easily described.

that?"

"Ah! the times eh they are bad, very
bad, sure enough but do they affect you!"
"Vy monsieur, l lose de confidence"
"Not in me, hope"
"Pardonnez moi, monsieur, but do not

"Then you want your money!"
"Oui, monsieur, 1 starve for want of

"Can't you do without it?"
"No, monsieur, must have it."
"You must ?"
"Oui, monsieur" said dimity breeches,
turning pale with apprehensiOns for the
safety of his money.
"And you can't do without it!"'
'No, monsieur, not Won moment Ion

The merchant reached his bank book,
drew check on the bank for the amount,
and handed it to his visitor.
"Have you Pargent in de bank Z"

"And is it parfaitement convenient to

"Undoubtedly. What astonishes your"

After further conference, the French
man prevailed upon the merchant to re-
tain the money, and left the counting house
with light heart and counteuance very
different from the one be wore when he
entered. His confidence ,cas restored, and
although be did not stand in need of mo.
ney, he wished to know that his property
was in safe hands.

A RE YOU INSURED AGAINST LOSS
~ BY FIRE There are but few who
receive sympathy who incur loss by neglecting
this most necessary and substantial preeautiOn.
We often see ii announced that persons have
lost their stocks of Goods and Furniture, and
results of years Of industry swept from them
by the devonrinS element over which they
have no control but by being insured.
Insurance protects you from the incendiary,
negligence of servants and the casualties of
your neighbors. 1t will impart confidence your cred
itors and give character prudence and rrecaution
all your business transactions.
1t requires but very small to insure in sums

AREMARKABhE DREAM.

In the memoirs of Hutton, the Morvian,
we find the following:
Zone night in London he had u dream, in
which he imagined that some one shook him
by the arm and earnestly besought him to
proceed forthwith to q certain house where
his help was wanted. lie woke up, thought
it was only dream, and fell asleep again.
The same impression came over him Sec
ond time. Feeling disturbed, he turned
himself, and again fell asleep. Now
still more powerful shaking took
place, and a third time he was importuned
to comply with the request, or it would be
too late. Greatly alarmed, he arose, dress
ed himself quickly, and, in the darkness of
the night, lantern in hand, FASTENED to the
street. which had been distinctly indicated,
and rang the bell Of the house pointed out
to him in his dream. The door was opened,
and, at the inquiry Of Hutton, kewas told
that an old man lived in one Of the upper
rooms, who was probably the person he
sought. Hutton with some trouble ascend
ed, opened the door, and saw very aged
maa reading by lalnplight, in the prophet
Isaiah. He had razor in his right hand,
with which he was about to destroy himself.
SIN the name Of Christ Jesus, hold. Say
ing this, Hutton sprang forward, seized the
arm, and wrenched the murderous weapon
from the hand Of the victim of dispair.-
He then proclaimed to him who had lost all
hope Of salvation, that for him as well as for
himself, the most deserving of wrath, the
Son Of God had died on the cross. The poor
old man was saved; and amidst food of
tears he thanked the Lord, who at tbs crit
teal noment had sent his angel Of peace
