THE THRONE OF SOLOMON.

The following account of remarkabl,
piece of mechanism is taken from Persian
manuscript called "The History of Jerusa
lem." 1t purports to be a description of the
throne of King Solomon, and if the detail,
are correctly given, it undoubtedly surpasse.
any specimen of mechanism produced in
modern times No contributor of art at the
Worlds Fair in New York VII equal it:
"The sides of it were OF pure gold, the feet
ofemcrald and rubies, internixed with pearls
each of which was as big as an ostrich egg.
The throne had seven steps, on each side were
deineated orchards full Of trees, the branch
es of which were Of precious stones, repre-
sentiag fruit-ripc and unripe; on the tops
of trees were to be seen figures of plumaged
birds, particularly the peacock, the etaub, and
the kurges. All these birds Were followed
within artifeialiy, SO as occasionly to utter a
thousand melodious notes such as the ear of
mortas never heard. On the first were de
lineated vine branches, having branches of
grapes, composed of varioua sorts ofprecious
stones, fashioned in such manner as to re-
present the various eolors of purple, violet.
green and red, so rs to render the appearance
of real fruit. On the second step, on each
side of the throne, were two lions of terrible
aspect, as large as life, and formed of cast
gold.
The nature of this remarkable throne was
such, that when Solomon placed his foot on
the first step, the birds spread forth their
wings, and made flutterine noise in the air.
On his touching the second step, the two IL
ons expanded their claws. On his reaching
the third step, the whole assembly of demons
and fairies and men repeated the praise of the
Deity. When he arrived at the fourth step.
voices were heard addressing him in the fol-
lowing manner :-"Son of David, be thank
full for the blessings the Almighty has be-
slowed upon YOU" The same was repeated
on his reaching the fifth step. On his touch
ing the sixth all the children of Israel Joined
them; and on his arrival at the seventh, all
the throne, birds an animals became in mo-
ton, and ceased not until he had placed HIM
self in the royal seat, when the BIRDS lions,
and other animals, by secret springs, discharg-
ed shower of the most precious perfumes on
Solomon; after which, two of the kurgeses
descended and placed the golden crown up
on his head. Before the throne was a col
umn of FURNISHED gold, on the top of which
was golden dove which held in its beak a
volume bound in silver. In this book was
written the Psalms of David; and the dove
having presented the book to the king, he
read aloud a portion of it to the children of
Israel.

she heard her say her evening prayer, and.
folding her tenderly to her bosom, blessed
her, ana told her that the angels would take
care OF her. And the little child slept-and
dreamed-oh, such pleasant dreams-of warm
stockings and new shoes, butthe mother sew
ed on, alone. And, as the bright spangles
gllttered on the satin slipper, came there no
repinings in her heart When the thought
OF her little child's bare and cold feet. and of
the scant morsel of dry bread. Which had
not satisfied her hunger came there no Wis
ions OF a bright room and gorgeous clothing,
and table loaded with all that was rood and
nice, one little portion of which, spared to her,
would send warmth and comfort to her hum
bic dwelling!
If such thoughts came, and others-of
pleasant cottage, and of one who had dearly
loved her, and whose strong arm had kept
want and trouble from her and her babes.
but who could never come back-if these
thoughts did come, repiningly, there came al
so another: and the widow hands were clasp
cd and her head bowed low, in deep contri-
ton, as heard her say, Forgive, forgive me,
for thou dost all things well, and | will trust
thee. Just then the door opened softly, and
some one entered. Was itan angel! Her dress
was of spotless white, and she moved with
noiseless step. She went to the bed where
the sleeping child lay, end covered it with
soft, warm blankets. Then presently a fire
sparkled and blazed there, such as the little
old CRATE had never before known. Then a
huge loaf was upon the table, and fresh milk
for the sick babe. Then she passed gently
before the mother and drawing the unfinisi
ed slipper from her hand, and placing there
purse of gold, she said, in voice ike music.
"Bless thy God, who is the God of the father
less and the widow"-and she was gone only.
as she went out, heard her say. '6eter than
dtanaonds-better than diamondsi" What
could she mean? | looked at the mother.
With clasped hands; and streaming eyes, she
blessed her God who had sent an angel to
comfort her. So | went too; | went to a
bright room, where there were music and dan
eng, and sweet flowers; and | saw young,
happy faces, and beautiful women, richly
dressed, and sparkling with jewels; but none
that L knew, until one passed me- whose dress
was of simple white, with only rose bud on
her bosom, and whose voice was like the sweet
sound of a lute.-No spangled slipper Gilt
tered upon her foot; but she moved as one
that treadeth upon the air, and the divine
beauty of that holiness had SO glorified her
face, that felt, as gazed upon her, that she
was indeed an angel of God

O'DOnOhue's Escape from Van Die mans
Land.

From the published narrative of O'Dono-
hue's escape, we take one of the numerous
interesting passages. 1t appears that Mr.
ODonohue went on board a steamer at Laun-
ceston, at o'clock, on the Goth of December
last, and was concealed in part of the vessel
which the police failed to penetrate after a
vigilent search. He SAYS:
ION. placed me in his berth, where lay
until 4 o'clock, and was then removed to the
engine room, and at y o'clock, ON led me
through the furnace room to the receptacle
used for holding the Goals consumed by the
furnaces. 1t was adjoining the furnaces, but
petitioncd off with sheet iron. In the centre
of this was an aperture, or trap door, under
meath. The cavity, surrounded everywhere
with burning flames, was selected as the ap-
artment that | was to occupy. Ipushcd for
ward into the first chamber on hands and
feet. ON. having forced the trap door, he
launched me into the cavity beneath it. He
then closed the trap door, and directly filled
the entire space with GOALS. I ,cas enscon-
ced an q compartment about scren feet a,

by its formation | was obliged to lie in re.

with sheet iron, when the furnaces came to

tant death by suttocation or apoplexv. The
ordeal, too, was terribly tedious. Affcr a bout

by means of an opening in the ships keel
| was then placed between the two great ele-
ments, fire and water saturated from head Ia

me.
"Thc police search occupied two hours, af-
ter which ON. opened the trap door, and

he brought me into the engine room. was
greatly exhausted, but soon rallied.
Thus ended the police search at Launcos-
ton; but, on reaching Georges Town Heads,
being 40 miles down the river. ON inform
ed that | should again conceal myself in the
same place that l had just been in, as the
search in Georges Town for prisoners was
even more rigorous than at Launceston. The
anticipation of the second life or death or

PoLrTESEss.-By endeavoring to acquire
the habit of politeness, it will soon become
familiar, and sit on you with ease, if not with
elegance Let it not be forgotten that genu-
inc poltencss is a great fosterer of family love,
it alIays accidental irritation, by preventing
harsh retorts, and rude contradictions; it soft
ems the boistcrous, stimulates the indolent,
suppresses selfishness, and by forming a hab-
it OF consideration for others, harmonizes the
whole. Politeness begets politenes, and broth
ers may easily be won by it, to leave off the
rude ways they bring home from school or
college Sisters ought never to receive any
little attention without thanking them for it,
never to ask favor of them but in courteous
terms, never to reply to their questions in
monosyllables, and they Will soon be asham-
ed to do such things themselves. Both pre-
cept and example ought to be laid under
contribution, to convince them that no one
can have really good manners abroad, who is
not habitually polite at home.

Weighing Live Cattle by Measure.

The only instrument necessary is tape mea-
sure, with feet and inches marked upon it.
The girth is the circumference of the animal
just behind the shoulder blades The length
is the distance from the shoulder blade to the
rear of the bullock. The superficial feet arc
obtained by multiplying the girth and length
The following table contains the rule to as
certain the weight of the animal:
If less than one foot in girth multiply SUI
pcrficial feet by eleven.
If less than five and more than three, null
tiply superficial feet by sixteen.
If less than seven and more than five null
tiply superficial feet by twenty-three.
If less than nine and more than seven, null
tiply superficial feet by thirty three.
lfless than eleven and more than nine, null
tiply superficial feet by forty-two.
Erompte.-Suppose the girth of bull
lock to be six feet three inches; length, five
feet six inches. There would then be three
and a half superficial feet, which multiplied
by eleven, gives thirty-eight and a hall
pounds as the weight of the animal when
dressed.
In this way the weight of the four quar-
tiers can be substantially ascertained during
life.-Boston Trdceter.

THE NEXT SrATE.-The next State that
will knock for admission will be Oregon. Since
April last, swarm of emigration has been
pouring upon her, of such volume as must
soon make her lit to take her seat in the Sen
ate. From January up to last dates, the ar
rivals from the East have amounted to over
ten thousand. This, added to the thirty thou
sand which it is supposed she had last fall,
makes her present Notwithstanding the
babies which have arrived at maturity since
the last census-about forty-fve thousand.
The people who 90 to Oregon are hard-fst-
ed farmers; men who prefer the certainty of
yellow corn to the allurments of gold or the
temptations of California. Indifference be-
tween the population of Oregon and that Of
California is just the difference between acart
horse and racer One is all utility, and the
other all excitement. California will ALWAYS
have the most mills. With the exception of
gold dust, Oregon has more natural advantages
than any other country in the world. With
a climate as fine as that of Virginia or Mary
land, it can brag of soil whose richness will
challenge comparison with that Of the mex
haustible prairie. In the way of timber, no
country on earth can approachit it, consequently
it is destined to become the great lumber re-
gion of the Pacific The distance, which for
mery frightened people from seeking home
III Oregon, steam has reduced to pleasure
trip. BY the means of the several new lines
of steamers, people can go from New York to
Oregon in less than five weeks Three years
ago it took from six to nine months. In adj
dition to agricultural and lumber riches, Or
gonissingularly blessed with mineral wealth.
On the Columbia, iron ore exists in almost
endless quantities; and the same may be said
of copper, platna lead, plumbago, sulphur,
and salt. To develope the productveness of
these treasures, all that is required is time and
population. The former lis coming along now,
and the latter will be along in year or two.
TO men of patience and perseverance, there
is no portion of our glorious country which
holds out more prosperous inducements than
Oregon. The Vice President will please see
that two more chairs are Immediately added

TIE APPLE CHoP,-The apples in this
section will be almost an entire failure, ow-
ing in part it is supposed to the extreme wet
weather when the tree was in blossom which
caused them to blast. Of those that remain
most have a worm in them from the blossom
end; and by many it is thought that the egg
WIS deposited before the fruit was formed.
We call the attention of Horticulturists to
the subject in the hope that it may be inves-
tigated and ascertain whether it is caused by
the season, or whether there is an insect that
destroys the apples as well as plumes in tho
blossom, or on the formation of the fruit
