A BEAUTIFUL LEGEND.

There is a legend connected with the
aite en- which the Temple of solomon was
erected. Ii is said to have been occupied
in common by two brothers, one of whom
had family, but the other had none
On the spot was field of wheat On the
evening succeeding the harvest, the
wheat having been gathered in shocks,
the elder brother said to 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 With out his knowledge"
The younger brother, being actuated
by the sane benevolent motives, SAID
within himself: MY elder brother has
a family and l have none. l will con
tribute to their support. [ will arise,
take of my shocks, and place them with
his, without his Knowledge"
Judge of their astonIshment when, on
the following morning, they found that
their respective shocks were uudimiu

solved in his own mind to stand guard
and if / ssibls, solve the mystery. They

they met each other halfway between
their respective shocks with their arms
full. Upon ground hallowed by such as
sociations as this was the Temple Of
King Solomon erected-so spacious, 50
magnificent, the wonder and admiration
of the world. Alas 10 these days, how

InHN @. BRECKENRIDGE.

We venture to give an incident in the
private life of the statesman, hero and
scholar that has never before been In
print MIR. Breckenridge had a noble
mother, one of the true Spartan type, of
whom Kentucky has furnished many,
who in contests where victory or death
vas involved, in which her children were
honOrably engaged, had rather have seen
them return upon their shields than
without them. Well, one day, after
honors had clustered thick aud fast upo n
the brow of the young statesman, aud
while he was Vice-President of the
United States, he went shopping" with
his mother, for whom he tad a rev
erential 1--we and profound respect They
went to this store and to that The last
selection was finally made and wrapped
up in a large bundle. With that mater
nal prerOgatiVe exercised in his glOri-
Gus boyhood, she turned to the Vice
President, and handing him the articles,
said Here, John, take this bundle"
The great man, who, IN cOurfly dignity,
commaBd ded listening Senates n times of
turbulence and storm, with a gentle pla-
ciditv of q girl, took the bundle as directed,
saving, ut is yours to command; mine TO
obev." Small as the circumstance was,
no Incl dent in the eventful life of Mr.
Breckenridge more truly illustrates his
greatness of soul and mind, or more
faithfully reveals the secret of his
mighty successes than does this. Boys
and youths would do well to bear 1t in
mind and emulate the example, Lex

More than any other people the Greeks
strOve after the ideal beauty of love, but
they could not diTest it of corporal attri-
{ butes. They endeavored to embody a

of the poet, and afterwards, in
a less perfect degrse e, by the agency of
tbs sculptor. They failed in the attempt
to exhibit a splendor of the mind by the
| coarser exhibition of Substance; but
their failure as not the want of artistic
skill, but the natural result of making
form the representative of spirit. Give

Are We Going to See a General
European War?

The conviction is very strong to-day,
among bankers and merchants, that
Europe is really on the verge of a great
war, growing out of the Eastern ques-
ton. Military and naval preparations
have proceeded so far now that retreat
is deemed improbable Private dis
patches from London state that the Roths-
childs are heavy sellers of consols, and
to that circumstance naturally much i'm
portance is attached There is a very
decided belief, on the part of thinking
men who have closely studied the ques-
ton, that France and England would
join hands against Germany, Austria
and Russia. and I'M this way the appre-
hensioa is that the war would become

The Yellow Man with almond eyes
Is in disgrace just row;
What has he done to be the cause
Of such an awful rOw3
Why do they meet so sOleInnly
HIS banishment to plan3
Simply because he's proved himself
To be the Coming Man.
They call him a mere brute compared
With their Caucasia II ia ce;
Then if they can't compete with him,
The deeper their disgrace;
They feel his cunning hand ard bra in
That's why they wish to ban
Forever from their enviOus shores
The \ elbow Coming Man.
They want to turn him out because
He works for little pay.
Saying white man cannot live
On fifty cents day;
We answer, and it has been true
Since first the world began,
That he who has the fewest wants.
He is the Coming Man.
If white men, claiming finer blood,
Of better food have need,
Superior art in them should show
They're worthy of their feed.
Yet in the finest works of skill,
Deny the truth who can,
The white man is a clumsy beast
Beside the Ceming Man.

says:

HOME CIRCLE.
II WE KNER.

If we knew the woe and heart-ache,
Waiting for us down the road.
If our lips could taste the wOrmWoOd -,
If our backs could feel the load,
Would we waste one day in wishing
For time that ne'er can be?
Would we wait with such impatience,
For our ships to come from sea J.?
If we knew the baby fingers
Pressed against the window-pane
Would be cold and stiff tomorrow
Never trouble US again
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch the frown upon our brow
Would the print Of rosy fingers
VeX us then as they do now
All! these little ice-cold fingers,
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Strewn along our backward track,
How these little hands remind US,
As in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns-but roses
For our reaping by and by.
Strange, we never prize the music
Till the sweet-YOiced bird has flown
Strange, that we should slight the vio-
I:ts
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange, that summer SKIES and SuRsnlne
Never seem half so fair
As when winters snowy Pinions
Shake their white down in the air.
Lips. from which the seal of silence
None but God can roll away
Never blossOmed in such beauty
As adOrns the mouth of day;
And sweet words tEat freight our
memory
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to US in sweeteT accents
Through the portals of the tomb.
Let us gather up the sunbeams
Lying all around our patch;
Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thOrns and chaff;
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings of to-day.
With patient hand removing
All the briars from our way.

An Alarming Decrease in Revenue
Receipts.

The fact that the receipts of the Gov.
ernment from every source are falling off
and that the deficit this fiscal year will
be nearly twenty millions, has awakened
a new interest in the labor of the House
Appropriation Committee, and it now ap-
pears that what was begun in the spirit
of retrenchment and economy will have
to be carried out as a necessity. 1t is
the opinion of careful thinkers that there
will be no resumption of business until
after the Presidential election, and in all
probability not until the next admins
tration is inaugurated. 1t Is estimated
that the receipts during the next fiscal
year will be between thirty and tOrtv
millions less than the estimates for the
present fiscal year, or in round numbers
the decrease will be about the same as
the reductions proposed by the HOus e
For this reason there is good ground to
believe that the Senate conference COM
mittees Will no longer oppose the reduc-
tions, and the diplomatic and consular
bill, it is confidently asserted, will pass
substantially as it left the House.
