A Legend of Judea-The Temple.

The following is translation from Lamar
tines Voyage in the East"
The site occupied by the Temple of Solomon
was formerly cultivated field, possessed in
common by two brothers. One Of them was
married and had several children, the other
was unmarried they lived together, however,
cutivating, in the greatest harmony possible,
the property they had Inherited from their
father.
The harvest season had arrived; the two
brothers bound up their sbeaves, made two
equal stacks of them, and left them on the
field During the night, the one who was un-
married was struck with an excellent thought;
My brother" said be to himself "has wife
and child 10 support; it is not just that my
share should be as large as his" Upon this
be arose, and took from his stack several
sheaves, which he added to those of his broth
er; and this he did with as much secresy as if
be had been committing an evil action, in Or
der that his brothery action might not be re-
fused. On the same night the other brother
swoke, and said to bis wife: My brother
lives alone without companion; be has rot
one to assist him 10 bis labors, nor TO reward
him for his tolls; while God has bestowed on
me wife and children; it is not right that We
should take from our field as much as be, since
we have already more than be-domestic hap
piness If you consent. we shall. by adding
secretly certain number of our sheaves 10 bis
stack, by way of compensation. and, without
his knowledge, see his portion of the harvest
increasing" The project was approved and
Immediately put into execution. In the morn
ing each of the broihers went to the field, and
was much surprised at seeing the stacks equal.
During several successive nights the same
conirivance was repeated on each side for, as
each kept adding TO bis brothers store. the
stacks always remained the same. But one
night, both having stood sentinel. TO dive into
the cause of this miracle, they met, earh bear
ing the sheaves mutually destined for The other;
il was thus all elucidatcd, and they rushed into
each others arms, each grateful to Heaven for
having so good brother. Now says the le
gend the place where so good an idea bad
simultaneously occurred to the Two brothers,
and with such periinaci,y, must have been
acceptable TO God; men blessed it, and lsreal
chose there to erect the house of the Lord.
