Gods Deer.

A correspondent ofZion's Herald tells
the following story, as told to him by a N
early settler in Northern New York:
When our settlement commenced, we
had to live mostly by fishing and hunt
ing. Our guns we usually kept loaded
and ready for use. On Sunday morning,
opening my door, there was deer near
by, and stepping back, took down my
gun.
Before l got to the door, something
whispered, "It is the Sabbath" but this
was followed by at is Godsend." |
paused, and inwardly said, ono. He
would send on week day." and hung
my gun. At the evening prayer we
thanked God that He enabled us to en-
dure the test Notice, on Monday morn
ing, when / opened my door, there stood
a fine deer. used my gun and killed the
deer, and added Gods deer is far larg-
er, better, than the Devil sent" Breth-
ren, let us trust the Lord.

SUNDAY READING.
The Apple in the Bottle.

On the mantlepiece of my grandmother's
best parlor, among other marvels, was an
apple in phial. 1t quite filed up the
body of the bottle, and my childish won
derment constantly was, How could it
have got there 2" BY stealth 1 climbed
a chair to see if the bottom would un-
screw, or if there had been joint in the
glass throughout the length of the phial.
i was satisfied by careful, observation
that neither of these theories could be
supported, and the apple remained to me
an enigma and mystery. One day walk
ing in the garden, | saw it all. There on
a tree, was phial tied, and within it a
tiny apple which was growing within
the crystal. The apple was put into the
bottle while it was little, and it grew
there. Just so we must catch the little
men and women who swarm our streets
we call them boys and girls-and introduce
them within the influence of the church
for alas it is hard indeed to reach them
when they have ripened into carelessness
and sin. Sod f

1t was not until the Major, with his
usual obstinacy, had sworn that unless he
won her he should never have her, that
the young man was forced reluctantly to
consent to play.
The table was placed, candles lit, the
cards produced, and the players took
their places, with Fanny between them
watching the game The cards were
regularly cut, and it fell to the Majors
lot to deal. The first hand was played,
and Bob made jack to his opponents high
low, game. Bob dealt, the Major again
made three to his opponents one.
"Six to two" said Miss Fanny, with
a sigh. .7rr
The Major, as he dealt the cards, wink
ed knowingly and said.
"Tm good for the wheat, Master Bob"
The old man turned up a trump.
1t was a spade. Fanny glanced at her
fathers hand-her heart sank; he held
the trey, eight spot and king. She then
looked at Roberts hand, and 10, he had
the ace, queen, deuce, and jack or knave.
She whispered to beg-he did so.
"Take it said the Major"
Robert led the deuce, which the old
man took with the trey he then followed
by playing the king, Bob putting his
queen upon it, the Major supposing it
to be the young mans trump, leaned
over the table, and tapping on the last
trick with his finger, said:
" That's as good as wheat" .....
Is it 7" said Bob, as he displayed to
the astonished Major the ace and jack in
his hands.
High, low, jack, gift, and game, y
cried Bob.
"Out" calculated Fanny.
" Good as wheat !" added Bob, as he
flung his arms around her neck and kissed
her.
In due time they were married. Ever
after that, when anything occurred of {
pleasant nature to the happy couple, they
would express their emphatic appreciation
of it by the phrase" Good as wheat"

"Sir?" answered the indignant clergy
man, "What do you mean, sir Not
good You are crazy, sir 1t is good
as gold, sir am the Reverend Doctor
Melville, a Roman Catholic priest, sir.
Send to the Reverend Father Hecker of
the @aulist Church in Fifty-ninth street,
and he will tell you who am, sir"
"That's too far to CO." quietly respond
cd the clerk. q l can't take the check
unless / know it to be good"
well, then, sir, send it round to the
bank. twill take only few minutes,
sir Here, young man, go to the bank
with this, and see whether it is good or
not" ..rr Id.
One of the clerks accordingly depart
ed on his mission to the bank, while the
other remained to watch DR.. Melville,
who all the time retained possession of
the box containing the time pieces. ..
The Reverend gentleman's indignation
at the clerks imputation upon his homes
ty was something extreme. He fretted
and fumed, and unable to contain him
self in his seat any longer, arose to his
feet, and began pacing the parlor, NUT
tering to himself all the time. Happen
ing to pass by the door once, and finding
it in his way, he impatiently slammed it
too. The frescoing of one corner of the
ceiling in the back parlor had been dam
aged by an overflow of water in the up
per part of the building. Casting his
eyes in that direction, he suddenly stop
ped. why, what's this ?" he exclaim-
ed. "The frescoing ruined? Mary !"
He stepped up to the silver bell on the
centre table, rang it energetically. Mary
appeared. Mary, what's the matter
with the ceiling? It's ruined complete
ly," he said. Mary unsuspectingly an
swered that the water had come through.
The water ? And you never told me of
it before This must be fixed at once.
You can 60" And poor Mary, bewil-
dered, quit the room.
The clerk felt sorry that he had sus-
pected the Reverend Doctor he now be-
lieved him to be the owner of the house
and became fully convinced that the
check would turn out all right.
DIR. Melville next took look at the
piano. He thummed upon its keys.
"They've even let the piano get out Of
tune," he said. "These things must be
attended to Immediately. No time like
the present, sir. I'll just call my man
and get him to work at them at once
Charles !" he shouted. No answer. He
advanced to back parlor door and pulled
it open. Charles p he called again. Still
no answer. Charles" he fairly yelled
stepping out quickly into the hallway al
the same time. He waited not for an
swer now, but with heightened strides he
made for that front door on tiptoe, seizet
his hat, and walked rapidly up Fourteenth
street, with the box containing the watch
es still in his hand. The astounded mait
servant saw him go. She rushed int
the parlor, and informed the clerk =

A Game of Cards for a Wife.

TN the State of Illinois there is certain
4 village boasting of tavern, three
stores and four groceries, where from
morning till night and from night till
dawn, person may find in the tavern,
stores, and groceries aforesaid ono or more
groups of persons playing cards--gamb-
ling there is reduced to science-and
from the schoolboy to the veteran--from
the Miss in her teens to the mother of a
large family-they are all initiated
into the mysteries of high, low, jack,
game, right and left bowers, the honors
and all tricks. One of the best players
in the village was Maj. Smith, the tavern
keeper, or as he expressed it, the propri-
etor of the hotel-a widower, who like
--Jethro, Judge of Israel,
Had daughter, passing fair.
Fanny, the daughter, was one Of the
prettiest girls in the village.-The sweet
heart of Fanny was young farmer re-
siding in the neighborhood, whom we
shall designate by the name Of Bob
1t happened that one day before har-
vest, the young man was detained in the
village, and night found him as usual at
the hotel, seated between the Major and
his daughter After a desultory conyer-
sation between the two gentlemen on the
state of the weather, the prospects of the
approaching harvest, the important sta
pies of conversation, the Major asked Bob
how his wheat crop promised to yield. In
reply he was told that the young
farmer expected to have at least 800
bushels.
The Major appeared to study for a
moment, and then abruptly proposed a
game of sold sledge," or "seven up"
the stake to be his daughter Fanny
against the crop of wheat.
This, of course, the young man indig-
nantly refused, because he could not bear
the idea that the hand of her he loved
should be made bet, or that he should
win wife by gambling for her, and per.
haps, because he knew how hard the old
man was to beat, and there was strong
probability of losing both wheat and
wife.
