THE GOLD MINE.

a certain Spaniard had a gold mine Of
very great value; but, instead of working
il IN proper manner, he con'cnled him
self with digging over the surface and re-
moving little Of the earth, but never
went half deep enough to &c, to the gold;
so that, although he was the owner Of the
gold mine, he lived and died poor, never
having got 50 much from lis mine as to
keep him from poverty.
Now The Bible is more valuable than q
rold mine; and the truth it contains. that,
God so loved the world, that he gave his
only bcrot,en Son, that,whosoever believeth
in him should not PERISH but have ever
lasting Iifa,' (john iii, lG} is more pre-
cions than the choicest gold. If then, we
90 deep enough into our Bibles to discover
the Saviour of sinners, and to acknowledge
him as our Saviour. happy are we; but ii
we rest coniented in reading the Bible
without discovering this truth, we shall get
no more profit from the Bible than the
Spaniard did from his gold mine.

"She alwas comes nj four o'clock,
And now it's striking three"
AT stroke Of four the lady came,
A lady young ard fair,
