The LEGEND OF THE WANDERING JEw.--A wild
and terrible legend is that OF the middle ages,
which personihed the Jewish nation by the traits
of the Wandering jew 1t represents an old
man. with naked feet uncovered head and long
white beard, wandering carelessly over the
earth. His face is pale, mark of blood is up
on his forehead, his eyes burn like sapphires
beneath their oblique lids. With an eagle-like
nose, and blood-like lips, squalid and harsh in
feature and clad in coarse wooden gown, he
ever pursues with staff in hand his intermin-
able journey, speaking all languages and tray
ersing all lands knowing not the purposes Of
God concerning himself, and ever driven on
ward by q secret impulse, he is transported from
place to place with the speed of the wind; and
as the long centuries 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 or twice only has he stop
ped to tell his story. He was of the Jewish ma
tion. Ahasueras by name, and shoemaker by
trade, dwelling in Jerusalem, he prosecuted our
Saviour, and was of those who cried "crucify
himl" The sentence of death having been pro-
nounced, he ran to his house, before which Je-
sus was to pass on his way to Calvary. Taking
his children in his arms, he stood at the door
with oil his family to behold the procession
Our Saviour, weighed down by the heavy bur-
den of the Cross leaned for moment against
the wall and the Jew, to show his ZEAL struck
the Innocent One, with cruel blows, and, point
ing to the place of execution, babe him go on.
Then Jesus turned to the unfeeling child of Is
ael and pronounced his doom of deathless inn
mortality, and babe him wander to and fro in
the earth, seeking the rest and sanctuary of the
grave and finding none else, forever and ever.

The Bachelors Dream.

A bachelor sat at his blazing CRATE,
And he fell into a snooze,
And he dreamed DER his wrlnkled pate
Had been thrown the nuptial moose.
4 rosy boy came to his side,
And bounding on his knee
And back from his beaming face he shook
Fair curIs in childish glee.
Then clear rang out his childish voice,
As he shouted aloud-"Papa,
/ don't love anybody else;
But you and dear mama"
Oh the bachelors heart ran DER with joy,
So long by love unlit,
And from It's unseen depths poured out
Affection infinite.
Outstretching arms Of strength unshorn
He hugged--his oldt0m cat,
Which, as twas wont when master snoozed,
Had leaped into his lap.

THE PoEr RoGERs.--Roger's own version Of
his nearest approximation to the nuptual tie,
was that, when young man, he admired and
sedulously sought the society of the most beau
tiful girl he then and still thought he had ever
seen. AT the end of the London season at a
ball, she said, ~ go tomorrow to Worthington.
Are you coming there?" Rogers did not go.
Some few months afterwards, being at Ranelagh,
he saw the attention of every one drawn towards
ID large party that had just entered, in the center
Of which was a lady on the arm of her husband.
Stepping forward to see this wonderful beauty,
he found it was his love. She merely said :
"You never came to Worthington,"

Good news from home, good news ior me,

From friends that ] have left IN tears
From friends that I've not seen for years /;
And since we parted, long ago,
NV life has been scene Of wo
But now a joyful hour has come,
For | have heard good news from home.
No father's near to guide me now,
No mothers tear to soothe my brow,
No sisters voice falls on my ear,
No brothers. voice to give me cheer
But though wander far away,
NV heart Is full Of joy to-day,
For friends across the ocean foam
Have sent me good news from home.
When shall ! see that cottage door,
Where Pve spent years ofjoy beforeS

Ny heart was always happy there
Though may never see It more,
Or stand upon my native shore,
Where'er on earth Pm doomed to roam,
My heart will always cling to home.

A CARD FROM DR.. j. C. Y0UNG'S PRIVATE MEDICAL
IA OFFICE-To the atficted.-In this age of progress
when science is almost miraculous everything in
place is looked upon not worth notice In view OF this
fact Dr. Young CORNER of Montgomery and California SITS
up stairs has concluded to leave the beaten track hther
to pursued by most scientific physicians hat of waiting
for the public to find you alone and publish to the world
much may be- his knowledge of the healing art to let
those who in need of assistance know where they
find relief without fear Of being imposed upon.
In continuation of this subject, Dr. Young would say,
that for the past ten years he has pursued the practice of
medicine in of the largest cities in the United States
with the highest success and that his standing physi
clan without reproach having at time been lecturer
at the University Of Pennsylvania venera diseases
Upon these considerations Dr. Young has confidence in
introducing himself to the public knowing that they will
sustain well earned merit.
The following few Of the many testimonials which
have appeared in the public journals within the last few
years:

Although opposed to the system OF advertising,
