      he afterwards went to Borne , and secretly embraced the Catholic religion . Having returned to Germany , he became a priest at Aschaffeubourg , and in 1814 , the Congress had the satisfaction of hearing him preach at Vienna ; he received from Austria a canonry , in reward of his good

      sentiments . Still full of zeal , he entered the order of the Redemptionists 9 but quitted it spor * after and contented himself with being a preacher . There were flashes of genius in his sermons , passages which bespoke the poet , but they were frequently common-place and

      trifling . He died on the 17 th of January , 1823 . Before his death he made a long will , in which , amongst other things , he bequeathed his silver pen to an image of the Virgin , highly revered in Austria ; and he composed apt epitaph for himself , concluding with a verse- from the Gospel

      of gt . Luke , followed by a note of interrogation and a note of admiration , which each , reader might interpret as he thought proper . The biographer has inserted in his memoir a sort of confessions committed to writing by Werner ; but they are less sincere and less attractive than the

      confessions of another celebrated convert , wfeo , unlike Werner , was restored to the bosom of his paternal religion .

      HESSE-D ARM STADT . Instruction of the Israelites . —An edict compels all who profess the Israelitish religion to send their children to the public schools . They are at liberty to use those of their own persuasion , or to avail themselves of the instruction given

      in the Christian schools . At Weimar ? likewise , the Jews have been invited to share in the public education . In the schools of their own religion , the instruction is to be given in German , but the decree provides for their admission into a gymnasium or the university , and

      declares them eligible to places destined by the state for the scholars . Of late , it has even been permitted for Jews to marry Christians , on the condition that their children shall be taught the Christian religion . These measures will , be far more efficacious than proscriptions and laws of exclusion in improving the

      state of this portion of the human race , hitherto separated from the rest of their species only by the distrust with which they have been treated . We have before taken occasion to remark , that those American States which have placed the Jews on the same footing as the rest of the citizens , have never had reason to complain of them .
