Wouhl you like to be Clerk of Aederl
I'll appoint you an Clerk of Mdse."
"There'll be nothing to do but the papers to reed;
Three others shall help you in cue there is need:
When pay.day comes round, your mall pittance you'll draw—
It's only a thousand, I with It were more,
For the poor hard-worked (leek of Amiss,
The hadly-pald Clerk of Anise."

THZ FAITH THAT CAN RZIIOI,IIIIIOOIIITAINS.—Az old
lady was one night reading that peonage in the Bible
which speaks of the faith that can remove mountains.
Now, there was behind her humble dwelling a high hill,
which hid the nearest village from her view. She had
often wished that this hill might be token away ; so
before retiring she prayed that it might be removed,
because she had faith that it would be done. Bet in
the morning when she arose ahe lifted the curtain, and
10, the mountain was still there. Then the old lady
said to hr son, "Just on 1 espected, John; the old hill
stands there yet."
