dle-bags. Not reaching the village he
expected, after travelling all day, he made
at the approach of dark, for light at dis
tance. On arriving at the house. he en-
quired if he could stay all night, and was
answered in the affirmative. He had no
small anxiety about his money, and
watched very closely the inmates of the
dwelling. After some time, the head of
the family remarked, it was time fol the
children to retire to rest, and wished his
wife to reach him the Bible for wotship,
The travellerin narrating the circumstance,
afterwards stated, that the mere mention
OF the Bib!e removed all his anxiety in a
moment. He knew his money was safe
"a believer in the Bible would not steal
Could any other book in the world pro-
duced snch an instaneons effect. Blessed
volume may its holy influence be shed
over all lands!
