The Wandering Jew.

Everybody has heard Of the Wan
dering Jew; but who is he? Tradi-
tion says-for it is to tradition we
owe the story, with all its variations
that he is a native or Jerusalem;
that he was present at the crucifxion
of Christ. and has lived ever since,
travelling through various lands.
When the sentence had been pro-
nOunced by PLATE, and Christ was
dragged away, he tried to rest a lit
tie near a shoemaker's door; but the
Jew, in his zeal, drove our Lord for
ward, and told him to hasten on his
way. Then Jesus looked at him and
said, Il shall stand and rest, but
though 60 till the last day." And
so the jew went forth, wandering
over the face of the earth, seeking
rest and finding none.
At the time of the crufxion this
man was thirty years old; and when
he attains the age of q hundred years
he returns to the same age he was
when his sentence was pronounced.
What was his name, and what his
trade, are questions not yet settled.
By some he is called q shoemaker, by
others a porter. Whether his name
is Joseph or Cartaphilus, or Ahasu-
erus, or Buttadaeus, is also uneer-
tain. He is described at one time
as appearing like a man Of seuenty
years; at another he does not appear
to be more than fifty years old. Now
his dress is a pair of hose hanging in
tatters, and q coat with a girdle that
reaches to his feet; again his coat is
purple and his stockings very white;
and thOu"p he walks in the rain from
morning lrh night, not a spot ap
pears upon his clothes. He speaks
little, and unlike other Jews, cares
nothing for money. He sometimes
accepts few small coins, but always
distributes them among the poor.
This mysterious parsonage is equal
" at home, or rather equally away
from home, in the east and in the
west. Many persons have seen him,
it is said, in England, France, Italy,
Hungary, Persia, Spain, Poland,
Sweden, Denmark, and various 9th
er countries.
When he was at Hamburg, in 1917,
he appeared to be about fifty years
of age; hewas tall, and his long hair
hung over his shoulders. lie was 81
lent and reserved, and answered on
ly direct questions. He ate and drank
with great moderation, and was new
er seen to laugh.
This universal traveller, when. he
was IN Bohemia, about the begin
ming Of the sixteenth century, helped
a man find a treasure; and in Eng
land, at a later date, he cured man
of consumption. In whatever land
he travels, he speaks the language of
the people like a native. Several
times during the present century,
persons claiming to be the Wander
ing jew have appeared in England,
but in no case have their claims been
allowed. Still, there can be little
doubt that the Wandering Jew IS as

CHAPTER III,

Nearly year had gone by. One
cool evening inst after harvest time.
Tom sat alone on the doorstep,
looking over the dreary fields. He
had lust eaten a miserable supper;
the usually bright, cheerful room
was dim and dirty, the ashes Of the
fire were scattered over the hearth.
There had been sickness in the
house for many months, and trouble
-almost-want-had come, so that
the old orderly routine had long ago
given way to discomfort.
Tom crept up now and then to
door of his fathers room, and listen
ed to his heavy, feverish breathing,
or looked at his mothers pale face
bending over the bed, and then
down again. The doctor came down
after a while from his daily visit.
How is he to-day, SIR

a slow disease. But 1 hope it will
all come right, in time" He look

had followed him to the gate, and

name. "The farm needs your father
sorely.,
Eyes If was only man. -
The doctor was silent. This ter
rible year of war and pestilence had
made the sky dark for them all.
The rebels were conquered, but were
still in hiding among the hills, shot
down like dogs whenever they ven
tured out: in every house there was
disease or want, but the jolly Kelsoe
household seemed to have Jared
worst of all.
"What is wrong, Tom, boy? Per
haps l can be of some help to you.
MY father was in debt, 1t seems.

CASTLES IN THE am.


The bonnie, bonnie bsirn,
Who sits poking in the sse,
Glowering in the fro
WI his wee round face;
Laughing at the fufiin' lowe;
What secs he there!
Ha the young dreamer's
Biggin' castles in the air.
His zee chubby face,
And his towsie, curly pow,
Are laughing and nodding
To the dancing lowe;
He'll Drawn his rosy checks
And singc his sunny hair,
Glowering at the imps
Wi their castles in the air.
He sees muckle castles
Towering TO the moon.
He sees little Eodjers
Pulling them a Goun!
Worlds whombling up and down,
Bleezing wi fare,
See how he loups!
As they glimmer in the air.
For a'sae sage he looks,
What can the laddie ken!
Hes thinlin' upon naething
Like mony mighty man;
A wee thing makes US think,
A sma' thing makes us stare;
There are mair folk than him
Biggin' castles in the air.
Sic a night in WinterI
May weel make him cauld;
His chin upon his fully hand
VIII soon make him auld;
His brow is brent sae-braid,
o, pray that daddy Care
Will let the wean alane
WI his castles in the air!
He'll glover at the ere,
Aud he'll keek at the light;
But nony sparkling stars
Are swallowed up By night,
Aulder cen than his
Are glamoured by glare;
Hearts are broken, heads are turned,

Only two days ago, they said, four men mad been

previous fight had taken place between stray
party Of hajees and band OF Bedonins, one oil

decided to go on, and, embroidered by our hardi-
hood two Bagdadees. travelling on foot, said that
they too would accompany us, though we warned
them that we should so through at gallop. Of
course, after running bravely on by the side OF
orr horses for three or four miles, they
had to fall in the rear and we lost
sight of them. little while after an
armed Arab, with long lance aud huge pistols,
rode up to us, but scrutinizng us closely he de-
termined not to accept the odds Of two to one and
saying "Marhaba," passed on. 1t seems, how
ever, that subsequently he met the two Bagda-
dees. Both of them were armed to the teeth
with pistols and gun and dagger and club. One
of til m stood his ground and deted the bandit,
but the other ran away and hid in ditch. The
one who stood his ground was allowed to pass;
but the BedOuin subsequently caught the one
who fed and despoied him of his weapons, his
money and nearly all his clothes. Late in the
evening the poor wretch sneaked into the Khan,
almost naked and utterly miserable. He tried to
skulk away to quiet corner, among the horses;
hut everybody in the Khan had been awaiting his
arrival and he was greeted with volley OF taunts
aud sneers. After upbraiding him for his coward

some food, and the man Of the Khan gave him an

slight diversity occurred yesterday IN the mo-

Communication from General J0rdan-COnsrA1
dict;on Of Press Statements.

NEW YORK, August z, ls!V
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Some days ago the despatch Of the Associated
Press from Havana announced two things:--
FtrSt-That Captain General De Rodas. having
been offered renforcemenrs declined any as alto
gether unnecessary.
Second-That General Cornello Porro mad BEEN
slain by his countrymen for having shown purpose
to surrender to the Spaniards.
The press despatch from Havana dated August l. in
the papers Of this city this morning, gives c0ncln-
sive answer to the FIRST transparent fasehoOd, f0rl
1t states that De Rodas asked reinforcemenu
OF 900 men, IN which connection take occasion tO
say that that number would not replace the casualties
which have occurred In the Spanish ranks in Cuba,
since December /, 1869.
The answer to the other misstatemcnt is letter
from General POrrO to myself dated as late as the
18th OF July-a letter characteristic OF the patriot
who wrote iC-hopelul oil the early independence OF
his country.
The despatch rom Havana is characteristic OF AIN
from the same source. They are invariably false
either ia letter or spirit. Respectfully yours,
