animals in our vicinity -
About three weeks ago two little boys

from the Long Pond and on its outlet, went

They at first supposed ii 10 be deer, and
thinking i: strange that ii did not run, went
on 10 the spring, ,he oldest passing within
five or six feet OF the animal, which he by
this time discovered was not a deer. 1t
made a spring passing close by him, he
said, "he thought it was going TO jump right
on him" lie then dipped mp his water
and they started for :he house The panther
followed them alternately before and be-
hind them, but always within a short dis
tance, the dog "a middle sized one) keeping
between him aud the boys and maintain

rods, when coming within about twenty
rods and in sight o. The house, the whisker'
ed gentleman left them 10 make the remain.

A DELiGH TFuL LEGEND.-There is char
ming tradition connected with the site upon
which The Temple of Solomon was erected.
II is said 10 have been occupied in common
BY two brothers, one of whom had family;
the her had none. On the spot was sowu
ing the harvest, the wheat having been
gathered in separate shocks, the elder broth
er said unto his wife. "My younger broth
er is unable TO bear the burden and heat of
the day will arise, take off my shocks,
ard place with his, without his knowledge" I"
The younger brother, being actuated by the
same benevolent motives, said within nim-
self, ';My elder brother has family, and |
have none; will attribute this TO their sup
port will arise, take off my shocks, and
place with his, without his knowledge. p
Judge of their mutual as,onishment, when
on the following morning, they found their
respective shocks undiminished. This course
of events transpired for several nights,
when each resolved in his own mind to
stand guard and solve the myslery. They
did so, when on the following night, they
met each other half way between their re-
speciive shocks, with their arms fnl Upon
ground hallowed with such associations as
this was The Temple OF Solomon erected
so spacious and magnifceni-ihe wonder
aud admiration of the world. Alas +! in
these days, how many would sooner steal

claims for the Chief Magistracy, pledging

WusDER WHAT'S THE REASON (!
By J. S. BuaFHART.

There's little lovely valley,
A romantic "Sprucy DELL"
Where my spirit often wanders-
WHATS the cause ] cannot tell
There | long to sit and listen,
To the cheerful morning lay,
Of joyons liltle feathered Tribe,
A singing all the day.
There are gentle summer sunbeams,
Where the fragment flowers grow,
And they set my heart ihrobbing-
WHAT'S The cause do moi know
Over yonder in the valley
Down along the "Sprucy DELL"
Lives fair and gentle Madden
Wonder whether she could tell
Wonder whether she is thinking,
Of these singing litile birds
Whether sweeter strains OF music,
Could not dwell Ia LILLE words.
Yes, wonder whether Cupid,
With his funny little dart.
Ever writes his sweetest music,
On the tablet of her heart.
Shouldn't wonder when | know it,
] have seen her bosom heayo-
And lovely smile upon her face,
That taught me to believe.
But wonder what's The reason,
Why love the s'Sprucy Dell"
Why love the ''mossy valley"-
Could the gentle Maiden tell!

'Tis a wonder why ] should,
But couldn't tell the reason,-
No, wouldn't if could.
