llQSgGl 3 NgOUS,
TIE TWO BROTHERS.

The following beautiful Arabian legend
we copy from the q Voice of Jacob"
The site occupied by the Temple of
Solomon was formerly a cultivated field,
possessed in common by two brothers,
One of them was married and had several
children; the ether was unmarried They
lived together, however, in the greatest
harmony possible, cultiyating 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 them on
the field During the night the unmarried
brotherwas struck with anexcellent thought
Ny brother, said lie to 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 and took from
his stack several sheaves, which he added
to those Of his brother; and this he did
with as mach secrecy as if he had been
committing an evil action, in order that his
offering might not be rejected.
On the same night the other brother
awoke and said to his wife, q My brother
lives alone without companion he has
none to assist him in his labor nor reward
him tor his tolls, while God has bestowed
on me wife and children; is it right that
we should take from our common field as
many shcayes as he, since we have already
morc than he kas-domestic happiness
If you consent, we shall, BY adding secret
ly a number Of our sheaves 10 his stack,
BY way Of compensation and without his
knowledge, see his portion Of the harvest
increased. This object was approved and
Immediately put in execution.
IN the morning, each of the brothers
went into the field, and was much surprised
at seeing the stacks still equal During
several successive nights the same cohtri-
vance was repeated on each side each kept
adding to his brothers store, but the stacks
always remained the same But one night,
both having stood sentinel to divine the
miracle, they met each bearing the sheaves
mutually designed for the other. 1t was
thus that all was elucidated, and they rush
ed into each others arms, each grateful to
Heaven for having SO good brother
Now, says the legend, the place where
so good an idea had simultaneously occur
red to the two brothers, and with so much
pertinacity, must have been acceptable to
God. Men blessed it, and Israel chose it,
there to erect the house of the Lord
LoDtortine.

sHINGLING A HOUSE.

James Ii was young man who
commenced life with every fattering pros
pect, and a wife and children soon blessed
him, Unhappily, by slow degrees he be-
came-to make a long matter short-a
drunkard. One evening he left his wife
in tears, as was too common, repaired to
the house of a man who sold him the dead
ly poison, and drank 50 much that he sank
down in kind Of stupefaction easily mis-
taken for sleep. All his companions had
deserted him. Near midnight the land
lords wife came into the bar room and said
to him:
Il wish that man would 60 home, if he's
got one to go to-
Hush! hush says the landlord, he
will call for something else directly.
8 ] wish he would make haste about it,
then, for it is time every honest person was
in bed, said his wife.
He's taking the shingles off his house
and putting them on ours, said the land
lord.
At this time James began to come to his
senses, commenced rubbing his eyes, and
stretched himself, as if he had just awoke,
saying, | believe I'll 60
Don't be in hurry, james, said the
landlord
20, yes, / must go, says James; $50 good
night and off he started
After an absence of some time, the land
lord one day met and accosted him.
Halloo, Jim, why haven't you been to
see us p
why, says james, | had taken shin
giles enough off my house, and it began to
leak, so / thought it was time to stop the
leak, and I've done it.
The tavern keeper, astonished, went
home to tell his wife about it, and James
ever since has let rum alone and attended
to his own business He is now happy
man, and his wife and children are happier
than ever.

ETERNITY

Eternity has 10 grey hairs. The flowers
fade, the heart withers, man grows old and
dies, the world lies down in the sepulchre
of ages, but time writes no wrinkle on the
brow Of eternity
Eternity stupendous thought the ever
present unborn, undecaying and undying
the endless chain, comprising the life of
God-the golden thread, cntwining the
destinies of the universe
Earth has its beauties, but time shrouds
them for the grave; its honors, they are
but the sunshine of an hour; Its palaces,
they are but as the gilded sepulchre; its
possessions, they are toys Of changing for
tune; It's pleasures, they are but as burthcn-
