Remarkable Escape.

The following beats all the stories Of
remarkable escapes which we remember
ever to have heard.
"On the passage Of the ship Anaxder ,
from New Orleans to New York, a young
lad. about fourteen years Of age, from a
naturally frolicsoms and miscaievous dis.
position, became 80 troublesome in his
praoks that be was threatened by the
Captain, If they were continued, that he
would contine him 10 water cask. Our
youngsteer, however, took no heed, and
on again offending was put in the cask,
which was beaded up, leaving large
bunghoIs for the admission OF air. That
night the ship encountered a violeu.
storm, and in sudden lurch the cask
containing thu boy rolled over into the
sea. Fortunately the cask struck bunc
up, and fosted about thirty hours, when
1t was thrown upon the beach at st. Bias.
Here the boy made desperate efforts to
extricate himself from his prison, but
without success, and in despair gave up
to die. Some cows, however, stroliing
on the beach, were attracted TO the cask,
and in walking around it, one Of them
switched her tail into the bunghole, which
the lad grasped with desperate reso!u-
ton. The COW beloved and set off for
life, and after running some too hundred
yards with the cask struck it against a
log on the beach, and Knocked it, as VS.
say, into a cooked hat. The boy, thus
pro'idenually released, was discovered
by some fishermen on the Point, and ta-
ken into Apalachicola, where a small COL
lection being made for him, he was ena-
bIed to proceed North by the way Of
Columbus"

More Worser as de Golery.

Il German pedler came into our vii
lage once during grand revival among
the Methodists. Along toward evening
be stopped at the house OF family who
we'e undergoing all the excitement Incl
dent to the TRANSPORTATION from sinful
to happy state.
The cholera bad been raging consid-
erably that summer, and our perambuIat'
ing Teutonic friend was considerably
agitated lest he should fall 10 with the
dreaded disease; so knocking at the door,
his first inquiry was-"ls you got de
golery here Z" The lady replied that
they had not, and an ARA ngement was
soon made to accommodate the pedler for
the night. rs he was very tired, he went
to bed very early. Presently the neigh
boTs began to assemble for evening class
meeting, and the exercises commenced.
They soon got into the agonizing period,
when all hands began to groan and shout
in most terrific manner. The Dutch
man awoke, listened, and then sprang out
of bed. Hurriedlv putting on his clothes,
he rushed down stairs, and there beheld
men ard women apparently in great
agony; some were sprawling on the 4 oor,
others were or their knees comforting th cir
bodies into every conceivable shape, while
! their faces indicated the utmost pain.
The hostess perceiving the frighter ed
German at the door, quietly went ou, into
the hall and met him. Wi:hou, waiting
for in,errogaticns, the pedler exclaimed
"Oh, mein Got ! vat ish de matierf You
told ma you no nave de golsry !" "Why
no we haven't" said the lady. We are
Methodist people here, that's all. dat
'Sh all 7 Mein Got, give me mine ,ings
| 60 away" The lady pointed to bis pack
and in another minute the peder was out
OF sight. Coming to a drug store, the
! frightened traveller rushed in almos,
bresthless, and calling for :be doctor, told
him he must 60 quick to such house, o
they would all die before he got there
Whats the matter" said the Doctor
"Havs they got the cholera!' "No, no.

The Wandering Jew.

The legend OF Jew ever wandering
and never dying, even from the crucifxion
OF Jesus to this day. has spread over many
European countries. The accounts, how
ever, as in all fables. do not agree. One
version is this. When Jesus was led TO
death, oppressed by the weight Of the
cross. he wished to rest himself near the
gate at the house Of a shoemaker named
Ahasusrus. This man, however, sprang
forth and thrust him away. Jesus turned
towards him, saying, Il shall rest, but
thou shall move on ill I return" And
from that time he had no rest, and is
obliged necessarily 10 wander about.
Another version is that given by Matthias
Parisiensis, a monk OF the thirteenth cen,
tury: When Jesus was led from the tri
bunal Of Pilatus to death, the doorkeepsr,
named Csrtifllions, pushed him from be
hind with his foot, saying, "Walk on,
Jesus, quickly, why dost thou tarry :,
Jesus looked at him gravely, and said,
II walk on but thou shalt tarry till
come" And this man, still alive, wan.
ders from place to place, in constant dread d
OF the wrath to come. A third legend
adds that this wandering Jew falls sick
every hundred years, but RECEIVERS, and
renews bis strength; hence it is that,
even after so many centuries, he does not
look much older than Sep,uagenarian.
This much for the legends. Not one Of
the ancient authors makes even mention
OF such an account. The first who reports
some such thing is monk Of the thir.
teen,h century, which, as is known, was
filled with pious fiction, even to disgust.
However, the story has spread far, so that
it has become q proverb, "Hs wanders
about like a wandering jew" There are
not persons wanting who assert to have
seen the wandering Jew. But when their
evidence is examined by the test Of his
orical crsdibiIity, it is found tba. some
! imposter had made use OF this fable to
impose upon simp's,mind.d peopls for
some purpose Of his own. However the
legend Is not altogether untrue there is
a wandering Jew who roves about Eu
rope. throughout overy century. This
imPerishabls being is--PrGudiee against
tie Jews.
