OF. DETSEY.-St. Bet6ey was welded
70 . knight who sailed with Raleigh and
brought home tobacco, and the knight
smoked. But he thought that ST. Bet
sey, ike other fine ladies' in the court,
would fain that he should smoke out of
doors, nor taint with tobacco smoke the
tapestry. Whereupon the knight would
seek his garden, his orchard, and in any
weather smoke sub Jove. Now, it chanced
~ the knight smoked, st. Betsey came to
him and said: "My lord, pray ye, come
into the house," and the knight went
with St. Betsey, who took him into a
newly cedared room, and said: ~ pray,
my lord, henceforth smoke here, for is it
not shame that you, who are the foun-
dation aud prop Of your house, should
have no place to put your head into and
smoke And St. Bctsey led him to .
chair, and with her own fingers filed
him a pipe; and from that time the
knight sat in the cedar room and smoked
his weed. a..N s
Sr. SALLY.-St. Sally from her child
hood was known for her innermost love
Of truth. It was said Of her that her
heart was in . crystal shrine, and all the
world might see it. Now once when
other women denied, or strove to hide
their age, St. Sally said:-" AN FIVE
AND THIRTY Whereupon, next birth
day, St. Sally's husband, at feast Of all
their friends, gave her necklace Of six
and-thirty oval beads; and on every birth
day added bead until the beads amoun-
ted to four score and one. And the
beads seemed to act as . charm; for St..
Sally, wearing the sum of her age about
her neck, age never appeared in her face.
Such, in the olden time, was the reward
Of simplicity and truth.
ST. pHILLrs.-St. Phillis was virgin
of noble parentage, but withal a. simple
~ shepherdess Of curds and cream. She
married lord, and had much pin-money.
Bnt when other ladies wore diamonds
and pearls, Phillis only wore red and
white rose in her hair. Yet her pin-mon.
ey bought the best of jewelry in the hap.
py eyes of the poor about her. St. Phil
lis was rewarded She lived until -four
score, and left her fragrance in their
memory.
Sr. PHoEBE.-St Phoebe was married
early to a wilful, but withal a good heart
ed husband He was q merchant, anc
would come home sour and sullen from
Change. Whereupon, after much pom
dering, St. Phoebe in her patience set t
work and praying the while, made o
dyed lambs wool, door-mat. And !
chanced from that time forth, that neve
did the husband touch that mat, that h
didn't clean his temper with his shoes
and he sat down by his Phoebe, as mil'
a. the lamb whose wool he had trod up
on. Thus gcntlencss may make miracu
lous door-mats.
St. LILLY.-St. Lilly was the wife Q
a poor man, who tried to support hi
family, and his children were many, b
writing books. In those days it was no
SO easy for man to end publisher as I
say his Paternoster. Many were tn
books that were written by the husban
Of St. Lilly, but to every book St. Lill
gave at least two babies. However, blith
as . cricket was the spirit that rule
about the hearth Of St. Lilly. And ho'
she helped her helpmate! She smile
sun beams into his ink bottle, and turne
his goosc-pcn to the quill Of dove! sh
made the paper he wrote on as white
her name and as fragrant as her soul
And when folks wondered how St Lii
managed SO lightly with fortunes trout
, les, she answered that she never heede
them, for, that troubles were like babies
and only grew bigger by nusing.
