A queen who hacl recently mounted the throne visited the principal edifices of the city , and admired the architecture of the church . " The only defect , " said one of the courtiers , " is , that a synagogue should have been built at the back of this Christian church . " "VVhy ? " answered the queen , " has it caused some disturbance ? " " None ; the little synagogue
contents itself by peaceably touching the rich cathedral , and Jews and Christians adore' their God in their respective temples , without troubling each other . " " It is well , " replied the queen , " if it continue so , until these two religious edifices fall together from old age . May they continue to support each other ; for the most beautiful ornament of the church will be the humble synagogue which props itself against it . "Tales for the Young .

In the district of AVadowice , upwards of forty Jewish families have already
their own farms , which tbey cultivate almost better than the ordinary husbandmen , and after the 15 th of next June , Jewish tradespeople will also be permitted to reside in the country if supplied with the proper certificates . Much has been contributed to this rapidly improving condition of the Jews b y our ecclesiastical authorities , who are unwearied in their exertions to enlighten our brethren , and more and more to confirm their attachment to government .
