a Delightful Legend.

There is a charming tradition connected
with the site on which the temple Of Solo
mon was erected. It is said to have been
owned in common by two brothers; one of
whom had 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 unto his wife :
"my younger brother is unable to bear the
burden and heat of the day; [ will arise,
take Of my shocks and place them with his,
without his knowledge" The younger
brother, being actuated by the same be-
nevolent motives, said within himself:
''My elder brother has family, and have
none; will contribute to their support; I
will arise, take Of my shocks, and place
them with his, without his knowledge"
Judge Of their mutual establishment, when
on the following morning, they found their
shocks undiminished. This course Of events
transpired for several nights. when each
resolved, in his mind, to stand guard and
solve this mystery. They did SO, when on
the following nigth, they met each other,
half way between their respectiAe Shocks
with arms full. Upon ground hallowed
with such associations as these was the
Temple Of Solomon erected-so spacious
and magnificent, the admiration and won
der of the world. Alas in these days how
many would sooner steal their brothers
whole shock than add to it single sheaf !!

Be it enacted 10y the Senate and House
of Representatives Of the United States of

Good for Greeley.

Whenever Horace Greeley breaks out
into some eccentric freak Of political liber-
atty, which he does, every now and then.
in spasmodic way to startle friends and
foes, and the Conservatives 90 off into hys-
terlcs of eulogy, we are always reminded of
the value of discretion in language, BY the
old anecdote Of the plough boy and the red
cow. His father had taken him into the
field to give him his task, and left him, d.
recting him to run his burrows up to the
red COW, then in one corner of the lot. He
went away For a little while, and on COM
ing back found young Hopeful ploughing
zg-zag all over the lot The cow had gone
meandering about, and he had followed
her up in all her ms and outs. Horace
was in very good spot the other day, but
he has since gone into crooked courses
again like the red cow. Conservatives had
better plough up to the spot where he is
when he happens to be accidentally right;
and not trouble themselves with any rule
of judgement as to him, based On the be-
lief that he will stay there 4 icayune.

A True Lady.

I was once walking behind very
handsomely dressed young girl, and think

A poor old man was coming up the walk
with loaded wheelbarrow, and just before
he reached us, he made two attempts to
get into the yard Of small house ; but the
gate was heavy. and would swing back be-
fore he could get through.
"Wait," said the young girl, springing
lightly forward, "Tll hold the gate OPEN"
And she held the gate until he had passed
in. and received his thanks with pleasant
smile as she went on.
''She deserved to have beautiful clothes"

her breast"

The Richmond Dispatch, after ana1y-s
zing the new act of Congress constituting
its former acts bearing on reconstruction,
says:
$50 far as we in Virginia are concern
ed, we have reason to rejoice that Con-
gress has assembled; for while it has made
no change in the law to which we would
reasonably ybject, it has buried the Alex
andria Constitu ton and covered those who
sought to use it for base purposes with
contempt and infamy."

P EFT &c AL.
There's Work Enough to Do.

The blackbird early leaves its nest,
To meet the smiling morn,
And gathers fragments for its nest
From upland, wood and lawn
The busy bee that wings its way
Mid sweets of varied hue,
At every flower would seem to say,
''There's work enough to do"
The cowslip and the spreading vine,
The daisy in the grass,
The snowdrop and the eglantine,
Preach sermons as we pass;
The ant within its cavern deep,
Would bid us labor too,
And writes upon its tiny heap,
'sThere's work enough to do"
To have heart for those who weep,
The scottish drunkard win
To rescue all the children, deep
In ignorance and sin
To help the poor, the hungry feed,
To give him coat and shoe,
To see that all can write and read,
'sThere's work enough to do"
The time is short-the world is wide,
And much has to be done;
This won5rous earth and all its pride
Will vanish with the sun
The moments fly on lightning wings,
And life's uncertain too;
We've none to waste on foolish things,
''There's work enough to do"
The planets, at their Makers will,
Move onward to their cars,
For Natures will is never still
Progressive as the stars
The leaves that hutter in the air,
And summer breezes WOO,
One solemn truth to man declare,
''There's work enough to do"
Who then can sleep when all around
Is active, fresh and free ?
Shall man, creations lord, be found
Less busy than the bee ?
Our courts and allies a~e the field,
If men would search them through,
Tie best the sweets of labor yield,
And "work enough to do.'

THE POINT THE PRESIDENT MADE
In his message to Congress in regard to
the cost of reconstruction under existing
laws, the President says:
cit is worthy the consideration of Con-
gress and the country whether, if the Fed
eral Government, by its action, were to as
sumo such obligation, so large an addition
to our public expenditures would not seri-
ously impair the credit of the nation OF,
on the other hand, whether the refusal of
Congress to guarantee the payment of the
debts of these States, after having displa-
ced or abolished these State governments,
it would not be viewed as violation of
good faith and reputation by the Nation
al Legislature of liabilities which these
States had justly and legally incurred"

ADVICE FROM Gov. Johnson "A dis

Georgia not to accept the terms Of the mi

the situation and the terms proposed for
the reconstruction of the Southern States,
he says; Il never will approve or consent
to or accept the poisoned chalice offered
our lips, nor will | advise my fellcw-citi i

Orchard Culture.

We believe in selecting good site.
We believe in q most thorough prepara-
ton Of the soil.
We believe in enrichening the soil ac-
cording to it's wants.
We believe in planting none but good
trees.
We believe in planting trees not more
than two or three years old, if bought at
the nursery.
We believe in Settling" said trees af-
ter the most careful and approved man
ner.
We believe in pruning and training said
trees
We believe in setting the branches low
down on the trunks.
We believe in keeping those branches
and trunks free from moss caterpillars and
all other pests.
We believe in cultivating an orchard
We beliye it to be great fallacy to
suppose that cultvatlng an orchard means
to grow crops in it.
We therefore believe in excluding all
grass, corn, grain, roots, weeds, cattle,
mice, borers, and every ''unclean thing"
A SNAKE MONSTER The Marion CO..
Mirror, of the I'd inst, relates snake
story "Mrs. Richardson, near that town,
had missed her little boy and went out in
the garden to hunt him. To her horror
she saw the little fellow eighteen months
old) literally enyeloped in the folds of
monster snake. She heroically seized the
snake in her hands and tore it loose. No
sooner was he loose, however, than be
made for the mother ferociously, and coil
ed himself about her person. attempting to
strangle her, as he did the boy. She again
seized him and disengaged herself from
him, and killed him with an axe. The
little child sweled up for several days, but
has finally recovered. The snake is what
is called the "blue-racer," which does not
bite but strangles, and measured ten feet"
OLD VIRGINIA GcNE.-In the Radical
