their prayer; the wind ceased, and the
ship went on her way in safety.
1T was happy for me when 1 decided
to take you, my boy said the captain
'As soon as we reach St. Petersburg; you
shall have day on shore, for your pray
ers have saved the ship
He kept his promise, and the boy en-
ployed his holiday in going all over that
large and beautiful city. He stopped in
front of the Emperofs palace, and stood
still, admiring all the magnificent carri-
ages which were passing to and fro
While thus employed, he saw something
fall out of one of them. He picked it up;
it was beautiful diamond bracelet. He
ran after the carriage, and called out to
the coachman to stop, but it was useless.
The carriage was soon out of sight. John
went back directly to the captain, and
showed him what he had found.
You're lucky fellow, John: these are
very valuable diamonds
But they are not mine, answered John.
Where did you find them?'
They fell out close to me; 1 picked
them up and ran after the carriage, but
the coachman drove on, and neither saw
nor heard me-
We'll, John, you did all you could do
to give them back to their owner; now
they are yours, you can sell them in Lon

NO, no, Captain, the diamonds are not

England, I could not pray to the Lord,
with such dishonest intentions in my heart;
and what would become of US them
'Ah, had not thought of that said
the captain, who only wanted to try him,
come, we'll try and find the owner
He was soon discovered, and John re-
ceived, $50 as a reward for his honesty.
An immense sum for him! At the Cap
tain's advice, he laid it out in furs, which
be afterwards sold in England for double
the price they had cost him. With this
little fortune, and light, joyous heart,
be began his journey home. He saw the
cottage where he had left bis poor mother;
but the path was all grown over with
grass, the windows were shut up, the
house was empty. Poor John was al
most broken-bearted 'Doubtless,' be

and misery But he just recognized one

and grateful John felt when be brought
her back to her cottage again. 1t is his
greatest delight to take care of her, and
to support her with his labor.
Now, dear children, it was the Bible
that made John an honest, faithful and
intelligent youth-that gave him the
knowledge of Christ-that led him to the
Savior, by whose spirit his heart was
changed, and he became the JOY of his
mothers heart, and blessing to the world.

The best evidence that can be adduced in favor
of the eficaciousness of Hoofands German Bitters
prepared by DR.. C. NJ. Jackson is the unprecedent
demand for them from all parts of the Union; and
although there may be many compounds prepared
and represented being worthy of liberal patron
age yet feel constrained to remark, that the vast
number of testimonials with which the worthy doctor
has been honored by persons Of the highest charGc-
ter and responsibility, who found it necessary to
have to his preparation, is testimony suf-
iciently cor elusive, that a more efectaal remedy
for the almost immediate relief of those afflicted with
that dreful malady dyspepsia, has never be en- dis
covered.

the tomb. She had died that morning after a
brief conflict with disease. The white roses
