A Jewish Wedding Feast.

There were a great many people COM

of the wise Rabbi Isaac Ben Nassur.
They were not all Cana people, by any
means. The bridal feast was spread
in the large front room opening upon
the porch, and all who had a right to
enter were welcomed heartily. Food
was plentifully provided, but the mer-
REST hour of each day would be after
sunset, when, the days work being
done, all the invited guests would
come. The bridegroom was continual
ly present, to receive congratulations
and good wishes. With him were sew.
eral young men of his more intimate
friends; but decidedly the most impor-
tant figure in that room was Isaac
himself. As master of the house and
as ruler of the feast, he sat at the
head of the long, table provided for
the occasion. His dress was as simple
as ever, but it seemed to have under
gone change, he wore it with so grand
an air. He appeared to be happy, and
he received great respect from the
throng of people who came to congrat-
ulate him upon the marriage of his son.
So the marriage feast went on until the
midday was past and the shadows be-
gan to lengthen in the streets of Cana.

he had of her face made him wish that
he might study it at leisure. It sud-

nothing in his purposeless plans to pre-

self and his belongings to seat in the
other train, whence he could continue
his observations. The study once be-

him, pushing him swiftly to the conclu-

dusky hue rarely seen in the Anglo

far as to try to transfer it from his
mental camera to leaf of his note

good, from a technical point of view,

white suggestion failed to give even a
hint of the Transparency of her COM

that came and went on her face as she
turned the leaves of her book, he tore
it up and dropped the fragments out

an idea, and he got up and walked down
