King Solotion's Blacksmith And it came to pass when Solomon, the son of David, had finished the temple ofde rusalem, that he called unto him the chief architects, the head artificers and cunning workers in silver and gold and in wood and in ivory and stone—yea, all who aided in working on the Temple of the Lord, and he said unto them: "Sit you down at my table; I have pre pared a feast for all my chief workers and artificers. Stretch forth your hands, there fore, and eat and drink and be merry. Is not the laborer worthy of his hire? Is not the skillful artificer deserving of honor? Muzzle not the ox that treadeth out the corn. ' And when Solomon and the chief tvork men were seated, and the fatness of the land and the oil thereof were set upon Om table, there came one who knocked loudly at the door, and forced himself even into the fes tal chamber. Then Solomon, the King, was wroth and said, 'What manner of man art thou?" And the Man answered and said: "When men wish to honor me they call me Son of the Forge; but when they desire to mock me, they call me blacksmith; and seeing that the toil of working in fire covers me with sweat and smut, the latter name, 0 King, is n ot inapt, and in truth thy servant desires no better." “But,” L•ai.l Solomon, "why came you thus rudely and unhidden to tLe feast, Where none QilVe the chief Nvorlinien of the Temple ate invited!" "Please ye, toy Lord, I came rudely," re plied the man, "because thy servant obliged me to force my way; but I came not unhid den. Was it not proclaimed that the chief workmen of the Temple were to lino with the king of Israel?" Then, he who carved the cherubim said: "This fellow is no sculptor." And he who inlaid the roof with pure gold said: ":'either is he a workman in fine metals." And he who raised tl,e walls said: "Ire is not a cutter of stone." And he who made the roof cried out: "Ire is not cunning in cedar wood; neither know eth he the mystery of uniting pieces of strange timber together." Then, said Solomon: "What Nast thou to say, Son of the Forge, why I should not or der thee to be 'plucked by the beard with a scourge, and stoned to death with stones?" When the Son of the Forge heard this he was in no sort dismayed; but, advancing to the table, snatched up a cup of wine, and said: "0 Xing, live forever! The chief men of the workers in wood and gold and stone, have said that I am not of them, and they have said truly. I tun their superior; be fore they lived was I created. lam their master, and they are all my servants." And he turned him around, and said to the chief of the carvers in stone: "Who made the tools with which you carve?" And he said: "the blacksmith." And he said to the chief of the workers in wood: "Who made the tools with which you hewed the trees of Lebanon, and formed them into pillars and roof for the Temple?" And he said: "the blacksmith." Then he said to the artificer in gold and ivory: "Who makes your instruments by which yin work beautiful things for my Lord the King?" And he said: "the blacksmith." "Enough, enough, my good fellow," said Solomon, "thou hast proved that I invited thee and thou art all men's father in art. Go crash the smut of the forge from thy face, and come and sit at my right hand. The chiefs of my workmen are but men—thou art more.' So it happened at the feast of Solomon, and blacksmith'm have beau honored ever since.—London llagazine. TILE PEIRAFE "Loa ROLLING."—Since sug gesting the probable origin of this phrase, we have met with the following in the llii torical ittagazine, which assigns the same : The phrase is drawn from the clearing of forest land in a new country. The settler could himself cut down the trees, and cut them into lengths or logs. The next step %vas to roll them into heaps fur burning. and that he could not do without help; so he called his neighbors to help him roll, and when they bad a rolling he helped them. This was aptly applied to legislative action for the passage of laws fur local measures. Vote fur my bill and I will vote for yours. The phrase was probably western; it is cer tainly more than forty years old. SOMEIVUERE—Arnow.— ' • ll,l‘tber, can't I go and have my daguerreotype taken?"

One of these came off in a neighboring county, during the progress of their race, at which Andy Johnson and Aaron V. Brown were an nounced to speak. On the designated day the two electors turned their Rosinantes towards the convention, and, unaware of each other's intention of going thither, one was some miles in advance of the other, but riding at such a leisurly pace as con sorted with a habit of oritorical improvisa tion to which lie was addicted, was overta ken by his opponent, who recognizing him ahead, rode stealthily up, to surprise him by his unexpected proximity. Just as he was about to make known his presence, a sudden clapping of his opponents hands, and vehement shouting of his name, arrested his intention, and he listened fur the de nouement, After sonic moments pause as if waiting some imaginary acclamation to subside, his opponent threw himself back in his saddle and thus began his exordium, gracefully gesticulating the while to his viewless an- dience: "Fellow-citizens, I thank you most warmly for the high compliment of this en thusiastic call to the stand, just after it has been vacated by such distinguished orators; but vthilst I feel deeply gratified for the unmerited honor, it but tenfold enhances my diffidence and distrust, thus to fol low in the wake of that clarion elo- Bence wi:ose tones are yet ringing in your ears. And, fellow-citizens, I as sure you nothing would induce roe to re spond to ;% our call, under such disadvan tages, but a lofty faith in the cause which I advocate. 'Thrice is he armed, who hath his quarrel just,' and panoplied in the in vincible armor of Democracy, I stand be fore yon here to-day, gentlemen, an humble but a fearless champion of that glorious cause, which has redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled a crushed and bleeding world!" here he paused, with tremendous clap ping of his hands and shouts of "Oh, my —, go it my—, "calling his own name. The fancied applause subsiding, ho resumed "Chosen, gentlemen, by the Democracy of my county, as their standard•bearer in this contest, I have planted the proud banner,. in victorious triumph, on many a hurt:- fought field. Wielding the ponder us mace of Democratic truth, I have cloven my op ponent down through hand-plate, skull, brains, backbone and bowels, and left him like a shapeless mass of thunder-riven Jove ' splitted humanity!" Just at this impetu ous rush, of his oratory, a loud laugh from his listner behind, overwhelmed him with discomfiture; bat be recovered the next mo• ment, by the following apt quotation from his favorite author: "Angels and ministers of grace defend Us! What may this mean, that tbou, dead corso, revisits thus the glimpse' of the sun, making day hideous, and we fools of Nature to shake so horribly in our dispositions." There's a story current in which "Sam Metlary" figure,. "Nis - l',.t‘tellency" went into a barber's shop at Lecompton to get shaved. The barber is a black man, and belongs to Judge Ellmore, for ours, as Bu chanan says, is a M ace soil. Sam.—"l'll shave by the month." Barber—" Don't know, masaa, 'bout that." Sam.—" Why not, Torn?" Barber.—"Kase. MILF.II, you Gubunurs stay mighty short time in liansa9.--- Can't trust you fur four weeks. Tuo lung a time for people of your color." Of course, Governor Modary paid up; there was nu help fur it. JUVENILE Pateoctry.—A little child of; this city was holding a very animated con versation with one about its own years, a few days since. A portion of it was over heard, and it appeared to be a dispute as to what their "mothers could do." After nam ing over other various meritorious acts of which their maternals were capable, the one in question put an end to the dispute by exclaiming: "Well, there's ono thing my mother can do that your's can't—my mother can take every one of her teeth oat at once" THE PRESIDENT or THE U;SITED SFATE , .— * * Again and again, on every possible occasion, tte disavows with contempt and ridicule his supposed aspiration for a second term of office. "Two old men," he says, "ikryr,elf and Lewis Cass, if we live so long, will quit this city on the Gth of March, 1861, with much lighter and less burdened hearts than wo bore with us on canting here."— There is a pr.ined sincerity in the tone of these avowals—a bitterneNs as of thwarted good intentions and misapprehended mo tives, which I cannot find it in my heart either to doubt or not sympathise with.— Cor. of Times. MrSome fun loving fellows in Newcastle Pa., recently started a society there which purported to be a lodge of the Sons of Mal ta. One of the initiated, however, exposed the whole concern. lie states that after being initiated, he signed what was repre sented to he the Constitution of the Order, but which turned out to be nothing more or less than an order for a keg of beer upon one of the town brewers. The club had been indulging in lager at the expense of tho new members for several weeks, but since the "blow" they have fallen through. LGE:C. WALIER dICATIIOLIC.—We learn, on the authority of the Mobile Mercury of the Ist inst., that Gen. Walker was received into the bosom of the Catholic Church in that city on the day previous. The an nouncement that the ceremony of initiation was to take place drew together a large concourse. e6r3lrs. Partington has bought a horse so spiritous that he always goes off in a decanter. AnAn JEALMVSY.—A case submitted titre, days ;Igo to the military tribunal at Algiers, presented a curious example. of Arab man ners. It is the custom of itinerant Arai, musicians at Ides, to introduce, generally in the way of compliment, the names of women into their songs. On the 26th of July last, a band of them beaded by one Mahommed, a noted singer, went to the village of Ait Zian, in the circle of Titi Ouzcu, which is occupied by a Kabyle tribe, and as the men of the place are noted fur jealousy, the caid prudently recommended the musicians to abstain altogether from mentioning any woman's name. They promised to fellow his counsel, and for a time did so; but at last Mahon:mood intg,an singing the praises of one Fatima, and the burden of his song was, "Fatima, I wish I could possess theel I would give money to_ embrace theel" He was continuing when the report of a firearm was heard, and Ma hemmed staggered and fell dead. A. mar_ named El Hadj stood forth and said, "It was I who fired the fatal shot, and I am not sorry fur what I have done. Any other man in my place would have done the same. I killed the man because he spoke of the charms of Fatima, my wife, and thereby outraged me in my honor." lie was taken into custody, and it was he who was tried by the military tribunal. It was stated in his defence that be was a respectable man, but dreadfully jealous, and that ho honestly believed himself entitled to kill any man who admired his wife. He was declared guilty, with extenuating circumstances, and was sentenced to five years imprisonment. —London Times. „The Governor of Michigan has un amiably vetoed the bill granting G4O acres of swamp land to Mrs. Rogers, who, beside having nine small children and one tet the breast, gave being, awhile since, to four children at a birth.
