Wise: Respected Sir, Your communication struction in the Hebrew, and English Importance of the Israelite. Many of the fair sex assured us, that they can not attend to cooking, washing, ironing, knitting, sewing, and other important ings, before they have read the Israelite. We understand how to appreciate tho importance of this favor, and it will be one of our most pleasant endeavors, to preserve the attachment of our sisters to the Israelite.

They believe that Christ will appear in 1864, that the Russians will triumph over the Turks, and the Jews over the Russians the latter event will happen in 10 years time when the Jews will become a nation in the Holy Land, and that Christ will be their King; that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the rest of the righteous Jews of old, and the few elect among the Christians; arise from the dead; and live in Palestine that the heathen and wicked Jews and Christians will sleep eternally, i Money Making. A rascal who professed to be a Jew, had been baptized no less than fivo times.

Having obtained in this way no less than five hundred dollars, he considered this an easy and a profitable business, and therefore he made proposals to an other missionary, who being out of funds, offered him but twenty-five dollars for his religion. The five-times-christianed Jew considered this business had depreciated so far, that he opened a clothing store in Chatham street in New York, and has made up his mind to bo baptized no more. delphia, was founded in the year 1839 the: necessity of forming such a society as should be devoted exclusively to tho mat Pittsburg, Pa.
