a New Acquaintance.

II would be q curious history coild we tell

4 few days since, 1 was sitting in the store
of friend, engaged in conversation, when
suddenly there leaped upon the counter lit
tie bright-iaced fellow whom I had never seen
before. He came down with ringing sort
Of laugh, and in his gladness actually bound
ed two or three leaps upon the counter.
Very politely my friend introduced me to
him, and I soon saw that he was deaf and
dumb. But his face was so bright and fresh,
that he could hardly think ofhis situation,
"This is Mr.. Penny sir, who hasjust arriy-
ed in town"
"AIr. Penny Why I have seen uiany Of
that name. They are modest, quiet family,
and great favorites with children"
'How is that, sir2'
"I suppose it Is because they are so gener-
Gus, and are often givihg candies and apples;
and such things to children. But this one
seems different from any have ever met with
before. Let me see. He has a kind of double
face, and what is no less curious, he has words
stamped on eachl On one face, 7 see n
beautiful shield, laid upon two arrows and a
vine hung over it, and the words In God zee

The Wandering Jew.

TINS legend is the foundation Of Croly's Sa-
lahiel. and we know not of how many other
romances. Dr. J. 0. Noyes hes recently
brought out a volume entitled, The Border
Land of the Christian and the Turk, " in which
he gives, protessedly, the literal version is it
exists among the Musselmen:
A wild and terrible legend is that of the
middle ages, which personifed the Jewish
nation by the traits of the Wandering jew
1t represents an old man with naked ieet,
uncovered head, and long white beard, wan
dering ceaselessly over the earth. His fac2 is
pale A mark Of blood is upon his forehead
His eyes burn ike saphires between their
oblique lids With an eagle-Tke nose and
blood-like eyes, squalid and harsh is his fea-
lures, and clad in a coarse woolen gown, lie
ever pursues his interminable journey Spea-
king all languages and trayersing all lands
knowing not the purposes Of God concerning
himself, and ever driven onward by a 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 yigor of youth, in
order that be may complete the weary round
OF ages.
The people wonder as he hastens past
Once or twice only has he paused to tell his
story. He was of the Jewish nation; Ahas-
uerus by name, and a shoemaker by trade
Dwelling in Jerusalem, he prosecuted our Sa-
viour, and was of those who cried "OTucify
him" The sentence Of death having been
pronounced, he ran to his house, before which
Jesus was to pass on the way to Calvary
Taking his child in his arms, he stood at the
door, with all his family to behold the process
sion. Our Saviour, weighed down by the
heavy burden Of the Cross, leaned for mo,
ment againt the wall and the Jew, to man
iiest his zeal, cruelty struck the innocent one
and pointing 10 the place Of execution, bndt
him go on. Then Jesus turning to the un,
feeling child OF Israel; said:
Thou retusstb rest to the sol OF God:

Mirthfulness.

The power of discovering comic
point, of approaching a humorous hit,
and enjoying the fun of d droll position,
is not a gift to be despised 1t is not a
vain, silly, or unbecOming thing, as some
mOping owls and grave billiards suppose.
1t Is, indeed, like all human faculties,
liable to abuse, and capable Of being per=
verted to evil; but it is essentially good
gift, aud ought to be turned to the good
account of which it is susceptible, and to
manifest itself in the increase of the
cheerfulne5s and happiness, and the af-
feetiOn of social and family life.
We might go further. We might say,
and adduce much evidence to support the
proposition, that as humor is discerned
only by those who can, to soma extent,
catch the feeling and spirit of humor, is
one phase or department of sympathy,
and thus the springs Of mirthfulness and
of kindness are not far distant; and many
home, amid the alterations Of JOY and
so-row that larken or brighten the course
Of life, has found an ever-hesh gladness
in the comic vein and jocund humof of
some mirthful member of the family.
Many of the best men We have ever
known-the best in the highest sense of
the term-with the best heads and tke
best hearts, have been men who thorough
ly appreciated and highly enjoyed true
humor.-NorM British Revie1g.

NY PSALM.
BY JOHN eREENLEAF WHITTIER.


mourn no more my vanished years;
Beneath tender rain,
An April rain Of smiles and tears,
My heart is young again.
The west winds blow, and singing low,
hear the glad streams run;
The windows Of my soul throw
Wide open TO the sun
10 longer forward nor behind
1 look in hope or fear;
But, grateful, take the good ind,
The best Of now and here
Plow no more a desert land,
To harvest weed and tare;
The mama dropping from Gods hand,
Rebukes my painful care.
I break my pilgrim staff, lay
Aside the toiling oar;
The angel sought SO far away
welcome 70 my door,
The airs Of Spring may never play
Among the ripening corn.
80 freshness of the flowers OF May
Blow through the Autumn morn -
Yet shall the blue-eyed gentian look
Through fringed lids to heaven,
And the pale sster in the brook
Shall see its image given.
The woods shall wear their robe Of praise,
The south wind softly sigh,
And sweet, calm days in golden haze,
Melt down the amber sky.
Not less shall manly deed and word
Rebuke an age Of wrong;
The craven flowers that wreathe the sword
Make net the blade less strong.
But shifting hands shall learn to heal,
To build as to destroyy
Nor less my heart for Others feel,
That the more enjoy.
All as God wills, who wisely heeds
To give or to withhold,
And knoweth more Of all my needs
Than all my prayers have told.
Enough, that blessings uudeserved
Have marked my erring track
That wheresoe'eF MY feet have swerved,
Ills chastening turned me back,
That more and more Providence
OflOye is understood,
Making the springs Of time and sense
Sweet with eternal good.
That death seems but a covered way
Which opens into Hight
Wherein no blinded child can stray
Beyond the Fathers sight.
That care and trial seem at last
Through memory's sunset air,
Like mountain ranges overcast,
In purple distance fair.
That all the jarring notes ofIfe
Seem blending in a psalm,
And all the angles Of its strife,
Slow rounding into calm.
And SO the shadows fall apart,
And so the west winds play,
And all the windows Of my heart.
open to the day.
