a DeliehtfnI Legend.

There Is charming tradition connected
with the height on which the temple of
Solomon was erected. 1t is said to have
b en- occupied in common by two brothers,
one of which had 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:
"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 knowIedge.''
The younger brother being actuated by
the same benevolent motives, said within
himself:
''My elder brother has family I have
none; will contribute to their support;
viii arise, take of my shocks and place them
with his, without his knowledge"
e Judge of their mutual astonisbment when.
on the following morning, they found their
respective shocks had been 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 associ-
ations 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 brothers whole shock
than add to II a single leaf

Advertising.

Business men who thoroughly under
stand the subject of advertising, are
aware that posters, cards and circular lei
ters are only auxilliary means for reaching
she minds of the public, and in the retail
trade their influence is, compared with
that of other methods Of advertising, very
small One Of the. best methods of adver-
tising is the use of rhe weekly local pa
pers. It's advertisements go through the
country into every neighborhood free of
postage, and without trouble to the adver-
tiser.
Three persons on an average read every
number of the paper. ard it is mistake
to suppose that readers in their country
home do not look over advertisements and
all In the daily hustle of city life, the
newspaper is heartily glanced over Tor the
news Of markets, aud thrown aside. 1t is
different in the quiet country home, where
the newspaper is received but once week,
and where it is carefully scanned as the
reflex Of the outside busting world. Thus
the local weekly newspaper is the cheapest
and most valuable advertising medium to
the enterprising business man who realizes
the advantage of keeping his business
promptly before that class of the public
from which he draws his patronage. 1t is
equally valuable. cheap und efficient in
giving general publicity to public sales of
real or personal property. Printed sale
bills, without great trouble. seldom make
a sale known beyond the Immediate neigh
borhood but inserted in the local newspa-
per is at once spread before the whole
country, thus attracting a larger atten-
dance, with more competition in bidding,
and increasing the aggregate amount re-
sulting from the sale Of the-property.

Dopend on Yourself.

enough TO establish themselves at their out

daily behold, it is really blessing. The
chances are more than ten TO one against

curse to have to work out their own for

The sonth vs.. IreIand.

The Louisville Journal thus exposes the
bypocrit:cal political cant Of the North over
'the suferings of poor Ireland:
The American people have always de-
nonnced, in words Of burning Indignation,
the hard treatment Of Ireland by Great
Britain.
We have been accustomed to regard the
Irish as the NEST oppressed and wronged
people in Christendom. The ouragesyisit-
ed upon them by their tyrarioal oppressor
have been, with US, the stirring themes of
poetry and eloquence. We have applauled
their perpetual agitations for the recovery
of their rights from the merciless spoilers.
We have hoped to see them able to rise up
and cast the chafng and CALLING yokes from
their necks, We have earnestly wished
success to all their conspiracies to win their
independence. Even now all true Ameri-
can hearts throb with the ardent hope that
the Fenians will finally be the restorers Of
Irish liberty.
But mark now the shame that rests upon
our land. See what the people ofthe United
I States, whose hearts are so stirred by
thoughts Of the prosecutions of the Irish,
practice or tolerate in their own home, the
home Of the brave aud the land of the free.
Irish expressions are light in comparison
with Southern oppressions; they are next
to nothing in comparison with the South
ern expressions contemplated and proposed.
The Irish are represented in Parliameat;
the people Of the South are allowed no rep
resentation in Congress.

The Test of Character

The following is from man who "loved
not wisely, but loved too well." aud got
married. The way to judge of woman's
eharacter,at first sight, is to ascertain the
color of her peaicoat. A black petticoat
indicates low spirits, a hatred for washtubs
audactiyity, and taste for dyspeptic lite
rature and quietude. 4 lady who wears a
black pettieoat could no more understand
this paragraph than she could suck up the
Atlantic with a three cent syringe. a
white petticoat shows character just the
opposite, an unsullied mind aud taste for
romance. A woman who takes naturally
TO white petticoats, and never wears any
other, is an Institution to which young
gentlemen of nubial proclivities should
lose no time in paying due attention. The
red petticoat, however, is something of
which manhood should beware, it is the
insignia Of Xantippe--a style Of females
who cut their toe nails 18th their hus-
bands razors.

There is a class of unsophisticated tour
lists that daily catch the eve Of the railway
conductor and old traveller They have
private rooms engaged at the stopping
places. and imagine that they have matters
so well arranged as 10 escape detection !;
and yet how easy it is to the careful eye to
tell how many days, or even hours, they
have been married Their dress detects
them in part-so neat and symmetrical.
If the parties have good taste, all business
is abandoned and she who was a fashion
able belle last winter is now positively
more like young Qaakeress in simple
travelling dress of mouse color. There is
a sort of outlines in tie way that the arm
steals around. first the top of the seat back,
then gradually closer and in silent aeaui-
escence on the part of the bride, that tell
the whole tale Indeed, she reveals the
story most quickly; her shoulders incline
just little, while she imagines she is sit
ting uPrightly to her bearded partner. For
a few hours thus they travel but in the
long run the head gravitates to the hus-
bands shoulder, and there it will nestle
innOcenLy and confdingly in the repose Of
a newly found faith, as we'll as the happi-
ness of honest. truthful love. And these
young folks fancy themselves lost in the
crowd. unnoticed and unknown, and with
the secret that they are just married their
own alone. Blessed innoceuts
