THE JEWISH SOUTH.

lessly asked Piron in company whether he could tell
her the difference between a woman and a mirror.
at is, madam, = said Piron instantaneously, "that
a mirror reflects without speaking, and a woman
speaks without rejecting Very well, Monsieur
Piron, !" she replied, a little nettled by the remark;
"but can you tell the difference between a mirror and
a man p No." answered the poet. 'Oh," was the
reply, 1T is this, Monsieur Piron. A mirror is
always po1ised, but a man is not always &C. "-Youths

to carry their wealth in that portable and easily Sc
GREETED form, for the Jew was the ball that every
Christian power could pitch and toss at the hearts
will. Any bigoted priest, any stupid peasant, any
impecunious robber baron and ~covetous and despotic
king could stir up the Jewish nation. The order of
an imbecile prince or some medieval Hannah suficed
to drive the Jews from their homes. Is it a wonder
then that they sought to invest their money in prop
erty that could be easily transported in case of emer-
gency, to which the Jews were often subjected.
But leaving the ancient and medieval times, let us
turn to the present. Can any one of my readersform
an idea as to how many millions of dollars were
taken away from the poor Jews when the terrible
ukase issued by Alexander III. with his accession to
the throne vas published, that in twenty-four hours
all the Jews should be driven out from the large cities.
O, it was a terrible time for the old Jewish inhabi-
tants of st. Petersburg, Moscow, Kieff, Riga, etc.
How many families were ruined, while their property
was taken away by the government. Those who
succeeded even in selling some of their goods to the
Christians during their stay of twenty-four hours,
received very meagre prices. O, it is very sad to re-
member how the miserable and wretched Jewish mer-
chants, lawyers, doctors and others, with their fam
lilies, had TO depend afterwards upon the mercy Of
their brethren from the Lithuanian States. Is it a
wonder, then, after all this misery, that wherever
you travel now in Russia, particularly in those parts
where the Jews are thickly settled, you will find that
the Hebrew race has mostly invested it's money in
jewels. You will find very often in Russia that as
soon as a couple gets married the brides dowery is
quickly converted into that easily portable shape. l
repeat it again, that in comparison with the Aryans,
Jews are not wealthy. Wealth has not been counted
a mark of distinction among this people. Science
scholarship-these are honored and revered. The
teacher, the thinker-thesea are lions aristocracy.
If in some cases the Jews are more successful than
their Aryan n%eighbors, the main cause thereof is not
a miracle, nor a special interference of Providence,
but their success is mainly due to the love of their
families, their devotion to their elders, as well as to
mercy and kindness and their habits of temperance.
cannot end without uttering the famous divine
command, LET there be light!' For wherever light
exists there it displaces the darkness of prejudice;
and where there is no prejudice there can be no ha-
tired, but only mutual esteem and forbearance, and
the love of Gods sweetest gift-peace.

a problem.

A philosopher having long vexed himself with the
question as to whether the majority of men were wise
or stupid, at last had an idea tending to a possible
solution of his difficulty.
Entering a crowd, he called out several times:
"Hallo, you clever fellow You wiseacre! You sagel'
But none paid any attention.
Then he cried out once: "You IDIOT" At once
everyone within hearing turned about and looked
daggers at him, some even offering to strike him.
With difficulty he escaped the general wrath-but
his problem was solved.-The Temple.

reputation for brilliancy of speech was unrivaled.
