Come with mo to the eastern part of the .city—the old town—where you will dia 'cover scarcely, a sign of modern nrchitcc lure. The streets are narrow, the houses lean toward each other from the opposite sides .of tho way, as if they were friends |about to fall into each other’s arms. It. ’is the Jews’quarter. Tho doorways are crowded with women and children—all bearing the unmistakable features which, the world over, characterize this historic people—rejected of. God, despised of men, persecuted as no other nation has over been, scattered, everywhere, yet retaining ’their nationality, endowed w‘ith a vitality which has no parallel in tho human race. Wo turn down tho Jndengasse, the Jews’ alley, froqi the chief thoroughfare of the modern town. In this street, one hundred and twenty-four years ago, lived a dealer In old clothes who had a red shield for a sign, which in Gorman reads Both & child. It was in 1748 that a child was borne to this Israelite. The name given to tho boy was Abselm Meyer, who also became a clothes dealer and a pawn broker, succeeding to the business of his father. By degrees ho extended his busi ness, lending money at high rates «>{ in wre.-v mirlup,- VliO iv,w„ tUv I managing hisaflairs with such skill that Prince William the Landgrave made him his banker. When Napoleon cameaeross the Rhino, in ISOB, this clothes dealer was directed to take care of (ho treasures of the Prince, amounting to twelve milium dollars, which he invested so judiciously that it brought large increase to Ihe owner, and especially to the manager. The banker died in leaving an es tate estimated at live million of dollars— not a very large sum in these davs—but he leftan injunction upon his live >nn.i, which was made binding-by-nn-oath-giv on by his sons around his death bed, which has had and still has a powerful influence upon tho world. Thu sons hound themselves by an oath to follow their father's business together, holding his property in partnership, extending the business, that the world might know of the red shield (Rothschild). The sons were true to their oath. Na than went to Manchester, England, as early, as 1707, but afterward moved to London. Absclm remained at Frank fort, James went to Paris, Solomon to Vi enna, and Charles to Naples, the . five -brothers thus occupying Ihe great centres. Nathan, in London, amassed money with groat "rapidity, and the same may he said of the others, the wars of Napoleon being favorable to the business of the house. — Nathan went to the Continent lo'witiicss the operations of Wellington in his last campaign against Napoleon, prepared to act with the utmost energy, let the result be as it might. He witnessed the battle of Waterloo, and when assured of Na poleon’s defeat, rode all night, with re lays of horses, to Ostond ; went across the channel in a fishing smack—for it was before the days of steam—reached Lon don in advance of all other messengers, and spread the rumor that Wellington and Biuchcr were defeated. The 20th of June in that memorable year was a dis mal day in London. The battle was fought on the 18th. Nathan Meyer, of the House of Bed Shield, by hard riding reached London at midnlghtdn tho2oth. On the morning of the 20th the news was over town that the cause of the allies was lost, that Napoleon had swept all before him. England had been thq leading spirit of the struggle against Napoleon.— The treasury of Croat Britain hud sup plied funds to nearly ail of the allied Powers. If their cause was lost what hope was there for the future? Bankers Hew from door to door in eager haste to sell theirstoeks. Funds of every descrip tion went down. Nathan Meyer was be sieged by men who had funds for sale, but he was not In the market, he too hud stocks for sale. What would they give? But meanwhile he* had scores of agents purchasing. Twenty-four hours later Wellington’s messenger arrived in Lon don; the truth was known. The nation gave vent to Its Joy ; up went the funds, pouring, it as.said, five miPion dollars in to the coders of this one branch of the house of the Bed Shield. . Though Frankfort is comparatively a small city—though it lias no imperial court—it is still a groat money cent;e, solely because that .there is the central house of the Bothschilds and other bank ers. The house of the Bod Shield Is the greatest banklng liouse In the world—the mightiest of all time. Its power is felt the world over—in the Tuileriesof Paris, in the Ministerial chamber at Berlin, In the imperial Palace at SI. Petersburg, in the Vatican at Borne, in the Bank of England, in Wall street, Statestreet, ami by every New England fireside. The house of the Bed Shield, by Ihe exercise of ils financial power, can make a dill'er cnee in the yearly account of every man who reads these words of mine. Though Absolm Moyer lias been dead half a cen tury —though several of his sons have gone down to the grave—the house is I he same. Thegrandchildrcn have the spirit of the children. The children of the brothers have intermarried, ami il ls one family animated by a common purpose, that the world shall only know one red shield. ' The -house, at an early stage of the American war, took hold of tho United States bonds, Germany had confidence in America. England strove for our ruin, but the people of the Rhine believed in theslarof American liberty. Kilty years of peace had been long enough to" bring wealth to this land, and with every stea , mer orders were sent acro.-s the Atlantic for invesimontof American securities. It is supposed that Germany holds at the present time about three hundred and fifty millions of United States bonds, and it is said that there have been no less than fifty million dollars, profit to the bankers of Frankfort on American secu rities since the year 18(in. Tho great banking houses here make little show. 'The transactions of the Rothschilds amount to millions a day, and yet tho operations are conducted as quiet ly as the business of a snail counting house. You can purchase any stock’lion*. Passing along tho street, i noticed bonds of the State of California, of several American States; bonds in Dutch, Rus sian, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, Dalian, French—bonds of all lands—of .-dates, cities, towns and companies. The ie portsof tho Frank fort Exchange art*;«ink ed at by European bankers with a-> much interest as that of London oi Paris. The power of the Red Shield was felt by Prussia last summer.. The Prussian Government demanded an indemnity of great amount, twenty-five ini Hum dollars, I believe, from theoity of Frankfort. Tho head of tno house of the Red Shield in formed Count Uismark that if the at tempt was made to enforce the levy lie would break every hank in Rerih. ; that he had the power to do it, and that he should exercise the power. , Prussia hud won a victory at Ivonnigrala; she could sweep away all'armed opposition, but here, in the person of one man, she had met an adversary who had the power to humble her, am! she declined the contest. A much lower sum Whs agreed upon, which was paid by the city. For fifteen centuries the'Jews have been cursed by the Pope, and .persecuted by the Roman Church. There is no more revolting chapter of horrors In his tory than that of the treatment of the Jews at tho bands of the PontitJs. In all lands where the Roman religion is domi nant, the children of Tsreal have been treated with barbaric rigor—allowed few privileges, denied all rights, looked upon us a people accursed of God. and set apart by divineordination to be trampled upon by the Church. In Home, at the present day, the Jews are confined to the Ghetto; they are not allowed to set up a shop in other parts of the city without a permit; they can engage only in certain trades; they are compelled to pay « normous taxes into the Papal treasury ; they are subject to a stringent code of laws established by the Pope, for their especial benefit: they .are imprisoned and lined for the most tri vial offenses. They cannot own any real estate in the city;* cannot build, tear VOL. 54.—N0. 12. down or remodel any dwelling or change their place of business without Papal per mission. They aro in abject slavery, with no rights whatever, and entitled to no privileges, and receive none, except upon the gracious condescension of the Pope. In former times they were un mercifully whipped and compelled to listen once a week to the Christian doc trine of the priests.. But time is bring ing changes. The Pope is in want of money and the house of the red shield lias the money to lend on good security. The house is always ready to accomodate Governments. Italy wants money, so she sells her .fine system of Railroads to the Rothschilds. The Pope wants mon ey, so ho sends his Nuncio to the wealthy honse of the despised race, offers them security on the property of the Church, the Oampagna, and receives ten million dollars to maintain his army and Imperi al Slate. That was in 1805. A year passes, and the Pontitlciul expenditures are live millions more than the income, and the deficit is made up by the Rothchild's, who take a second rate of interest. An other year is passed, and there is fC third annual vacaum in the Papal treasury, of six millions, which will quite likely be {tiled by the same house. The Arm cun do il.mlilv.'Oa niMvl.-VATO ae juu,' iwtftAuvo «r.n pay their yearly subscription. When will I he Pope redeem his loan at the rate he is goinyf? stover? the day is not far distant when these repre sentatives of a persecuted race will have all Hie available property of the Church in their possession. . FRENCH WIVES. 'V I *. TVomou Marry and lloiv They Art TV lion Marrlcil. What wretched wives French women make i.-They certainly are less Hlted lor matrimony than any* woman the sun shines on. Fond of excitement, devoted to pleasure, loving dress, delighting in company, home and its duties are con finement in Jail and Irksome drudgery to them. The best of them wear the breech es, haggle—as only women can haggle— about centimes and sous, reduce their husbands to hardship, drive off their friends, reduce his expenditures, dimin ish his pjeasures, place money over and above everything else, make their will, their wishes, their whims, their caprices, the law of the house hold, and think they ought to be adored us angels because they keep buttons and shins from parting company. These are, the jewels of married women in France. But oven these think light ly of fidelity to marriage vows. In this nation of social life, where society is ev erything and all elseßs nothing, nobody thinks of refusing anything which may add to the entertainment of company,— As husbands are zeroes in the best houses, any complaint they may make of invas ion of their rights is commonly disregar ded, or if insisted upon, is answered by suit for divorce. These “animals’* have no rights except so fur as union of buttons and shirts is concerned. There are no women in the world more agreeable to strangers in a drawing room than French women. Falsehood and truth are things indifferent to them ; consequently, such a thing as principle never checks their desire to be agreeable. Their natural maliciousness and their na tural sprightliness, whoso quickness and sharpness have been increased by the continual attrition of company, make their conversation entertaining. Their satisfaction in finding themselves in what they may not unjustly consider their proper sphere, dimples their cheeks with smiles and kindles light in their eyes. Their vanity, which continually goads them to struggle for applause, stim ulates them to exert all their powers of pleasing. They consequently are the most agreeable drawing-room compan ions to strangers in the world. It is almost impossible to avoid failing in love with them. Fancy pursues them beyond the drawing-room, and uses her warmest colors to draw pictures of the happiness of the men who 1 constantly possess such bright, vivacious, amiable and fashionable creatures. Fancy—that willi-o’-the-wisp of life —deceives us here, as is her wont, and, wore wo to follow her glittering, airy flame, would surely lead us into a most painful morass. The rocket, which lies hi the artificer’s laboratory, black, sullen, unattractive, in Its vulgar pasteboard case resting on an unadorned, unpolished, rough stick, does not more differ from the fiery bolt which makes mobs stare, ns it seems to scale-the highest heavens, than the French cynosure of the drawing rooms differs from tho wife in her husband's or her family’s company. Tho restraints of domestic life oppress them to an, inconceivable degree. The ideal happiness of all of them is to enjoy a motherless widow’s freedom—to have no account to give of their time or their purse, or of their body —to have no con science save only to keep unknown deeds I unreproved by public opinion. Too cold to be licentious, they are never Immoral except to gratify an ngreoablecompanion ; and, were Jove to listen to their praj’c'r,"' men’s desires would be of the same tem perature all thro’ life as they are at three score and ten. It is neither wonderful men and wo men marry here, .not wonderful they separate. Marriages are contracted sole ly for money or for social position, or for both. Women marry for these ad van-" tnges and to be free. A women is a ward, an Infant, until she marries. *She must not be seen, fit plays, where the dialogue Is as thinly .ami sparely draped as the leading actress, wlio keep its shuttlecock of conversation flying. JShe must not go on die street, or into public gardens alone. She must not dip licr nose into books which are only lit for tho shelves of married Coventry.— She lias the worst seat at the table, church, theatre, ami in the carriage. • She must bo silent, modest and respectful. All changes when she marries, rihe was a girl—she is a women. She may go where she pleases, when she pleases. The slave is tyrant in turn ; the husband {so free while unmarried) wears tho dis carded manacles; the ball.and chain are for his ankles. She reads what she pleases, hears and plays, sees any sight. Her father may have hud no matter what title, she was nobody. Her husband’s title becomes feminine, and is her prop erty ns much as it is his. The opera box, the carriage, the town and the country. . house are hers. She engages and dis misses the servants. The table Is laid to suit her taste. She has nit the keys. Therefore, women marry. If matrimony does not suit them, des pite husband, father and mother, she sues a divorce. Her husband is obliged to give her an income In keeping with their rank in society. She is as free ns air. Nut the Hight Noise.—At IMaear villc, a Methodist minister went to a tin shop to buy a blowing horn. Selecting one, he asked the clerk whether it would make a loud noise I “Oh, yes,” said the clerk: “a h—l of a noise.” “Well,” replied the minister, “as I want it to blow at camp meeting, I don’t think that kind of a noise will suit,” and walked otf.

The usher called out rer peatcdly. “Silence!” when the judge mildly said: “Mr. Usher, don’t you know better than to call silence when la dies are in court?” “ Bile,” said one apprentice to anoth er, “ my boss is a better man to work for than your old man.

Mrs. Stowe tellsastoryof an old min later, who had been nimble to keep some thievish boys out of his peach orchard, till he managed to reach their consciences by a story in the pulpit: Old Father Morris sometimes used his illustrative talent to very good purpose la the way of rebuke. He hud on Ids farm a fine orchard of peaches, from which some of the ten-or-twelvo-year-old gentle men helped themselves more Ibierally than even the old man’s kindness thought, expedient. Accordingly, he took occa sion to introduce into his sermon one Sunday, in his little parish, an account of a journey he took and how he saw a very line orchard of peaches which made his month water to look at them. “ So,” says he, “I came to tho fence and looked all around, for I would not have touched one of them without leave for all the world. At last I espied a man, and says I: ‘Mister, won’t you give me sumo of your peaches ?’ So tho man came and gave mo nigh about a hatful. And while I stood there eating, I said, ‘Mis ter, how do you manage to keep your peaches?’ ” “ Keep them?” said he, aud stared at me. “ What do you mean ?” “Yes,-sir,” said I. “Don’t the boys steal them?” “ Boys steal them !” said be. “Noin leed!” “Why sir,” said I, “I have a whole lot full of peaches, aud I cannot got half of them [here the old man’s voice became" tremulous] because the boys in my par-. ish steal them so.” “ Why,” said he, “don’t their parents teach them not to steal.” “ And I grew all over in a cold sweat, and told him I was afraid they didn’t.” “ Why, how you talk!” says the man. “ Do tell me where you live?” “ Then,” said leather Morns, the tears running down; “I was obliged td: tell him I lived in the town of G.” After this, Father Morris kept his peach es.
