[From (ho Banner of tho South.] Legend of the Wandering Jew* A wild and tcrriblo legend is that of tho Middle Ag?e, whioh personified tho Jewish nation by thc traits of tho wandering Jew. It represented an old man, with naked feet, uncovered head, nnd long, whito beard wan dering ccaselcsly over tho oarth. His faoo is palo, u nuuk of blood is upon his forehead, bis oyos burn liko sapphires beneath tho ob* liquo lids. With nn eagle like nose, and bloodless lips, squalid and harsh in features, nnd clad in a coarse woolen gown, ho ever pursues, with staff in hand, bis interminable journey. Spooking all languages, nud trav ersing all lands, knowing not tho purpose of God conccrniug himself, and ever driven on ward by a secret impulse, ho is transported from place lo place with tho speed of tho wind ) and as tho long centuries successively close, his old age roncwed with the vigor of youth, in order that ho may complete the woary round of ages. Tho people wonder as bo hastens past. Ouce or twioe only has be paused to tell his story. Ho was of tho Jow ish nation, Ahasuorus by name, and a shoe maker by trade-Dwelling in J er us alow he persecuted our Savior, and was of those who. cried ''Crucify Him 1" Tho sentence of death having boon pronounced, bc ran to his house, before which Jesus was to pass on the waj to Calvary. Taking bis child in bia arms, be stood at tho door with all his family, tc behold thc procession. Our Savior, weighed down by the burdcu of the cross, leaned foi n moment against thc wall, and the Jew, tc show his zeal, struck tho innocent ono a oruo blow, and pointiug to tho place of oxooution bade him go on. Thou Jesus, turning to th* unfeeling child of Israel, said : .?Thou refused rest lo Iho Son of dod ; I go, for it must needs be ; Hut for theo Ihoro shall bc no rest Or repose until I return. Go forth on thy loog journey. Leave thine own; traverse mountains and aeae Fnusing neither in the cities nor the deserts, Now whore-not even iu the tomb, As an cxamplo to the universo, and bearing Every whore the weight of my heavy curse, Illach shalt thou long for death, thy deliverance Hut shalt not die until tho day of judgment." Ho assists nt thc execution, and thou goc forth a mysterious stranger whoso feet sha become familiar with all lauds. How, agc after age ; he longs for thc swed of death, he must live on ; bis dust shall nt mingle with that of his ancestors. Ho drat, himsolf from a gloomy cavern of Mount Cai mel, sbakiug the dust from his beard grow oven to bis knees. Nine grinning skul are before bira. Ho seizes and hurls the from tho top of tho mountain, aud they { bounding down from rook to rock. Thoy a tho skulls of his parents, of his wife and s small children, all of whom have been able dio-but ho cannot. Ho rushes into tl flames of falling Jerusalem and attempts bury himself beneath thc orumbling ruins Home; but in vain.

GOOD ADVIOB.-Say nothing about yo self, ci thor good, bad, or indifloront ; no th, good, for that is vanity; nothing bad, that is affectation ; nothing indifferent; that is silly.

He comos homo tired and roady for dinnor, supper, or bod, and wholly indisposed to eater into the spirit of the fam ily, or draw them into his more intelleotual and elovated olrole.

Yet all these subjeot? would be interesting to his wife ; she would gladly onter into the minutia) of thom ; but it is too muoh troublo for tho married, important businosa man ; too small a matter for him to talk business with his family.

If a house with fair possibilities of homo comfort is thoroughly comfortless-if there is within it a reckless impossibility of get ting things dono in tho right way or at tho right time-or if, on tho oountrary, it is conduoted with a terrible regularity, so that an uninvi ted guost or an extempore meal souda a shook throughout the wholo abodo --if tho sorvants novcr koop places long-and the gontlomen ol the family aro prone to bo "out of evenings V -who is to blaine.

W0UI?D YOU MAKE MEN TRUPT/WOTHY ? Trust thom. Would you mako them truo ? Believe thom. This was tho real foroo of that sublimo battl?-ory, whioh no Englishman hoars without emotion.
