A Legend of Judea
The cite occupied by the Temple of Solntnon
was formeriy a cultivated field, possessed in common
by two brothers. One of theM was married, and
had several children ; the other was unmarried ; they
lived together. however, cultivating, in the greatest
harmony possible, the property they had inherited
from their father.
The harvest Staten had arrived ; the two broth-
Ors botind up their sheaves; made two equal stacks
Of them, and left them on the field. During the
night, the one who was unmarried was struck with
an excellent thought: my brother, said he, to him
self, has a wife and thildren to support ;. it is not
just that my share of the harvest should be as large
as his. Upon this he arose, and took from his stack
several sheaves, which he added to those of his bro
ther; and this he did with as much secrecy at if he
had been committing an evil action, in order that
his brotherly offering might not be refused. On the
same night the other brother awoke, and said to
his wife, " my brother lives alone, witttoiit d eem
panion; he has no ono to resist him in his librirti;
nor to reward him for his tails; while God has be
stowed oti me II Wtfe and children; it is trot right
that we should take from our common field as many
sheaves as he, since We have already more then he
hes—domestic happiness. if you consent, we shall,
by adding secretly a certain number of our sheaves
to his stack, by way of compensation, and without
his knowledge, see his portion of the harvest in
creased." This project was approved, and imme
diately put into execution.
In the morning, each of the brothers went to the
field and was much surprised at seeing the stocks
equal. During several successive nights, the same
contrivance was repeated on each side ; for, us each
kept adding to his brother's store the stacks always
remained the sante. But one night having stood
sentinel to dive into the cause of this miracle, they
met, each bearing the sheaves mutually destined
for the other: it was all thus elucidated, and they
rushed into each other's arms, each grateful to hoe
yen for having so good a brother. Now, says the
legend, the place where so good an idea had sim
ultaneously occurred to the two brothers, and with
so much pertinacity, must have been acceptable to
God : men blessed it, and Israel chose it, there to
erect the house of the Lord l—Lantortine, Voy

A Speech by Gen. Stumm.
The following is an extract front a speech of Gen.
litincura, in favor of 64 40:
" Mr. Speaker—When I open my eyes and look
over the vast expanse of this great country—when
I see bow the years of freedom has caused it to rise
ire the scale of civilization, and expand on every
side—when I see it growing, swelling, roaring like
a spring freshet—l cannot resist the idea, sir, that
the day will come when this great nation, like a
young school boy, will buret its straps, and become
entirely too big for its hoots. Sir, we want elbow
room—the continent, the whole continent—and we
will have it. Then shall the great Uncle Sam,
placing his hat upon the Canada., rest his right aim
upon the Oregon and California coast, his left upon
the eastern seaboard, and whittle away the British
power, while reposing his leg, like a freeman, upon
Cape Horn! Sir, the day will—the day must
come."

The Secret or Success.
There ere come men who appear born to good
f,rtune, and other. whose destiny appears to sub
ject them to eternal failure and disaster. The an- .
cicnts represented Fortune as a blind goddess, be
cause she distributed her gills without discrimina
tion; and in modern times, the belief has been
prevalent that the fortunes of a Stan were ruled
chiefly by the influences of the planet under which
he was born. Those superstitions, however ridic
ulous, show at Least that the connexion between
merit and success is not very conspicuous, yet it is
not therefore the lean perpetual. To coerced in the
world, is of itself a proof of merit ; of a vulgar
kind indeed it may be, but a useful kind notwith
standing. We grant, indeed, that those qualities
of rebid which make a man succeed in life, are to
a great extent subversive of gemus. Nevertheless,
numerous illustrious examples might be given of
men of the highest genius being as worldly-wise as
duller mortals. It is the pretenders to genius, rather
' than the possessors of it, who claim the large eV
eruption from those rules of prudence which regu
late the conduct of ordinary mortals, and array
themselves in the deformities of genius, in the Idea
that they conetitute its beauties. There are some
indiscretions, we believe, to which men of a vigor
ous fancy and keen sensibility aro naturally heir,
and for which it would be as unjust to condemn
them with rigor, as it would be to blame one of the
Icold blooded sone of discretion for being destitute
of poetic fire. Yet every deviation front prudence
I is a fault, and is not to be imitated, though it may
sometimes be excused.
The most important element of success Is econ
omy; economy of money and economy of time.—
By economy we do not mean penuriousness, Mt
merely such wholesome thrift as will disincline us
to spend our time or money without an adequate
return either in gain or enjoyment. An economical
application of time brings leisure and method, and
enables us to drive our business, instead of our bu

ridicule and contempt, and can see in these demon
ofAmerican greatness and honorable corm
petition with foreign enterprise nothing but a shil
ling strew, with no higher character than a menag
erie. When a few weeks, pgo a British agent ex
hibited his specimens Of British manufacture in a
room in the Capital, the free trade locos were de
lighted, but when American Manufactureicame for
ward to show what can be done in this country, the
locos turned up their noses and swear they smell a
menagerie. Fine patriots, these Locofocos! Where

A wretched looking object, the wreck of a fair
and lovely gitl,was brought before Recorder Baldwin
yesterday morning for being found drunk hi the
streets. Su fearful and deplorable a eight of wretch
edness we have not seen for a long, long time. The
pallid face and sunken cheek and eye told a tale of
vice, sickness and misery pursued for tifew ahori
years, which had hurried a young girl to the brink
of eternity. Her long black hair hung in tangled
masses over a skinny neck where every muscle and
vein stood out in bold relief. A ragged, dirty pet
ticoat, and the waist of What, had once beak a
gown, was all the vestige of a dress she had on.
" Mury Collins," said the Recerder, "1 are sorry
to say that you were found drunk in the street yes•
terdai."
"Ito, no, yaur boner—no, no, sir," said the .
trembling victim, o not drunk in the streets not
drunk ! I jurt laid down in the shade, for I was
tired, that's all. Bo pleased to let me go this time.
I cannot promise that I won't bo brought up again,
for I must drink. I have tried to leave off, but
no use, no use. I have no friends left, not one:
tktlli where is the use of lerivin' Mr the only thing I
have to make me forget myself and ail the world
I'm not worth savin' and besides it's too late new,
too late. So let.rne go this time."
The Recorder told Mary she was more an object,
for sympathy than punishment, but as she wonld
be infinitely better off fn the workhouse than lying
about the street., he should send her there for a few
days.—N. 0. Pic.
