THE RABBITS WIFE.
A Story from the Talmud Unsurpassed
for Genuine Tenderness.


When Campanian lady on one occa.
sion visited Cornelia, the mother OF
Gracchi, she displayed her jewels osten.
tatiously and asked Cornelia to favor
her with sight of her own. Cornelia
thereupon produced her two sons, re.
marking: ''These are the only jewels
of which I can make my boast" Nobly
said, indeed, and worthy of the immor.
tality which is Cornelia's portion. But
a story in the Talmud has tenderness
in it which might have wooed Boccaccio's
pen. During the absence from his home
of Rabbi Meir, named the Light of the
Law, two of his sons departed to toe
spiritual world. On the return of the
rabbi his wife greeted him with a
pleasant countenance, and then said
MY husband, some time since there
were two jewels placed in my keep
ing Jewels beautiful, and costly
beyond all price. And to-day, in
your absence, the owner of the
Jewels came to me, and / have returned
them into his possession. To whieh
the rabbi replied that his wife had done
we'll, adding that I'VE must always give
back with faithfulness and cheerful
ness whatever is placed in our charge. :"
After a little time the Light of the
Law asked for his sons, whereupon the
mother took him by the hand and
gently led him into the chamber OF
silence, wherein his sons lay dead. The
rabbi gazed upon them, and his great
heart gave way, for he loved his sons
better than his own life, and in Israel
sons are treasure beyond all other
treasures-indeed a treasure recognized
as given by a benignant Heaven and the
light of his hopes was extinguished in
the darkness of despair, and he lifted
up his voice and eopt bitterly. Upon
this his wife meehly said: ''Weep not
thus, my beloved husband. Didst thou
not say to me, even just now, that we
must return with cheerfulness what
ever is placed in our charge-when it is
called for? These jewels were given
MS of God. He left them with us for a
time, and we have rejoiced and gloried
in the possession; but now, beloved
husband, He has called for His own,
and we should not repine. ne."-Gentle-
