mm ?? ??--?-s-a_ 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."
