obliged to flee from the house and after

THE QUEEN OF SHEBA COMPROMISED

HE QUEEN OF SHEBA COMPROMISED
AND THE BEST JERUSALEM SOCIETY Scan
DALIZED.-We have all heard of the Queen
OF Sheba. L think that in most minds she
is inseperably connected with Sunday
school book and camel very much out of
drawing. We had supposed that she, at
least, the friend and guest of the wisest of

Solomon sent to invite the Queen to paw

OF good disposition, but somewhat weak
character named Assad, who was bctrothed
to the very pretty daughter Of the high
priest. Assad delive el his message In a
very choicest Hebrew to the Queens cham
berlaln and started on his return to Jerus-
salem without having been admitted to the
honor OF an interview with her Majesty. He
had gone but short distance, when saun-
terlng out by himself for an afternoon stroll
while his retinue were pitching the tents for
their encampmenl, he met lady of great
beauty and engaging manners, with whom
he allowed himself to fall into the very
steepest sort of Irritation. On his return to
Jerusalem the image of this lady was SO
vivid in Assad's eyes that he found it
dithcult to greet his fancee, the
high priests daughter with sufficient
warmth, and Solomon, In private
talk, soon got him to tell the whole
story. The wise King was not inclined to
make toe much of the matter, and advised
Assad to forget all about his little slip and
marry Salomit6 (for this was his fances
name) with all speed. What was his as
tonishment, however, and that of Assad,

shortly after, and having been induced to
take eff her veil, it turned out that the
very lively young person whom Assad had
met in the forest of Lebanon was no other
than the Queen herself! On the following
evening the Queen enticed Assad inte

entrance Of the Queen of Sheba disturbed
the bridegroom SO much that he fell in a fit

He was naturally supposed to be possessed

Solomon entertained the Queen with pref
