drowned man, which had lam In the

THE WANDERING JEW.

The legend of the Wandering Jew, of
which every one has heard but of which
most persons know so little, is not found
either in the apocryphal eyangelists or in
the Latin Fathers of the church. Ac-
cording to the best authorities it origi-
mated at Constantinople. Thore are two
versions-the Oriental, in which the Jew
is called Carthaphilus, and that of Eu-
rope, in which he is called Ahasuerus.
In the Eastern version he is represented
as porter of Pontius PLATE; in the
Western as cobbler living on the slope
of Mount Calvary, by whose door Christ
passed bearing His cross to the place of
crucifixion. The Oriental legend attrib-
utes to him wife and five children, de-
tails omitted in that of the Occident
The offence committed was the same in
both cases, brutal refusal to permit the
Savior to enter into the residence of the
porter or cobbler-a favor asked by Him.
self of the Roman soldiers who were
guarding Him-accompanied with the
suggestion that He had better walk on.
With the greatest gentleness of manner,
according to the legend, Christ informed
the inhuman Jew that as a punishment
of his unkindness it would be his fate to
walk on till the day of judgment, a SEN
teuce he has since been, and is believed
by many to be still expiating. Accord
ing to some authorities he started on his
travels within an hour. Others assert
that he was given until the following day
to bid farewell to his wife and children
and arrange his scanty baggage. No
route appears to have been indicated for
that endless journey, but Ahasuerus ap-
peared to consider it the most natural to
make tour of the globe, no forest or
desert being painless to him, and the
ocean being to him as easily traversable
as the dry land. According to Eugene
Sue he had preference for the land as
presenting the fewest obstacles, this au

crossing Behring Straits, accompanied by
his wife. This is believed to be the only
appearance of this lady in literature. In
the thirteenth century a knowledge of
the wanderer began to be diffused by
means of the bards and popular ballads
among the common people of Europe,
but it was only some 200 or 300 years
later that the extraordinary tale of his
sufferings became universally known,
and his person was made familiar to all
by the accounts of those who had seen
and conversed with him. No one APP
pears to have met with him until late in
sixteenth century, but after that date he
was often seen by persons of rank and
education in England, Scotland, France,
Italy, Hungary, Sweden, Persia and
Denmark, and other countries. In 1916
two ambassadors at the court of the
Spanish monarch met him at Madrid.
In 1909 he was seen at Vienna, and in
1901 at Lubbock. In 1916 many persons
saw and talked with him in LiVonia,
Gracovia and at Moscow. The German
cities were particularly favored with his
flying visits, for he is heard Of at Ros-

time at his disposal permitted. His pos
itively last appearance was at Brussels
in IVA. He would probably have passed
by this city with his usual haste had not
the burgesses, attracted by the great
yenerability of his appearance, asked
him to stop moment. He at first re-
piled that he could not stop, but, being
urged, paused briefly. Being invited in
to an inn to partake of pot of Flemish
beer, he consented to drink the beer, but
positively refused to sit down. However
he delayed long enough to tell of the en-
tire history of his sin and its 1900 years ex-
plation. From his personal explanation it
appeared that he crossed seas, rivers, riv-
ulets, deserts, mountains, hills, valleys
and plains with the same facility. He
passed through fire and water without
harm. He had passed through warning
hosts in Europe and Asia without devia-
ton from his course, and Witnessed MANY
deaths in America and Africa. He had
neither house nor land, nor any sort of
personal property, and his only financial
resources were five cents, which, when
spent, were constantly renewed in his
pocket Many consider the wandering
Jew to be typical of the people of which
he is a representative, compelled to wan
der without pause or rest in foreign
lands, always, nevertheless, with some
thing in the purse symbolized by the five
cents replaced as fast as expended in the
pocket of the eternal wanderer. Recent
events in Russia have given a new mean
ing and wider suggestiveness to the
legend, which bids fair to last as long as
there shall remain vestige of Christian
literature Glasgow Mail.

HORACE GREELEY's GREED.

Distant markets are all but inevitably
inconsistent, uncertain markets. Europe
has deficient harvests one year and buys
grain of us quite freely, but next year
her harvests are bounteous and she re-
quires very little more food than she
produces, no matter how freely we may
be buying of other fabrics. Hence our
wheat now sells very far below the price
which ruled here when Europe had
meagre harvest. A remote market vir-
tually restricts the farmer to two or three
great staples, while nearer markets en-
able him to diversity his products and
thus maintain and increase the produc-
tive capacity of the soil.
