ISRAEL BENroN,s BLESSING.

8Oi3 Israel TUNED ogt Of hoAse ana
lAoA.e. dcelare that's TOO paq .s...t
nus SAID :. seA.ionlsn who was talking
a0ouL INC lAlu.e of Seatord u Co., that
lnaue such a sur some years ago.
Uld. Israel benton Was worthy OF his
name. A dlanlhed. white haired man,
WITH Il calm, ana sweet counsenance, VINO,
wlJn regard W moral proDlty, naa iiveu IN
Lne cpurts OF the Loru ali the uays OF his
lIie.
everything was taken belonging to Sea-
foru a. 70. Not even the lutte house
where Israel benton had lived IN comiory
with his aged wits, was spared. For TWEEN
ty years b. had been connected with sea-
ford u Cog had done his duty with un-
tagging spirits and untailing regularity.
1t had seemed to him as if he was to uie
in their honored employ. John Seaford
had often said to him 3s
"lsraei, don't tax yourself too hard /;
rest when You will, old friend; and it the
time comes that you must .ay by, why,
remember that you and your wite are pro-
vlded for" And SO he had complacently
looked upon himself as cared for up to the
end of his good and honorable life.
The shock fell with added weight be-
cause the wife had for some tune been
alllng. Seaford & Co. were stricken as
terribly as men could be for they. failed
through the dishonesty of others. They
were true men, both of them, men who
followed the Bible precepts, and suddenly
heaven had smitten them.
Israel came back from the store on that
sad morning, not utterly cast down. but
very heavy-hsarted. It had been his Gus
TOM for long time to 60 out at ak and
come back at seven for his brsakfast and
family worship. Here he was on tbs
threshold no longer his. The words o
the elder Seaford rang in his aars -
s'Israel, | wish we could have saved you
little home. 1t tries us very much tha
we cannot" He could answer nothing
for it was hard at sixty-nine to be home
less.
He could look into the pleasant tea
room, where Martha sat waiting for him
the little loaf on the table, the bright. ii
teapot, the snowy cloth, for whateve
passed through Martha's hands came fort
winter snd better, if that were possible
