The Wandering Jew.

We have often smiled at the strange legend
OF the Wandering jew" accurSed for hav-
ing shown himself without pity for the Son of
Man when he was oil the point of death who
was condemned to a never-endug march over
the surface of the globe. with his white beard,
his piteous air. and his last remaining coins al
ways renewed in bis purse All this is certainly
very absurd. But when, in this singular e-
gend, you recognize the impression that the
middle age had formed of the Jewish people,
always in motion, always chased from country
to country, everywhere proStrated under the
malediction which it anciently invoked upon
itself, and yet at the same time industructible,
resisting all evils, gaining money even in pa'
ces where no one else would have known bow
to find penny, always miserable, and yet al
ways knowing how to extrcate Itself from its
troubles-do We not recognize in this legend
matter for reflection, and see how wisdom is
often found in the mouths Of children
That the above view is the real sense OF the
legend of the Wandering Jew is shown by the
very different form under which it appears 10
the East There the Jew is not " Wander
err" he is " undying," aud hence, doubtless, his
! German appellatoD der eaoige Jude He struck
Jesus when he was going forth from from Pi-
lates place. and said to him, " Go on, Jesus,
on more quickly, what delays you 2" Where,
upon the Saviour replied, 81 60 bat you shall
wait until my return" In consequence, be
could rot die, and every time that he was on
the point of falling beneath the weight of old
age, new vigor seemed to reanmate bis limbs,
and restores him to the age OF thirty, which
was bis age at the time Of crucifction. He
remained in Armenia, where he lived an ascot
ic fe in the hopes of obtaining bis pardon
We here see clearly that in the East, where
the people of Israel have long been dispersed
aud tolerated, the imagination has not been
| struck as in the West by its Interchangeable
identity, amid all religious aud political revo-
iutions, that the Eastern legend expresses
That the Jewish people canuot die, is truth
which all nations have discerned. But if it
survives abased in its remorse in the East, it
is constantly aCandSring in the West. 1t is
evident that in both forms it is the historic
destiny of this people that has served as the
basis of the legend. For this reason we can
not accept the more modern interpretations
which those have given who have wished to
regard the legend as the perScnifcaton of an
tiChristian doabt, always unquite, and never
arriving at repose.-Le Lon.
