CeltIIy That
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1861-08-21
A Delightful Legend.

There IS a charming tradition connected
with the site on which the temple ofSolo-
mon was erected. 1t is said to have been
occupied in common by two brothers, one
Of whom had a family +; the other had none.
On this spot was a field of wheat. On the
evening succeeding the harvest, the wheat
having been gathered in separate shocks,
the elder brother said to his wife
"My younger brother is unable to bear
the burden ana heat of the day | will
arise, take of my shocks, and place with
his, without his Knowledge
The younger brother, being actuated by
the same benevolent motives, said within
himself:
"Ny older brother has family, and
have none; | will contribute to their sup
port | will arise, take of my shocks, and
place with his without his knowledge"
Judge Of their mutual a~stonishment
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 mystery.
They did so when, on the following night,
they met each other half way between
their respective shocks, with their arms
tuII.-Upon ground hallowed with such
associations as this, was the temple Of
Solomon erected-so spacious and mag
n%ificent the wonder and admiration O
the world. Alas! in these days, how
many would sooner steal their brothers
whole shock than add to it a single sheal
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1861-08-21

Returning Thanks on the Field of Battle.

We have heard an incident connected
with the battle at Bethel, which should 90
30 the world rs indicating the character of
the men who have taken the field in de-
fence Of the Liberties Of the South. Du.
ring the action in question, one of the Vir-
ginia companies, commanded by Capt. Jno.
). Walker, of Richmond sonsin>law to
the late Capt. John S. Otey, Of this city
occupied a position Of great peril as a
corps de reserre, in which, though exposed
to the shots Of tic enemy, they were not
allowed to participate in the defence
When tho battle was ended, Capt. Walk
CTS company received orders to fall back
upon Yorktown, aud, early IN the march
were drawn UP before their commander,
who addressed them upon the incidents of
the day and adyertcd to the wonderful
manner in which they had been preserved,
ascribing the delivcrance to the Lord Of
hosts. The captain then proposed that
they should return thanks to their Al
mighty Protector, who bad shielded them
IN the time Of hattie and there, in the
presence OF knecling hosts, resting upon
their arms, and in Gods own temple of the
earth and sky, be sent up such thanksgiv-
ing and supplicatjous rs melted every
heart. The CHRISTIAN warriors soul over
flowing with gratitude, poured forth in
touching strains its dcvout acknowledge
mcnts to the Lord Of Sabbaoth. The
scene, we are informed, was inspiring, and
several Of the soldiers subsequently in-
formed their captain chat their views upon
these subjects had undergone an entire
change. Such is the influence Of a chris
tian officer to coVateract the demoraliz;ug
effects of war, and Of idIoness in CAMPS
Who would not rat or commit his sons to
the guardianship Of such a man, than to
the control OF one who, however HIGH his
reputation for mere brute courage, has no
appreciation Of his responsibility TO q
Higher Power! What made Cromwelps
army so rcsistlcss, but TIC religious element
infused into ii Nothing turned the tide
of reverses that tie arms of the Parliament
at first sustained, but the God.fearing men
that composed the remodeied army Of the
Protector. Tho religions character Of
Washington not only influenced his own
conduct, but inspired his soldiers with rev.
erence for his peerless character, and in
sured their confidence in him to the last
Onr present commaudcr ,in,chief, Gen. Lee
Is, We are happy 70 say, also a christian
man. Like the friend of mis- ilIustriou,
