A DELIGHTFUL LEGEND.-There is a charm
ing 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 9TH
er none. On this spot was sown field of
wheat. On the evening succeeding the har-
vest, the wheafhaving been gathered in sepa-
rate shocks, the elder brother said to his wife,
ssMy younger brother is unable to bear the
burden and heat of the day ; will arise, take
off my shocks and place with his, without his
knowledge" The younger brother, being
actuated by the same benevolent motives, said
within himself, "My elder brother has fami-
ly, and have none; will contribute to their
support will arise, take off my shocks and
place with his without his knowledge" Judge
of their mutual astonishment when on the fol-
lowing morning, they found their respective
shocks undiminished. This course of events
transpired for several NIGHTS, when each re-
solved in his own mfnd stand guard and
solve the mystery. THlrdld SO; when, on
the following night they met each other half
way between their respective shocks, with
their arms full. Upon ground hallowed with
such 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 sooner
steal their neighbours whole shock rather than
add to it single sheaff!

Lalla Rookh. Thus, in full enjoyment of the
calm autumnal night, were our souls in sweet
commune. As we gazed at the distant stars
ana selected one as our future home, the we'll
known words of the poet rose to my lips
"0ft in my fancy's wanderings,
I've wished this little isle had wings;
And we within Its fairy bowers

from mine, and casting scornful, withering
look upon me, said, in a voice husky with o
motion
"Sir, you are brute you are drunk
She paused, as though for a reply, and
was about to say that wished were both,
when she continued
"You have insulted me both in your con-
duct and your language. You carry on fir
tations with other girls. You have a letter
from one, and when see it, you make mis-
cradle drunken apology for it. We part for
ever. Never appear in my presence again."

VEro OF THE HOMESTEAD BILL.-Mr. Buchan-
an must be a near relative of him whom the
Yankee characterized as having ssremarkably
winning ways to make people hate him." The
Northwest was already SO unanimously averse
to him that he could only intensity its dislike
into hatred but that seems an object worthy
of his ambition. The bill which he vetoed on
Saturday was not the Republican or House
Free Homestead bill, but that OF the Senate,
which nearly every Republican voted against
on its first passage, and only acquiesced in at
the last moment, in Difference to the tens of
thousands in Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, &C.,
who are liable to be elected from their rude
homes at any moment, because in their pres
ent pecuniary condition of the Northwest it
is morally impossible that they should pay 81 !
per acre for the quarter section each which is
or contains their all. The bill for their relief
finally passed the Senate with but two oppo-
sing votes; in the House it had about two to
one and this bill Mr.. Buchanan vetoes, for
reasons which apply to the Graduation and
other bills which he or his party have sane
toned, but not to this. So the last hope OF
obtaining any good from this Congress or this
administration has vanished. Shall we ever
see their like again ?-N. Y. Trfb.

A JOURNEY UNDER PARIS.

A correspondent of Swedish journal fur-
nishes an interesting account Of a subterra-
mean voyage made through one of the admira-
bly, constructed sewers of Paris. The boat
cending flight of steps to the depth of about
forty five feet. The boat, fat bottom affair,
was lighted by four lamps. The sewer is an
arch way, Ii feet high, and of equal breadth !
with ditch or canal about 10 feet wide, where
In all the dirt and filth of Paris is carried away.
On the sides are sidewalks, which together are
about four week wide. The whole is built of
beautiful white sandstone, and is kept remark
ably neat and clean. No stencil or bad smell
was perceptible. The denser portion of the
filth is carried away through large drains be-
meath the SIDEWALKS. The sidewalks are ex-
cel,ent and exhibit no signs of dampness, while
the walls of the archway are kept white-wash-
ed, and are at all times as white as the driven
snow. The structure possesses the properties
of an immense speaking tube, the workmen be-
ing able to converse at the distance OF miles
from each other. The echo is very strong and
lasting. The fabric is said to be built after
model Of the catac0mbs of Rome, aided by
all the latest improvements. On both sides,
at about two hundred yards distance from one
another, are openings, through which the
workmen can ascend by means of permanent
iron ladders, in case a sudden rain storm
should cause the water to rise over the side
walks, which is, however, of rare occurrence.
The contents of the sewer, of course, flow
into the river Seine, and the current is suffi-
cient to carry the boat used with considerable
velocity. Large reservoirs are constructed
at intervals. into which the water can be turn
ed for a short time in case it should be neces-
sary to have the canal dry for little while.
The whole work was completed in two years.
Besides the main canal there are many minor
ones constructed under the principal streets
all of which can be made to communicate with
one another. These admirable underground
works accessible from the Louvre, the Tu-
illeries and from all the barracks, and should
the Parisians take a notion to barricade the
streets in any part of the city, the Imperial
Government might, at short notice and without
any person being aware of it, transport troops,
and if there is time to make use of the reser-
voir SO can cavalry also be transported the same
way. There is an end to shooting on the SOL
diers from the windows, and revolution in
Paris will only soon be among the things that
have been, never to occur again. Through
these underground passages prisoner can ca
silly be taken from the Louvre to the Seine,
without attracting attention, and thence sent
off by railway, which is near at hand. This
splendid system of sewerage was one Of the
plot schemes of the first Napoleon.
