THE W ISE MAN TAUGHT WISDOM.
One day in early spring, the youth Solomon
sat beneath the palms in his father's garden,
and bending his eyes on the ground, seemed
deep in thought. Nathan, his teacher, stepped
up to him and inquired,
"Why sittest thou here so thoughtfully ?"
Solomon raised his head, and replied,
"Nathan, I should like to behold a miracle."
The prophet smiled, and answered,
"That is a wish I also indulged in, in my
youthful days."
"And was it fialfilled ?" hastily inquired the
royal prince.
"A man of God," thus Nathan continued,
"approached me once, holding the seed of a
pomegaranate in his hand. 'Behold,' said he,
'what will become of this seed.' Thereupon
he made a small hole in the earth with his
finger, laid the seed in it, and covered it up
again. When be had withdrawn his hand, the
earth divided, and I savAltwo' tiny leaves ap
pear. But scarcely had I seen them before
they closed fogether, and became a smooth,
round stem, enveloped in a rind ; and the stem
became visibly higher and thicker.
'The man of God spoke to me, saying, 'Pay
attention.' And whilst I was watching, there
;prang seven branches from the trunk, like
unto the seven arms of the candlestick on the
altar. I wondered; but the wan of God made
signs, and bid me be silent and attentive.—

Behold,' said he, 'new creations will take
place.'.
"Thereupon he took water in the hollow of
his hand from a brook that waspowing past.
and sprinkled therewith the branches three
different times ; and the branches now hung
full of verdant leaves, spreading refreshing
shade around us, mingled with sweet-smel
ling odors. 'Whence,' I exclaimed, 'arises
this perfume, in addition to the cooling shade
of the leaves ?"
"'Bost thou not see,' answered the man of
God, 'those purple flowers, haning - in clus
ters, and peeping between the leaves ?"
"Before I could yet reply, a soft breeze
arose, and, rustling through tee leaves, cast the
flowers to the earth, like to flakes of snow
floating down from the clouds. Scarcely had
the blossoms fallen, when the beautiful red
pomegranates appeared between the leaves,
like the, alMonds on Aaron's staff. The man
of God then left me, sunk 'in silent wonder."
Nathan ended. Hastily Solomon exclaim
ed—
"Where is he? What is the name of . the
holy man ? Is he still alive ?"
Nathan answered,
"Son of David, I have related a dream ?"
When Solomon heard these words, be be
came-sorry at heart, and sad.
"How canst thou thus deceive me ?" he
said.
But Nathan continued :
. .
"I have not deceived' thee, son of David.—
Behold in thy father's garden thuu caust see
all that I have related in reality. Is not (he
same, the ease with every pomegranate, and
with other trees ?"
"Yes," answered Solomon; "but gradually,
within a wide space of time."
Then answered Nathan,
"Is, then, the miracle the less wonderful or
divine because it takes place in quiet and with
out show ? I should think it the more won
derful.
"Study the works of Nature," he continued,
"then you will learn to believe in the Most
Eligh, and not pine and wish fur miracles by
human hands."
A PHILOSOPHIC DARKEY.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
writing from the Cumberland River, gives the
following humorous colloquy with a philosophic
darkey :
I noticed upon the hurricane deck to-day an
elderly darkey with a very philosophical and
retrospective, cast of countenance, squatted
upon his bundle, toasting his shins against
the chimney, and apparently plunged into a
state of profound meditation. Finding, upon
inquiry, that he belonged to the 9th Illinois;
one of the most gallantly behaved and heavy
losing regiment at Fort - Donelson battle; and
part of which was aboard, I began to interro
gate him on the subject. His philosophy was
so much in the Falstaffian vein that 1 will give
his views in his own words as near as my
memory serves me :
"Were you in the fight ?"
"Had a little taste of it, sa."
"Stood your ground, did you 7"
"No sa, I runs."
"Run at the first fire, did you ?"
"Yes: and would hab run sooner had I know
ed it war contin'."
"Why, that wasn't very creditable to your
courage."
"Dat isn't in my line, sa--cookin's my per
leshin."
"Well, but have you no regard for your
reputation ?"
"Reputation nuffin to me by de side ob
life."
"Do you consider your life worth more than
other people's ?"
"Its worth more to me, sa."
"Then you must value your, life very high
ly ?"
"Yes, ea, I does—more dan all dis wuld,
more dan a million ob dollahs, sa, for what
would dat be wuth to a man wid de bref out
ob him? Self-preserbashun am de fust law
wid me."
"But why should you act upon a different
rule froin other men?"
"Because different men set different values
upon dar lives; wine is not in the market."
"But if you lost it, you would have the sat
isfaction of knowing that you died for your
country."
"What satisfaction would dat be to me when
de power of feelin' was. gone ?"
"Then patriotism and honor are nothing to
you?"
"Nutria whatever, ea—l regard dem as
among de vanities."
Vit. our soldiers were like .you, traitors might
have' broken up the Government without re-
sistance."
"Yes, ma, dar would have been no help for
it; wouldn't put my life in de scale 'ginPt any
guberment dat eber existed, for no guberment
could replace de loss to me."
"Do you think any of your company would

EATING ICE-CREAM RAW.
On a very warm and sultry evening during
the summer of '4B, as Doctor B and
thyself-were seated in a fashionable saloon of
our town, indulging in the cool luxuries which
the` proprietors of the establishment know so
well how to prepare, and chatting the while
upon such subjects as fancy and caprice suu
gested,—a tall, limber-looking fellow of .about
twenty-three, made his appearance, and after
looking about him some time in bevrilderment
and doubt, seated himself at a table close by
the one at which we were sitting. The young
man was apparently a sfranger, and from
the country; and the illuminated sign, with
"Ice-Cream," "Confectionaries," &e., blasoned
thereon, had evidently taken him in. Know
ing the Doctor to have a great propensity for
practical joking, I turned to see what effect
this oew arrival would have on him; and one
glance at his restless, twinkling eye, satisfied
me that there would be•sport.
After sitting some time as if uncertain how
to proceed, the young man plucked up suffi
cient courage to address us, and inquired
whether he could "get some ice-cream, and a
couple of confectionaries ;"' stating, at the same
time, that he had "never been at the canawl
afore, and didn't know how people acted at sich
places." He was informed by the Doctor, that
if he would ring the small bell which stood
upon the table, his wishes would be gratified.
The green 'an did as he was directed, and its
due time was served with the ice-cream and
"eonfeetionaries." After eyeing for a few
minutes the articles before him, he took the
spoon from the glass, took a small quantity
of the cream, and put it to the tip of his
tongue; and then looked about the room with
an air of great satisfaction and delight. Sow,
however, another idea seemed to strike him ;
he rammed the spoon deep into the glass, took
it out• heaped full, and in a moment its contents
had disappeared. • •
•
At'this instant I felt a twitch at' My 'side--
the next the Doctor was on his feet—had
clutched my arm couvulsively,•and with one
hand pointing towards the victim, almost
screamed:
."Shocking ! that young man is eating
ice. cream raw !"
Down went ice-cream, spoon, confectionaries
and table, upon the floor ; out leaped the vie
tim at least teu feet towards the middle of the
room, grasping for breath—eyes protruding
from their sockets—and countenance exhibit
ing marks of the greatest terror and helpless
ness. In a moment the Doctor was by his
side—felt his pulse—unbuttoned his coat.
waistcoat, and shirt collar, as if to admit fresh
air; then gently pushing him into`a chair, com
menced fanning him with the skirt of his coat.
It was then that the victim's tongue first be
came loose, and with imploring look, he half
whispered, halt screahed—
"Oh, kin I live ?"
Upon this the Doctor looked mysterious, felt
his pulse again, examined his tongue, and then,
in a solemn tone, replied—
"lt may be, young man, that by implicitly
following my directions, you can yet escape the
consequences of your rashness and folly. I
would advise you to—"
"Anything, I'll do anything you tell me, so
as,l. kin get over this spell, and find -my way
home. attio."
"Well, then, sir, take off your coat." The
young man did so. "Tie a handkerchief about
you." He was obeyed. and now, sir, go to
the door, run three times around this square
with all the might in you; and then come
back to me, and I will tell you what further
to do."
The young man vanished, and we resumed
our seats; in a few minutes, however, he re
turned, puffing and blowing and apparently in
better spirits.

"Now," said the Doctor, "do you put on
your coat, button it up close to your chin ; go
to your lodging place, and turn into bed im
mediately; and let me advise you, young man,
that hereafter, before .you undertake to eat ice
cream see that it is properly prepared; and let
