their bits over troughs of gold, wait

out in front OF the palace, when the Off

the fiery chargers, with Haunting name and
throbbing nostril, would make the earth jar

VANITY, vAYITY-ALL IS vANITYl'
"Wen,n you say, ''if there is any man
happy, he ought to be-" But l hear him
coming out through the palace, and see his
! robes actually incrusted with jewels, as he
stands In the front and looks out upon the
vast domain. What does he sayl King
Solomon, great Is your dominion, great is
your honor, great is your joyi No. While
standing here amidst all the splendor, the
tears start. and his heart breaks and he ex-
claims: Vanity Of vanities; al is vanity.
What solomon not happy yetl No, not
happy. The donors and the emoluments of
this world bring so many cares with them,
I that they bring also torture and disquietude.
