THE ROTHSCHILDS.

If you only knew it, your interests are identical. Of all the

families of the earth that ever stood together, perhaps the most

conspicuous is the family of the Rothschilds. As Mayer Anselm

Rothschild was about to die in 1812, he gathered his children about

him, Anselm, Solomon, Nathan, Charles and James, and made them promise

that they would always be united on 'Change. Obeying that injunction,

they have been the mightiest commercial power on earth, and at the

raising or lowering of their sceptre, nations have risen or fallen.

That illustrates how much on a large scale, and for selfish purposes,

a united family may achieve. But suppose that, instead of a magnitude

of dollars as the object, it be doing good and making salutary

impression and raising this sunken world, how much more ennobling!

Sister, you do your part, and brother will do his part. If Miriam will

lovingly watch the boat on the Nile, Moses will help her when leprous

disaster strike.
