A LEGEND.

Once In an ancient city, whose namo no
longer remomber,
Raised aloft on column, brazon statue
OF Justice
Stood In tho public square, upholdIng the
scales In It's left hand,
And In It's right sword, n an emblem
that Justice presided
Over the laws of tho land. aud the hands
and homes OF tho people.
Even the birds had built their nosls In the
scales OF tho balance,
Having no fear OF the sword that flashed
I'm tho sunshine above them,
But In tho course OF time tho laws OF the
land were corrupted
Might took the place OF right, aud the
weak were oppressed, aud the mighty
Ruled with an iron rod. Thon II chanced
In nobleman's palace
That necklace OF pearls was lost, and ore
long u suspicion
Fell on an orphan girl who lived as maid
Ia the household,
She, after form OF trial condemned 10 die
on tho scanoid,
Patiently met her doom al tho foot OF tho
statue OF Juaiic.
As 10 her Father in heaven her innocent
spirit assembled,
Lo DER the city tempest rose aud the
bolts Of tho thunder
Smole the statute OF bronze, and hurled
Ia warth from It's left hand
Down on the pavement below the claitor-
Ing scales OF tho balance,
And In tho hollow thereof was found tho
nest OF = magpio,
Into whose clay y-built walls tho necklace
Of pearls was lnwoven
