Hindoos that thief, having been
detected and condemned to die,
thought upon an expedient by
which he might be rescued from
death. He sent for the jailor, and
told him he bad n secret to disclose
to the King, and when he had
done SO he would be ready to die.
The King sent for him to know
what the secret was. He told him
he knew the art Of producing trees
that should bear gold. The King,
accompanied by his prime minis
ters, courticrs, and priests, came
with the thief to a certain spot,
where they began their incanta-
tiors. The thief then produced a
piece Of gold. declaring that if
sown it would produce tree, eve

therefore pass it to your Majesty"
The King replied" When was
a boy, l remember taking some
thing from my father, which, al

of the people, and, as | am expos

pleaded the same as to his conduct
in receiving the sacrifices. At
length the thief exclaimed-"I
know not why we should not all
four be hanged, since not one of us
is honest" The King was so
pleased at the ingenuity of the
thief that he granted him par

Those who are not so we'll versed

of Boston holds the practice -
Elder Knapp, who is as great
an original as he is an eloquent
exhorter. on Sunday last in Boston,
addressed large congregation on
the immortal tendencies of "thea-
tres and bowling saloons" The
bowling saloons received a grand
share Of condemnation, and were
used in a fgurative sense, by the
Elders saying that the devil was
rolling ten-pins, and the little de-
wills setting them up; that the devil
rolled three balls, the first of which
was Infdelity, the second Univer-
salism, and the third the ball of
Damnation. The first ball got
generally from one to three pins,
the second from five to seven, and
the third (Dammat.om) swept the
whole board, and got a ten-strike.
