THE WANDERING LEW

The first explicit and authentic men.
ton of the Wandering Jew occurs in the
Latin Works of Roger de Wendover, a
Monk of St. Adams, who died in the
year 1887. And Matthew, of Paris, a
Benedictine Monk, of the same Monastery,
confirms the statement, and relates that,
at a great Episcopal Convocation at st.
Adams, in the year 1923, an Archbishop
of Armenia Major also appeared, and de-
posed through his interpreter Ia Knight
returned from the Holy Land) that he
knew the Wanderer we'll, who had often
held converse with him and eaten at his
table. The cause of this terrific curse
was thus explained: When the Jews
were dragging Jesus forth to crucifxion,
Cartaphilus, then porter in the hall of
PLATE, struck the Saviour with his hand,
and in mockery said, " Hasten, Jesus,
why dost thou linger ?'' And Jesus,
looking back, said to him, 81 go, indeed,
but thou wilt wait until | return" At
the time of our Lords crucifixion, Carta-
philus was thirty years old, and when he
attains the age of one hundred years
always returns to the age of thirty thus
doomed to perpetual life in alternating
between extreme age and renewed youth
After the death of Christ, when the Cath
olic faith had gained ground, Cartaphilus
was baptised by that Ananias who bap-
tized the Apostle Paul, and then took
the name of Josephus.
The Wanderer of Ages is man of holy
conversation, of circumspect demeanor,
and awaits with fear the awful day of
judgment. He refuses all gifts, being
content with food and clothing; and rests
his hope of salvation on the plea of igno-
rance; and also on the last prayer of the
Saviour, Father forgive them, for they
know not what they do
Such is the substance of the history re-
corded by Matthew of Paris, who, as we'll
as Roger de Wendover, makes no COM
ment whatever on the statement of the
Armenian prelate.
The next notice of this singular person.
age occurs in the Chronicles of the Four
teenth Century, where he appears under
the name of Isaac Lakedion. In the six.
teenth century We find mention of the
unhappy man, and a narrative of his fa-
nous interview with Cornelius Agrippa,
the Magician. We next hear of him at
Hamburg, and then at Strasburg: and
thirty years after he appeared in Brabant,
where his person and manners are fully
described in the far-famed Brabantine
ballad. In the year 1864, he was seen at
Beauvais, in France, coming from mass;
and he subsequently appeared at Venice,
Naples, and Salamanca: and lastly at
Brussels on the 22d of April, I'LL.

The two bulls, therefore, closed their eyes
to what was going on, and the lien har.
ing devoured the white bull remained Will
them, and when he sought to attack them
they united together against him. Then
turning himself to the red bull, the lion
said, This black fellow will bring disas-
ter upon us, for his color attracts the eve.
Contractive, therefore, to leave him alone,
and will cat him up, and then you and
| shall remain here in safety, for the
color of my hide resembles yours, and
yours and mine are the same" Accord
ingly the black bull was forsaken by the
red one and slain by the lion, who lived
for short time in peace with the survi-
vor. until one day he called out to him,
Oh! red bull, l am coming to devour
YOU" "You to devour me Z" replied the
bull. And the lion replied, Il myself. +"
"Since there is no help for it, then, ex-
claimed the unfortunate animal, at least
wait till | have cried out three tines
The hon thereupon drew back, and the
bull cried Not to-day, not to-day doth
he slay me; he slew me when he devoured
the white bull: he slew me when he de-
youred the white bull; he slew me when
he deyoured the white bull" Even thus. /"

DIVORCE AND ITS ABrsEs.-Ai cores
pondent writes us from village in Indi-
ana, that in said village lives a mother
who had a husband whose name she does
not bear, who has two daughters, each
OF them divorced wives, one of whom
obtained her bill while her husband lay
on his death-bed: while in the same VII
lage resides man who has two wives
living, lone of them divorced, and that
these wives are mother and daughter
Some of the Western States are noto-
rious for the facility and liberality with
which they grant divorces, wherefrom q
harvest of lewd marriages, Licentious-
ness and Immerality may be expected
to result in due season. As population
grows dense and and habits more lux.
urious, these States will have ample rea-
son TO rue the recklessness wherewith
they are undermining the basis of society.
Perhaps some of them may be warned
in time to avoid the worst consequences
of their error.-N. Y. Tribune.

A FABLE WORTH ATTENTION.

Likewise Omar lbu Abb Bishr relates
that All, the Commander of the Faithful,
upon whom be the Peace of God, one day
haranguing the People and being inter-
rupted by their clamours, descended from
the Tribune and began to speak thus -
"These People, Othman, and myself; are
in the same case as the three bulls; one
white, the other red, and the third black,
which lived in a jungle together with a
lion. Whenever the lion attacked one OF
these three bulls, they, by uniting their
forces, rcpulsed him, so that he was una
bic to devour them. But one day the
lion said to the black and red bulls,
"The color of the white bull will some
day cause us to be discovered in the
jungle in which we dwell. If you would
suffer me to do so I would eat him up,
and thus we should remain securely con.
icealed, for no one would be able to dis
cover us, seeing that your color harmo
nises with mine, aud mine with yours y

DEsTRUc, ION oNoFAsUsPENsIoN BRIDGE

The destruction of wire suspension
bridge over the Licking has been reported
by telegraph. The following particulars
are from the Cincinnati Commercial of the
18th:
This beautiful structure, uniting the
cities of Covington and Newport, Just
erected at a cost of $4,000, suddenly
gave way about five o'clock Yesterday
evening, and tumbled into the river, a
shapeless wreck. The accident was oc-
casioned by the breaking of the keys >
i. C. the swapping of the iron rods con-
Meeting the cable with the anchorage.
This occurred on the Newport side, a,
the moment that drove of cattle were
on the structure near the centre. The
cattle were driven by Mr.. Joseph Moll,
ridge, who, doubling the security Of the
bridge. stood at little distance, and
watching his cattle, saw them take the
dizzy plunge, amid crashing timber and
iron, into the icy river. Thirteen of the
cattle managed to get out; the rest are
supposed to have been killed by the fall
or drowned.
Two men on horseback had just enter.
ed from the Covington side, and fell into
the river, but singular to relate, escaped
without dangerous injury. One of their
horses got out, the other was killed
The names of the men who made this
narrow escape, were Henry Clarcom and
Taylor Reyes. ......
The bridge. only few days ago, was
taken off the hands of the contractors by
the towns, and toll gate established.
We understand that its capacity of ex.
istence was never tested before the job
was taken from the contractors, a neglect
that is quite objectionable.
