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. Flying from cities nt
and mon, tho wanderer seeks tho s?lita
places of tho earth He climbs thc cvcrlai
ing mountains; passed beyond tho rogioni
verduro and of dashing torrents, his feet tret
tho seas of amethyst and opa!. Abovo bi
are only peaks shrouded in mists and ctcrn
snows. The daring eagle soars not so hig
Thcro aro no sounds save thc cracking g'
oiors. Tho soul scorns almost to touch t
heavens above-Thcro, surely, the Wandi
ing Jew shall rest ? No. A pursuing an<
unsheathes a sword of flaming firo, and 1
thc wanderer beholds once moro in the bet
ens tho drama of the crucifixion. The v,
from oarth is storied with myriads of coll
tial beings, radiant with light. Before h
aro all the martyrs and saints and sages, w
have ever lived and died. For a moment
gazes upon tho vision ; and turns away, obai
by tho sword of .flame and demons of fr'g
ful form. Then ho again wondors ovor t
earth, ever, with fine pic?os of ooppor" in
pocket, over with the mark of blood upon
forehead. Maddonod with the agony of 1
ho throws himsolf into thc orator of iKt
but the boiling liquor and sulphurous flat
harm bim not. The floods of lava vomit 1
forth, for his hour is not yet come. Etnba
ing upon tho sea, tho wind risos its surf
into mountain waves, the vessels divide, t
all porish save tho Wandoring Jew. 1
light to sink in the oocan, its waves oast li
upon thc bated shore. Ho plunged int
hundred bloody conflicts without sword
Bbiold. All in vain. Tho leaden balls r
harmlessly upon him ; battle axes and scii
tars glance from bis oharmed body. Wh
mounted squadrons fight with tho fury ot
mons, ho oasts himself under the foct
horscrnon nnd is unharmed, so rivited aro
skull and body together. He says to Nc
"Thou art drunk with blood; to Christ
and Musslmcn, "Drank art thou with bloot
Thoy invent tho most horrible torturo for
punishment, yot injuro him not. Loavii
in his vaia pursuit of doath, tho lands tl
throb with lifo and industry tho Wander!
Jow threads tho solitary junglos of tho tr
ios. , Ho walks in poisoned air, and fie
Hons and flat-bonded sorpents will only sp
with him os ho bastons by.
And thus, bo wanders through oitice
splondor, and through desorts of darknt
until the dook of heaven strikes the last n
of time, und beholds tho sun go down to i
no more, and loaning his wearied spino i
aohing hoad against a blighted tree of I
forest, ho throws off his solelcss shoes i
tattered garments, bids farawell to timo
life, to death, and the last living man of
moe of Adam, plunges into erternity.
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.
Intelleotual Progress of Husband and Wife.
Thu young professional man uiarcios au in
telligent, good wifo, in ovory way bis equal.
They aro poor, and both aro under tho uooes
sity of osortiog themselves, to seouro suoecss
and prosperity in tho futuro, lio enters with
energy upon tho dutios of his profession, min
glos with tho bost intolleots, and the most
polished and learned men of sooiety. Ho in
obliged to apply himself closely to keep pace
with tho sooioty in which he mores. Ile must
road his books, hear discussions and engage
io thom, keep well up with the current nows
of tho day, and, by constant exeroise, his wits
are sharpened to tho highest degroeof his oa
paoity.
In all this toil and oxoitomont, ho bi en
gaged so closely, ho has but little timo for
family assooiatiou. 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.
Meanwhile, his dutiful and affectionate
wifo is as wholly and exclusively oooupiod
with family matters. She lives in the kitoh
en and nursery, and shuts herself up in th?
?uti? narrow oirole of domestic affairs lu a
few years the aoeompliahraonts for which sho
was so highly praised Ly hor husband and so
oiety, huvo tar nish od by dis uso. She is use
ful and good, but tho spboro o? hor husband
is far removed from her.
If selfish, ho fools, and rathor enjoys, his
sago superiority, and oomes to the grave con
clusion that woman mast be inferior to man ;
that it is not worth wbilo to try to keep her
up with him. Ho doos not talk with his wifo
of tho Gorman war, tho ohango in the torrito*
ry it hos wrought, tho politioal organization
it must givo riso to, booause she docs not know
onough of history, geography, or politics, to
apptooiato hts conversation, and it would in

derstand it.
It is too muoh trouble; it " don't pay."
He does not spook of tho disasters on the sea,
tho effects of tho great storm, the late news
from Congress, booause she does not keep ful

tho detail neoossary to mako her comprehend
all this would be an " endless task ;" so it is
uot undertaken.
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. Tboy know nothtng alike, they
think nothing alike ; and, by common cou

Woman in the House.
What is it makes a house bright 7 pleasant
to go to-to stay in-even to think about, so
that ovou if fato totally nnihilutes it we recall
tendorly for years its atmosphere of peace,
cheerfulness, loving kindness-nay, its out
side features-down to tho very pioturo on
tho walls, tho pattern of tho papering, the
position of tho furniture ? While other houses
-wo shiver at thc romcmbrauoo of them,
and tho dreary days wo spent in them-days
of dullness, misery, or otrife-theso houses
wo would not revisit for tho world.
Why ? 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.
Almost invariably, tho women of the fami
ly. The mon mako or mar its outside for.
tunos; but its eternal oomfort lies in tho wo
rn o n's hands alone. Until they feel this
rooognise at onoo their powor and their duties
-it is idlo for them to ohattor about their
rights. Mon may bo bad onougb out of
doors ; but thoir influenoo is limited and ex
ternal. It is women who aro in reality oither
the salvation or the destruction of a house
hold.-Miss Muloch.
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. When tho orewo of
tho Hoot of Brittan knew that thoy wore ex
pected to do thoir duty, thoy did thoir duty.
Thoy felt in that spirit-stirring sontonoo that
thoy wore trusted; and tho simultanoous
ohcer whioh rose from ovory ship was a fore
runner of vio tory ; thc battle was already half
won. Thoy wont to sorvo a oountry whioh
oxpeotcd of thom groat things; and thoy did
great things.
And it ia on this prinoiplo that Christ
wins the heart of his redeemed. He trusted
tho doubling Thomas; abd Thomas nroso
with a faith worthy of "his Lord and his
God." Ile would not suffer ovou the lie of
Peter to shake his conviction that Peter might
love him yet; and Peter answered to that
sublime forgiveness. His last prayer was ex
tenuatioo and hopo for the raoo who. badi re
jootcd him j, nnd tho kingdoms of this world
are becoming his own. H*o. lofted us ; God
knows why, I do not ; and we, all unworthy
though we be, respond faintly to thai love,
and try to bo what ho would havo us.
