A Delightful Legend.


There is charming tradition connect
ed with the sight on which the temple of
solomon was erected. It is said to have
been occupied in common by two broth
ers, one Of whom had a family; the other
had none. On the spot was sown 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 heat and burden Of the day; I will
arise, take Of my shocks and place them
with his without his knowledge"
The younger brother being actuated by
the same benevolent motives, said to HIM
self:
"My elder brother has family, I have
none; will contribute to their support;
I will arise, take my shocks and place
them with his, without his knowledge"
Judge of their mutual establishment
when on the following morning they
found their respective shocks undiminish-
ed. 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 fol
lowing 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 Tenn
pie of Solomon erected-so spacious and
magnificent, the wonder and admiration OF
the world Alas! in these days, how
many would sooner steal their brothers
whole shock, than add to it asingle sheaf.

Gne Of John Phmnix's Dodges.

A California paper tells. the following
Of Lieutenant Derby, "John Phmnix,"
the humorist:
zone evening at the theatre Phoenix
observed man sitting three seats in front,
whom he thought he knew; he requested
the person next to him to punch the 9th
er individual with is cane. The polite
stranger did so, and the disturbed person
turning his head little, he discovered
his mistake-that he was not the person
he took him for. Fixing his attention
steadfastly on the play, and affecting I'M
consciousness of the whole affair, he left
the man with the cane to settle with the
other for the disturbance, who, being
wholly without an excuse, there was Of
course ludicrous and embarrassing scene,
during all Of which Phoenix was pro-
foundly interested in the play.
At last the man with the cane asked,
rather Indignantly:
Didn't you tell me to punch that man
with my stick p
eyes"
"And what did you want?"
II wanted to see whether you would
punch him or not"

A Great Man.

George Lippard, in his work called 'The
Nazarene," thus speaks Of General Jack
son. 'sHe was a man! Well I remem-
Der the day | waited upon him. He sat
there in his arm chair-I can see him
now. We are told of the public distress
the manufacturers ruined-in eagles
shrouded in Grape, which were carried at
the head Of twenty thousand men into
Independence Square. He heard US all.
We begged him to leave the deposits where
they were, to uphold the great bank at
Philadelphia. Still he did not say a word.
At last one Of our members more fiery
than the rest, intimated that if the bank
was crushed, rebellion might follow
Then the old man rose-I can see him
yet.
"Come," he shouted, in voice Of thun-
der as his clenched hand was raised high
above his white hair, "Come with bayo-
nets in your hand, instead of your petit
tlons-surround the White House with
your legions-I am ready for you! With
the people at my back, whom your gold
can neither awe nor buy, will swing you
up around the Capitol-each one Of YOU
on gibbet as high as Haman's."
"When [ think" says the author, of that
old man standing there at Washington
battling against all the power Of bank and
panic combined, betrayed by those in
whom he trusted-assailed by all that the
snake Of malace could hiss or the fend of
falsehood howl-when I think of that one
man placing his back against the rock,
and folding his arms for the blow, while
he uttered the VOW, II will not swerye one
inch from the course I have TAKEN" I
must confess that the records of Rome.

Silent Voices,

SlACUG toiCGS.
In all ages God has spoken to man eat
sundry times and in divers manners; :" at
first directly, as he called to Adam, when
in sin and shame he sought to conceal
himself; subsequently, through patriarchs
and prophets, by visions, signs, and mani
festations, ever declaring, "Unto you, O
men," Then in the person of Jesus he
made visible appearance, traversing the
land, and proclaiming his gospel. And
ever since by the lips of his servants, he
has been sounding out the word Of Life.
Accompanying these there have been
silent voices no less distinct and effective.
Nature through all her works, though
without speech or language, declares the
glory Of God, and showeth his handiwork,
showing clearly the Divine Being and his
projections. Providence, as it feeds and
clothes us, orders the circumstances of
our.liyes, and often comes so near us in
special dispensations, is ever speaking in
our ears. And conscience, surveying and
Interpreting all and the Holy Spirit,
through conscience, conyinces Of sin, Of
righteousness, and of Judgment. These
voices still, small, silent, are yet mighty
in power and authority. Now they are
soft and gentle as the zephyr, anon they
sweep over the soul as the tempest. But
in all God should be recognized equally
in those silent voices as in more direct
communications. Let the ear be open
and the heart ready to receive these admo-
nitions from the gracious Father, lest
through the deceitfulness Of sin we be-
come hardened, and exclude ourselves for
ever from the salvation provided -Morn-
ing Star.

AN OPINION ABOUT FIGHTING We
clip the following from Gen. D. Ell. Hills
new magazine, ssThe Land We Love-"
A general officer riding alone two days
after the retreat Of Burnside, stopped to
warm at fire where group Of Cobb's
brigade, which had defended the stone
wall, was lying down in all the listlessness
of the abandon after fight. The officer
had on a common soldiers overcoat, and
was welcomed as cavalryman to the fire
side. A country lad, farmer boy at
home, gave him a graphic description of
the fierce assault and terrible repulse, in
his own simple style, ending his narrative
with his ingenious comments on fighting
in general.
+ I have hearn many men say they were
spilen for fight, but I never did Spite for
a fight. Stranger, I've been in every fight
with my regiment, but | never did like
fighting. But when we was killing them
Yankees so purity behind that are wall,
and they wasn't hurtin us, | was rale sor-
ry to see EN- run And | tell you, Mr..
Stuart's man, that was the only time I
ever did like fighting"
Mr.. Stuart's man thanked him for his
narrative, mounted and rode on, rejecting
upon certain furious war speeches he had
heard from men whose warlike exploits in
the field had not yet become the theme Of
poetry and of song.
