AN APOSTATE'S REWARD.—A European, in the service
of a wealthy Turk, having embraced the religion of the pro-
phet, informed his master of the circumstance. " I am
heartily glad of it," said the Turk. "As thou must now
drink no wine, I shall pay thee 30 guilders per month less
than 1 used to do ;" and he gave orders that a strict eye
should be kept upon this perjured fellow, otherwise he might
be false to him also.—Foreign Monthly Review.
