Thc Wandering JOWCH. ET JANE T. H. GROSS, II "On?e CTery hundred years th? Wander-', ing Jew and the Wandering Jeweas, api proaoh Behring's Strait, and, kneeling, vainly Btretch forth their arma over the water toward each other."-OW Legend. Once more a hundred years have paused, onco moro; A hundred years with all thou* toil and pain; Once moro I kneel upon this icy shore, And reach my arms to theo, but roach in vam; I wait, BO wearily, I wait; One pressure of thy baud I crave; Between na rolls tho sullen wave - The cruel wave of Behring's Strait. I've strayed .through forest green and blooming dell, Havo heard the gladsome children at their play, Havo seen collected round tho ancient well Young men and maidens at the close of day; And on I've walked by gato and stile, Nor rested 'neath the shady tree, Where all might rest-yes, all but me; But on I'vo walked through many a mile. I've gorle through scenes of revel, mad and wild, Have passed unheeded through the city's din, Have paused with envy by the dying child, And threaded haunts of waut, andcriuie, and sin; Then on I've walked by hall and hut, Nor wept with these, nor smiled with those; - - Alone I boro my weight of woes, For every heart was closely shut. I've Been the foolish fears that mortals shed Tho tear ia dried, the little life is past; They sleep, oh, God! so calmly midst tho dead! Why weep for woes which novor long may last? While wrecks of years around mo lie, I shed no tear;" I H till walk on Aye, centuries have come and gone, But on I walk with tearless eye. Tve lived and lived, and weary am of lifo Would it might cease-this maddening monotone! Thie everlasting war of sin and.strife, Thia suffering with ita never ending moan; And still moro tiresome ia the mirth, The senseless joy, tho giddy dance, On which the ceuturieB advance, And trample them unto the earth. And what are friends? Full fifty ageB gone I bad a friend whoso life was twined with mine; Her presence. like a star about me shone, Her love WAB liko the fragrant breath of wine; But abo was happy, for she died Hore than a thousand years ago; And Ht ill I feel the fatal blow That took her, blooming, from my side. I seek her grave-men say I must be orazod; They laugh and jeer whene'er I ask the spot; The very city where she lived is razed, Its towers, ita walls, its aite are all forgot. Hy pretty babes so full of gloe Aro dead-I know not where they lie; I say thia with a tearless eye; "They used to play about my knee." None joy or grieve to Bee mo oome or go, No sympathizing glance recalls the past; Thia deathless life-this never-ending woe; Ah, may I hope that it shall end at last? I can t grow old, I cannot die, I range and still forever rango, I tire of change that is no change, And look on all with vacant eye. And only thou canst understand my dirge, Thou wanderer, too, npon tho tcemiug earth; Once in a hundred years our pathB con? verge This is our death, and this another birth Surrounded by eternal snows, Where icebergs lift their awful head, We, deathless stand where all is dead, And Behring's flood between us flows. Thine arms are also reaching forth to me, Aa mine to thee, and all aliko in vain; Between us mils tho unfathomable sea There is no sympathy, but only pain. Above the separating wave Our wild and half-despairing cries Ascend and penetrate the skies, And ask this only boon-a grave! Thc Two Merchant*. I. When trade grew slack and notes fell due, the merchant's face grew long and blue; his dreams were trouble through the night, with sheriff's bailiffs all in sight. At lust his wife unto him said: Bise up at once, get out of bed, and get your paper, ink and pen, nnd say these -words unto all men : My goods I wish to sell to you, and to your wives and daughters, too; my prices they shall be so low, that each will buy before they go. He did as his good wife advised, and in the "papers advertised." Crowds came and bought of all he had; his notes were paid, his dreams made glad; and he will tell to you this day, how well did printer's ink repay. He told us this with a know? ing wink, how he was saved by prin? ter's ink. The other in a place as tight, con? tented was the press to slight; and did not let tho people know, of what he did or where to go. His drafts fell due and were not paid, and a levy on his goods was made; the store was closed nu t il tho sale, and for some time ho was in jail. A bank? rupt now without n cont, at leisure ho can deep repent, that he was foolish and unwise, and did not freely ad? vertise. Ii you think tho moral of this story wise, yon should not neglect to advertise. The Aiken Democratic Club re? commends the formation of Demo? cratic clubs composed conclusively ol colored men, but do not accept the action of tho Columbia Convention respecting partial negro suffrage.
