ToLERArioN.-When Abraham sat mt
his tent door, according To his custom,
waiting to entertain strangers, he espied
an old man, who was . hundred years Of
age, STOPPING and leaning on his stat.
weary with age and travel, coming toward
him. He received him kindly. washed his
feet, provided supper, and caused him to
set down; but observing that the old man
ate and prayed not, nor begged for u
blessing on his meat, Abraham asked him
why he did moi worship the God of heav.
en-. The old man told him that he wor-
shipped the fire only, and acknowledged
no ether God. At which answer Abrn-
ham grew so zealously angry that he
thrust tho old man out Of his tent, and OK.
posed him to MI the tolls ofthe night, and
an ungriartied condition. When the old
man was gone, God called to Abraham.
and asked him where the stranger was.
He replied. IL thrust him away because
he did not worship Thee" God answered
him, IL have suffered him these hundred
years. although he dishonored me ; and
couldst thou not endure him ono night,
when he gave thee no trouble?" Upon
this, saith the story, Abraham brought
him back again, and gave him hospitahle
entertainment and wise instruction. Go
thou and do likewise. and thy charity will
be rewarded by tho God Of Abraham.

ono would think his entire life had been
spent In the study and practice OF utter
ing fast and complicated CALCULATIONS,
not altogether polite. Truly, has the Cal
ifornia "mule-skinner" reduced swear
ing to science. y -.fs
But his weapons Of offence are not all
verbal. He Is armed with short heavy
whip, termed "black SNAKE" and rs the
artisan values his tool, or the sportsman
his gun. so does the teainster prize his
weapon. 1t Is oiled. rubbed and made
pliable, while wire Is added in weak places
to give It spring, or to strengthen 1t, or
to suit the peculiar fancy of its owner,
for no two teamstcrs are alike In their
opinion of n whip. Added to tho end OF
this instrument Is piece OF buckskin
about six inches long and half an inch
wide, and though 1t may look soft and
smooth, 1t will tear strips of flesh inches
in length. from the sides Of beast when
welded by the hands Of an irritated teani-
stcr. In the handle Is frequently placed
half pound or more of lead for human
purposes. for the "mule-skinner" Is bel
ligcrant in the fullest sense Of tho word.
Transfers are rather nm improvident set
of persons commanding large wages, and
using but little precaution for the future.
A teanister Is generally paid according to
the number of animals he drives. Dri-
vers of largo outfits receive from S75 TO
500 per month. and expenses paid. while
those of smaller ones get from $50 to
$57. Four horse driver arc paid this
year about $40. Along all extensive
teaming routes are ranches and watering
places, where he Is usually supposed to
take drink Mt the expense of the owner
of the "outft"
The largest teaming now carried on
this side of tho Rocky Mountains, and un-
doubtedly in the world, Is on the sunny
barren plains of our sister State, Nevada,
where from sixteen to twenty animals at
tached to IN immense wagon, with one
or two back actions, arc frequently to be
met. These "back action" wagons arc
smaller than the one in the lead. with
short tongues that lock under 1t, and
depressed front, capable of running quite
close to the first on an outline or turn.
In Nevada many of these outfits, under.
the control of one man, are worth from
seven to eight thousand dollars, and the
teamster in charge has to be party in
whom confidence and responsibility may
be placed. In that State from Sl25 up
to rs high Sl75 per month, and all ex-
pcnses, the latter frequently amounting
to three or four dollar per day, are paid to
drivers. The big teams are now chiefly
running from tho railroad to Austin. White
Pine and other mining localities In that
country. Here. in California, tcaming Is
somewhat on the decline, owing to tho
building of railroads, though large
country is still supplied by them. Marys-
vile was formerly an extensive depot for
the fitting out Of large teams, but the
railroad has about killed that branch Of
industry. and the big wagons stand rot
ting in her deserted corrals, perishable
monuments Of times that werc.-Atta

This also he recorded in his sermon,
having no doubt that the girl was under
the irresistible influence Of the Evil
Spirit.
The sermon thrilled, frightened and be-
wildercd the cOngregation-one Of the
largest In Boston. II was printed and
fillen the colonies with alarm. Ere long
II was reprinted In London. under the
sanction and editorship of no less person
than Richard Baxter, the celebrated au-
thor of Baxter's Saints Rest. He even
wrote preface to the preposterous mar
ratiye, in which he said that any one who,
after reading DIR. Mather's testimony,
could doubt that the child was bewitched.
must be "very obdurate Sadducce." So
credulous were even the most eminent
men only two centuries ago.
The poor old Irish woman, who was as
innocent as Cotton Mather himself, was
arrested and tried upon the charge Of be-
witching them. After trial, in which
human folly and credulity were exhibited
to degree painful even now to contem..
plate. she was pronounced guilty. and
sentenced TO death. She was hanged ac-
cordingly, and the judgment of tho CON-
munity evidently approved the sentence.
The people believed that she had sold
her soul to the devil; had entered into n
league and covenant with him: and had
co-oper,ted with him in tormenting the
elect and their offspring. What the devil
had paid her for tho possession Of her
poor. halfcrazed soul. does not appear,
for she was child of poverty, reared in
ignorance, devoted to arduous and dis's-
greeable labor, and she ended her unhap-
py existence on the gallows. How i'm
probable the alleged compact! But no
degree Of improbability was too much for
the crcdulity Of the period.-N y. Ledger.
