THE JEWISH SOUTH.

OIAIO dAu OIIOW.
Famine finally. drove him into a country where vice
held sway under the dual dominion Of superstition
and tyranny. Here he found food for his famished
family, and was again united to a beloved son whom
ne had mourned as dead (now restored in the fulness
OF manhoods wisdom and power). But the bitter
waters OF Marah had still to be drained, for he had left
his graves behind him, and his prophetic soul told him
that his progeny would inherit troubles beyond the
conception of the most gifted imagination. His wan
behring's ceased only with his death, and Israel familv
sat down in the land of Goshen to enjoy the heritage
earned by Joseph as a reward of courage, chastity,
wisdom and craftsmanship (displayed) in a country
where 1t was a disgrace for an Egyptian to break
bread with a Hebrew. We of the present day. who
have felt the icy hand of prejudice in either a mider or
severer form, can readily imagine the bitter sensations
ola Joseph, who witnessed the fleeing of an Egyptian
from hetable when a Hebrew came in to break bread.
In presenting to you the subject of the Jews in
Germany and their relation to the a~nti-Semitic cues
ton, | have delved into the history of past ages in
order that might lead you with gentle steps up to
a painful subject without too sudden a display of the
enormities of injustice and the bitterness of prejudice
which have prevailed to a greater or less extent in
nearly every decade since history was first made.
The history OF the Jews and of Judaism is interwo-
ven with that of every nation of prominence in Europe.
1t is likewise commingled with the social structure of
every civilized country, and forms an integralpart of
allethics and philosophy, serving to elevate the aspir-
ing, strengthening the frail, embelishing the beauti-
ful and giving hope to the despairing and down
trodden of every section of the earth.
Leaving Egypt, with the enthusiastic throng of
emancipated worshippers now being led forth for a
three days journey to serve God in the wilderness,
afterwards converted into a forty years wandering,
and pauslng only to take a rapid review of events,
we pass by the period when the codifcation of the
laws OF health and morality was the incentive of an
inspired mind entering the promised land with the
remnants OF q stlH-necked band now augmented bv
the rising generation of victorious wanderers; glanc-
ing at the primitive government of elders or Judges
OF the tribes, weakened by divisions and iealousies;
noting the wonderful deliverance from internal dis
sensions and external enemies, until there arose a
dynasty OF kings with poets, prophets and seers tread
ing along unbeaten paths, u%ntaught of history or ex-
perlence, we come eventually to the downfall of a ma
tons capital, the de, truction of its gorgeous temple,

we stand at last in the presence of a race that throws
its shadow across the path of allcreeds and ali other
races, without either friend or ally; and vet is so
nrmIy constituted that for two thousand years it
mas held It's char acteristic features, without a coun-
Try OF its own, and withal has preserved the purity of
ITS ethical code in the face of opposition of all kinds
and from all directions.
1t suits best now to mount with a single stride the
intervening space between the time of the scattering
OF the people and the settlement in Germany of the
several remnants which there found a shelter from the
storms of hate and animosity.
SPAN had harbored them till their genius rose to
the uppermost rung of the ladder of fame and then
expelled them. Rome gave them shelter till their
learning and commercial instincts rose superior to
that OF their contemporaries and then drove them
forth. Holland and Egypt were upon the eve of Of
1er1ng them a haven when struggling settlements be-
gan to locate in different cities Of Germany.
The earliest settlements claimed for the Jews of
Germany date back to the First Century. The records.
however, are not sufficiently established to be regarded
as authentic; yet, while there is scarcely room for
doubt that rivialsettlements were located as early as
the beginning Of the present era, communities Of Inn
portance were not to be found earlier than the Eighth
or Ninth Century. We shall, however, have more to
say OF the dark period between the Thirteenth and
Eighteenth Centuries, when the ingenuity of man was
exhausted IN efforts to degrade, Cypress, rob, insult,
cxterm1natea suffering, helpless, hapless people whose
only crime layi in a refusal to desert a form of worship
Whlchthey had inherited from a God fearing ancestry.
During the period here referred to, which may prop
erly be termed a third captivity, the Jews of the world
occupied an anomalous position. AS the custodian
OF the law and the prophets; p~racticing selfdenial,
disseminating knowledge, leading a life of exile, exist
ing as q nation without a government, a religious
sect without a head, a race without a chief, vet all
the whlle retaining possession Of that remarkable
gltt OF pers1stency which has enabled them to beoueatb
to posterity all Of those qualities which cause their
recognition as a potent factor in the evolution of the
social structure. Welcome nowhere, obtaining tenn
porary abode only by sufferance, they accepted shelter
wherever permitted to rest their weary feet.
Maltreated and prosecuted, misunderstood as well
as misJudged, they numbered among their enemies the
papal as well as the protestant ecclesiastics. The

CHAPTER v.

With the first peep of day retired
from the open air to my old lair among
the sandhills, there to await the COM
Ing Of my WIFE The morning was
gray Wild and melancholy; the wind
moderated before sunrise, and then
went about and blew In puifs from the
shore; the sea began to go down, but
the rain still fell without mercy. Over
all the wilderness OF links there was
not a creature to be see. Yet I felt
sure the neighborhood was alive with
skulklng foes. The light had been no
suddenly and surprisingly flashed upon
my face as ! lay sleeping, and the hat
that had been blown ashore by the
wind from over Graden Floe, were two
speaking signals OF the perlls that en-
vironed Clara and the party In the
pavilion.
1t was perhaps half-past 7. or nearer

she cried, "They did not Wish me to
go walking In the rain"
Clara" said; you are not fright
ened?"
mo" said she, with a simplicity
that filled my heart with confidence.
For my wife wa the bravest, as well
as the best If women; In my expe-
rience have not found the two 20 al
ways together, but with her they did;
and she combined the extreme OF for
titude with the most endearng and
beautiful virtues.
l told her what had happened and,
though her cheek grew vlslbly paler,
she retained perfect control over her
senses.
"You see now that I am safe, said
I In conclusion. "They do not mean
to harm me; for, had they chosen,
was dead man last night"
She laid her hand upon my arm.
And had no presentiment!" she
cried.
Her accent thrilled me with delight.
l put my arm about her and strained
her to my side, and, before either Of us
was aware, her hands were on my
shoulders and my lips upon her mouth.
We may have thus stood for some
seconds--for time passes quickly with
lovers--before we were startled by a
peal of laughter close at hand. 1t was
not natural mirth, but seemed to be
affected In order to conceal an angrier
feeling We both turned, though I
still kept my left arm about Clara's
waist; nor did she seek to withdraw
herself; and there, few PAGES off
upon the beach, stood Northmour, his
head lowered, his hands behind his
back, his nostrils white with passion.
"Ah, Cassilis!" he said as disclosed
my face.
THAT same" said I, for | was not at
all put about.
"And So Miss Huddlestone," he
continued slowly but savagely, this
is how you keep your faith to your
father and to me? This is the value
you set upon your fathers life! And
you are so infatuated with this young
gentleman that you must brave ruin
and decency and common human cau-
ton"

A Sad Drowning Accident

JOHN NASH LOSES his LIFE IN JoHNsoN's
MILL POND.
There was an accident at w. G. John
| sons pond in South Center district, last
Saturday afternoon, that resulted in the
drowning OF little boy. John Nash I'll q
l1.year-old son of John Nash, was skat-
ing on the pond in company with 1.-TWO
! little boys younger than himself. They
we're at the farthest part Of the pond
where the stream that feeds the pond
flows in, and the ice is very thin. The
attention of the hired man at the mill
was attracted by the screaming and lest.
ures OF the two little boys on the ice.
He told Mr. johnson, he thought, som
boy was in the pond. With all possible
haste, Mr. johnson ran to the spot, where,
on reaching it, he saw the upturned face
OF little boy. The current had taken
the boy some distance under the Ice, 40
far that he could not be reached by q long
pole, which was used, with a hook on the
end OF it, for fl eating ice. Mr. johnson
Jumped into the water, which at that
place 1s eight or nine feet deep, and tried
to reach him bv holding to the ice with
one hand and reaching under the ice with
the pole in the other hand. But the lit
tie fellow sank out of sight. Those who
reached the place in the meantime saw
Mr. johnson was in the water nearly half
an hour and became soschilled he was un.
able to get out without help, but for the
presence of which, he would have been
drowned: After dragging the space in
the vicinity of where the boy went down,
the body was found, about two and one
half hours after he broke through. In
the meantime the sad intelligence had
been conveyed to the parents, and when
the body of the little boy, who few
short hours before was full of life and
childish activity, was carried to the home.
it was sad task for those. who in the
sympathy of their hearts went to help
aud comfort the afflicted ones. whose
sorrow Is shared in by large circle of
friends and townspeople. The funeral
was largely attended on Tuesday from
