SINUAY MOKNfAu .....Dec. 2, H«4 The Hebrew Festival of “Cha naka.” The following description of this Fes f>»! is taken trom tho Petersburg (Va.) and is of interest not only to our citisena of the Jewish faith, but 10 the general reader: “CUASAMA," TUB FeSTIVAT. OP THE Dsmoatiok. —This festival which com niemorates the preservation of the nu tiousl existence and the litieration of the Jews, is celebrated during eight days, commencing on tho 25th of the month Kislev—this year of the Cliristian era, December 3J. The several years of the exile and captivity which an of fending Deity pronounced against Judah and Jerusalem were terminated by the decree of Cyras, as had been predicted. The Jews returned to Jerusalem. The tsvor of the mighty uionaicbs ot Persia was intended to worshippers of the true God. They rebuilt their Temple and city and lived peaceably in their native valleys, while all around them was war. Xerxes undertook his rash expedi tion against the Greeks, and these in revenge ravaged the shores of Asia Minor, till the great king was forced to sue for peace. The tranquil Jews, under the direction of their High Priests, cultivated the arts of peace, and strove gradually to recover the national welfare they had once enjoyed. No remarkable event for many years interrupted the noiseless tenor of their annals. But this condition of quiet was doomed to bo most fearfully shaken. * Alexander the Great, leader of the Grecian hosts, attacked the last mon arch of Persia. Ilis might overcame and scattered the numerous army < f Darius. He besieged Tyre; thence he sent his messengers to Jerusalem and commanded the High Priests to furnish him with the same aid and supplies which till then the Jews had furnished to Darius. 'lhe Jews, true to the monarch whose bounty thev had experienced, refused to comply. Ti e haughty conqueror was highly offended. He vowed vengeance. Jerusalem was threatened. Jaddua, the If gh Priest, and tho Jewish people were in the utmost dismay, when a nocturnal vision revealed to Jaddna how to appease the licensed Macedo nians. He caused the city to be orna mented with garlands and the gates to be thrown open, w hen himself and the other priests, dressed in their sacred vestments, and the people clothed in robes of white, marched forth to Saplia, an eminence trom whence the whole city and temple might be seen. No sooner had Alexander beheld the High Priest in his robes embroidered with gold, wearing his mitre with the gold frontal, than he fell prostrate and adored the Holy name which was there inscribed in brilliant characters. His attendants were astonished. They had expected slaughter and pillage, but were, now struck with amazement. Alexander became the friend of the Tews, explaining, that whilst at Dion, in Macedonia, he dreamed of the scene now before him, and that the man who appeared now before him had promised him the conquest of all Asia. The danger being over, Jerusalem could joyfully rcknowledge the divine protec tion. But the period of peace which ensued was not of long duration. We pass over the various events of that era until the year B. C. T 161. The book of Maccabees records the suffer ings and fortitude of an oppressed peo ple. We refer to its pages and those of Josephus for the details. Antiochus had ascended the throne of Syria. Informed that the people whom be had so long befriended had at length been goaded into resistance, lie sent forth a verv formidable army of 40,000 foot and 7,000 horse against them. In their train came numerous slave mer chants, for Antiochus, had decided that the conquered Jews should be sold, in order to replenish his exhausted trea sury. To meet this host, Judas, the son of the venerable Mathias, could number about (1,000 followers. In strict conformity with the com mands of the law. he proclaimed that whosoever had lately married, planted vineyards, built houses, or was fearful, should retire. (Dent. xxx.. s—B). Halt of his forces have availed themselves of the prerogative. W itli trose few who remained, Judas obtained a decided vie tory. The rich booty of the camp fell into the hands of the Jews, who, with just retribution, sold for slaves as many of the slave merchants as they could find. Numerous other battles were fought with similar success to the Jews, all of which are recalled with satisfaction (luring the Feast of the Dedication. Thus triumphant, victors in every field, Judah and his followers entered Jerusalem. Freedom of conscience and the undisturbed worship of their God Wl been the potent motives which caused them to draw theirswords against the oppressors. Crowned with success they now prepared to restore that wor tbipto its ancient purity and splendor. They found the gates of the temple burned, their sanctuary abandoned, and shrubs and weeds covered the courts. With tearful eyes, but with heartfelt gratitude, Judas and his men undertook the task,of repairing, cleaning and con secrating the sacred buildings. The holy utensils, the table of shrew-bread, the candle sticks and the altar censors, til of pure gold, were made anew and in the sanctuary, and the tem ple was again inaugurated on the 2otli Jay of the 3d month, three years after its profanation and pillage by Autio thus. In honor of this manifestation of di- T hie blessings, the Jews burn the “Cha naka” lights for eight days, beginning on the 25th of Kislev, by lighting one taper or lamp the first night, adding another every evening, so that on the last night eight lights ore burning.

We lore to gaze at pretty feet and ankles, and laugh at those who I'hvii t, and so do other folks. Besides, they’re too high for mud. Moralists and gray haired gents may preach ad infinitum. Let a tilter pass. While they utter condemnations, two to one they’ll turn to get another look. The machines looks nice when not on one’s own folks and sweethearts, but we don’t object to any other pretty wo man’s donning them. Spinks says if he had a “ dear’’ she shouldn't go the style, but he’d rather his next door neighbor's pretty wife would be a “ tilte reen.” The majority of the Indies, he observes, now-adays in imitation of Hamlet, thus soliloquize : To wear or not to woar the tilting coatumo, That’s the question, Whether 'tis nobler in us girls to suffer Tho iuconvonienoe of the long-skirt dress, Or out it off against these muddy troubles, And by the cutting end them. ’Tis a consummation devoutly to bo wished, To don the pants: The pants ! Perchance tho boots! Aye, there’s the rub ! For in those pants uud boots what jeers may Como when we have shuffled off these Untold skirts. Must give us pause. There’s the respect that makes calamity Os so long % custom, For who could bear the scoffs and jeers of boys— The old maid’s scandal in tho young man's Laughter—tho sidelong leers and derision’s Meek, the insolent Press, and all the spurns We Tillers of these boobies take ? Who would tho old dress wear, To groan and toil under the weary load, But that the dread of something after it— Os ankles large, of crooked leg, From which not all escape, .Pussies the will, and makes us rather Wear the dress we have Than turn out lilters ? [Columbus Sun. The Falling Stars—No Use of Trowsers.—On the morning of the meteoric shower in 1832, old Peyton Roberts, who intended making an early start to his work, got up in the midst op the display. On going to the door, he saw, with amazement, the sky lit up with tailing meteors, and he concluded at once the world was ou fire, and the day of judgment had come. He stood for a moment, gazing in speechless ter ror at the scene, and then with a yell of horror sprang out of the door into the yard, right into the midst of the falling stars, and there, in his efforts to dodge them, lie commenced a series of ground tumbling that would have done honor to a rope dancer. His wife, being awakened in the meantime, and seeing Peyton jumping and skipping about the yard, bawled out to him : “Peyton, what in the name of common sense are you doin’ out, tliar, dancin’ aroun’ with nothin’ on but your shirt?” Peyton hoard not. The judgment, and long black accounts he would have to settle, made him heedless of all terrestial things! and his wife by this time becoming alarmed at his behavior, sprang out of lied,and running to the door, shrieked out at the top of her lungs: ‘ Peyton, I say Peyton, what do you mean, jumpin’ about thus? Come and put your trowsers on.” “Trowsers to the devil; what in the h—ll‘s the use of trowsers when the world’s on fire?”— Owensboro' ( Ky.) Shield. A Scene is Court.—Hon. David Paul Brown, of Philadelphia bar, relates the following good story in a late work of his: A quack had instituted a suit for medi cal services against one of his neighbors, and the suit being brought for the use of another, became himself the witness. A Mr. Williams, who was employed to de fend the suit and expose the quackery aud worthlessness of the services ren dered, subjected the doctor to the follow ing cross examination : “Did you treat the patient according to the most approved rules of surgery?” asked tile counsel. “By all means, certainly,” replied the witness. “Did you decapitate him ?” inquired the counsel. “Undoubtedly I did—that was a matter of course,” answered the doctor. “Did you perform the Caisareau ope ration upon him?” “.Why, of course,” answered the witness,” his condition required it, and it was attended with very great success.” “Did you then,” still further queried the counsel, “subject his person to au topsy?” “Certainly,” replied the witness, “that was the last remedy I adopted, ’*•• “Well, then, doctor,” said the counsel, “»s you cut off the defendant’s head, then desected him, and he still survives it, I have no more to ask, and, if your claims survives it, qnnekery deserves to be immortal.” P he n estivation. —“Do you believe in predestination ?” said the captain of a Mississippi steamer to a clergyman, who happened to be travelling with him. “Os course I do.” “And you also believe what is to be will be ?” “Certainly.” “Well, I am glad to hear it.” “Why ?” “Because I intend to pass that boat ahead in fiftoeu consecutive minutes, if there be any virtue in pine knots and loading safety-valves. So don’t be alarmed, for if the boiler ain’t to burst, then it won’t.” Here tbe divine began putting on his hat and looked very much like backing out, which the captain observing, he said: “I thought you believed in predesti nation, and what is to be will be ?” “So 1 (10, but I prefer being a little' nearer the stern when it takes place.” AUGUSTA, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 2, 1866.
