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 | was hie self a dealer in wondeis, began 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! which each step that thou advao-. ut { HERE SHALL THE PRESS THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS ..TIMfAIN, UN.V.VEE BY FEAR AND UNSRIBED BY GAIN.

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 ing, Titus g.*vo orders that no Jew, unless found with arms in t,:s hand, should be kill il. But non. - soidi'-ts i , went oil bothering the old end inti m, j and driving the youth and women into j ! till: Court of Die Temple.
