A Legend of Palestine.

Somewhat more than eighteen hundred
years ago, there appeared in the land of
Palestine teacher whose coming had been
promised to the exiled pasents of mankind.
In him was sent an assemblage of virtues
such as have never been witnessed, and
powers which far surpassed even those of
Moses and the prophets. Wealth might
have been his, but he needed it not, the
sceptre of the world, but he would not WELD
it. His whole soul was devoted to the one
subject of doing good. Though houseless
and pennyless he fed thousands by his boun.
ty, and bestowed gifts which gold coulc
not purchase. Disease fled before him
and the tomb yielded its occupants. The
blind looked for the first time upon the ia
ces of the beloved, the dumb grew eloquent,
the deaf. drank in the words of kindness.
Over the heart he held equal sway. The
cruel became merciful, the miser generous;
the naughty, meek; the ambitious content
ed witlfaa humble fortune Tender and
consideMte, no harsh expression left his
lip, no Harsh thought dwelt in his bosom.
Yes, as he had been foretold, his life of
unwearied love was rewarded by treachery
and death. Terrible, indeed, was the ex-
hibitiond Gods anger during his dying
agonies The vail ofthe temple was rent,
the graNes were opened and the sleepers
arousedsfrom their rest. The sun shroud-
ed his gpry and hid his face from the un-
utterable sin. ..... .... ..' ...
Timepassed and nature resumed her
course. The day was again brilliant the
night r&diant with stars, and the earth re-
ceived again her children, and fondly dec
GRATED their bed with greenness and beauty.
But ons pale blossom, in memory of the
great event, has worn cross upon their
breast, and men call it the passion flower

rousing indignation against the Law, and
in concentrating public opinion for the pur-

to the enviable reputation of its gifted au-
thor, as man Of talent and eminently con-
versant with public affairs. We know of
no man who has better right to speak on
this subject, than the member from Picka-
way. His labors during the last session
were herculean, and no one was more dis
tinguished for ability in opposing the Tax
Law, which he fought at every stage, with
untiring energy. The article from his pen
which we now publish tears the arguments
of the wings in support Of some ofthe worst
features of the law, into literal tatters. He
does not leave them the smallest place

Appearances after Death.

1t frequently happens that the features of
the dead retain their entire form and indi-
vidual likeness for many years after their
burial. Experience, however, has proved
that on an exposure to the air for some min.
utes, dust returns to dust again. The fol-
lowing circumstances occurred at the disin-
terment of the body of Robert Burns, the
poet, (some time in the year 1915, } for the
purpose of being entombed beneath splen-
did monument.
A report having been spread that the
principal coffin was made of oak, hope
was entertained that it would be possible to
transport it from the north to the east cor
ner Of st. Michael's without opening the
sacred deposit it contained But this hope
proved fallacious. On testing the coffin it
was found to be composed of the ordinary
materials and ready to yield to the slightest
pressure; and, the lid removed, spectacle
was unfolded which considering the fame
of the mighty dead, has rarely been wit
messed by single human being. There
were the remains of the great poet, to ap-
pearance nearly entire, and retaining vari

to the sleep Of death-the lordly forehead,

most of the workmen stood bare and uncov-
cred as DR.. Gregory did at the exhumation
of the hero Of Bannockburn, and at the
same time felt their frames thrilling with
some undefnable emotion as they gazed on
the ashes of him whose fame is as wide S
the world itself. But the effect was INC

"A LEGEND OF LIFE AND LOVE.
BY WALTER WHITMAN.


UpoN the banks Of pleasant river once
stood d cottage, the residence of an ancient
man, whose limbs were feeble with the
weight of years and former sorrow. In his
appetites easily gratiied, like the simple
race Of people among whom he lived, eve
nv want was supplied by a few fertile acres.
Those acres were titled and tended by two
brothers, grandsons Of the old man, and
dwellers also in the cottage. The. parents
of the boys lay buried in a tomb near by.
Nathan, the elder, had hardly seen his
twentieth summer. He was a beautiful
youth. Glossy hair clustered upon his head,
and his cheeks were very brown from sun
shine and air. Though the eyes of Nathan
were soft and liquid like a girls, and his
lips curled with a voluptuous swell, exer.
else and labor had developed his limbs into
noble and manly proportions. The bands
ofhunters as they met sometimes to start
off together for game upon the neighboring
hills, could hardly show one among their

We have bur few comments to make upon the
communication of our correspondent E. c., which
has been unavoidably postponed until to-day. We
candidly confess we have no longer disposition
TO discuss the American title TO Oregon. Since
the publication of our former article in reply to oar
correspondent we have received sufficient evidence
To assure us that but little difference of opinion ex
lists in his Country upon the subject. Our title
TO the whole of Oregon seems 10 be utmost uniVer-
sally acknowledged; and those even who express
doub;, ore forced to knowledge its superiority
to the claims Of G eat Britain. But there isanoih-
er reason why we should no longer entertain this
discussion. Our readers have already been surfei-
ted by the prolix debates in Congress, although
vet scarcely commenced, and we are not disposed
to run the rick of Increasing their nausea by any
renewed efforts Of our own. In addition 10 this,
we can fad nothing in ;he present communication
Of our correspondent that calls on US for a reply
The issue between US was The AmeritaH tile to

forth the foundation of our exclusive rights; we
can see in the present, answer to our arguments
With sincere respect for its esteemed author, ii

II ia true our correspondent refers US TO an ari-
Gle in the ALBION, an English newspaper published
in New York. for exposition Of his views; but
we confess, pressed as for time, we have
been unable glance at its contents, although, in
Difference TO his request, We shall take advantage
Of our earliest leisure 10 DO So At the same time
we mus, say that we had much rather receive the
opinions Of our correspondent expressedin his own
forcible language, than undertake TO search them
out amidst the intricate Off ronderous review
Our opinions upon this subject have been already
eIabora,ely expressed in the columns of our paper
We have rever laid claim to exemption from error,
that general infimity of the human race. Nor
have we claimed the possession Of exclusive patri-
otism and devotion to the just rights Of our coua-
try. We have simply advocated the American
title to Oregon believing il, as did, To be I'M
questionable. If others have favored British pre-
tensions, is not because have patriotism,
bu, because they disposed to view the suhjcc,
