Her circle of acquaintance In cluded nearly all the' most prominent men of ber time, military, social, political, and literary ; and Uentllea vied wltb Jewa In courting ber aeciety and praising her beauty and attainments. Tureugh It all, however, Bhe remained orthodox and de voutly lejal te ber people and berfaltb. Tbla it waa that brought about her heart'a tragedy, and lndiieetiy gave Rebeeca the Jewess te literature. While living In Philadelphia, Miss Grata waa wooed, It ia said, aud ber heart was wen by a Christian gentleman ei high obarae'.er and standing la aeciety, and of great wealth, She heroically refused his band, however, tbelr ditlerenoe of religion forming te ber mind an insuperable bar rier te their unlcn. She remained heart true te btm, however, and died single. The greatnesa and depth of ber sacrifice ter her conscience sake only a few of her meat Intimate Irlenda could knew. And sueh a one w Mathilda Hellman, the beloved of Washington Irving. Through her Miss Grata a frequent vUlter at her home in New 'Yerk, became intimately acquainted with Irving, a relation which bruatue pecu liarly close through the early death ei Miss Heffman, her dearest friend, hla only love. A common sorrow drew them te each ether. It waa eight yeara after this tad event In 1807 that Irving visited England and Scot land, and formed tbe acquaintance of Sir Walter Soett, an aciioantince that had ripened into warm Irlendablp before the genial American left Abbolttierd, where tbe few daya et happiness in the midst et lta charming, scenery and associations bad aped all tee awlltly for both. At tbla time Bfe Walter, waa atlll at work en Reb Rey, but he bad already In contemplation a story different In time and locality from hla previous Waverly novels, and perhaps even had aome of tbe plot of ivanhee worked out In general outline. It was then that Irving,' In conversation with him en tba subject, auggeated tbe cbaraeter of Rebecca tbe Jewess, giving blm an admir ing deaorlptlen of bis and tbe mourned Mlsa Heflman'a beautiful Jtwlah friend, and telling the tale of her purity, lefty principles, genereui benevolence, and yet fervent loyalty te tbe religion and tradi tion of her father. Scott at onee discerned In ber character, and in the history et her great aaerlBce for conscience aake,abundant material full of romantic Interest lie at onee adopted net only Irvlng'a suggestion, but tbe name and character et his friend as well, and made her the heroine of hla new historical romance. The Rebeeca ae vividly described In ber encounter with the Templar, whose captive she baa become ; ber waring at first of 'proud humility, a If submitting te the evil circumstance! in which abe waa placed aa tbe daughter et a despised race, while she felt In ber mind tbe oensclousneta tbat abe was entitled te bold a higher rank, from ber merit, than the arbitrary despotism of religious preju dice premltied ber te aspire te;" ber herole firmness in spurning the advances of her capter: "We can bave naught in common between ua you are a Christian I am a Jewesp our union were contrary It tbe laws allke of the church and tbe aynagegue;" ber sublime courage with which Hhe defies him and feces death ltsell rather than yield te dishonor these, te gather wltb nearly all tbe mluer traits attributed te ber, were but transcriptions from tne snaraeier ana nature et ueoeeca Oratz aa she wh described te tbe great romancer by Irving at d aa the waa known te ber many friend and admlrera In America.

I am lnelined te think It mere than proba ble that he did, and It ae that he must bave Shown it te tbe. author of Ivanhoe.
