the mmm VISITOR.
It was at tlic cleio of a fine autumnal
tfky, ttn.l tl.e shades of ( veiling \v< n be
ginning to gallmr over t! e city of l-’iur
cnce, wiien a low quick rap was board
at tfie door of Cornelius A;; 1 ippa, ami
shortly afterward a Strai gi r was intro
duced into the apartment in which the
Philosopher was sitting at his studies.
The Stranger, although finely I fined,
and of courteous d* meaner, had n cer
tain indi finable air of tjiyslery a! mil
him,which excited awe, if, indci <l, i! hud
not a repel'ant effect. 11 s years it wu ■
difficult to gums, for the marks of y nth
and age were blended in Ins t. turns n
a {most extraordinary manner. Thun
was not a furrow in Ids ctc-ek, i r a
wrinkle on bis brow, and hi. lug * black
eye lx anted with ail the b iflituicy and
vivacity of youth; but his stately fig me
was bent, appaieutly beneath the u. ighl
oi years; his hair, although thick and
clustering, was pray; and though hi.
voice was feel le and tremulous, yet its
tones were of the m st ravishing- ami
soul searching melody. Ills (slime
was that of a Florentine gentleman; but
jie held a staff like that of a Palmer in
hr* hand, and a snken sash, inscribed
with oriental characters, was bound
around his waist. 1! - face was .!* ad \
pale, but i very feature of it was singe
lifly beautiful, and it* expression was
that of profound wisdom, mmgT-d with
poignant sorrow.
“Pardon me, learned Sir,” said he, ad
dressing the philosopher, “but your
fiuno has traveled into ai! lands, and has
Machod all ears; and I could not leave
Florence without seeking an interview
with one who is its greatest boast un i
ornament."
“You arc right welcome, Sir,” return
ed Agrippa; but I fear that your tx -übh
and curiosity will ho but ill repaid. 1
am biniply one, who, instead of devoting
my days, as do the wise, to the acquire
ment of wealth and horn r, have passed
long yt ars in painful and unprofitable
study, in endeavoring to unravel lilt
secrets of Nature, and initiating mysell
in the mysteries of the occult s i i.ci s.”
“Talkcst thou of long years !” echoed
the Strut ger, and a nn laneholy .-mile
played over his features: “thou who
hast scarcely seen fourscore since thou
left at thy cradle, and for whom Ike qui
et grave is now waiting, tiger to cl isp
thee jn her sheltering arms! I was
among the tombs of today, the still at.fi
Solemn limbs: I saw them smiling in
the last beams of the sotting sun. When
l was a boy, I used to wish to be like
that sun; his career was so long, so
bright, so glorious! But tonight 1
thought ‘is it better to slumber among
those tombs than to be like him.’ To
night he sank behind the liil's, ap; a
rently to repose, but to-morrow he must
renew his course, and run the same dull
and unvaried, but toils.,me and unquiet
race. There is uo grave for him! and
the night aid morning dews are the
tears that he sheds over his tyranous
destiny.’
Agrippa was a deep observer ar.d
admirer of external nature and of ail t < .
phenomena, and bad often gazed upon
the scene which the stranger described,
but the feelings and ideas which it a
wakeced in the mind of ihe latter w rt-
SO different from anything which he had
himself experienced, that he could n*-t
help, for a. scan n, gazing up n lim in
(.pecs’iijcss wonder. His guest, howev
er, speedily resumed the discourse.
‘But I trouble you, I trouble you:
then to my pnrprse in making you tan
visit. I have heard strange tal. -of a
wondrous Mir r, which your p -teat an
has cuabkd y.,u to construct, in wh.ch
whosoever looks may see the distant,
or ti.e dead, (n whom he is desirous
again to fix ids g'azo. My eyes see noth
ing in this ontwaid visible world which
can be pleasing to their s : ghl;the grave
has closed over all l loved; and time ;
has carried down its stream everything !
which contributed to my enj >ymcut.
The world is a vale of tears; but among
all the tears which water that sad vnb
ley, not one is shed for we! the fountain
in my own lmart, too, is dried up. 1
would once again look upon the lace 1 I
loved; 1 would see that eye mere bright, j
and that step move stately, than the an
telope’s; tha.t brow, the broad smooth j
j page en which G<-d had inscribed his:
| fairest characters. I would gaze oil all ;
I loved, and all I lost. Such a gaze,
would be dearer to my heart than all
that the world has to offer me; except
the grave ! except the grave’
The passionate pleading of the {Stran
ger had such an eff ct upon Agrippa,
who w as not used to exhibit his m-iae-le
of art to tl.e eyes of all who and. sired to
look iu it; although he was olten
tempted by exhorbitant piesonts and
high honors to do so, that lie readily
consented to grant the request of Ills
extraordinary visitor.
‘Whom wouldVt thou see?’ lie inqui
re and.
‘My child 1 my own sweet Miriam 1
answered the Stranger.
Cornelius immediately caused every
ray of the light of heaven to be excluded j
1 in the chamber, placed the Stranger
in his tight hand, nud commenced chan
ting, in a low, soft tone, and in a strange
language, some lyrie.il versi s, to which
tl e Stranger thought lie heard oecasion
: ally a response; but it was a sound so
faini and indistinct, that he hardly knew
| whether it existed any where but. in his
1 own fancy. As Cornelius- continued Ids
chant, the room gradually became idu
niinati and, but whence the light proceed
ed it w s impossible to discover. At
length the Stranger plainly perceived a
large Mirror, which covered the whole
of the extreme end of the apartment,
and ovi r tin- surface if which a dense
haze, or cloud, set med to be rapidly
passing.
‘Died sin- in wedlock’s holy band.-?’
Inqni; ed Goiui lies,.
‘She was a virgin, spotless as the
snow.’
‘IT*.-w many years have passed away
since the grave closed over her?’
A cloud gathered on the Stranger’s
brow, and he answered somewhat im
patiently, ‘Many, many! more than I
have time to number.’
‘Nay,’said Agrippa, ‘but I must know,
for every ten y -ars that have elapsed
since la r death once must 1 wave this
wand; and when I have waved it for the
| last lime you will see her figure in 3on
I minor ’
'Wave on, then,’ said the Stranger,
I an.l groan' and bitterly, ‘wave on; and
j take Ined that then t>e not weary.’
Cornelius Agiinpa gar, and on his
! strange guest with something of anger,
but he excused Ids want oi courtesy, on
the ground ol the probable < stent sf bis
calamities. He then waved his magic
wand many times, but, to his consterna
tion, it seemed to liavo lest its virtue
Turning again to the Stranger, he ex
claimed, 'Who, and wl at art thou, man?
Thy presence troubles me. According
to all tl e mb's of my art, this wand has
already dtscribed twice two hundred
years: still has the surface of the mir
ror experienced no alteration. Say,
dost thou mock me, and did no sue!:
poison ever exist as thou hast described
to me?’
‘Wave or:, wave on! ’ was the st: rn
| and only r< p’y which this interrogatory
J ext: acted from the Stranger,
The curiosity nf Agrippa, alihu’ he

I now tube excited, and a mysterious
: feeling of awe, forbade him to desist
| from waving this wand, much as he
i deuhti and the sincerity of his visitor. As
ids arm grew slack, lie heard the deep
solemn tones of the Stranger, exclaim -
! ing, ‘Wave on, wave on!’ and at length,
; after Ids wand, according to the calcu
; lalions of his art, had described a period
' of nearly fifteen hundred years, the cloud
' cleared away from the surface of the
i mim r, and the Stranger, with an excla
mation of delight, arose, and gazed lap
j turously upon the scene which was there
i represented.
| An exquisitely rich and romantic, pros
| pect was before him: in the distance
j arose lofty mountains crowned with cc- !
| dars; a rapid stream rolled in ihe centre, I
j and in the- foreground were seen camels
j glazing; a rill trickling by, in which i
I some sheep were quenching their thirst:
| and a lofty palm tree, beneath whose
! shade a young female of exquisite bean
-1 ly, and richly habited in the costume of
i the East, was sheltering herself from
! the lays of the noontide sun.
I "Tis she! ’tis she!’ shouted the Stran
ger, and lie was rushing towards the
mirror, but was prevented by Cornelius j
| who said,—
‘Forbear, ra.- h man, to q it this spot!

toward* the mirror,, the image will he- j.
come fainter, and shouldst thou ap J
preach too near, it will entirely vanish ’ j
Thus warned, he resumed Iris station, j
hut his agitation was so excessive, that
he was obliged to lean on the arm of the
philoaipher for support; while, frojn
tiuietn time, he uttered incoherent ex
pressions of wonder, delight and lamen
tation .
“T is she! ’tis she! even as she looked
while living! How beautiful alic is!
Miriam, my child! eans-t thou not speak
to me? By Heaven, she moves! she
smiles! Oli! speak to me a single word!
or only breathe or sigh! Alas! all’s si
lent; dull and desolate as this cold heart!
Again that smile! that smile, the re
membrance of which a thousand years
have not been able to freeze up in uiy
heart! Old man, it is in vaiu to Hold
me! I must, will clasp her!'’
As be utterrd these last words, lie
rudu-J frantically towards tiie mirror;
the scene represented within it faded
away; the cloud gathered again over its
su face, and the Stranger sank sense
less to the earth!
When he recovered his consciousness,
lie found himself iu the arms of Agrippa,
who was chafing his temples and gazing
on him with looks of fear and wonder,
tie immediately i\ so on his feet, with
restored strength, and, pressing the
hand of his h st, he su'd. ‘Thanks,
thanks for thy courtesy tied thy kind
mss, and fur the sweet but painful sight
which thou hast presented to my eyes.’
As he spake these words, he nut a
| purse into the hand- of Cornelius, but
; the latter returned it, saving, ‘Nay,
| nay, keep thy gold, friend. I Know not
j indeed, that a Christian man dare take
; it; but, be t tat aa it may, I shall {esteem
myself sufficiently repaid, if tlmu will
i tell cio who thou art.’
j ‘Behold!’ said the Stranger, pointing
!oa large liist*-r cal picture which bung
on the left baud of the room.
* ‘I see,’{said the philosopher, ‘an cx
■ quisit work of art, the production of
! *me of our best and earliest ai ti -ts, rep
j icseiit ng our Savior carrying his cross.’
j 'But look again!' sui t the Strangei,
I fixing-his keen dark eyes intently on
j liitp, and pointing to a figure on the left
| Inn,;*! of the picture.
j Cornelius gazed, and saw with wonder
! w ! *at lie had not observed before, the
extraordinary resemblance which this
j figure bore to the stranger,of whom, in
j deed, it might lie said to-be a portrait,
i ‘Tluit,’said Cornelius, with an ( motion
Sos horror, ‘is in'endt dto repres -nt the
unhappy infidel who smote tiro divine
Sufferer for md walking fa ate 1 ; and was
! therefore, condemn'd to walk The earth
i 11 fins If, until the ncriod of that Suflev
er's second coming.’ ’Tis I! ’lis ll’ex
claimed the Stranger; and rushing out
! of tin- house, rapidly disappeared.
1 Then did Cornelius Agrippa know
j that he had been conversing with the
i Wandering Jew!
Horrors of Ancient Wars - Tile
Siege of Jerusalem.
The siege tuat seems to epitomise ail
the honors of such contests, forming, as
it were,the last crowning tragedy, was
the seige of Jerusalem by Titus, A. 1).
j 70. The city then contained, according
j to Tacitus, six hundred thousand inliab
: itants. Josephus has well narrated the
1 sufferings of his countrymen, not mere
-1 ly from tin: Romans, but also from the
savage factions of tire two rival chiefs,
Simon and John—the former of whom
held the upper city, the latter the Tern
: pie. Their followers tore each to pieces
i p to the very moment that the Romans
broke Enough the walls. The mode in
which Titus conducted this memorable
1 siege furnished a god is imple of the
! manner in which the Romans conducted
| eneli operations. U s lrgiomuu s liav
! mg established their camps on Sc hi pas
: and the Mount ol Olivos,, began to turn
j the suburbs of Jerusalem, cut down the
■ trees, and raise banks of earth and tint—
| ber against the walls. Orj these works
: wo re placed aichers and hurlers af.Jave
litis, and before them the catapults and
balistas that threw darts and huge
stones.
The Jews replied from the engines
I which they hud taken from Reman de
i taci.rr.cnt3, but they used them awk
! warkly and ineffectually. They, bower.
; er, were very daring in their sorties, en
| deavoring to burn the Roinau military
engirns and the hurdles with which the
Roman pioneers coverted tie: nselvos
when at wi rk. The R mans also I• ui11
towers fifty cubits high, plat'd with
iron, in which they placed archers ad
slings, to drive the Jews fi-,:n the walls.
At last, about the fifteenth day of the
seige, the great si of H e Roman batter
ing rams began to shake the outer wall,
and the Jews yielded up the first lino of
defense. Five days after, Titus broke
through the second wall, into a place
full of narrow streets ciowded with bra
ziers’, clothiers’ and wool merchants
shops; tut the Jews rallying drove out
the Romans who, not having .made the
bieach sufficiently large, vtre with diffi
cully rescued by their archers. uu,
Jai - later, t wcver they ri tool; the -,rp.
oud wait, and then waited for (amine to
do Itsjwork within the city. The Jews
began now to d< sect t * the enemy iu
great numbers* and all the:;-.; wretches
the lb mans tortured ami crucified before
the walls (at one time live hundred a
day), S-) that, as Josephus says, “10-un
was wanting for the crosses, and, cross
es wanting for the bodies.”
At tliis crisis of the seige the Jews
undermining one of the lloman Tower*,
.set non fire, and did their best to des
troy till tho besiegers’ works. T.tu.-
now determined to slowly starve out ins
stubborn enemies, and began to build a
round the whole city. This wad, with
thirteen furls, the Roman soldi, is com
pleted in three days. 1 ua.inc, in tut
meantime, was ravishing the unhappy
city. Whole families perished daily and |
the streets were strewn with dead bod
ies that no one ear* dto bury. Thieves
plundered the half-deserltd home.:, and
murdered any who showed ; go*; * f re
sistance, or who still lingered in the
last agonies of starvation. The dead
the Jews thio w from the walla into the
valleys below. In Ilia meantime, the
Roman soldiers, abundantly supplied
with coni from Syiia, mocked the starv
ing men on the walls by showing' them
food. The palm-trees and olive-trees
around Jerusalem bad been all dostr *y
ed, but Titus, sending t,o the J udon for
timber, again raised hanks around the
castle of Antoni*. Inside the city the
conditions grew more violent, the par
tisans * f John and STuoti murdering
each other daily, and plundering the
T’emplo of the sacred vessel*.
A rumor spreading iu the Roman camp
that the Jew sh deserters svva’l-.v.-ed
their mom y before they left Jerusalem,
led to the murder, in one night, J*; pints
says, nearly two thousand of these un
happy or* a*ures. Again a part, ot tl c
wall fell b fore the battening lams, but
only to discover to the Romans a. IV sh
rampart built behind it. In o e -attack
a 11 rave Syiiun soldier of the cohort*,
with eleven other men, sure -ede ! in
reaching the top of the wall, but tlmy
were there overpowered by the Jews.
,\ few day* after, twelve Roman soldiers
scrambled up by night through a broach
in the tower of Antonia, killed tlm guiuds,
j. mill, sounding trumpets, au iinemod toe
rest of the army to their aid. Thu low
er once carried, the Homans,tried to fore -
their way into the Temple, and a hand
to-hnud light ensued, which terminated
in the Romans being drive 1 tuck to the
tower of Antonia. The Jews, now see
ing the'Temple in danger, amt the :ih
sault recommencing, set lire to the cites
ter that, joined the Temple amt the castle
of Antonia, and prepared for u desperate
resistance in their last stronghold . hi
this conflagration many ot the Romans,
advancing too eagerly, perished.
During all tl is fighting, the f .mine
within the city grew Worse and worse.
The wretched people ato their u'loes,
belts, and even the leather thongs 0
their shield.,, lf-ramd* height for food,
mid rubbers broke into every lions*: where
it wau known th it yorn was hid In. Jo
sfcphuseven mentions a well-known east
of a woman of wealth fro u beyond .Re
dan who ate her own child. The w all
ot the temple were so m in-five as to re
sist the batter-rams Ibr sixty days, so
Titus gave orders to burn down tin
gales. At lust, after a desperate resist
ance, the Jews were driven into the in
ner court and tl o temple was set on fin
and destroy* and, in spite of all tl.e efforts
ot Titus to save it. When the Jews
first saw the flames spring tip, Jm < pirns
says, they lais and a great about of d* s
pair, and sixteen thousand cf the d* lend
ers perished in the fire. The Item run,
in th( lury of the a*:,unit, burnt down
the treasury chamber*, tilled with gold
and other riches, and all the cloisters,
into which maltilud « - I J*-u. had fled,
expecting something miraculmi.s as their
false prophet hud predicted. Titc.s now
attacked the upper city, an I raised banks
against it, at which ab (it. forty thous
and of the inhabitants descried to lie-
Rinnan camp.
The final resistance was very feeble,
for the Jews were now utterly disheart
ened. The Romans, once master.-; of the
walls, spread tike a dehigeuver tin: city,
slew all tee Jews they met iu the nan'ow
lanes, and set fire to the houses. In
many of these they found entire lo.iilit
dead of hunger, and these places, in
th*fir h itror, the soldi* r- let niiplamler
ed. Toe R<>trial s, weary at he of .• 1 ly

unless found with arms in t,:s hand,
should be kill il. But non. - soidi'-ts i
