flames of falling Jerusalem, and attempts
to bury himself beneath the crumbling ru-
ms of Rome; but IN win. Flying from
cities and men, the wandcrcr seeks the
solitary places of the earth. lie climbs
the mounta1ns; passing beyond the region
of verdure and dashing torrents, his feet
tread the seas Of amethyst and opal
Above him are only peaks, shroudcd IN
eternal mists. The daring eagle scars not
so high. There are no sounds save the
cracking Of the glaciers. The soul seems
almost to touch the heavens above
There, surely, the Wandering jew shall
rest! No. A pursuing angel unshcaths
a sword of flaming fire, and 10 the wan
dcrer beholds at once in the heavens the
drama of the cruciiixion. The way from
earth to heaven is stored with myriadS of
celestial beings, radiant with light. Be-
fore him are all the martyrs and saints
and sagcs who have ever lived and died.
For moment he gazes upon the vision,
and turns away chased by the sword Of
flame and demons offriShtful form. Then
he again wandcrs over the Garth, ever
with five pieces of copper in his pocket,
ever with the mark Of blood upon his
forehead. - Maddened with the agony of
life, he throws himself into the crater Of
.Etna, but the boiling liquid and sulphu-
rous flames burn him not. The floods Of
lava vomit him forth, for his hour has not
yet come. -EtHbarkiRg upon the sea, the
wind raises its surface into mountain
wavcs-thc vessel divides, and all perish
save the Wandering jew. Too light to
sink in the ocean, its waves cast him upon
the hated shore. lie plungcs into hun
drcd bloody conflicts, without sword a.
shield. All in vain. The lcadcn balls
rain harmlessly upon him; battlc-axcs
and scimctars glance from his charmed
body. Where mounted squadrons fight
with the fury Of demons, he casts himself
under the feet of the horscmcn and is un-
harmed, so rivited are his soul and body
together. lie says to Nero, "Th0u art
drunk with blood;" to Christian and Mus

RCD Goats Va. Red shirts.

At convivial party ut which Mr.. Web
stor and several distinguished lawyers
were present, the conversation happening
to turn on tho legal profession, Mr.. Web
stCr related the following story:
When wasa young practitioner, said
Mr.. Webster, there was but one man at
the New Hampshire bar Of whom was
afraid, and that was old Barnaby. There
were but few men who dared enter tho
list with him. On one occasion Barnaby
was employed to defend a suit for piece
Of land, brought by little, grabbed, cum
ming lawyer, named Bruce. Rrucc's case
was looked upon as lost, when it was as
ccrtained that Barnaby was retained
against him. The suit came on for trial,
and Barnaby found that Bruce had worked
hard and left no stone unturncd to gain
the victory. The testimony for the plain
tiff was very strong and, unless it could
be impCachcd, the case of the defendant
was lost.
The principal witness introduced by
the plaintiff wore rcd coat. In summing
UP the evidence old Barnaby commenced
furious attack upon this witness, pulling
his testimony all TO pieces, and appealing
to the jury, ifa man who wore red coat
was under any circumstances to be be-
licvcd. And who is this relocated wit
ness exclaimed Barnaby, but descend
ant of our common enemy, who has strivCn
to take from us our liberty, and would
not hesitate now to deprive my poor client
Of his land, by making any sort of red
coated statement.
During this speech Bruce was walking
up and down the bar, greatly excited, and
half convinced that his case was gone,
knowing as he did the prejudice Of the
jury against anything British, While
however, Barnaby was gcSticulating and
leaning forward to the jury in his eloquent
appeal, his shirt bosom slightly opened,
and Bruce accidcntly discovered that
Barnaby wore red undcrShirt.
Brucc's countcnancc frightened up
Putting both hands into his coat pockets,
he walked to the bar with great confidence,
to the astoniShment Of his client and all
lockers ON. just as Barnahy concluded,
Bruce whispered in his clients cur, Eve
got him--your case is safe; and, mp
preaching the jury, he commenced his re-
ply to the slaughtcring arguments of his
adversary.
Bruce gave n regular history Of tho
ancestry Of his rcd,coat witness, provok-
ing his patriotism and devotion To his
country, and his character for truth and
vcracity. But what, gentlemen Of the
jury broke forth Bruce, in loud strain
of eloqucncc, while his eyes flashed fire,
what are you to expect of II man who
stands here to defend cause based on nc
foundation of right and justice whatever
of man who undertakes to destroy our
testimony on the ground that my witness
wears red coat, when, gentlemen of th,
jury when, when, gentlemen of the
4iury'-horo- bruce made a spring ana
catching Barnaby by the bosom of the
shirt, tore it open, displaying his rcd tlan
nell when Mr.. Barnaby himself wears Q
red flannel shirt concealed under q blue
one" The effect was electrical; Barnahy
was beaten at his own game, and Bruce
gained the case.

The Legend sf She Wandering Jew.

A wild and terrible legion is that of the
Middle Ages, which pcrsonificd the jew
ish nation by the traits of the Wandering
Jew. It represents an old man, with ma
ked feet, uncovered head, and long, white
beard, wandering ccaselessly over the
earth. His face is pale, q mark of blood
Is upon his forehead, his eyes burn like
saphires beneath their oblique lids. With
An eagle-like nose, and bloodless lips,
squalid and harsh in features, and clad in
. coarse woolen gown, he ever pursues,
with staff in hand, his intcrminable Jour-
ney. Speaking all languages, and tra-
versing ell lands, knowing not the pur-
pose Of God concerning himself, and ever
driven onward by secret impulse, he is
transported from place to place with the
speed of the wind and as the long centu-
ries come successfully to a close, his old
age renews itself with the vigor of youth,
IN order that he may complete the weary
round of ages. The people wonder as he
hastens past. Once o.. twice only has he
paused to tell his story. lie was of the
Jewish nation, Ahasuercs by name. and o
shoemaker by trade. Dwelling in Jerusa-
lem. he persecuted our Savior, and was
one of those who cried "Crucify him :"
The sentence Of death, having been pro-
nounced, he ran to his house before which
Jesus was to pass on the way to Cal
vary. Taking his child in his arms, he
stood ct the door with all his family
to behold the procession. Our Savior,
weighed down by the heavy burden of
the cross, leaned for moment against the
wall; and the Jew, to show his zeal,
struck the innocent one with cruel blows,
and pointing to the place Of execution,
bade him go now. Then Jesus, turning
to the unfeeling child of Israel, said:
.'Thou refuseth rest to the Son of God;
60, for 1t must needs be;
But for thee there shall be no rest
Or repOse until return.
Go forth on thy long journey;
Leave thine own traverse mountains and seas,
~ Pausing neither in the cities nor the deserts,
Nowhere-nOt even in the tomb.
As an example to the Universe, and bearing d
Everywhere the heavy weight Of my curse,
Much shalt thou long for death thy dcliverance,
But shalt not die until the day Ofjudgment."
He assists at the crucifxion, and then
goes forth mysterious stranger, whose
feet shall become familiar with all lands.
How, age after age, he longs for the
sweets of death and repose of the tomb
But in spite of death he must live on; his
dust shall not mingle with that of his an

General JncksoM's Toilet.

The genial temper of President Buch-
anan, his easy, pleasant manners and
racy conversation, have always rendered
him a great favoritc in society abroad as
well as at home, and few Of our public
men have laid up such stock ofamusing
and valuable "reminiscences. There is
one anccdote which he tells ofGen. Jack
son, which is so characteristic of the old
hero that it is worth preserving. The Pres
ident relates that one day during the adj
ministration of old Hickory, he went to
the White House to ask permission to
present to him the celebrated Miss Betsy
Cation. General jackson readily assem-
ted, and named next day for the inter-
view. At the appointed hour Mr.. Buch-
anan repaired with his fair charge to the
Presidential mansion, and leaving the Ia
dy in one of thL drawing rooms he noun
ted to the private cabinet of the Presi-
dent. To his great surprise and disap-
pointment, he found tho general in his
books and papers, and attircd in plain
morning dress, his chin pnshavcd and
his favorite pipe in his mouth. The Sem
ator from Pennsylvania was gloriously
embarrassed. He was apprehcnsivc that
if he announced Miss Caton's presence,
the gallant veteran would descend all in
negligc as he was. Mr.. Buchanan did
not like to expose the renowned belle to
such shock as that, and on the other
hand, he equally dreaded offering sug-
gestiOn on the subject to tile fiery old
war horse. There was no. alternative,
however, and he had to state that Miss
Cation was waiting the Generals pres
encc in the green drawing room. Up
jumped Old Hickory at the first word and
laid down his pipe. There was not a mo-
ment to be lost, so Mr. Buchanan, in a
timid and apologetic manner. vcnturcd to
say that "thc lady could vely well wait
till the President had shaved himself" :"
The General saw very well what he was
driving at, and shook his frizzly head at
him like the name of an cnFagcd lion.-
buchanan" thundcrcd out'thc old man,
"did,you ever hear of the man in Ken
lucky who got rich by minding his own
business ?" Without stopping to say
whether he was acquainted with the re-
markable individual in question. the OK
pcrienced Senator fled from the storm
and took refuge with his lovely compan-
ion down stairs. In few minutes after
wards the hero of New Orleans entered
the room with that dignity of manner
which no man knew better how to as
sumo; and great was Mr.. Buchanan's re-
lief to find that not only was his face
quite vilgenal in its smoothncss, but that
he had got up in his best black suit, with
boots Of Galtless radiance.
