THE TEMPLE OF DIANA AT EPHESUS.
After this story short account Of
the great temple at Epresus viii be in
teresting:
One building at Ephesus surpassed
all the rest in magnifcence and fame.
This was the temple of Artemis or
Diana, which glittered in brilliant beau
ty at the head of the harbor, and was
reckoned by the ancients as one of the
wonders of the world. The sun, 1t was
said, saw nothing in its course more
magnificent than Diana's temple. The
foundations were carefully laid, with
immense substructions, in the marshy
ground Architects of the highest dis
tinction we're employed. The quarries
of Mount Prion supplied the marble.
All the Greek cities Of Asia contributed
to the structure, and Croesus, the King
of Lydia, lent his aid.
The work thus begun before the
Persian war. was slowly continued even
through the Peloponnesian war, and its
dedication was celebrated by a poet
contemporary with Euripides. The
fanatic Herostratus set fire to it on the
same night on which Alexander was
born. The temple was then rebuilt with
new and more sumptuous magnifcence.
The ladies of Ephesus contributed their
iewelry to the expense of therestoration.
The national pride III the sanctuary was
so great that when Alexander offered the
spoils OF his Eastern campaign il he
might inscribe his name on the building,
the honor was declined. The Ephesians
never ceased to embellish the shrine of
their goddess, continually adding new
decorations.

THE TRIBUNE.
TWO PICTURES.
BEFORE MARRIAGE.

Nv Maggie, my beautiful darling,
Creep into my arms, my sweet,
Let me fold you again to my bosom,
So close I can hear your heart beat
What these little fingers been sewing;
Ones pricked Dy the needles see,
These hands shall be kept from such labor
When once they are given to me.
All mine, little pet, I viii shield you
From trouble, and labor. and care,
I will robe you like some fairy princess,
And Jewels shall CLEAN in your hair.
Those slippers you gave me are perfect
That dressing gown fits to L
NY darling, / wonder that heaven
Should give such q treasure TO me.
Eight-nine-ten- eleven my precious,
Time flies so when / am with you,
1t seems but a moment I've been mere,
And now, must l say it?-Adieu!
AFTER MARRIAGE.
Oh. Meg you are heavy-Fm tired;
60 sit in the rocker, pray;
Your weight seems a hundre q ana ninety,
When you plump down in that sort OF way
You had better be mending my coat sleeve;
I've spoken about it before.
And want to finish this novel,
And look over those bills from the store.
This dressng-gown sets like the ID;
These slippers run down at the heei;
Strange, anything can never De uecent'
/ wish YOU could know how they feel.
What's this bill from Morgan's? Why surely
1t S not for another new dress!
Look here! I'll be bankrupt ere New Y ear,
Or your store bills will have to grow less.
Eight o'clock Meg, sew on this button
As soon as you finish that sleeve;
Heigh no! I'm so deucedlv sleepy,
I'll pile off to bed, L believe.

THE SEVEN SLEEPERs.

To sleep like the Seven Sleepers is
an expression signifying very sound
slumber. Who the Seven Sleepers
were, and what gave them this sleepy
head reputation, the following story
will show:
The story goes back to the time of
the Roman Emperors Under some of
the emperors the Christians were terri
bly, prosecuted. One of them, Decius,
was most inhuman. In the year $50,
while on tour through the empire, he
came to Ephesus in Asia Minor. This
was very great city in those days. De-
Gus ordered all the Ephesians to join
with him in offering sacrifices to the
gods, Jupiter and Appollo, and the god
dess Diana. You remember the story
of the great Diana of the Ephesians,
which you have read in the Acts. The
penalty of disobedience was to be death.
Among the Christians in the city there
were seven young men of noble families
who refused to obey the decree. Their
were Mayiminian, Malchus, Martimin-
ian, Dionysius, Joannes, Serapio and
Constantine. When they were brought
before Decius, his threats failed to move
them. DESTROYS, on account of their
high standing and influence, to win
them over, the Emperor left them the
time until his coming to the city to
change their minds.
AS soon as he was gone, the seven hid
themselves il a cave in the mountains
near by. Spies tracked them out, and
on Decius' return, showed him the spot.
Enraged, he ordered the mouth of the
cave to be closed by wall. A heather,
who admired the bravery of the young
men and desired that their bones when
found should be treated with respect,
wrote on piece of parchment their
names and the cause of their entomb-
ment. This writing, enclosed in an iron
casket, he contrived to drop unseen into
the cave. Undlsmayed by the fate be-
fore them, when the wall shut out all
light from them, the seven quietly lay
down to sleep.
Nearly two hundred years after. a
man in search of building material,
found an old wall made of large square
stones. These being suited to his pur-
pose, he tore the wall down, and the
light of day once more broke into the
cave where the Seven Sleepers lay.
They, waking up. supposed that but
one night had passed, and thanked God
for their deliverance. Malchus was
sent into the city to buy bread. Amazed
by the strange sights he saw, he wan
dered along until he came to baker S
hsop. The baker looked in astonish-
ment at the silver he offered in pay
ment, and asked him where he had got
ten so ancient coin. This question
brought out his story, and great null
titude of wondering people soon hasten
ed to the cave, where his companions
and the casket were found. Even the
then Emperor, Theodosir1s, hurried to
Ephesus to behold the wonder. But in
the same hour that Malchus returned,
the young men again fell asleep, this
time in death. Sometimes the legend
is varied by the addition of the story OF
their dog, which followed them into the
cave. He is said to have stood guard
over them all the time without eating or
sleeping. Another fable is more i'm
probable still-it declares that the sun,
out of respect to them, altered its course
twice day in it's endeavor to shine into
the cavern.
