About 3 O'Clock IN the evening a small

Tie Good Old Bible.

A Virsinia banker who was the
chairman of an infldel club, was
once travelling through Kentucky
having with him bank bills 10 the
amount of $26, 900, when he came
I to a lonely forest, where robberieS
and murders were said to be fire.
quent. He was soon lost, through
riding the wrong road. The dark
ness of the night came quickly over
him, and how to escape from the
threatening danger he knew not.
In his alarm he espied at distance
dim light and urging his horse on
ward he at length came to wretch.
Ell looking cabin. He knocked;
the door was opened by woman
who said her husband WAS out
hunting, but would soon return,
and she was sure he would cheer
fully give him shelter for the night.
The gentleman put up his horse and
entered the cabin, but with feelings
that can better be imagined than
described. Here he was, with
large sum OF money, perhaps in the
house OF u robber whose name was
terror to the country.
In Il short time the man of the
house returned. He had on deer
skin shirt, a bear-skin cap, and
seemed much fatigued and in no
talking mood. All this boded the
infdel no good. He felt for his pis-
tols in his pockets, and placed them
so az TO be ready for instant use.
The man asked the traveller to re-
tire to bed, but he determined to
sell his life as dearly as he could.
His fears grew into perfect agony.
What was to be done?
At length the backwoodsman
arose, and reaching to a wooden
shelf, took down an old book, and
said:
"Well, stranger, If you won't go
to bed, ! will, but it Is always my
custom to read a chapter in the
Holy Scriptures before go to bed"
What a change did these words
produce! Alarm was removed from
this skeptic's mind. Though avow-
Ing himself an infldel, he had more
confidence in the Bible. He felt
safe. He felt that a man who kept
3 Bible in the house, and bent his
knees in prayer, was no murderer
or robber. lie listened to the good
mau, and slept as calmly in that
cabin as he did under his fathers
roof. From that night he ceased to
reviIe that good old Bible. He be-
came sincere Christian, and often
related the story of his eventful
journey to prove the folly of infidel-
itV
