Stars trembling o.er MS and sunset before us,
Mountains in shadow and forests asleep,
Down the dim river we float on forever.
Speak not, ah, breathe not there's peace on The
deep.
Come not pale Sorrow, flee tin tomorrow,
Rest softly falling DER eyelds that weep;
While down the river we feat on forever.
Speak not, ali, breathe not-thereis peace on the
deep.
Heaven shine above us, bless oil that love us,
All whom we love in thy tenderness keep;
While down the river we float on forever.
Speak not, ah, breathe not-there' peace on the
deep.
A DELIGHTFUL LEGEND. There il a charming
tradition connected with the site on which the
Temple of Solomon was erected. 1t is said TO
have been occupied in common by two brothers,
one Of whom had family; the other had none.
On this spot was soEn field Of wheat. On the
evening succeeding the harvest, the wheat havinr
been gathered inseparate shocks, the elder brother
said unto his wife, My younger brother Is unable
to bear the burden and heat Of the day; will
arise, take Of my shocks and place with his, with
ont his knowledge The younger brother, being
aetuated by the same benevolent motives, said
within himself, My elder brother has a family
and have none I will contribute to their sup
port; will arise, take Of my shocks and place
with his, without his knowledge" Judge OF their
mutual astonishment when, on the following morn
ing, they found their respective shocks undnin-
shed This course of events transpired for several
nights, when each resolved in his own mind to
stand guard and solve the mystery. They did 80
when. on the following night, they met each other
half way between their respective shocks, with
{hair full hall
associations as this was the temple Of Solomon
erected so spacious and magnificent, the wonder
and admiration Of the world. Alas in these days,
how many would soonersteai their brothers whole
shock than add to it single sheaf!
A Boy G0NVIGTED or MURDER in THE SRcoND
DEGsEE.-The trial Of benjamin Reyburn for the
murder Of snsan Emma Kimble, at West Chester
Pa terminated on Saturday, the 1sth. in the jury
rendering verdict of murder in tho second de-
gree. The actor in this fearful murder is but six
teen years old, and the murdered girl was but nine
The victim disappeared in October last, just after
being seen In the field where Reyburn was ploW-
ing. subsequently, her body, with marks of vio-
lence was found in mill-pond. On Reyburn was
found blood, his shirt and his pantaloons being
marked with its traces. Yet. according to the tes
timony, he had done full days work at plowing;
had gone to religious meeting on the evening of
the day Of the murder, and acted throughout in
wonderful consistency with his protestation OF in
nocenee. He accounted for the blood by saving
that his nose had bled, matter not difficult OF be-
lief. as he was ploWing land both stony and

QuENcH1Na THIRST. = Nearly q hundred years
ago, Dr.. Lind suggested to Captain Kennedy thaf
thirst might be quenched at sea By dipping The
clothing in salt water, and putting il on without
wringing. Subsequently, the captain, on being
cast away, had an opportunity of making the ex-
pertinent. With great difficulty he succeeded in
persuading part of the men to follow his exam
pie, and they all survived while the four who re-
fused and drank salt water, became defifious and
died. In addition to putting on the clothes, while
wet, night and morning, they may be wetted while
on, two or three times during the day. Captain K
goes on to say: After these operations we uni-
formy found that the violent dranght went of, and
the parched tongne was cured in few minutes
after bathing and washing our clothes, while we
found ourselves much refreshed as if we had re-
ceived some actual nourishment.n The bare pos.
sibility Of the truth of the statement makes it 9
humanity for any paper to give It wide publicity,
since there are not many readers in any hundred
who may not 50 to sea and be shipwrecked.
