Shopping for a Testament

"Say, Mister, will you swop a
Testament for some sugar. said a
little lad to a missionary of the
Sunday School Union. II amt got
no money, but here's some cakes of
maple sugar. It's all I've got to
give. They are mighty nice. Will
you swop, sir2 Mother wants the
book, and I'd like awful well to get
it for her."
The swop was made, and turned
to 80 good an account, by the inter
est which the story excited, that 200
little ones in those backwoods were
each made richer by the possession
of a copy of that same book. Even
a boys two cakes of maple sugar
are not be despised.

And the high priest, said, "You
forget; 1 have the collecting of
tithes, and the disbursement for
sacrifice"
AT length the thief exclaimed.
"Your majesty, l think it better for
society that all five of us should be
hanged, since it appears that Lot an
honest man be found among u.s."
In spite of the lamentable expos
ure, the king laughed; and so pleas
ed was h. with the thief's cunning
expedient, that he granted him a
pardon.

A Story for the Times.

There is story among the Hin
docs that thief having been detect
ed and condemned to die, happily hi
upon an expedient which gave hin
hope of life. He sent for his iailel
and told him he had a secret O
great Importance, which he desired
to impart to the king and when thai
had been done he would be prepared
to die. Upon receiving this piece OF
intelligence, the king at once order
ed the culprit to be conducted to
his presence, and demanded of him
. to know the secret. The thief re-
piled that he knew the secret OF
causing trees to grow, which would
bear fruit of pure gold. The ex.
pertinent might be easily tried, and
his majesty would not lose the op-
portunity, so, accompanied by his
prime minister, his couriers and his
chief priest, he went with the thief
to a place selected near the city wall,
where the latter performed series
of solemn incantations. This done,
the condemned man produced a
piece of gold, and declared that if
it should be planted, it would pro-
duce tree every branch of which
would bear gold.
"But," he added, "this gold must
be put into the ground by hand
that has never been stained by q
dishonest act. My hand is not
clean, therefore l pass it to your
majesty" ''-i % F = " 3
The king took the piece of gold,
but hesitated. Finally, he said, 81
remember in my younger days that
/ often filched money from nv fa-
theirs treasury, which was not mine.
Ihave repented of the sin, but vet
1 hardly dare say my hand is clean.
I pass it, therefore, to my primo
minister" ss. tf..t-ttt
The latter, after a brief consider
alton answered: at were a pity to
break the charm by possible blum
der. l receive taxes from the peo
pie, and as l am exposed to many
temptations, how can I be sure that
l have remained perfectly honest2
l must give it to the governor of
our citadel"
"No, no. cried the Governor,
drawing back. Remember that l
have the serving out of pay, and
to the soldiers. Let the
high priest plant it." !

Get a tub nearly full of rain OF
river water, and put two pieces of
thin wood across it, and set the beef
on them, distant about an inch from
the water. Heap as much salt as
will stand on your beef, and let it
remain twenty-four hours; then
take the meat off and boil it, and
you will find it as salt as if it had
been picked for six weeks, the wa
ter having drawn the salt completely
through the beef.

The Stray Mule.

At a meeting in a frontier West
ern settlement several present were
stoutly opposed to the organization
of Sunday-school. Not being able
to agree, the meeting was breaking
up, when the chairman said he had
a very important notice to read to
them. Quiet was soon restored to
hear this rather novel religious
notice."
"Strayed-A large black mule.
He had on a halter when he left, and
is branded on the left hip with the
letter S. Any one returning said
mule will be literally rewarded"
The keen day-School Union
missionary quickly announced that
he also had a very important notice
to give out.
"Strayed number of boys
from their homes, near this place,
this Sunday morning. They had
guns and fishing poles on their
shoulders when they left. They are
branded, by holy God, as Sabbath
breakers. Any one returning said
boys, and placing them in a Sunday
school, will be literally rewarded at
the day of judgment" i
The tact of that missionary car
ried the vote in favor of a Sunday
school, and those stray boys were
duly returned" to it.

I'm too Busy"

A merchant sat at his Office desk.
Various letters were spread before
him. His whole being was absorbed
in the intricacies of his business.
A Jealous friend of religion en-
tered the office. -. q, -
81 want to interest you a little in
a new effort for the cause of Christ
said the good man.
"Sir, you must excuse me-" re-
piled the merchant, "I'm too busy
to attend to that subject now"
"But, sir, iniquity is on the in
crease among u.s. said his friend.
lis it? Pm sorry; but Pm too
busy at present to do anything
When shall l call again, sir?"
al can't tell. I'm eery busy. I'm
busy every day. Excuse me, sir, l
wish you a good morning"
Then, bowling the intruder out of
the office, he resumed the study of
his papers.
The merchant had frequently re-
pulsed the friends of humanity in
this manner. No matter what the
object, he was always too busy to
listen to their claims. He had even
told his minister that he was too
busy for anything but to make mon
ey.
But one morning, a disagreeable
stranger stepped very softly to his
side, laying cold moist, hand upon
his brow and saying: p
$50 home with mer'
The merchant laid down his pen;
his head grew dizzy; his stomach
felt faint and sick; he left the count
ing-room, went home and retired to
his bed-chamber.
His unwelcome visitor had follow
ed him, and now took his place by
the bedside, whispering, ever and
anon:
You must 90 with me-"
A cold chill settled on the mer-
chants heart; spectres of ships,
notes, houses, and lands fitted be-
fore his excited mind. Still his
pulse beat slowly, his heart heaved
heavily, thick films gathered over
his eyes, his tongue refused to speak.
Then the merchant knew that the
name of his visitor was Death!
ALI other claimants on his atten-
ton, except the friends of Mammon,
had always found quick dismissal
In the magic phrase: "Pm too busy"
Humanity, mercy, and religion had
alike begged his influence, means,
and attention, in vain; but when
death came the excuse was power
less; he was compelled t, have leis-
ure to die.
Let us beware how we make our
selves too busy to secure life's great
end. When the excuse rises to our
lips, and we are about to say we are
too busy to do good, let US remem-
ber we cannot be too busy to die

Apples for Human Food.

With US the value of the apple
as an article of food is far under.
rated. Besides containing a large
amount of sugar, mucilage, and 9th
er nutritive matter, apples contain
Vegetable acids, aromatic qualities.
etc., which act powerfully in the ca
pacity of refrigerants, tonics, and
antiseptics: and freely used at the
season of mellow ripeness, they pre-
vent debility, indigestion, and avert,
without doubt, many of the ellis
which flesh is heir to- The opera
tives of Cornwall, England, consid-
er ripe apples nearly as nourishing
as bread, and far more so than po-
tatoes. In the year 1901, which
was year of much scarcity apples,
instead of being converted into ci-
der, were sold to the poor, and the
laborers asserted that they could
"stand their work on baked apples
without meat; whereas potato diet
requires meat or other substantial
nutriment." The French and Ger
mans use apples extensively, as do
the inhabitants of European nations.
The laborers depended upon them
as an article of food, and frequently
make dinner of sliced apples and
bread. There is no fruit cooked in
so many different ways in our coun-
try as apples; nor is there any fruit
whose value, as an article of nutri-
ment. is as great, and so little ap-
preciated-Wdter Cure Journal.
