The Discoveries in Jerusalem,

The London Times publishes an interest
ing letter in regard to the discoveries in
progress at Jerusalem, from which we select
the following:
The colossal foundations of the temple
wall, which are 'stones Of ten cubits and
stones of eight cubits, laid by Solomonlor
his successors on the throne, are now being
laid bare at the enormous depth of ninety
feet and more beneath the present surface
The bridge that once spawned the rayine
between the palace on Zion and the temple
on Moriah is now proved to have been up
wards of one hundred and fifty feet high. II
this be as itseernss the ascent to the house
of the Lord (Which Solomon showed to the
Queen of Sheba, We cannot wonder that on
seeing it there was no more spirit in her.
The pinnacle of the temple, ION which the
tempter placed the Savior, has just been IN
covered to the base, and is found still to
have an elevation 136 feet. The statement
of Joseph is therefore no exaggeration ;''lf
any one looked from the battlements into
the valley he would be giddy, while his
sight could not reach to such an immense
depth = Sections Of the ancient wall of
Opher have been exhumed, Eshowing thatas
Josephus says,it was Joined to the southeast
angle of the Temple Aqueducts, cisterns
and rock-hewn channels and passages have
also been discovered within and around,the
harem, throwing new light on the buildings
the arrangements and the services of the
temple

A GREAT FINANCIAL SCHEME Senator
Sherman from the committee on Finance,
has reported the most important bill Of the
session. 1t provides for new consolidated
loan to take up all the bonds of the govern
inent, interest and principal payable in eion,
at six per cent, and to be exempt from tax
alton, bot one per cent is to be retained by
the United States Treasury. One half Of
the sum thus retained to be distributed to
The several States, the other half to be re-
served by the United States as a sinking
fuud to reduce the principal Of the public
debt At present. there is to be no more
contracting of the legal tender currency but
the amount is not to exceed four millions
Tle legal tender notes are at any time con-
vertible into legal tenders provided the Cir
culation issued did not exceed $500, 000,-
900 The convertability Of the bonds into
currency shall cease after the resumption of
specie payments. A $500, O00, 900 a per
cent, foreign gold bearing loan is proposed
with interests pa yable at London and
Frankfort The plan of Senator Sherman
will give to the currency certain degree Of
elasticity when there is sharp pressure on
the money market, and to that extent it is
a most desirable improvement upon all ex-
listing plans.

The Noble Revenge.

The coffin was plain one-a poor, mis-
cradle pine coffin. No flowers on its top
no lining of the rosewhite satin for the pale
| brow; no smooth ribbons about the coarse
shroud. The brown hair was laid decently
back, but there was the crimped cap, with
its tie beneath the chin. The sufferer from
cruel poverty smiled in her sleep; she had
found bread, rest and health
4 want to see my mother !? sobbed poor
child, as the city undertaken screwed down
the top.
You can't-get out of the way, boy; why
don't somebody take the brat p
Only let me see her a minute cried the
hopeless orphan, clutching the side of the
charity box, land as he gazed into the rough
face, anguished tears streamed rapidly down
the cheek, on which no childish bloom ever
fingered. Oh! it was pitiful to hear him
cry Only once, let me see my mother only
once. ..ft.
Quickly and brutality the hard hearted
monster struck the boy way so that he reel
ed from the blow. For moment the boy
stood painting with grief and rage, his blue
eyes distended his lips sprang apart, fire
glittered through his tears. as he raised his
puny arm, and with most unchildish ao-
cent screamed, 'WhenI am a man I'll kill
you for that ,ss,
There was coffin and heap of earth
between the mother and the poor forsaken
child-a monument much stronger than
granite, built in his boy heart at the memo
ry of the heartless deed
The Court House was crowded to suffoca-
ton.
Does any one appear as this mans coun-
sci? asked the Judge.
There was silence when he fin ished, until
with his lips tightly pressed together,a look
OF strange intelligence blended with
naughty reserve upon his handsome fea-
lures, young man stepped forward with
firm tread and kindly eye, to plead for the
erring and friendless. He was stranger,
but from bis first sentence there was silence.
The splendor of his genius entranced---con-
viuced
The man who could not find friend was
acquitted.
May God bless you, sir, canuot.'
i want no thanks replied the stranger,
with icy GOODNESS.
IL believe you are unknown to mo-
Man | will refresh your memory.
Twenty years ago you struck broken
hearted boy away from his mothers coffin.
l was that boy
The man turned livid.
Have you rescued me then, to take my
life?
No, have sweeter revenge; Ihave saw
ed the life of man whose brutal deed has
ranked in my breast for twenty years. Go!
and remember the tears of friendless
child .5u @
The man bowed his head in shame and
went out of the presence of a nagnanimity
as grand to him as incomprehensibIe, and
the noble young lawyer felt Gods smile in
his face forever after.
