Judah and his brethren, the seven pillars Of
wisdom, sat in The Court of the temple on
feasl-day, dispuiing abont rest. One said
that it was to have attained sufficient wealth,
yet without sin. The second, that il was
fame and praise Of all men. The third, that
it was the possession of power TO rule the
state. The fourth, that it consisted only in
a happy home. The fiih, ,batit must be on

children's children. The sixth saio that all
were vain unless man keep all the ritual

erable, the tallest of the Brothers, said; sYe
have spoken wisely, but one thing more is
necessary, he only can find rest, who to all
these things addeth this, that he keepeth the
tradition of the elders.'
"There sat in the Court fair-haired boy
playing with his lilies in his lap, and hear

SUMMER MUSIC.


Through the open window,
As welcome conner
Breathes upon my forehead
The warm breath Of summer.
The old forests mufmur
In the fragrant air;
Leofy elves are telling
Their sweet love tales there.
Ard the rivulets ramble
Through the meadow grass, 4
To the bathing dowsrs
Singing as they pass!
In the fairy concert
With sweet notes and high.
Gentle birds are thrilling
Music in the sky.
Through the open furryws
Cleans the rushing share,
While the plough boy whistles
To the listening air.
All Is love and labor,
All is merry song.
May the days that follow
Swell the chorus long.

GLASS IN DAIRlEs.-The attention af dai-

Of electricity, in the preservation Of milk in
glass pans. 1t was only short time since
that we we're shown glass bottle full Of
milk that had been preserved in India aud

months preservation, was not only found to
be perfectly sweet, but to contain in solid
and cohesive state, small quantity of ex.
cellent butter: while the milk preserved in
the lin case daring the voyage had gone to
acid, 1t now appears that glass milk-p ans
produce almost equally remarkable results;
