[Thin benutiftil and instructive Legend was writen hv ft memlicr of the Second Presbyterian Church of Harlem, V. v., on the occasion of laying the foundation for their bouse of worship.] " What build ye here?" The voice was toft and low, Vet in it all the noise of toil was drowned; And every laborer stayed bis work to know Whence came the 'thrilling sweetness of the pound. n" A lowly passer-by, with aspect meek, ln Their souls, they knew not why, with awe so e. filled t They were at first bereft of power to speak; t. Tbon, with uncovered heads and tumults stillst '"'' Said, pausing on the busy path they trod, "We build a temple to the Kteknai, God." re * 18 "Why," spake the voice again,"your labor lose? u This (iod, whose breath the universe doth it swiy, ,n Who, wc -Ids on worlds doth in His service use, y Whose, owcr supreme both heaven and hell ~ obe) ,1 No fragile, earth-built resting place demands; 11 tiod dwelleih not in temples made with bands." ie In silence evcrv listener bowed bis bead; " Kut soon their leader, chosen and Iwlovcd, it With bumble bildness answered in their stead. O Aslfsomepo »erdivine bis spirit movid: T, ie " Not w-Mh our hands alone this house we rear, f Of substance frail, to crumble back to dust, .1 Ourtioil-given treasures all we lavish here— Z Our love, our sell denial, bono and trust; '* The heart's best liurpostf, brightest, holiest u thought, Through all this sacred structure arc inwrought. sl " Its corner-stone repentance, faith sublime, >9 And hope that taketb hold within the vull, jl Safe anchorage amid the shock of time, A sure foundation that can ne'er fail: ° Walls reared with patient, self-forgetting care, And every stone cemented with a prayer. " High over all the work its spire shall rise, f Hope, pointing to its home beyond the skies; Lore, yearning every ann of man to bless, While journeying through this tangled wilderj ness; Healing all wounds with balms of,leans' blood, And leading wanderers to the Lamb of (iod. He whom we trust, though faith be sometimes dim, Will help us rear thoEe sacred walls to Him." i (• A heavenlv light shines from that visage marred with hands outstretched, which seemed as if Q deep scarred, I- He speaks, while prostrate at his feet they lie: - "If thus ye build, your work shall never die; 0 This house my benediction shall receive, , The Triune Presence here forever live. t No labor for my sake shall e'er be lost, J Where dwell the Father, Son, and Holy C.ho«t." I* This said, he passed in glory from their side; 1 They looked once more, and knew Til E (Ji»t;cia 1.-II.I). 8 m A TELEGRAPH ERROR. • December nud M\iy, in the persons of " Mr. Joslnh Blend and Miss Barbara Paul, were united somn half dozen years ago in holy bonds of matrimony, Peo) pie who knew them botli were much amazed at the alliance; for the refined and ladylike Miss Paul—had she waited —might have, had something younger and handsomer than the veucrablc, anj cient and many-wrinkled Joshih. '- Being a successful Glasgow merchant, the aged Josiuh was rich; and naturally their acquaintances concluded that his , money was the chief attraction, Per. hups it was. It is not ferns to impute ■! motives either good or bad; but there ' were not lacking prophets enough, even * I In the small circle of their personal i ; friends, who ventured to foretell a short, -1 ' 1 sharp, and pecisive marriage campaign' in which the young wife would punish * the old man. and finally come out nf the 5 conflict, under the shelter of a ''judicial * separation,'' wifl* spoils sufficient to i maintain her in a competency for the ) remainder of her natural life. ' They proved false prophets. Whether money wes at the bottom of It or not, the pair lived as happily and as lovingly I as any two lovers could hope to do. S This was so till a certain year, when i two different circumstauces conspired to . bring matters to such a crisis that the judicial separation seemed inevitable. 1 Joslah was on the whole au inoffensive . old fellow; but when his usually slug' glsh temper was once quickened Into action, he, was prone to let it carry him - to such an extreme length that no 'one ' could defend him. Barbara was patient )' to a fault, and'tended him with a loving * and faithful devotion admirable In one J 10 young. The two unhappy causes which threatened for the time being to end their married life, were very dissimilar in themselves, though iu the end . I they got somewhat mixed up. They " were—Barbara's cousin, Charlie Robin - , i son, and a telegram. I " Barbara," said the antique Josiuh. [ one morning, at the breakfast table, •• I i wish that cousin of yours—' Dear Char- JI lie,' as you call him—would net come II here so often and monopolize so much i of your time.'' J " I do not think he dues take up much i of my time," responded his wife, in a ' mildly surprised tone. " But I do not . see very well how I could prevent him f coming, unless I shut the door in his } face." " Yon might do worse," growled Joslah; "a great deal worse. I hate him, with his pret-nsious, bis stuck-up airs, I his general humbug. Why, I heard him ■ call you his 'dear Babs' last night, " when he wanted you to sing with him." i " You are not jealous?" laughed Bar> bara reproachfully; "surely not. That , is the name he called me by when wo - were rhllrfrea. But Pll toll him that you dislike It, and no doubt he'll delist.". " You would do better to tell him not - to come at all, as his componv is not , wanted. I overheard him say last night - to that empty-headed chum of lili that ' I was an old feeil. Worse still, he said, 'That old fogj. Bloßil has a pile of ca»h; but lie is a miserable old skinflint, t aud won't part with it.' That was grati- | n tudc far you, after finishing a couple of | bottles of my old Burgundy and smok- J a iDg half a dozen of my finest cigars. He is an impudent scamp.'1 "There sorely must be some mistake," e urged his wife. ''Charlie would never say that." „ "He did, though," retorted Josiah, angrily—"l'm quite certain. Better - tell him never to come here again." "I would rather not, if it please you," reasonably replied his wife; "It would f be very unnatural for me to do so." 1 "You consider it more natural that I should be abused in my own house!'" 1 cried Josiah, now at a white heat. "Am , I to understand you positively refuse to do so?" " Well, I do not refuse," replied Barbara, with considerable tact, going over and kissing him affectionately on the cheele—" I do not absolutely  I most respectfully decline." Josiah was forced to smile at his wife's equivocation, and resolved to do the tiling himself. He did it neatly, too- He wrote to Charlie, saying that In future, it would be esteemed a favor if, at ■ any time he intended calling, he would; "send intimation of his intention be-I forehand, to prevent disappointment." j Charlie took the hint, and did not call . again. % A few months after this, Josiah caught a slight cold, nnd got otherwise 1 out of sorts, so that the doctor ordered him to go down to the Clyde for change j of air. It so fell out that Barbara's I mother took seriously ill at the same time; and as Barbara was an only daughter, she had to remain at her mother's bedside, and permit her husband to go away alone, of course, on the understanding, that when her mother got better, she would at once hasten to her good man. Josiah went to a certain town on the coast which we shall call L , aud engaged rooms with his old friend, Mrs. , Mcikle. During the first week, he did ' not improve, though Mrs. Mcikle was ' very attentive. Several letters passed* between man and wife, so that Barbara was advised M to his condition, and not a little anxious about him; but her mother was still dangerously ill. Next week her mother rallied.hut Josiah got worse. At last he had a severe billious attack, j aud was coiilltied to bed, so that the j presence of his wife was imperatively necessary. lie instructed Mrs. Meikle to telegraph for her; and this was the telegram which was delivered to his j wife: "Mrs.Mkiki.k, L—, To Mits BLBWD, | Woodburii House, Glasgow."—Yeurhus-j band is dead. Come down at once." Great consternation was the result. On the previous day Mrs. Blend had re- ( celved a piteous note from Josiah, say- l Ing he was "very ill," and stating that j ( he had been "vomiting frequently," M that she never questioned the accuracy j of the telegram. Neither did her father her her cousin Charlie, who was sent for in the emergency. i She was fearfully shocked at the unexpected intelligence, and rendered I well-nigh helpless, while the two men sagely shook their heads, and attempted to console her with some reflections on i the liability of old age to sudden death, which were well-meant but unfortunately iaeffective. Charlie undertook— as, of course, he was expected to do—all the arrangements in connection with the funeral. He went to the cemetery ' that afternoon, and ordered the grave I to be opened in three days; he put the 1 usual notice in the papers; issued the ' customary black-bordered announce- ' menu, weut to the undertaker's and or- ' dered a handsome coffin to be taken ' by the llrst train in the morning, and Indeed did everything ne-1 cessary with his usual business promptitude acd dispatch. Then he went to I I the telegraph olllce and forwarded this ! I message: '•Cuaiu.f.s Robinson, Woodhurn House, Glasgow, To Mim. Mkiki.b, L—. : Telegram received. Mrs. Blend very I , much grieved. Will be down by tlrst train to-morrow. Do best you can till then." Mrs. Meikle read the message to Josiah, who smiled sweetly at his wife'* j ! loving concern and wifely anxiety. It was very good of her to be much grlev- i i i. and to ask Mrs. Meikle to do all she I could for him. Mrs. Meikle noticed his | pleased expresslon.and jocularly observed that he seemed to be getting better | with the thought of her comlug dow», I and had no doubt that a sight of her would do him more good than all the | medicines he had taken. In the morn-! Ing lie felt so well that he got up; bat! hi* happy anticipations f.f his wife's arrival did not last long. Lifting the tol-1 •gram, which Mrs. Meikle had left lying on the table, he read it, and was horrified to discover— « hat Mrs. Meikle bad failed to read on the previous evening— that the message was not from hi* wife, but from the hated Charles Robinson. ■ The demon of jealousy took possession of his old soul, and dread suspicion set h!m on the rack of mental torture. " Charlie Rotlcsou at Womlbum! House!" exclaimed he to himself. "Ha* ! he actually been there all the time 1 | have been away? I believe her metli-1 er's illness lias been merely a blind; and yet the telegram says she is grieved, "very much grieved." Ay, ay, that must be because she has to come away from his delightful society. They have had a fine time of it, calling one another 'Dear Charlie' and 'Dear Babs.' Well, this is the last straw, and no mistake. I'll make both of them suffer, or my name's not Josiah." These and similar thoughts occupied j the convalescent merchant fully until 1 the arrival of the train. That same morning Mrs. Blend nnd Charlie took their places in Die train. Mrs. Blend had spent n sleepless night, and had been regret ting over and over again that she had not been permitted to see her husband in his last illness. She was dressed in deep mourning; her heart wa» very sad, and her mind Wai fllled with " thoughts too deep for words." Her cousin, the merry and talkative Charlie, had tied a crape baud upon tils arm, and he, too, was sympathetically silent. The two undertaker's men and the colliu were also in the train. Charlie thought, and rightly, too, that however well adapted the West Coast might be for supplying tho necessaries of life, a coflin of suitable size nud material was not a thing that could be obtained there on the shortest notice. That was his reason for taking oue down with him in order to bring the body up to town. The four persons formed nmelaocholy procession to the house of Mrs. Meikie. Barbara leaned heavily on Charlie's arm, while genuine tears of sorrow chased one another down her blanched cheeks, and the two men followed discreetly at n diMance with the cotlin on thcirslioulders.Mrs. Meikle opened the door and grasped both of them by the hand warmly, observing that "it was u line day;" but neither of them could reciprocate her greeting, and therefore sadly and silently shook hands. Without another word, Mrs. MeiUlo showed them upstair.", and they summoned all the courage at their command to enter the gloomy chamber of death. Charlie quietly and gently pushed the door open, and ushered in his cousiit. She cutered, lifted her ryes to the bed, but it was vacaut. Then she looked wildly about the room, and—there was her worthy husband In the llesu aud in life, standing ut the window in his dressinggowu, grimly looking down on the coffin which the two men had upon their shoulders at the gate below. With a fiercely angry glare he turned upon his wife. Her widow's weeds and thecofliti showed there was some monstrously strange thing afoot. He was about to speak, when his wife uttered a piercing stream and sank fainting to the floor. [Condwlrtl in our jic.rt] —Health, hope, and happiness are re- i stored by tho use I.ydia A.

A pretty good story is told aboMt Land Agent Milner of the Atchison, 'l'opcka, A, Santa Fe Railroad, who one day had a party of Eastern farmer* in tow, trying to sell each of them a farm in the rich Arkansas Valley. Milner had taken them into Ida light waggon, and behind his spunking team of bay" had given them a grand ride lasting all day. He had done bis part to make them eu> t!iusiattic by rehearsing them the stories, which he had at tongue'* end, of the marvelous crops of tho valley, but to aIL intent* It was " love'* labor lost, " for they would not'tbuse. This anaoyed Mjlner, but he had his revenge in his reply to one of the party, who, with a a sardonic smile, asked: "Well Mr. Agent, is there a»ythiag that won't grow hero?" " Ye»," replied Milurr; "pumpkins won't." •' What!" exclaimed the cynical land buyer* together; "pumpkins wont?" " No, sir." replied Milner. 'there are men in this country who would give UoO an acre for latd that would mature a crop of purakiiiS. They never have been able to get a crop since I have been here, and that's 10 years." " Well, how strange. Why Is it?" said land-buyer No. I. This wasMilner's chance, and, with a •erlous expresssion, he replied; "Well, sir, the soil is *o rich that the vines grow so fa«t that they wear the pumpkin* out dragging them over the ground.

Tho Lunaconiny Valley Thnnt gives an account of the discovery of a pair of i antediluvian bats in a coal mine, from | which the following facts nro extracted: I Mr. Anthony Keese, a miner employed in the Scrauton mine, near liarton, Al. leghaiiy County Md., dislodged what appeared to be a piece of potrifled wood in a seam of coal, 1,000 feet from the I opening of the mine and 250 feet below | tho aurfa.-c. ]n the presence <>t two other miners it was discovered that the find wa~ n pair of bats, and that they were alive.
