Saturday Night.

What blessed things are Saturday nights,
and what would the world do without them;
those breathing moments in the trumping
march of lie; those little twiliehts in the
broad and gairish glare Of noon, when pale
yesterday looks beautiful through the shad-
ows and 'fsces-" changed long ago." smile
sweetly again in the hush when one re.
members "lhe old iolks at home," and the
old.iashioned FIRE, and the old arm chair, md
the little brother that died, "the little sister
that was translated" ....
Saturday nights make people human set
their hearts TO beating softly, as they used to
do before the world turned them into war
drums and Jared them to pieces with tattoes.
The ledger closes with clash !: the iron
doored vaults come to with bang up 60
the shutters with will click goes the key
10 the lock. 1t is Saturday night, and bust.
mess breathes free again. The door that
has been sjar all the week, gently closes
behind him-lhe world is shut out shut 10,
rather. There are treasures alter ell, not 10
the vault, and not in the book-save in the
records 10 the old family Bible-and not in
the bank.

A Conn IA Gtteclas;aa la School.

We huve the following good one from an
authentic source: a sDb.commiltee OF a
School Board, not q thousand miles from
the city ot Lynn, were examining a clnss in
a primary school. One ot the committee
undertook to sharpen up their wits by pro
pounding the following question
"It hnd nice pie and should give two
twellths to John, two.tweltths to Isuoc, two
lweIths to Harry, and should keep half o:
the pie tor myself, wat would there be leit!'
There was profound study among the
scholars, but finally one lad held up his hand
as o signal that he was ready to answer.

more questions.

A Delightful Legend.

There is charming tradition connected
with The site on which the temple of Solom.
on was erected. 1t is said to have been oc.
cupied in comm by two brothers. one of
whom had a family; the other had none.-
On this spot was rowed field of wheat,
On the evening sucrsedi G the harvest, the
wheat having been gathered in separate
shocks, the elder brother said unto his wi e 4:
.".My-yoq9ger brother is unable to bear the
burthcn aud he 1t OF thS dly; t~wttt nrise and
tuke OF my shocks and prcs them with hi,
without his Knowledge" The younger bro
ther being actu sted by the same generous
moi'es, said, within himseI: My elder bro.

contribute IL their support; will rise and
take OF my shocks and place them with his,
without his kno"ied ye." Judge OF .h,t mu :

They did 81, when, on The following night
they met each other half way between their
