BY REGINALD VERNON. Towards ihe close of evening, on a fine autumn day, and just as the shades of night were beginning to enwrap the city ol Florence, Cornelius Agrippa heard a sliglit tap at his door, and saw a stranger j enter the room where he sat studying. ' Although the stranger's figure was good, j i and his countenance gentle and dignified, j there was something (indefinably niysteri- i | ous about him that inspired a degree of : fear and repulsion, it would have been ; j difficult to guess his years, as the attributes j of youth were strangely blended with the ! characteristics of age. Thus, though not I a wrinkle furrowed his brow, and though his black eyes were beaming with brill inn- . cy, his form appeared bowed down bv the j weight of years : his thick and abundant locks were almost white, and bis touching and melodious voice was weak and quav- i ering. lie wore the Florentine costume, though lie carried a pilgrim's staff, and his waist was girt by a broad silk sash, on which were embroidered some Oriental words. Though his face was pale as death j his features were of remarkable beauty, , and gave token of deep wisdom, while ex- I pressivn, at tite same time, of the most poignant mental anguish. •Pardon this intrusion,' said he to Agrip pa. • The fame of your science being spread over tho world, and having reached my ears, I would not leave this fair city without having seen you.' ' You are welcome, sir,' said Agrippa ; j -but I am afraid your curiosity will be dis appointed, for you will only find in me a man who, far from spending his life in ac quiring honors and riches, as all wise peo ple do, has only wasted long years in pain j ful study, and in the endeavor to surprise some of nature's secrets, and to lift the veil concealing the occult sciences.' ' llow can you talk of long years,' in- ■ . lerruptcd the stranger, with a melancholy ! smile, ' when you have scarcely witnessed eighty springs, and when lite tomb is al ready stretching forth its friendly arms to invite you 10 eternal rest 7 In my child- 1 , flood's days, 1 used to wish to resemble the sun in its everlasting, glorious career: but now, I would rather sleep in the tomb than emulate him. This evening he set behind the mountains ; but not to rest 1— No—to continue his career, to light the same race of human beings. Ever the same ! There is no grave for him—and the dewdrops that moisten the earth night I and morning are but ihe tears he sheds | over his unhappy fate !' | A passionate admirer of ihe beauties of I nature, anil a profound observer of her va- rious phenomena, Agrippa had often in j dulged in similar thoughts; yet die stran f ger's impressions and turn of mind were | so different from his, that he felt unable : ! for a while to return him any' answer. Presently the stranger resumed: '1 have ' been told wonders of a mirror fashioned I bv vour marvellous art, and thai this mir i ror can recall ihe visage of a dead or ab . , ° sent person, whose features one might wish to gaze upon. Alas ! there is nothing on earth that can charin my sight. The tomb has swallowed up all the objects of my ' affection, and time has robbed me of everv thing that once made existence happy.— Of the many tears shed in litis wot Id, nut j one is shed lor me; and the tears scents dried up in my heart. Yet 1 would j lain see those gentle eyes, and that spotless brow on which the Almighty hand had im pressed his noblest seal. The sight of her image would be more welcome to mv heart than all the universe ft;t6 to offer ex ccpt a grave.' It was always difficult to obtain of Agrippa permission to consult his ntacic mirror, yet the stranger's words made so : •great an impression upon him, thai he con sented at once to gratify him. • Vv bom do you wislt to behold ?' asked he. •My daughter—my dear and loving Mir iam!' Cornelius closed up every aperture j through which the declining light of day could have penetrated; and having placed tiie stranger ou his right, lie began to chant i some lyric verses in an under-voice, and in a strange language. Several times the stranger fancied he heard a voice respond to that of ihe magician, but the sounds werey so feeble that it would have been ! difficult to say. •Did your daughter die married?' asked Cornelius. 'No, she died a virgin.' 'llow many years ago did the grave close over Iter?' The stranger's brow was overcast; and j lie replied with a degree of petulance, I 'Many years—more than I have time to I count just now.' 'Yet 1 must know the number,' said : Agrippa : 'for this wand must trace as i many circles as there are lens of years i since your daughter's death; and it is only 1 when the last circle shall have been accomplished that you will be enabled to | see her appear in the mirror.' 'Begin tracing your circles, then,' said the stranger, with a hitter sigh; 'and above j all, take patience.' Irritated by this imperious tone, the ma gician was about to retort, when he re strained himself in pity for the deep mis fortunes his guest seemed to have experi- ! enced. His hand began to trace circle af ter circle, but it seemed as i( the wand had i lost its power, for the surface of the mir- | ror was still dimmed by the cloud. Cor nelius then turned towards the stranger, ; saving, 'You singular being! who can you be, for your presence thus to disturb uiy m cantations? This wand, guided by the ! rules of my art, lias now described a space of four hundred years, yet the surface of the mirror is still the same. Answer ine! | Would you Ynock me, and lias the person you describe never existed?' 'Go on —go on!' was the stranger's only reply. Cornelius went on tracing the circles j with his wand. By dint of turning round and round bis arm grew tired, and he was about to cease, when the solemn, thrilling j voice of the stranger urged him to perse- ! vere with the words,' Goon—goon!' And , on he went; nor was it until, according to his calculations, the wand had gone over a period of more than twelve hundred years that die cloud on the surface of the ; mirror rolled away; on seeing which the j stranger uttered an exclamation of delight, and rising from his seat, gazed in ecstacy at the scene that met his view. A splendid landscape lay before him, f intersected by a rapid torrent, and belled by high mountains crowned with magnifi cent cedars. In the foreground a few i camels were grazing, and not far from them, ran a little stream, to which a herd of sheep had come to quench their thirst; while under the shade of a tall palm-tree ! sat a young maiden of unequalled beauty, j dressed in a very costly Oriental garb, j coolly sheltered from the noontide sun. • iis she! lis she!' cried the stranger . vehemently; and lie was about to rush to- 1 wards the mirror, when Cornelius said, j ; 'Ho not stir from your place, imprudent j stranger —for every step you take to ap. | proach the mirror will only dim the ob- j ijects depicted on its surface, and soon ! ! make them vanish entirely.' These words restrained the stranger; but ; so great was his agitation that he was obli- i ged to lean for support on the magician's i arm. Incoherent expressions of surprise, ' pain, or pleasure, burst every now and ! then from his lips. "'Tis she!' repeated he. 'She is alive once more—site smiles! Oh! for one word, j my loved daughter—only one word from your lips! Nay, were it but a sigh—let j ine hear you breathe. Alas! all is silent and dreary to my heart, lu vain you seek to restrain me, old man,' continued he, ad- . dressing Agrippa ; *1 must press her in ! my arms.' I So saying he rushed frantically towards the mirror, when the scene instantly van ! ished, a cloud once more settled on the surface of the glass, and the stranger fell senseless on the floor. _ On recovering his senses, he found him- ! self in Agrippa's arms, who was gazing ! at hiin with looks of mingled surprise and fear. Then suddenly mastering his weak ness, he started to his feet, and pressing Agrippa's hand, said, I am thankful for ! your kindness, and for the service you j have done me in showing me the sweet but tantalizing image of my beloved daugh ter.' At the same time he slipped a purse into i Cornelius's hand, which the latter imme- i I diately returned, saying 'Take back your ! i gold. Ido not want to inquire how far it would become a Christian to accept it; the , only payment I ask of you is to tell me who you are.' 'Look!' said the stranger, pointing to a historical picture hanging on the wall. •It is the masterpiece of one of our most ancient painters, and represents Christ bearing the cross,' observed Agrippa. 'Yes, but look there,' continued the j stranger, casting a melancholy look at A- ; ! grippa, as he pointed to a personage on the left side of the picture. Cornelius again raised his eyes, and saw, to his astonishment, that which he had not j ! remarked before—namely, the striking 1 likeness that existed between the counle- ; nance of the personage depicted and that 1 of the stranger. I 'Why,' said he, 'would you have me j . look at the wretched infidel who dared to ' | strike our divine Saviour, while he was \ bearing his cross, in order to urge him to , greater speed, and who for this base action I is condemned to wander about the earth, j until the second coming of Jesus Christ,' ! • ! 'Alas!' said the stranger, 'that wretched I infidel is myself! I am the Wandering j Jew!' No saving, he rushed from the house and disappeared. Ts'TY ypnng ladv, returning late from the Opera, as it was raining, ordered the coachman to drive close to the sidewalk, j but was still unable to step across the gut- ! ter. '1 can lift you over it,' said eoachey. ! 'Oh 110,' said the sweet miss, 'I am too heavy.' 'Lor miss,' replied John, '1 am used to j lifting barrels of sugar.' New Series—Vol. 11, No. 4, A SiIGHT MISTAKE. . A voung man went to see the daughter - ■ of a Presbyterian elder lately, whose house j was near a mill dam. It being in the | spring of the year, the waters made con . siderable ot a roar as they tumbled over I the datn. Ihe modest young gentleman | tapped lightly at the door at first, and re ceived no answer, lie tapped agaiu—still no answer. Again and again he repeated i his knocks, but still he was unheard. Mustering up courage he proceeded to in flict sundry thumps upon the door so se verely that the staid old gentleman rushed | breathless to open the door. I he youngster had become somewhat | savage from being compelled to wait so j long, and said— j ' I suppose you could not hear me for I the dam roaring.' 1 The damn roaring! What do you i mean, sir? How dare you speak to mo I in such a manner?' said the old gentleman, j angered at hearing the young man swear j in his presence. ' I mean to say, sir, that I suppose vou could not hear me on account of the darn roaring.' ♦Damn roaring again! You young scoundrel, have you the impudence to in* | suit me with a repetition of those words ? ' Begone, sir !' | The y° u "g man was rather bewildered, but said— -4 My dear sir, I intended to say that I ; presumed you could not hear me on ac ! count of the dam roarina- " ; _ © Insult on insult!' shouted the infuriated man, anii he ran at the poor fellow with the evident intention of ejecting him, but | was restrained by the voice of his daugh ; ter, exclaiming— I ' Papa, I suppose the young man inten ded to say that not be heard on account of the roaring oj the mill dam.'' : 4 Oh ! I beg your pardon, sir! I beg | your pardon! Walk in, walk in, really— ! ah, well, I declare ! J , he dam roar in &.' Capita!! Come in, come in ! That is rich—too rich—really too rich ! It is needless to add that the youngster went in, and in the excellent society of the [ young lady soon forgot all about the 4 dam | roaring.' ONE OF THE CIGARS. A New York physician tells us the fol lowing story, which we feel safe therefore as endorsing for a fact: Two or three years ago, a Spaniard from Cuba came to this city to be treated for a disease of the lungs. He came to Dr. M., described his symptoms, and put himself i in the Dr's. hands. j 'Well,' said the Doctor, 'lf I undertake your cure 1 shall be obliged to impulse one condition—and that is rather a hard one for you to comply with." 4 What is it?' asked the Cuban. 'That you entirely stop smoking until I give you leave to resume.' 'Never! I'd rather let the thing kill me. What pleasure is there in life if one can not smoke?' The doctor was a smoker himself and fell some sympathy. So he said: •Well, perhaps this is beyond your power. But you must solemnly promise me to smoke but one cigar a dav, or I will not undertake your case.' j The Cuban promised; it was his only I chance. Four or live days afterwards the | doctor thought he would call upon him as he passed his house, and thus save him a | walk to the ollice for the day. He walk j ed up stairs—knocked--' Come iu'— behold 1 the Cuban with a Cigar about 18 inches ; long and a proportionate thickness! He i confessed that he had that brand made to t order for him—but, said he: 'Doctor, I smoke but one a day, as I promised.' £jcr(,RrELTY to Chu.drev.—"Jim, does your mother ever whip you?" "No; but she does a precious sight worse, though!" "What's that?" "Why she washes my face every inorn mg." E3TA waggish spendthrift said—"Five years ago 1 was not worth a cent in the world; now see where 1 am through my own exertions." i "Well, where are you?" I "Why I owe more than three thousand | dollars." /
