vieinage, Billy was sure to make at him

irritating the long bearded gentleman,
and frequently so annoyed him that he
would make war against lamp posts and

The Two BrOIhers--A Legend.

ny LAMERTINE.
The site occupied by the temple ofSol-
omon was formerly cultivated field, pos.
sessed in common by two brothers. One
ofthem was married and had several
children; the other was unmarried. They
lived together. however, ,cutlivated in the
greatest harmony possible, the property
they had Inherited from their father.
The harvest season had arrived. The
two brothers bound up their sheaves,
made two equal stacks of them and left on
the field. During The night the unmarried
brother was struck with an excellent
thonght. "My brother, said he to hlm.
self, has wife and Children 10 support;
it is not just that my portion of the har-
vest shonld be as large as his Upon
this he arose; and took from his stack
several sheaves which he added to those
of his brother; and this he did with as
much secrecy as ifhe had been commit
ting an evil action, in order that his
brothers Offering might not be rejected.
On the same night the other brother
awoke and said to his wife, My broth
er lives alone without companion; he
has none To assist him in his labors nor to
reward him for his toils-wl,ile God
has bestowed on me wife and children;
it is not right that we take from our com
mon field as many sheayes as he since
we have already more than he has--do,
mestic happiness. If you consent, by
adding secretly number ofour shoaves
by way of compensation. and without his
knowledge, see his portion Of the harvest
increased This project was approved
and Immediately put into execution.
In the morning each of the brothers
went to the field, and much surprised at
finding the stacks equal. During seve-
raj successive nights the same contrivance
was repeated on both sides; for as each
kept adding in his brothers store The
stacks always remained the same.- But
one night, both having stood sentinel
to divine into the cause Of this miracle,
they met each bearing the sheaves mu-
tualy for the other. 1t was all :hus eluci,
dated, and they rushed into each others
arms, each q aieful to Heaven for having
so good brother.
Now, says the legend the place where
so good an idea had simultaneously oc.
cured to the two brothers, and with ST.
much pertiuacity, must have been accept
able to God,-Men blessed it, and Is
rael chose it, there to erect the house
