rades were already assembled, l bastened
TO tell them the important news
which my father had told me-that
my grandfather had been Il little Jew with a
long beard. Scarcely had | made this com
munication when all over the room it was re-
peated in all possible keys, accompanied by
the imitation of animal voices. The children
jumped over the desks tore the blackboards
from the walls, split the ink, upset the chairs,
laughed, crowed, Weighed, barked, and
grunted, the refrain always being the grand
father, IA little Jew with a big beard. The
entrance of the master stopped the noise, the
culprit who had raised the rebellion was soon
found out and received a sound whipping in

that God, who created whippings, had in His
wisdom ordered that the whipper should in
