MISCELtiAIbr-Y",
The Wandering Jew.
Thc legend ?B, that while Jesus Christ, was
on his way to Calvary, with tho cross on hi's
shoulders, he paused in front of On: liou.se
of a shoemaker, who struck him, and order?
ed him to go on. Thc Saviour replied,
"Thou shalt go on until I come again."
Christian, for a weary traveler
Send some water to this poor;
But a moment cnn I linger.
This small pittance to implore.
Onward by a whirlwind driven,
Lo, I nm thc Wandering Jowl
Burdened by thc weight of ages,
Yet not growing old like you.
My solo dream, tho end'of all things,
Every night f hope thc laut,
But thc nun it ever risset ii,
And each day is like tho jinst;
And forev'-r
Turns thc earth, and ceases never,
While I wander still forever.
Eighteen centuries! how fearful
Thus to spend o'er land and wave,
ThuK, alas to seek HO vainly
. For the quiet of thc grave!
But thc awful whirlwind follows.
Aa 1 tread a thousand Slates,
Paws o'er Greek and Roman ashes.
Lands of icc, aiul'latids cf dates:
While I see the fruitless summer
Spreading famhie as 1 go,
Ami tlx: pestilence in cities.
Brontlung round me death and woe.
Yet. forever
Turns tlc earth, and ceases never,
Wliilo 1 wander still forever.
What to other men proves mortal
I embrace, but all in vain;
There's mi death for me in battle,
Though a thousand strew thc plain.
Always comes the furious whirlwind,
Tears nie from thc perils sought;
God has changed me thus to punish
A gieat sin which once 1 wrought.
One more cup-though thirsty, weary,
I must haste, and cannot stay
E'en to clasp thc hand that pities
Let mo drink-and then awav!
While forever
Turns the earth, and cen. es never,
Where I wander still forever.
I retrace in joyous children
The sweet faces of my own:
If my eyes should feast upon thom,
Comes thc whirlwind's raging ton....
Old men, would you dare to envy
Me this weary, long career?
Would yon tor a price thus wander
Over carl li from year to year?
For ihoso children laughing ronni! you
Time hath many years in trust,
Yet my feet, unrested, weary,
Shall hereafter sweep their dust -
fer forever
T'ims*tlic earth, and ceases in ver,
And 1 wander ?till for- vi r.
If I seek to find sonic tra vs
Of the place where 1 was Lorn,
And amidst tdd walis-ami ruins,
liest awhile r'y footsteps: lorn.
Then thc whirlwind still bellini! mo,
Haging, erics, "Thou shalt r%ot st iyi
On! until thy spirit, fainteth,
Tarry not- -away: away!
Thy forefathers have not left these
Place within their narrow tomi.;
Seek not. hope not for a dwelling,
lu its depths of silent gloom."
Thus forever
Turns thc earth, and ceases never,
As 1 wander still forever.
I, with taunts anil laugh inhuman,
Mocked ile- Man-God as he died
Then the load it tied beneath nie,
Baie me onward like a tide!*
But adieu! tin: whirlwind presses
Ye who have no charity.
Tremble! "lis for Unit I sutler:
Tremble as ye think of nie.
His Divinity it. was not
God hath" thus avenged in me.
But his groans and pain and suffering,
And Ins mocked humanity!
And forever
Turns the earth, and ciases n vcr,
While I wander still forever.
A Naughty French Story.
"Gamma," the Paris correspondent
of the New Orleans Picayune, gets elf
the following very Frenchy morceau
in one of his late letters;
I do not believe Easter eggs w. t.i
ever more in vogue than now. Thov
certainly were never so costly. I i
this ugo, when machinery relieves na?
ture of all her trouble*, of course we
don't cull on lieus to furnish us with
eggs for Easter. An ostrich could not
provide ns with eggs of/ the required
eize; for we put into our eggs garniture,
de chinienee-eau you conceive an ogpr
largo enotigh to contain a bronzed
t clock and a pair of f<iz-branched bronz?
ed candelabras! Velvet dresses contain?
ing pidy thirty-six "yards ol' material,?
lace and trimmings to adorn it, and a
mantle to match, a diadem of dia?
monds, with artificial' flowers made
of precious stones! All those objects
hud place in pur Easter egg'. As
the I renell are. vain, everybody tries
to outshine his neighbor in thc beau?
ty and value of his present; tit
last thi.i present, originally ti mere
trifle, represents now a considerable
amount of money, and as nobody
would sue for love or affection iii
forma pauperis, everybody is heavily
mulcted. Yet expensive as thev are,
I have heard of their doing some good
this year.
Easter Eve, a wealthy banker went
to one of the famous jewelers' shops in
th" Ruc do hi, Paix, and asked to look
at some bracelets. As his faco?was
familiar, the handsomest on hand were
shown to him, and lie selected one
which cost 81,000. Ho put his visit?
ing card in thc casket which contained
the jewel, and .oidered all to bo placed
:n the great sugar ogg-for our Easter
ena aro confectioners. "Scud that I
to M'lle G, " mentioning tl?o naine of a
popular damring girl at tho grand
opera. "By the way, show me tome
rings, not too cosily. Reselected a
ring of $100 and placed it in the sugar
egg. "Send that to Madame 13 ,"
giving his wife's mime. He paid for
both articles, und tripped with a light
step to his club. What gires more
buoyancy than a light- conscience?
He dined at Iiis club, played his accus?
tomed games of whist, and about 10
o'clock mach? his way to the dancing
girl's lodgings. She was lolling on her
sofa; she recei ved hun coldly. He was
astonished, for after a man luis made
a Parisian woman a present of $4,000
h*' has a right to expect not only a
continuance, but an increase of her
friendship. After abusing him soundly
for a stingy fellow, she rang tHe bell
and her chamber-maid answered it.
She suki to the latter, "Cecile, show
your hand to Mr. Meanness." Cecile,
with characteristic impudence of lo?
retto Abigails, thrust her hand in tito
bunker's face. Ke saw glittering on it
the ?100 ring he had selected for his
\v?ie. The dancing girl's boudoir was
not as agreeable that night as usual.
"He abridged his visit. It was still,
early in the evening He was at a loss
to know what to do do with himself.
At last he tet-erinined to go home.
He sat smoking in his .sitting-room
for .some time, und then the'thought
struck him, suppose I pass the rest of
the evening with my wife? Ile rang
the bell. His body servant entered.
"Jean, is ymir mistress at liomeV"
"Yes, sir." "Go ask if she will do me
the honor of receiving me this even?
ing?" While the servant was gone on
this errand, he arranged his dress a
Utile, ami upon .his wife's affirmative
answer, he went to her rooms. She
received him with open arms, exclaim?
ing, "You would run me crazy to-day.
1 have never seen a bracelet which
suited better my taste; ought I not
upbraid you for extravagance? No. I
am too delighted to utter one word of
reproach." She threw her arms around
his neck. They sat side by side on
thc sofa, and the banker found the
contrast butween the relined, educated.
gentlewoman ?uni the vulgar, unedu?
cated, garret-bom, Idtchon-bred danc?
ing girl delightful. Hours flew by.
The next day he broke with the danc?
ing girl, and he has since declared he
never knew what happiness was until
Easter live.
WOMAN'S SIIAKK or HAPPINESS.- -
Bal sac, in "Eugenio Grandet," says:
"In every situation woman has moro
causesiof grief than man, and .sutlers
more than he. Man has his strength
and tho exercise of -his power; he is
busy, goos about, occupies his atten?
tion, thinks, looks forward to the
future and linds consolation in it; but
woman stays at hom", remains face to
face with her sorrow, from which
nothing distracts her: she descends to
the very depths of the abjss it has
opened, measures it and often fills it
with her vows and tears. To feel, to
love, to sutler, to devote herself, will
always be the text of the life of wo?
man."
Thackeray recognizes thc sentiment
fully in "Vanity Fair:"
"Oh, you poor woman! oh, you poor
seen t martyrs and victims,, whose life
is a torture, who are stretched ? on
racks in your bed-rooms, and who lay
your heads down on thc block daily at
the drawing-room table. Every man
who watches your pains, or peers into
those dark places where the torture
is administered'to you, murd pity yon
and thank God that he has a board."
Again :
"I know few things more affecting
than timorous debasement and self
humiliation of a woman. How
she owns that it is she, and not the
man who is guilty! How she takes all
the faults on* her side! How she
courts, in a manner, punishment for
the wrongs which she has not commit?
ted, and persists in shielding the real
culprit! lt is those who injure women
who get thc most kindness from them.
They ure born timid ami tyrants," etc.
Then, when speaking of the ease
with which women hide, their feelings,
their patience, as compared with thai
of nen, Thackeray says in "The New
comes:"
"To coax, to Hatter, and befoul
someone, is every woman's business;
she is none if ?ho declines this office.
But men ure not provided with such
powers of humbug or endurance.
They perish and pine away miser?
ably when bored, and they shrink off
to the club or the public house for
comfort."
