A man has scarcely left the class-room before he rushes to take up a burden beyond his strength; he tackles at once the schools, the peasants, scientific farming, and the Vyestnik Evropi, he makes speeches, writes to the minister, combats evil, applauds good, falls in love, not in an ordinary, simple way, but selects either a blue-stocking or a neurotic or a Jewess, or even a prostitute whom he tries to save, and so on, and so on.

Sir, sir!" said he earnestly, "I am here not only to thank you for having restored me my soul, but to give you a letter which will restore you your wife, and tell you the whole truth about her into the bargain." "Who wrote your letter?" I asked him, and he told me, "One who knows. Miriam the Jewess." I am to confess that he deceived me again.

On these thoughts Leila meditated, till thoughts acquired the intensity of passions, and the conversion of the Jewess was completed.

Now go your ways and thank whatever God you worship for His small mercies." "Alas! Sir Knight," the poor creature, a still young and not unhandsome Jewess, wailed in answer, "whither shall I go? If I return to that town those Christian men will surely murder me and my children as they have already murdered my husband.

The things I saw there were so horrible, so shocking, that the tongue refuses to tell them; but one poor Jewess, whose husband the wretches our fellow Christians killed, and then pillaged the house, I have never forgotten!

Before Margaret could reply, the deep bass "Ding-dong!" of the great dinner-bell rang through the Castle, and Levina made her appearance at the door.

With a graceful reverence to Margaret, Belasez turned, and followed Levina.

Nil walked up to the Jewess and shouted: "You dog of a Jew, pray to God for the orthodox Tsar!" "What do you want of me?" cried the Jewess. "I'm not touching you; you had better go away!" "What's that you say?" shouted the hooligan. A broad knife was lifted in the darkness and, gleaming, came down in a swoop, piercing the old woman. She gave a quick, shrill cry and fell back dead.

"Was it not?" she asked, triumphantly. "The Jewess, hitherto despised and ostracized by society, has suddenly become a legitimate princess; she has now the power to avenge all sneers, all derision, all contempt she has had to undergo.

Vallery, this girl, whom he believed to be a Jewess, offered him a large sum of money if he would secrete her on board, at all events until the ship sailed, and if after concealment was impossible he would not betray her. Springall detailed this intelligence in much less time than it has occupied us to repeat it; and then pausing, added, "But the worst is yet to come.

Promise me, I conjure you," cried she, turning and seizing both my hands, "promise me, my dear son, that you will see no more of this Jew and Jewess."
