A Delightful Legend.

There is charming tradition connected
with the sights on which the temple of Solo
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 sown 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, - .4 ~
"My younger brother is unable to bear the
heat and the burden of the day; will arise,
take of my shocks and place them with his
without his knowledge" 1-
The younger brother being actuated by tue
same benevolent motives, said within him
SELF ',s
'My- elder brother has family, have
none [ will contribute to their support;
will arise, take my shocks and place them
with his, without his knowledge"
Judge of their mutual astonishment 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 full Upon ground hallowed
by such association as this, was the Temple of
Solomon erected-so spacious and magnif-
cent, the wonder and admiration of the world
Alas in these days, how many would sooner
steal their brothers whole shock, than add
to it single sheaf

RULES FOR CoURTsHIp. -Courtship is pleas
ant fancy game, frequently played between
the opposite sexes, at private tables, and much
liked by the ladies. You commence with a
miss, - first ''taking your cue' from your
fair challenger's eyes. BE careful not to
force too much it is better to follow"
Never struggle for the ''lead ;" always yield
it to the lady. If she keeps you at arms
length, use the Bridge of Signs" Explain
to her the delicate maneuvers of the game
especially the advantages of the "kiss,"
which you can illustrate by concussing the
"two reds" Observe how she "banks, /" and
where this is important. Tell her what is
meant by "hugging the cushion" and hint
modestly at the kind of cushion you would
like to hug. If she scratches" don't mind
it, but play for safety" or. if you have a
chance, ''run )" but when you have a flavor
able opening make a ''bold Offer at every
''hazard.' Should you have ''bad luck"
try again; you may succeed in the t'long
run" Never think of ''pocketing BALI in
your own head if disappointed. The maxim
holds good in courtship as in billiards, that
it is madness to make a ''shot" by which you
are sure to ''hole yourself" Much depends
upon ''coaxing" in this pastime. Broadcloth,
by faithfully attending to the above hints.
will generally get the best of crinoline, and
in three cases out of five will win Glove
game"

Hark Ye. Girls!

1t is nigh time that somebody told you
little plain truth You have been watched
for a long time certain class of you; and it
is plain enough you are laying plans to cheat
somebody You intend to sell chaff for
wheat, and there is danger that some of the
foolish "gudgeons' will be sadly taken in.
1t may not be your fault that you belong
to the zone idea party the single idea
of getting a husband is the only one Which
engrosses much of your time or attention.
Your venerable mother of Eden memory.
was called ''hclp for man, and you are
looking for a man to help you to help you
to live in the half idle, half silly way which
you have commenced. Men who arc worth
having, want women for wives. A bundle
of gew-gaws with a string of flats and qua
vers, sprinkled with cologne and set in a car
mine saucer-this is no help for man who
expects to raise a family of boys and girls
and veritable bread and meat us. ~
The piano and the lace frame are we'll in
their places, and so are ribbons and frills
and tinsels-but you can't make dinner of
the former, nor bed blanket of the latter.
And awful as the idea may seem to you, both
dinner and bed blanket are necessary to do
mcstic enjoyment. Life has it's realities as
we'll as its fancies. but you make it all
matter of decoration, remembering the tas-
sells. and curtains, forgetting the bed-stead.
Suppose young man of good sense and of
course of good prospects to be looking for a
wife, what chance have you to be chosen p
You may cap him, Or trap him, to catch
him, but how much better to make it an OBJ
ject for him to catch you! Render yourself
worth catching, and you will need no shrewd
mother or managing brothers to help you to
find market.-Lancaster Antelligencer.

The Apprentices.

Two boys were apprentices in a carpen-
ter's shop. One determined to make a
thorough workman of himself the other
'didn't care" One read and studied, and
got books that would help him to understand
the principles of his trade He spent his
evenings at home, reading. The other liked
fun best. He often went with other boys to
have 'tgood game" Come" he often said
to his shopmate, ''leave your old books
come with us. What's the use of all this
reading?"
"If | waste these golden moments" an
swered the boy, II shall lose what | shall
never make up"
While the boys were still apprentices, an
offer of two thousand dollars appeared in the
newspapers for the best plan for State
House, to be built in one of the Eastern
States. The studious boy saw the advertise
ment, and determined to try for it. After
careful study he drew out his plans, and sent
them to the committee.
In about week afterwards, a gentleman
arrived at the carpenters shop, and inquired
if an architect by the name of Washington
Wherefore lived there.
"No," said the carpenter, mo architect; ;
but I've got an apprentice by that name"
ssLet's see him. said the gentleman.
The young man was summoned, and in
formed that his plan had been accepted, and
that the two thousand dollars were his. The
gentleman then said that the boy must put
up the building and his employer was. SO
proud Of his success that he willingly gave
him his time and let him 60.
The studious young carpenter became one
Of the first architects in the country. He
made a fortune, and stands high in the esti-
nation of everybody while his fellow appren-
tice can hardly earn food for himself and his
family by his daily labor.
