Beating the Old Woman.

A Solomonic decision was given recent
ly by Rabbi at Odessa, under tho fol-
lowing circumstances A Jewish lady of
that city was visited by Il young girl OF
the same persuation who said that she
was an orphan, and that her parents had
left her 4SO roubles, which, she carried
with her. All she asked was to he allow
ed to stay few days with the worthy
matron until she had situation as a
nurse. This request was readily granted,
but in the meantime the Jewish lady
persuaded tho girl to get married, which
she could easily do with her little for
tune, and which was preferable to going
to service. The girl was quite willing
to accept this advice, all the more SO as
the old lady promised to find husband
for her. She conspired with her own
husband that he should marry the girl,
and having obtained the money from
her he should get a divorce, which is an
easy matter among the Jews of Russia.
This plan was duly carried out, but
having married the girl the husband
liked her better than his first wife and
declined to sue for divorce. The en-
ragged old lady ran to the Rabbi, who,
having heard all the particulars Of the
case, decided that tho first marriage
slould lie dissolved, and that the first
wife should receive the sum Of ten rou-
bles for her services as matrimonial
agent.

Lent.

The following regulations for the
observance Of the Lenten season, have
been issued for the guidance of Ro-
man Catholics by Archbishop Hess, of
Milwaukee:
All days Of lent, Sundays excepted,
are fasting days of obligation, on which
but one full meal is allowed
The use Of flesh meat is allowed, by
dlspensatiOn, at the principal meal
only. all days, except Wednesdays and
Fridays, and also Saturday, of the
second or Ember-week, and the last
four days Of Lent.
cheese is allowed throughout Lent, also
the use of lard instead of butter for
cooking, though on Good Friday lard
and eggs are forbidden.
Fish and flesh meat are not permitted
to be used at the same meal.
A collation. or repast may be taken in
the evening, but it ought not to exceed
q fourth part Of an ordinary meal; and
4 cup OF coffee Or tea, mixed with a
little milk, may be taken with a small
slice of bread by those that need it, in
the morning.
Besides Lent, therefore, during the
wear, the following are days of fast and
abstinence:
Wednesday. and Friday and Satur-
day i'll every Ember-week.
The Eigils Of Pentacost, of the
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, of
all Saints day, and Of Christmas, like
wise the Fridays i'll Advent.
All Fridays during the year are days
Of abstinence from fiesh-meat; on
Saturdays the use of fesh-meat is al
lowed again for this year. by Apostol-
zeal dispensation, except in case that a
fasting day falls on a Saturday.
All must consider themselves strictly
bound to this fast: those only are
exempt from fasting Though not from
abstinence who are under the age of
twenty-one, and such persons as are
sick, intirm, convalescent or otherwise
Of Il delicate constitution. and whose
strength is impaired by old age, nurs-
ing, or by hard labor. Such as are
seriously sick are also exempt from
abstinence.
Those who entertain any reasonable
doubt about their obligation to fast or
to abstain, ought TO have recourse to
their respective pastors for advice or
