ALEXANDRIAN ANTIQUITIES.

The opening OF the new railway from
Alexandria toAbouhir has been them means
of unearthing multitude of interesting
antiquities Chat have long lain hid III the
vicinity Of the former city. A cores
pondent, writing from Egypt to the
Academy, relates that recent excavations
have brought to view at Ramleh the head
of the statue of a late Roman Emperor,
together with a large number OF terra
Gotta lamps of the Roman and Christian
periods. Among these last, the most
curious specimens are the Toad Lamps,
which bear on their upper surface the
impression Of large toad, in the midst
of whose body appears the hole for the
Gil. In the earliest examples of these
lamps, the figure of the toad is unmiti-
g;st"diy ugiy but, as the series progress
ses, the body of the animal is gradually
contracted, its legs are ienethened and
raightered, and the distinctive charac-
ter Of the head IS altered Finally the
figure becomes thoroughly conventional
lied. the legs being reduced to straight
bands, and the body transformed into a
simple boss or knob. The stamp Of the
late Greek Alpha impressed on the under
side of the lamps shows that they were
manufactured in Alexandria.
Small bottles, bearing the effigy, and
occasionally the name, Of S Menas,a a saint
Of the fourth century, are also often
recovered at Alexandria, where they were
manufactured. They are Of terra Gotta,
of a whitish color, and usually OF small
size, although one recently found was
above foot high. They have two han
dies, and in shape resemble tie ''pil-
grinls' bottles" OF the Middle Ages. On
one or both sides is the image Of the
saint with nimbus surrounding the
head, and q Cross on either side. Other
symbolic figures are added, with some
times an inscription in Greek. It is sup
posed that S. Menas belonged to the car
ly Orthodox Church of Egypt, as his
name does not appear III the Coptic c:sl-
endar.

A FEW WORDS TO QUE GIRLs.

The pastor Of church in one of our
large cities said to me not long ago ''I
have oficiated at forty weddings since I
came here, and il every case save one, ]
felt that the bride vas running an awful
risk. Young men Of bad habits and fast
tendencies never marry girls Of their
own sort, but demand a wife above sus-
picion. SO, pure, sweet women, kept
from the the touch of evil through the
years of their childhood, give themselves
with all their costly dover of womanhood
into the keeping Of men who III base as
sociations, have learned to undervalue
all that belongs 10 them, and then find
10 place for repentance in the sad after
years.
There is but one way out Of this, that
I can see, and that is for you the young
women of the country-to require in as
sociation and marriage, purity for purity
sobriety for sobriety, honor for honor
There is no reason why the young
men of this Christian land, should not
be just as virtuous as its young women,
and if the loss Of your society and love
be the price they are forced to pay for
vice, they viii not pay it.
admit with sadness, that not all of
our young women are capable of this
high standard for themselves or others :;
too often from the hands Of reckless
beauty, has the temptation to drink
come TO men but I believed there are
enough OF earnest, thoughtful girls in
the society Of our country, to work Won
ders in the temperance reform, if fully
aroused. Dear girls, viii you help us
in the name of Christ VIII ycu, first of
all, be SO true to yourselves and God, SO
pure in your inner and outer life, that
you shall have q right to ask that young
man with whom you associate, and es-
peCiaMJ those you marry, shall be the
same--jfarY Il. LathroI in turner's

A DELIGHTFUL LEGEND.

There is beautiful tradition connect
ed with the site On which the temple Of
Solomon was erected. It is said to have
been occupied in common by two broth
ers, one of whom had family, and the
other had none. On the spot was a 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 hea5 Of
the day; I VIII arise, take off my shocks,
and place them with his, without his
knowledge" The brother being actr-
ated by the same benevolent motives,
said within himself ''hIy elder broth
er has a family, and have none [ viii
contribute 70 their suppurt 1 viii arise,
take off my shocks, aud place them with
his. without his knowledge"
Judge of their mutual astonishment,
when on the following morning they
found their respective shocks undimin-
ished. This course of events transpired
for several nights, when each resolved
in his own mind to stand guard, and
solve the mystery. They did SO, when
on the following night they met each
other half way between tEeir respective
shocks with their arms full.
Upon ground hallowed by such asso-
Citations as this WAS the temple of King
Solomon erected-so spacious, SO mag
niHcent, the wonder ard admiration Of
the world. Alas in the4e days, how
many would sooner steal their brother s
shock than add 10 it a single sheaf.-

PoULTRY.-A breeder OF poultry
writes Every spring procure guam
tity of cedar boughs and scatter them
plentifuily in and around the hen house.
This is all that is necessary, as the odor
of cedar keeps away lice. This remedy
is cheap, simple and effective and is well
worth trying by all who have hens to
care for Buckwhoat is one OF the most
staple articles of poultry food. It is
very fattening, an excellent egg produ
Ger, and very much relished by the poul-
tzy. It is not, perhaps, used as extern
siyely here as in Europe. In England,
France, and especially in Germany, it,
forms not only an important part of
poultry food, but it is much used for
various culinary purposes. The great
value which it has oyer other cereals, Is
that it thrives luxuriantly even on the
poorest soil. These who have not test
ed its value as poultry food, we advise
to give it n trial

DUTY. 1t Is so hard TO do right al
ways So hard to walk wit i bare bruis-
ed feet over the ragged pathway! While
all the while, you hear the song of birds,
catch the fash of brilliant plumage, the
fragrance Of flowers on the other side,
and know that only little way off lies a
smooth, green sward, whose dewy fresh
ness would be SO grateful to your weary
wanderings Sometimes you catch your
breath at some new burst Of melody, and
and are almost tempted to turn aside !;
but the voices in the invisible beyond
plead with you, sud you stumble On in
pain and weariness, over the first road,
unto the end. But you look back, often
times through tears, over life of battles
and skirnishes, and you find the scars
of many a wound on your nerveless body
and you almost ask ''Is it worth the
whilel
Aye, but when the goal is reached, and
the crown won, when standing On tt e
summit and looking back from the far
ther shore we shall be able to say, Il
did what I could, then viii all the Ius-
tire have faded from the brilliant entice-
mants of pleasure, then will we forget
the WEAKNESS and pain, the struggles and
temptations OF the siren, and the rugg, d
