snd one or two other timilar sentonoot
trom the iipt of onr Saviour have very
naturally created an impreetion that
certain poraona who were livmiratlbe

would remain alive until Hit tecond
coming upon the judgment day. Pre

cryalulized into the thape which we

with exaotnets. but the fact ia hardlv
doubted that the troauel ntterancot
juat quoted really aupplied the germ
wuiuu, in no me active lancy, perbapt
that of a monk of the Middle A?ee.
fructified into ihit wonderfully poetic
and dramatic story. , . . .
Tbe firtl appearance ot the Wan
dering Jew in literature Is In s book
of the chroniolet of tht Monatterv of
of St. Albans, England, which was
copied snd continued by the famous
Matthew Peril, who, in tbe early part
of tht thirteenth century, wat aa in-
mato ana ten be or tbe abbey.
rant aeavrli that tbe Wandering
Jew vitited England, in the per eon of
an Archbinhop of Armenia, in 1228.
The tlory tuld of the Archbiahip by
one of bitterrtnis wat that the Arch
bishop at the the time of Chrim wat
a portor in the -palace of Pontiui PI
luto, and bit name wat Cartophilut.
When Pilate releaiwd Jeaui to the
Jewt, the latter dragged hint forth,
and at they reached the door tbe por
ter impiiiutiy struck him on the back
with bit hand, and laid, in a jeering
tone, "Go quicker, Jenus, go quicker!
Why do you loiter f" And Cbritt,
looking buck upoa him with a ttvere
countenance, said to him, "I am go
ng, and you will wait till I return."
And accordingly, as Chrim said, Car
tophilut it itill awaiting Hit leturn.
At tne time of this occurrence he
wat 30 yetrt old: and when he at
taint the age of 100 years he rvturne
to tbo tame aire he wat when the Lord
suffered. After Chriat's doath. when
be Chrittian faith trained ground.
Cartophilut wat bunlizrd bv Ananias
(who alto baptixud the Anmtle Paul.)
sna wss called Jntepb... lie beoame a
man of holy conversation snd of de
vout life. I
Tbit is one version of the legend.
The ntbor snd more popular one is
that s Jew nsmedAbsHuerus, by trade
s shoemaker, wat ttanding in the door
of bit thop in Jeruaalem when Christ
waa patting on bit way lo Calvary.
Ahasuerut had s little child upon his
arm, snd, as tba lord approached the
boune, bowed under tbe heavy weight
of the cross, lie tried to rial a little,
and stood atlll fur a moment. But
I lbs shoemaker, In seal nj r". and I
for the purpose of obtsining credit
rrora the Jews, drove the Saviour for
ward, snd told Him to bsiten on Hit
way. Jenut obeyed, but turned snd
looked st his assailant, and said, "I
shall stand snd rest, bat tbos shslt go
on until tbe last day."
At thoso word! Ahasuerut let down
the child and,' unable to remain
whore he was, be followed Christ, and
saw how cruelly He was crucified, bow
lis tunered, and how lie diod. At
soon sa the crucifixion wss ended, it
semed ss if bs could not return to
Jerusalem nor see again his wife snd
child, but lis felt that he must go forth
into foroign lands, one sfter another
like s mournlul pilgrim, no wanaerea
to and fro over the earth fur many
years, snd tuen roturnea to nts an
cient home, only to una me noiy city
rained and utterly rased, so tint not
one ttone wss left standing upon an
other, snd so that bo could not recog
nise former localities. So forth he
started upon his journey again, and
begin anew lb wanderings which
abnil oot otsss until all things shall
come to sn end.
The old chronicle! which eontsin
this touching snd wonderful story al
so tell something ol the manners snd
peculiarities ol tbe Jew. lie it saia
to bs man of few words snd of cir
cumspect behavior. Us docs not
spoak at all, unions when questioned

Some of tbet description! of the
Wandering Jew purport to bsvs been
written by ertons who bavoseen snd
talked with him. There are manv
accounts of his sppesranee at various
timet In different parti of Europe,
and it seems almost Impossible to
doubt tbe tincerity of those who have
cronicled theso visitations, even if we
sdmit, ss we mutt, thtt the writers
were deceived In some manner of
which ws know nothing. -
After his visit to England, iust si.
luded to, be it not heurd of until 1505,
wuen ne wit reported to bsvo sp
peared in Bohemia, where he assisted
S certain wesver named Kohot to find
a treasure which had boon secreted in
the royal pulacs of Robot's father,
sixty years Dciore, at which liuiu I lie
Jew wss present. He then had the
appesranco of being about 70 years
oi ago. In 1547 be was teen in Ham
burg, if ws sre to beliovs Dr, Von
Kilxen, or scblaswik, who declared
(hat when he was a youth in Hum
burg, he, on certuin Sunday in
Church, saw a lull man with his hair
hanging over his shoulders, standing
barefooted during the sermon. The
visitor listened with the deepest at
tention, snd whenever the name of
Jetut wat mentioned he bowed hum
bly snd profoundly with sighs and
beating ol the breust. After the tor
mon he wai interrogated, and declared
bimteir to be Ahasuerut, the Jew.
He had no other clothinif in tbe bitter
cold of winter than s pair of bote
which were in tatien about hit foot.
and a coat with a girdle which reached
nearly to the ground. Hit general
appearance wat that of s man of about
ou yean.
Von Eitxen says that he, with the
rector of tbe Hamburg tchool, who
wss a traveler and well read in his
tory, questioned tbe Jowt bout events
which had taken place in the east
sinco the death of Christ, and be gave
mem mum correct imormatioo on
many ancient matters, so tbst it wss
impossible not lo bs convinced of the
truth of his story. .....

eobblor who refnaed ' to permit Christ
to rest on hit door-step. A hittory of
ths town of Stamford, England, tellt
how, in 1658, upon the evening of

it will be seen, docs not sgree with
those which describe him ss an bum
ble and patient Christian, but it is
striking and remarkable as embody
ing an illustration oi what the life to
which men cling so desperately might
become prolonged for centuries.'
There has been s great deal of con
jecture as to the process by which
the story or the Wandering Jew wss
formed. The scriptural texts, given
at the beginnibg of this article, sup
ply tufllcient reason for thst part of
iv wnicn reiurs to me more prolonga
tion of a human life, but thry give no
limit or suggestion ol the material of
which the rest or lb legend it com
posed. Some persons have supposed
that the Jew wss tbe emblem of tho
gipy rsce, which, at one tiino, wss
thought to bo ol Egyptian origin, snd
which is nomadio. The theory was
that th original gipsies were cursed
because they reluned to sholier tho
Virgin and Child in their flight into
Egypt. . This, liowovor, is not either
consistent or sniiafuclory. The most
plausible explanation is thst the Wan
dering Jew is really th typo of the
Hebrew race. The Jewt did offend
Jesut, at Ahasuerut is slid to huve
done. They have been driven Irom
their. homes, ss he was; they have
wandered over the whole earth, as is
alleged of him; And they have lived
apart, distinct and peculiar from other
men, as he is said lo do; The differ
ence between the type and tho reality
is that Ahasuorus cecums s Christian,
while tho Jews cling lo tbeirold faith.
But the resemblance is so great thai
we think we are warranted in assort
ing that th origin of the magnificent
fable mny be traced to lb historic
fact Today. , ,

Trial by Ordeal.'
While, at Miltun-Kote, setting a
crowd ono day congregated round
woll, I walked to the apol, and was
witness to the following, trial by. an
ordeal, which, we may term, that of
"water snd tbe bow snd arrow.'
The water in tbe well was eighteen
feet deep, snd in its conter stood an
upright polo. Two criminals wer to
be tried for, thoft, one -of whom wss
already in the oolt, clinging to tho
pole, with only his head above water.
A little on one side, with his back to
tbe criminal, stood sn Arthur with
bout bow and arrow on the string
On a given signal tbo arrow was shot
away, and the culprit descended be
low the turfaco of the water. Ko
sooner had "the arrow . reached the
ground" than A'youhg fnuu "swift of
(bet left the bowman t side, and made
towards it' on reaching the spot
where it foil, another runner, equally
fleet, snatched up the arrow and sot
off for the .well. As he neared ut at

the parapet into the well for tho crim
inal's ': reappearance, llis friends
hronthed short, wliio hope and fear
depicted on every countenance. ,' At
last tho runner reached the goal, and
the next moment the hend of tho sus
pected person emerged from the wa
ter. A loud shout proclaimed his in
nocence and tho Crowd's satisfaction.
The other criminal, sn old man, now
prepared to descend into the well, but
before doing so s lock wus shorn Irom
his tbin gray hairs, and fastened to
the arrow ss a charm to impede its
flight. Ho was the reverse of confi
dent, and his looks were certainly not
in his favor.' Prayers were offered
and many fingers pointed to the heav
ens, while voices exclaimed, "Allah
