The Throne of Solomon.

~ correspondent sends US the following
account oil remarkable piece OF mcchan.
ism, taken from i Persian manuscript
called "Ihc History of jerusalem" II
purports to bc description of the throne
oi King Solomon, and if the details nro
correctly given, it undoubtedly surpasses
any piece of mechanism produced in
modern times: The sidcg of it Ucre of
pure gold, tho feet Of cmcralds and ru-
bies intcrmixed with pearls, each of (which
were as large MS an ostrich's egg. The
throne had seven steps; on each side were
dclineatcd orchards full of trees, the
branches of which were of precious stones,
representing fruit, ripe and unripc; on the
tops OF the trees were to be seen figures
OF plumngc birds, particularly the pea
cock, the ctaub and the kurgcs. All
these birds were followed within arti.
ticialiy, so AS occasionally to utter thou
sand mclodious sounds, such rs tho ear of
mortals never before heard. On the first
step were dclincated vine branches, hnv-
ing punches Of grapes, composed Of va
riOns sorts Of precious stones, fashioned
Ill such manner as TO represent the va
rious cOlors Of purple, violet, green, and
red, so MS to render the appearance of
side Of the throne, were two lions Of ter
rible aspect large rs life, and formed Of
cast gold. Tho nature of this remark
able throne WIS such that when Solomon
placed his foot on the first step, the birds
spread their wings aud made fluttcring
noise in the air. On his touching the
second step, tho lions expanded their
claws. On his reaching the third step,
the whole asscmblagc of demons and
tairics and men repeated the praise of the
Deity. When he arrived ut the fourth
step, voices wer" heard addressing him in
the following manner: "Son of David,
be thankful for tho blessings which the
Almighty has bestowed upon YOU" The
same was repeated upon his reaching the
fifth step. On his reaching tho sixth, nil
the children of Israel joined them; and,
on his arrival Mt the seventh, all the throne,
birds and animals, became in motion, and
ceased not until he had placed himself on
the royal seat, when the birds, lions, and
other animals, by secret springs, discharged
the most precious perfumes on Solomon,
after which two of the kurges descended

THE FIRGSTDE.
Flowers and Health.

We have all heard what the alarmist
say--that the odors Of many nowors arc
injurious to health. but modern scicuct
teaches us that the ill-cffects produced b,
the odors OF one set of plants and flower:
are balanced, perhaps quite ovcrmatchcd
by the good effects of other sets. Most
OF lis have heard Of "ozone." It ia one OF
those capital ingredients of tho world
that have existed from the beginning, but
which have onl Y of late years been actually
recognized, aud consists, in plain English,
oi highly electrified oxygen, the gas,
when so electrified. acquiring specially
good qualities in regard to the general
health of mankind. Professor Monte
gazza, of Padua, states that certain plants
and flowers, upon exposure to tho ravs of
the sun, cause so large an increase in the
quantity of ozone round about, rs to be
cmincntly conducive to better condition
OF the atmosphcrc,-of course with the
understanding that there is proper vcn-
tilation, such as will carry of the excess
OF purely odorous matter that may arise
from them. Among the ozono manufac-
turcrs Of the botanical world arc the cherry
laurel poisonous in its leaves and kcrnclsj,
the Glove, lavender, mint, fcnncl, the lemon
tree and others; also the narcisis, The he
liotropc, the hyncinth and mignoncttc.
Certain prepared perfumes, Similarly en-
posed to the sunshine, add further to the
atmospheric stock OF ozone, the we'll
known Fu-dc- Cologne, for instance, oil
OF bcrgnmot, extract Of millcfeurs, cs-
scncc OF lavender, and some of the aro-
matte tincturcs. The oxidation Of Ger
tain essential oils obtained from plants
and flowers, such rs the oils Of nutmeg,
aniseed, thyme and peppermint, is like
wise indicated hy the professor rs source
of ozone, though the supply of this pleas
ant aerial condimcnt is, in the case of
these, less considerable. DR.. Montcgazza
recommends accordingly tho large and
sednlous cultivation of ozone producing
plants in all districts and localities where
tho atmosphere is liable to bo corruptcd,
marshy places in particular, in which last,
according TO Dr. Cornelius Fox, III his TO-
cc1t comprehensive work upon ozone, il
is impossible for any better sanitary
agent to be introduced than tho common
suniiowcr. This plant, happily able 10
make itself quite at home in the poorest
cottage backyard, has been shown not
only to purify the atmosphere of marshy
places, removing n very decided amount
Of the miazmatn ordinarily there cngen-
6ered, but to confer the positive benefit
OF augumcnting the quantity of ozone.
People are recommended often TO the sea-
side or to special marine Watering places,
tor tho sake of their rcputed wealth in
ozone. Should VIC not move vote of
thanks to tho man who has shown us how
to arrange for supplies on our own prcmi-

The Power of Truth.

In history of Persia is related this
beautiful and impressive story: Abdool
khader of Ghilham had, when child, 4
vision which impressed him with tho feel
ing that hc must devote himself to God.
So he went to his mother in the morning,
and told her about it.
"Shc wept," lie says, when informed
her what l had seen. Then, taking out
eighty dinars, she told me that, rs had
brother, half of that was all my inherit
ancc. She made me promise, when she
gave it to me, never to tell lie, and then
bade ME farewell, cXclaiming: "Go, my
son; / trust thee to God: we shall not
meet again until the day of Judgment"
81 went on well, ;" he adds, "until came
near TO lIamadam, when our katillah was
plundcred by fifty horscmen. One fellow
asked me what had got.
"'Forty dinars, said /, 'arc sewn under
my garments

Nainst Jones my hate was keen;
For VIC were both. to tell the truth,
In love with Ellen Green.
Now Jones was plain, rs plain could be,
Dull, ploddlnS and precise,
a stupid drudgc-whilc, As for me,
Why, was rather NIGEL
Now Jones Is wcalthicst OF Cts,
And Ellen is his spouse;
While am living on my wits,
And do not oft carouse.
For Ellen, while n girl, had thought
Her husband | should he,
But time Il wisu experience brought,
She married JoneS-not ne!
She told inc frankly what sho thought
Don't deem me weak or rash,
love you dearly, but l ought
or course TO marry cash."
lGuictly resigned my hopes,
So here the story ends;
And Jones is doing well In soaps,
And we're uncommon friends.
And when look at Mrs j.,
Who's old, and fat, and red,
THANK heaven she Tilted me-" say,
"And married Jones instcadw
And thus happiness serene
For sorrow past atOncs;
To rescue nc from Ellen Green
