They showed, us where second time, and where Jesus rested the the mob refused to give him up, and aid "Let his blood be upon our heads and upon our children's .children forever." The French Catholics are building' a church on this spot, and with their usual veneration for historical relics, are building In the new such scraps of ancient walls as they have found there. Further on, we saw the spot where the fainting Baylor fell under the weight of his cross. A great granite column of some ancient temple there at the time, and the lay cross struck It such a blow that it heary broke in two in me miaaie. we mignt nave thought this story the Idle Invention of priests and guides, , but the broken column was still there to abow for itself. One cannot go behind the evidences. a street, and came preWe crossed ,';.. to former residence of 8L the sently Veronica. When the Savior passed there, she came out, fall of womanly compassion, and spoke pitying words to him, undaunted by the Lootings and the threatenlngs of the mob, and wiped the perspiration from his face with her handkerchief. We had heard so much of SL Veronica, and seen her picture by mf mnv tn.at.n that I f Ilk lucvi' nu lias tuatit mjvioi friend unexpectedly to ing an old stumble upon her ancient home in Jerusalem.' The strangest thing about the incident that has made her name . so zamous, is mat, wnen sue wiped tne away, the print of. the perspiration Savior's face remained upon the handkerchief, a perfect portrait, and so remains unto this day. I know this, because I saw this handkerchief in a cathedral in Paris, in another in Spain, and in two others in In the MIlanCathedral .it costsItaly. five francs to see It, and at St. Teter'g at Borne, it is almost impossible to see it at any price. No tradition Is so amply verified as this of St. Veronica and her handkerchief. At the next corner we saw a deen in dentation in the hard stone masonry of we corner or tne nouse, but might have gone heedlessly by it but that the guide said it was made by the elbow of the Savior, who stumbled here and fell. Presently we came to just such another inuenuon in a stone wail. The guide said the Savior fell here, also, and made this depression with his elbow. We be lieved. We could not disbelieve, with the evidences before our eyes. wnere tne mere were otner Lord fell, - and othersplaces where he rested; s but one of the most curious of sacred history we found on this morning walk through the crooked lanes that lead toward Calvary, was a certain stone built Into a house a stone that was so seamed and scarred that It bore a sort of grotesque resemblance to the human face. The projections that answered for cheeks were wern smooth by the passionate kisses of generations of pilgrims from distant lands. We asked Why?" The guide said it was because this was one of "the very stones of Jerusalem" that Christ mentioned when he was reproved for permitting the people to cry "Hosannah!" when he made his memorable entry Into the of the city VTlnt an ass. ! One said.upon them nn nvlrlonrA pilgrims that fhA stones did cry out Christ said that if tne people stopped from shouting Hosannah, the very stones would do it." The guide was perfectly serene. He said, calmly, "This is one of the etones that icould have cried out." It was use to try to shake this fellow's simple faith It was easy to see , v a m . -- le that. . HOUSE OF THE WANDERING JEW. tit. In at. tr nnntfi And an wa rm r wonder, of deep and abiding Interest the veritable house where the unhappy wretch once lived who has been celebrated in song and story for more than eighteen hundred years as the Wanderday of the ing Jew. On the memorable Crucifixion he stood in this old doorway with his arms akimbo, looking out upon the struggling mob that was approaching, and when the weary Savior would have sat down and rested him a moment, pushed him rudely away and said, "Move on!" The Lord said, More on, thou, likewise,'' and the command has never been revoked from that day to this. All men know how that the miscreant upon whose head that Just curse fell has roamed up and down the broad world, for area and ages, seeking1 rest and never finding it courting death but always in vaia longing to stop, in city, In wilderness, in desert solitudes, yet hearing always that relentless warning to march march oul They say do these hoary traditions that when Titus sacked Jerusalem and slaughtered eleven hundred thousand Jews in her streets and the Wandering Jew was seen thickest of the fight, and always in thebattle-axes that when gleamed in the bowed he head beneath them; his air, when swords flashed their deadly lightnings, he sprang in their way; he bared his breast to whizzing javelins, to hissing arrows, to any and to every weapon that promised death and forgetfulness, and rest. But It was useless he walked forth out of the carnage without a wound. And it is said that five hundred years afterwards, he followed Mahomet when he carried destruction to the cities of Arabia, and then turned against him. His calculations were wrong again. No quarter was given to any living creature but one, and that was the only one of all the host that did not want it. He sought death five hundred years later, in the wars of the Crusades, and offered himself, with them, to famine and pestilence at Asca-loHe escaped again he could not die.; These repeated annoyances could have at last but one effect they shook his confidence. Since then the Wan- : by-way- truction, bat with small hope, as a ;eneral thing.

In the place on it where Mahomet stood, he left his footprints in the solid stone. I should Judge that he wore about eighteens. But what I was going to say, when I spoke of the rock being suspended, was, that in the floor of the cavern under it they showed us a slab Which 'they said covered a hole which was a thing of extraordinary interest to all Mahommedans, because that hole leads down to purgatory, and every soul that Is transferred from thence to Heaven must pass up through this orifice. , Mahomet stands there and them out by me hair. All Mayanks hommedans shave their heads, but they are careful to leave a leek of hair for the Prophet to take hold of. Our guide observed that a good Mahommedan would consider himself doomed to stay with the damned forever If he were to lose and die before It grew his scalp-locmost of them that I have The again. seen ought to stay with the damned, without reference to how they anyhow, were barbered. What sort of use they can ever make of them in Heaven is v mnch ahead of roe. For several ages no' woman has been allowed to enter the cavern where that important hole Is. The simple reason Is that one of the sex was once caught there blabbing everything she knew about what was going on above ground, to the rapscallions in purgatory down below. She carried the thine to such an extreme that nothing could be kept private nothing could be said or done on earth but everybody In hell knew all about It before tne sun went, down.
