This ancient legend-the dream, per- haps, of a Syrian hermit-shows that the Cedar of Lebanon, the timber tree of the Temple built on Zion, was held in the highest estimation, and exercised the fancy. The story proceeds that Seth received from the angels three seeds of that tree which he beheld still standing upon the spot where sin had been first committed, but standing there blasted and dead. He carried the seeds home, placed them in the mouth of the dead Adam, and so buried them. Their future history is curious. Growing on the grave of Adam in Hebron; they were afterwards most carefully pro- tected by Abraham, Moses, and David. After their removal to Jerusalem, the Psalms were composed beneath them; and in due time, when they hadgrown together and united in one giant tree, they, or it-for it was now one tree, a Cedar of LebanOn-was felled by Solo, mon for the purpose of being preserved for ever as a beam in the Temple. But the design failed; the kings car penters found themselves utterly unable to manage the mighty beam. They raised it to it's intended position, and found it to long. They sawed it, and it then proved to short. They spliced it, and then found it wrong. It was evidently intended for an other, ,prehaps more sacred office, and they laid it aside ill the Temple to bide it's time. | While awaiting for it's appointed hour, the beam was on one" occasion imprOp- erly made use of by woman named Maximella, who took the liberty of sit- ting on it, and presently found her gar- ments on fire. Instantly she raised a cry, and feeling the flames severely, she invoked the aid of Christ, and was im- mediate!y driven from the city, and stoned, becoming in her death a Christ ian martyr. In the course of an event. full history the predestined beam be- came bridge over Cedron, and being then thro VII into the Pool of Bethesda, it proved the cause of its healing vir- tues. Finally, it became the Cross. was buried in Calvary, exhumed by the Empress Helena, chopped up by a corrupt Church, and distributed.

The Human Face.

The countenances of every nation de- fine the characteristics of its people. Every human face indicates the moral training as we'll as the temperament and ruling traits of its owner, just as much as every human form indicates the quality and amount of its physical exercise. This is proven by the variety of human faces everywhere visible. Those whose lives have been given to physical labor, unbrightened by an education of ideas, have always q stolid, stupid expression, even while their limbs and muscles are splendidly de- veloped. The more savage the people, the uglier they are in facial develop ment. The very features of their face are disfigured by violent and ungov- erned passions. People whose employ ments are intellectual have invariably a large, clear gaze, bright, outraying expression, as if from an inward light shining through vase. Where fine organization and deep sensibility ac- company the practice of intellectual pursuits, often the features take on a transparent, luminous look. Persons endowed with powerful sensibility however plain their features, always have moments of absolute beauty.

The Days Before Teapots.


 Two centuries ago. tea was unknown to our ancestors. It is difficult to think of the breakfast tables of those days, with; the nut brown ale as the only beverage. People would breakfast at six or seven in the morning, dine at twelve, and sit down to dissipated supper-say at half. past five. In China, India, Arabia, Tartary, Persia, and other barbarous countries, the inhabi- tants were slipping tea out of little blue and white cups that would fetch their weight in gold now, while our civilized progenitors drank beer out of pewter. It seems so strange, but yet it is true. The Dutch were the first to bring the little leaf to Europe. They were the great merchants of those days, and were always introducing from the east new sources of commerce. But tea was to come to Europe as drug before it be- came popular as drink. In l641 a Dutch doctor, by name Tulpius, wrote the praise of the new medicine, and twenty years afterward tea had passed d from the apothecary's drawers to the round tables of the restaurant. Then an English peer took it up. It Is re. corded of Lord Arlington that he was the first to bring tea into England What luxury it was may very easily be guessed; and then the price was almost prohibitory. The East India company got the monopoly of the tea trade between China and England and on that occasion it presented the king with truly royal gift. The gift was two ounces of tea; but then the price was guinea an ounce.-C CasseU's 1Angdzine.

Here and There a Gem.

All that person can think, say and do is work for eternity. A portion only
 of this work serves for time; and even
 ime and earthly things have eternity
 for their end.-Even as regards results for time, all good farmers, mechanics, scientists and merchants know how much success and prosperity depend on the accuracy and promptness with which work is done. How watchful and careful is the skilful operator! No opportunity passes by unimproved; no flaw or imperfection escapes his watch full attention. But here with all his skill and care he may fail. Work for eternity never fails if carefully done But men are in danger of being less careful in this than ill that which per- tains only to time. The work is not harder. No one is ever required to work beyond his strength; and strength for this work is given as for natural work.

 "-Meagre were his looks,
 Sharp misery had worn him to the bones.
 The young apothecary does not re- semble him iii the slightest degree. He is well nourished and we'll clad, is par ticular about his back hair and thinks himself an Apollo-which is the next best thing to being one; indeed, even more satisfactory to the happy indivi- dual himself. He is always to be found near the window, caressing his incip- ient mustache, when not absolutely engaged in serving customers. gt.
 Being well convinced that that plain, middle aged person, hls employer, en- gagged him as an ornament and attrac- tion, he leaves as much of the work as possible to others. He is only on the alert upon the entrance of what he calls stylish girl, and allows old ladies and little girls, who come with black porter bottles for 'more of that physic," to knock upon the counter until some one else hears them.
 Even plain young women he treats with signal contempt, though he knows that they only come in to look at him. In fact, he is convinced thatapy female not quite old enough to be his great mother once seeing his face at the win l dow must be charmed into the store by lit. And whether the purchase made be
