The Wandering Jew.

The legend Of the Jew ever wandering,
and never dying, even from the crucifix-
ion Of Jesus to the present day, is spread
over many European countries The ac-
counts, however, as in all fable, do not
agree. One version is this: When Je-
sus was led to death, oppressed by the
weight Of the cross, He wished to rest
Himself near the gate at the house of Alias
uerus. The man, however, sailed forth
and thrust Him away. Jesus turned to-
wards him, saying: Il shall rest; but
thou shalt move on till I return" And
from that time he has no rest, and obliged
necessarily to wander about. Another
version is that given by Matthew OF Paris,
monk of the sixteenth century: When
Jesus was led from the tribunal of PLATE
to death, the door-keeper, named Car
taf1ious, pushed Him from behind with
his foot, saying: walk on, Jesus,
quickly why dost Thou tarry?" Jesus
looked at him gra7ely and said: II walk
on, but thou shalt tarry till I come And
this man, still alive, wanders from place
to place in constant dread of the wrath
to come. A third legend adds that this
wandering Jew falls sick every haadred
years, but RECEIVERS and renews his strength
hence it is that, after SO many centuries,
he does not look older than a septuagenar-
ian. Thus much for the legends. Not
one of the ancient authors allude to this
wandcrer. The first who reports such a
thing is monk of the thirteenth century,
when, as is known, the world was full of
pioas frauds. even to disgust However,
the story has spread far and wide, so that
it has become proverb, ''He runs about
like wandering jew"

Love of Married Life.

Affection that links together man and
wife is far more Lolier and more endur-
ing passion than young love. 1t may want
in gorgcousness-it may want in magma
tive character, but it is far richer in holy
trusting attributes. Talk not to us of tn
absence of love in welded life! What be-
cause man has ceased to "sigh like a
furnace" are we to believe the FIRE is ex-
tinct? No, it but burns with steadier
fame shedding benign influence upon ex-
istence Million times more precious and
delightful than the cold dreams of phylos-
ophy.

Don't be Above Your Business.


We do not know that the following an
ecdote, told of John Jacob Astor, is true,
but, truth or fiction, the moral it embodies:
is not the less apparent, and we give it for
the wholesome lesson it conveys: 1.ea
DO you ever credit, Mr.. Astor p in,
quired Mr. K. "a
Il do not credit strangers. sir, was the.
reply, ''unless they furnish satisfactory
city references 5<f K
"Then," quoth Mr. K, ''tne skins I
have selected must suffice this time" and.
paying for the same he departed.
In the afternoon of the same day, just
before the sailing of the New Bedford
packet, the young trader returned for his
lots of furs. Throwing the whole pack
upon his back, he left the store, but had
not proceeded dozen yards from the store !,
when Mr.. Astor called his name, bidding
him come back. ,5ii rs.
Sir" said Mr.. Astor, <'you can have
credit for any amount of goods you require,
provided they are to be found in my store -
''But-' stammered Mr.. K, ''but my
dear sir, can give you no city reference
Ina stranger here" aes
II ask 20 other recommendation" re-
sponded the rich merchant, ethan that al
ready furnished by yourself. The man
that is not above his business need never
hesitate to apply to John Jacob Astor. "
Thus commenced trade between two
merchants, which was continued to the
satisfaction and advantage of both of the
most eminent capitalists Of New Bedford

The Value of u Newspaper.

DR.. Franklin remarks that man as Of
ten gets two dollars for the one he spends
in informing his mind, as he does for a dol
lar be lays out in any other way. A man
eats pound of sugar and it is gone, and
the pleasure he has enjoyed is ended, but the
information he gets from a newspaper is
treasured upto be enjoyed anew, and to
be used whenever occasion or inclination
calls for it. A newspaper is not the wis
dom of one man or two men, it is the
wisdom Of the age, and of past ages, too.
A family without newspaper IS always a
year behind the times in general infor-7
nation besides, they can never think
much nor find much to think about. And
then there are the little ones growing up
without any taste for reading. Who, then,
would be without a newspaper, and who
would read one regularly without paying
for it

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES end that God has in
permitting his people to be tempted is for
the prevention of great evils, that they
may not grow proud or careless, or be en-
shared by the corrupt customs ofthe world.
The light carriage, vain confidence. and
conduct of many protested Christians,
might have been, in some measure, pre-
vented. had they been more acquainted
with his spiritual warfare. and they drank
OF the cup of temptation, which but few
of those walk humbly and uprightly are
exempted from tasting the bitterness of,

BY HIRAM P. GOODRICH.
When from this glowing heart
It's pulse has fed,
Its life strings torn apart,
And | am dead
TO watt my soul away,
Let some pure spirit pray,
And sing parting lay,
Around my bed.
And when my corse is borne
Upon the bier,
By the cold world who mourn
Without a tear
Toll not the funeral bell,
The worlds adieu to tell
One sigh would be a knell,
Far, far more dear.
I have no friends to weep
Around the spot,
Where my remains shall sleep,
And be forgot
But should my Helen dare
To trust her footsteps there,
Oh bid the weeping fair,
Forget me not.
