Beautiful Legend.

They tell story that ono day Rabbi judah
and his brethren, the seven pillars of wisdom.
sat in the court of the temple on feast day,
disputing about rest One said it was to have
attained sufficient wealth, yet without sin.
The second said thai ii: was fame and praise
of all men. The third, that it was the pos
session of power 10 rulo the state. The fourth,
that it consisted only in happy home. The
fifth, that it must be in the old aGe of one
who issrich, powerful, famous, surrounded by
children, and children;s children. The sixth
said that all were vain unless man keep all
the ritual law of Moses. And Rabbi Judah,
the venerable, the tallest of the brothers,
said; aye have spoken wisely. but one thing
more is necessary. He can only find resi-
,5ho to all these things addeth this: That he
keeppth the tradition of the Elders"
There sat in the court fair haired boy,
playing with his lilies in his lap; and hearing
the talk, dropped them with nstonishmenl
from his hands and looked up-tLat boy Of
twelve-and said Nav, nay, fathers, he
only findeth rest who loves his brother as
himself and God with his whole heart'and
soul. He is greater than fame, and wealth,
and power; happier than happy home,
happy without iii better than honcred age;
he is law to himself, aud above all tradition
The doctors were .astonished. They said
I'"When Christ comcth, shall he teach us
greater 'things7" And they thanked Gud
for they said. "The old men are not always
wise, yet God be praised that out of the

Captain and learned some Of the particu.

Of the counties of Dallas, Ellis, johnson
and Tarrant, all of which counties he will
visit as occasion may require. He brings
no troops with him, believing and hoping
as he does, that there will be no need OF
any. His intention and orders, we under
stand, are not 10 interfere in any manner
with the administration of justice. Any
complaints made TO him will be turned over
to the civil authorities for their action, I'M
der the laws; should any manifest injustice
be done, however, in the courts, which we
have not the slightestid idea will occur, it will
be his duty, and be will exercise il, to take
action in the premises. He earnestly de-

We take pleasure in saying that 90 far, in
his intercourse with our citizens, Capt. HOr-

our people will be agreeable to himself and
our citizens.
