Solomon and the Blacksmith

Mulciber ior Vulcanl was the arti6-
Ger of heaven-in the Greek mytholo-
gy-and they are not iar wrong who
represented Tubal-Cain. the first me-
chanic, as the father OF civilization.
The blacksmith has sometime been
called the king or mechanics. and this
is the way he r. .aid@to have earned
his distinction
The story goes that during the
buil,'ing Of Solon1on's Temple, that
wise ruler decided to treat the artisans
employed on his famous edinee to
banquet. While the men were enjoy
ing the good things his bounty had
provided, King Solomon moved about
from table to table, endeavoring to be-
come better acquainted with his work
men. To one he said:
My friend what is your trade"
carpenter"
And who makes your TOOLS"
The blacksmith" replied the car
penter.
10 another solomon said
What is your trade:' and the re-
ply was;
a mason"
And who makes your tools ~
The black smith, reT lied the ma
son.
A third stated that he was a stone.
cutter, and that the blacksmith also
made his tools The fourth man tha.
King Solomon addressed was the black

man with barred arms. on which the

The Pastors Salary.
HOW A Miller EOLLLECTED IT.

HOW A Miller COLLIECTED IT.
A worthy miller-as the story is told
in Rev. Duncan Dunbar's memoir
was once panied by hearing that the
minister was going away for want Of
support, the church having decided
that they could no longer raise his
salary. He called meeting and ad-
dressed his brethren very mod, stly.
for he was enc of the poorest among
the comfortable farmers. He asked if
the want Of money was the only rea-
son for his change, and if all were
united in desiring the services of the
pastor could they still keep him. There
was but one voice in reply The pastor
was useful and beloved but the flock
was SO poor! Well" replied the mil
ler, II have plan by which l can
raise his salary without asking one Of
you for one dollar, If you allow me to
take my own way to do it. ! will as
sumo the responsibility for one year.
Have your consent:'
OF course they could not refuse this,
although they expressed surprise,
knowing the miller to be poor man.
The ear drew to close. The min
lister had been blessed in his labors.
! and ne one hal been called on for
money. When they came together the
| miller asked the pastor if his wants
had been supplied and his salary met
He replied in the affirmative When
the brethren were asked il they were
any poorer than at the beginning Of
the year, each one replied No" and
asked how they could be when they
had paid nothing. He asked again,
Is any man here any poorer for keep
ing the minister: and the reply was
the same as before. "Then,' he said,
brethren, have only to tell you that
you have paid the salary the same as
you always did, only more of it and
with greater promptness. You remem-
Der you told me to take my own way
in this matter, AMI have done SO.
AS each Of you brought his grist to the
mill, | took out as much grain as ]
thought your portion and laid it away
for the salary. When the harvest was
over l sold it, and paid the minister
regularly from the proceeds. You con
fess that you are no poorer, SO you never
missed it, and therefore now propose
that we stop talking about poverty
and about letting our minister go, and
add enough to his salary to make u.
feel that we are doing somethingr =

Religion and PHILOSOPHY.

arrange them, and altogether they
blend in beautiful whole, SO that We
do not look at one, but at the whole
bouquet. This perception Of the har-
mony of beauty is an instinct in US,
lying in. our eyes and ears--theee
bridges between our souls and the
created things, even in the beating OF
the waves Of the air made manifest in

A Dark Day.

Hetty Lockwood sat at the open
window-a big basket of undarned
stockings by her side, new copy of
. The Latest Magazine Oh the table
close by, while within reach bright
butterfly lowered about a newly-opened
honey suckle growing against the win
dow. The Spring breeze breathed
balnlily into the apartment, filling her
senses with a delicious dreaminess
and her eyes wandered wistfully out
heyond the shaded village street to the
green fields and budding willows bor-
dering the sparkling little river. On
morning such Ms this who could en-
dure 10 stay within doors? Who
could endure to sit quietly down and
darn stockings boys stockings too,
with great holes in the heels Of them,
which, merely to look at, eau -ed her a
despairing sigh. Then thein maga-
zine: how she longed to unfold the
crisp sheet, luxuiate in its contents,
like the butterfly in the sweets Of the
honey suckle. But Hetty's life more
resembled that Of the bee than the but
terfly. Though only eighteen, she
was the eldest of seven children, most
ly boys; and goodly portion of the
household work fell upon her shoul-
ders. Her mother was II sharp, bus
Ting woman, and though without an
idea Of being unkind, often made
her daughters life irksone with dis
tasteful tasks and wearisome contine-
mentS.
\ glad, girlish voice aroused Hetty.
Looking from the window she saw
susie Lake, one of her few intimate
friends, leaning on the little front gar

Somehow Hetty felt soothed, as she
stood resting on the stile, and looking
dreamily at the white clouds overhead
, An approaching footstep startled
her. Turning, she saw a mans figure
coming along the pathway, and an
other glance showed her that it was
Walter Hayes. Her heart gave a
great throb and then seemed to stand
still.
He came on straight toward her

She looked up at him, half in hope,
half in doubt, and the color came and
went on her face.

She could not mistake the sincerity
of his tone, or the look Of the brown
eyes; and she answered simply and
naively.

She could not have told how it hap

seated on the step of the stile with

A QUEER TRADE.-France, always
fertile in discovering professions for her
children, has just invented new oc-
cupation.s A man goes about the streets
of Paris bearing a small tray covered
with a green cloth. On this tray are
pack Of cards, set Of dominoes, and a
dice-box. With this stock-in-trade,
the man, who styles himself Lama
teur,' goes to the houses of invalids or
idle persons, and for small fee plays
with them at any of the games that
can be managed with such properties
as cards, dice and dominoes. It is said
that the amateur" makes very COM
Portable living by this discovery of

player is much more likely to be in de-
mand than the sc emi-mythological
