Its confinement makes it but sparkle the more after it has once acquired its freedom. Is not the mind of man like this river? Can you confine it and prevent its onward course?" The Rabbi gazed with looks of mingled astonishment and admiration upon the boy at his side. The boy continued: "I would become wise like you and Pesach Harretzki.
"How should I know?" "Guess." "I might guess from now until the coming of Meschiach and still not be right." "Pesach Harretzki, your cousin and old admirer." Miriam sank into a chair and a smile rippled over her pretty features. "Pesach Harretzki here? When did he arrive?" "To-day. This morning. Itzig Maier, who knows all the news in town, has just told me.
"Fanny always had low views," continued Becky. "But I always said I would marry a gentleman." "And I dare say," answered Pesach, stung into the retort, "Fanny could marry a gentlemen, too, if she wanted." Becky's idea of a gentleman was a clerk or a school-master, who had no manual labor except scribbling or flogging. In her matrimonial views Becky was typical.
She made coats from morning till midnight at a big machine with a massive treadle, and had pains in her chest even before she fell in love with Pesach Weingott. Remarks, grave and facetious, flew about in Yiddish, with phrases of Polish and Russian thrown in for auld lang syne, and cups and jugs were broken in reminder of the transiency of things mortal.
I cannot attempt, my dear children, to describe the feelings of joy and gratitude with which I read your letter. God be praised for his love and goodness. I will write to Pesach Harretzki at once.

Crushed between two barrows, she found Mrs. Belcovitch and Fanny, who were shopping together, attended by Pesach Weingott, all carrying piles of purchases. "Esther, if you should see my Becky in the crowd, tell her where I am," said Mrs. Belcovitch. "She is with one of her chosen young men. I am so feeble, I can hardly crawl around, and my Becky ought to carry home the cabbages.
Pesach became despondent and put the finishing touch to his ungodly career by becoming intoxicated with beer on the Passover. In consequence of this and former misdeeds, he was ostracized from good Jewish society, and finding himself shunned by his former associates he departed from Kief to seek his fortune in a foreign land.
How to set the table for the service of the "Seder" on the eve of Pesach or Passover. Set the table as usual, have everything fresh and clean; a wineglass for each person, and an extra one placed near the platter of the man who conducts the seder.
But that is all over now!" and he turned with a sigh to meet other friends. He recollected every man and woman in Kief; moreover, he had a kind word and pretty compliment for each and the worthy people returned home more than ever impressed with the true excellence of Pesach Harretzki. Such was Bensef's remark to his wife, as they wended their way homeward.
Blissfully unconscious of the Dutch taint in Pesach Weingott, Bear Belcovitch bustled about in reckless hospitality. He felt that engagements were not every-day events, and that even if his whole half-sovereign's worth of festive provision was swallowed up, he would not mind much.
