The Uses of Liberty,

Till men have been some time free, they
know not how to use their freedom. The IN
tives Of wine countries are generally sober
In climates where wine is a rarity, intem-
perance abounds. A newly liberated people
may be compared to northern army encamp-
ed on the Rhine or the Xeres. 1t is said that
when soldiers in such situation first find
themselves able to indulge without restraint
in such rare and expensive luxury, nothing
isto be seen but intoxication. Soon, however,
plenty teaches discretion; and after wine has
been for few months their daily fare, they
become more temperate than they had ever
boon in their own country. In the same man.
ner, the final and permanent fruits of liberty
are wisdom, moderation and inercy.-Nacau-

A Tremendous Fight

The Journal au Hatre recounts terrible
a number Of wild beasts. Bidel's custom
was to 60 into the cage of these ferocious
animals, accompanied by sheep. which
was by his presence kept safe from attack.
On recent occasion he proceeded to the
lions cage, and his first act was 10 place tho
sheep on the back Of q ioness. - he had
frequently done before. No sooner had he
accomplished this than powerful lion
sprang upon the poor sheep. and buried his
teeth deep into = vital part of its body.
There was a large number Of spectators
present, and, as may be imagined, the sud-
den act of the lion created an instant and
general panic. Bidel stepped forward, and
with the utmost coolness struck the lion .
blow on the mouth with heavy stick. which
made him crouch and yell with pain, and
throw his bleeding victim trembling at the
feet of the courageous performer. In an.
other moment, however, all the wild beasts
were lashsd into fury by the sight Of the
blood, and no one in the assembly believed
that Bidel could escape. Preserving his
presence Of mind. however, hs kept the
other animals at bay until he had subdued
the lion and chased hh, back to his caga
He then fought his way back through ths
other animals, and amid the bravos Of the
assembly came out triumphantly, carrying
his wounded sheep with him. Tho pool
animal which vas a crroat favorita ~ fha
ion-tamer, has since died Of its wounds.

A Delightful Legend.

There is a beautiful tradition connected
with tho site on which the temple u oslo-
mon was erected. It is said to have been
occupied in common by two brothers. On
the spot was field Of wheat. On the even.
ing succeeding the harvest, the wheat hav.
ing been gathered ain shocks, the elder
brother said to his vito, 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, without
his knowledge" The brother being educa-
ted by the same benevolent motives, said
within himself "My elder brother has q
family, and have none; I will contribute
to their support; will arise. take Of my
shocks. and place them with his, without
his knowledge" .....
Judgeof their mutualastonishment when
on the following morning they found their
respective shocks undiminished. This course
Of events t1anspired for several nights,
when each resolved in his own mind to
stand guard. and solve the mystery. They
did SO. whom on the following night they
met each other half way between their re-
spectivs shocks with their arms full.
Upon ground hallowsd by such associa-
