and
feeling, that conversation did not need
to drift into that dreary subiect-the
party objects and struggles of the day.
His conversation had the accidental
flow which belongs to all good talking.
Natural objects, common things, or com
mon occurrences, might start the topic,
but when he touched it he invested it
with an interest, and placed it in rela-
tions and surrounded it with informa-
ton that surprised the listener like a
new revelation. It was knowledge with.
out pedantry, the power of illustration
without lecturing. He excelled, too, in
the art of telling story, of which the
humor was infinitely heightened by his
own enjoyment of it. But, in all his
humor in conversation, there was never
the smallest approach to indelicacy.
When the ladies had retired from the
table, no one ever heard from him, or in
his presence, an anecdote or an allusion
that might not have been uttered before
them; nor did word Of profanity or
irreverence for things sacred pass his
lips in any company. Curtis Life OF
Webster.

A SMALL boy who lives in Brooklyn,
is very fond OF drinking coffee at break
fast-time, and his mother does not want
him to drink it. He is also fussy about
what he eats saying he doesn't like
this or that. Recently his mother, after
refusing to give him coffee, was chiding
him for saying that he didn't like some
thing that was on the table, and told
hum he must eat what other people ate.

look, "if I've got to take what other
people take, bring on your coffee. .
