The Two Brothers.

The following beautiful Arabian legend
is copied from the Vtice of Jacob:
The site occupied by the Temple of Sol
omon was formerly q cultivated field, pos,
sessed in common by.two brothers. They
lived together, however, in the greatest hnr.
mony possible, cultivating the property
they had inherited from their fnther. .s
The harvest season bad arrived. The
two brothers bound up their sheapes, made
two equal stacks of them, and left them on
the field. During the night the unmarried
brother was struck with an excellent
thought. l- tr.y
"My BROTHER" said he 10 himself, "has
wife and children to support; is it just that
my portion Of the harvest should be as
large as his!" Upon this he arose: took
fr1m his stack several sheayes, which he ad
ded 10 those of his brother; and this he did
with as much secrecy as if he had been
committing an evil action, in orcer that his
Offering might not be rejected.
=
On the same ni-ht the other brother
uwoke and sara % his vie, "My brother
lives alone without companion; he has
none to assist him in his labor or 10 r.WaJd
him ior his tolls, wiile Gcl ia, bestowed
on mc wife and children; it is not right
that we should tahe from oH- common field
Sba u, hau n
ready more happiness than he has-domes-
TIC happiness. II you consent, we shall by
adding secretly a number of sheaves to his
stock by way of compensation, and without
Ills knowed. .e, see his portion Of the harvest
increased The object was approved and
Immediately Put in execution.
In the morning, each of the brothers
went into the field and were much surpris-
ed at seeing the stacks still equal During
several successive nights the same contrv.
ance was repeated on each side, for each
kept adding to his brothers store, and the
stacks always remained the same. But one
night, both having sentinels to divine into
the cause of this miracle, they met, each
bearing the sheaves mutually intended for
the other. IT was elrcidated, and they
| rushed into each others arms, each grateful
to heaven for having SO good brcthor.
Now, says the legend, the place where SO
good an idea had simultaneously occurred to
the two brothers, with SO much pertnacity
must have been acceptable to God. Mer
blessed it, and Israel chose it, thefe to cree

ImpcrishabiIity of Examples.


The following eloquent passage ours in
Eyerett's great oration: ....
"To be cold aud heartless-to feel and
sneak not-this is not the end Of existence
10 the men who have breathed their spirit
into the institutions Of their country, who
who have stamped their characters on the
pillars OF the age, who have poured their
hearts blood into the channels of the public
prosperity. Tell me, ye who tread the SOD
on yon sacred height, is Warren dead! Can
YOU not still see him, not pale and PROSTATE,
the blood of his gallant heart pouring out OF
his ghastly wound, but moving respIendent
over the field of honor, with the rose OF the
heavens upon his cheek and the fire OF hb'
erty in his eye! Tell the, ye sho make
your pious pilgrimage to the shades of Yer.
non, is Washington, indeed, shut up in that
cold and narrow house? That which made
these men cannot die. The hand that traced
the charter of Independence is, indeed mo-
4ionless, the eloquent lips that sustained it
are hushed; but the lofty spirits that con.
ceiyed, resolved, and muintained it, and
which alone, to such men, make it life tc
Aive,' these cannot expire" ...

The PhiIesophy of ENDURANCE
BY CHARLES MAcKLY.

tHH.#F
Were the lonley acorn never bound
In the rude cold grasp Of the rotting ground;
Did the rigid frost never harden up
The mold above its bursting cup;
We're Il never soaked by the rain and NALL
Or chilled by the breath of the wlntry gaie'
II would not sprout in the sunshine 'ree'
Or, give the promise of tree Co. p
II would not spread to the summer all
Its lcngthening boughs and b-rfshes fair'
To form d bower where in summer nights
Spune love might dream unknown defgh'Si
Or stand IN the woods among the peers,
ped by the dews Of thousand years.
Were never the dull, unseenly ore'
prags,d from the depth where 1t slept oi !ore
ENdre Il never cast into the scorchlng namS'
20 be purged Of impurity and shame;
, Were II never molten mid burning brands
or bruised and beaten BY stalwort hands, n,
4. would never be known as thing of worth !;
1t would never emerge to noOler oirlh
II would never be formed into mystic rings
To fetter loves erratic wings;
II would never shine amid priceless sems'
Or the gerth of immortal diadems;
Nor become to the world power and piide'
Cherished, 'ddored, and deihed.
So thoh, oh man of-noblc soul,
Starting In view of glorious goal,
Hyert thou never exposed to blasts forlorn-
Ths storms of sorrow--the sleets of scorn;
Vert thou never refined in pitfless fire,
From the dross of thy sloth and mean desire;
Vert thou never taught to feel ard know
That the truest love has its roots in woe'
Thou wouldst never unravel the complex plan'
Or reach half way to the perfect man;
grhou wouldst never attain the tranquil height
Where wisdom puriHes the sight,
And God unfolds to the humblest gaze .-.
The bliss and beauty Of His ways.
