BEAUTIFUL EXrRAcT-lt is seldom
we meet with so sweet sentiment, IL
lustratcd in SO appropriate figure, and
expressed IN such beautiful language,
as the following:
Charity. Might had kissed the young
rose, and it bent softly TO sleep. Stars
shone, and pure dew drops hung upon
its blushing bosom, and watched It's
sweetest slumbers. Morning came, with
its dancing breezes, and they whisper
cd to the y ung rose, and it awokc JOY
Gus and smiling. Lightly it danced to
and fro in all the lpveliness of health and
youthful innocence. Then came the
ardent sungod sweeping from the east,
and he smote the young rose with lis
scorching rays, and it iainted, Desert
ed and almost heart broken, ii dropped
to the dust in loneliness and despair
, Now the gentle breeze which had been
gambolling over the sea, rushing on
the home bound bark, sweeping over
the hill and dale, by the neat cottage
and still brook, turning the old mill tam
ming the brow OF disease, and irsAing
the curs OF innocent chlldhooi, came
, tripping along on her errand OF mercy
and love ; and when she saw the young
rose she FASTENED TO kiss it, and iondly
bathed lis forehead in cool, refreshing
showers; and the young rose revived,
looked up and smiled in gratitude to the
kind breeze but sac hurried quickly
away her generous task was performed
yet not without rcward-ior she soon
perceived that delicious fragrance
had been poured on her wings by the
grateful rose and the kind breeze was
glad in heart, and went away singing
through the trees Thus real, true
charity, like the breeze, gathers fra
GRANGE from the dropping flowers it re-
trcslcs and unconscious'y leaps Il re-
ward in the performances Of It's Offices
Of kindness, which steals upon the heart
like rich perfume, to bless and cheer
SoLoMoN's TEMPLE. We find in an
English PAPER the following extract
from an unpublished lecture on the pro
gress of the arts and sciences, and the
antiquity of Freemasonry:
"Frecmtsonry, we are informed, was
reduced TO rules at the building of Solo
mons Temple, and there is every rea-
son to believe that some bond Of union
was necessary in such a congrcgatcd
mass OF workmen:
The number Of masons employed in
bu lding the temple was one hundred
and thirteen thousand six hundred, be-
sides the men of burden, not ircc-ma-
sons, who amounted to seventy thou
sand more.
"Thc iootstonc Of this mighty fabric
was leveled in the fourth year Of Solo
mons reign, the third after the death
of David, and the iS0th year after the
passage of the Hebrews through the
Red Sea. The building commenced in
Mount Moriah, on Monday, the second
day ofthe month Zif which answers to
the 2lst OF our April, and it was finish.
ed in all parts in IL little more than sew
EN- years, on the Sth day of the month
BuH which answers to our 23d day of
October being the second month of the
: sacred year, and the eleventh Of Solo
mons reign. Every piece OF the cdi-
flee, whether timber, stone, or metal,
was ready cut, framed or polished at
Jerusalem, so that no other tool was
wanting, no other sound was heard
than what was necessary to Join the
several parts together. All the noise OF
the axe, hammer and saw, was confn-
ed TO the forests Of Lebanon, and the
quarrcs and plains OF Zcredadcth, that
nothing might be heard among the ma
sons of Zion but harmony and peace"
