THE THREE BOOKS,

An aged servant of God, who lived in a
poor and lonely cottage, always showed such
wisdom and sense when any one asked for his
advice about anything. that the people round
about thought he must be very learned man.
A very great scholar who went one day to
see him, and was astonished at the wise words
he heard from his lips, said: =
"How is it, my good friend, that don't see
library or any collection of books at all in
your coteage2 I don't even see the smallest
bookshelf. And yet you have been able to
teach me, who am thought to be so learned
myself much I never knew before"
"Sir," replied the old man, 81 have, it is
true, but very small collection Of books-in
fact, have only three, but they are the three
best man can have. They are the wonder
ful works of God, which can always look at,
and which show me how great and good He
is, the sun, the moon, the stars, the earth, the
trees the law of God written in my own con-
SCIENCE telling me what ought to do and
what | ought not to do; and most of all, the
word of God-the Bible. The works of God
are spread out all around me in earth and
sky they are as great book always open.
Conscience is a never silent teacher, unless we
stop its voice ourselves by refusing to listen
to it,
"But these books would fall short of teach
ing us the truest wisdom if we had not the
blessed word of God to make that known to
us, which we can know in no other way. For
in the Bible we read how God made the heav-
els and the earth, and all these glorious things
we see around u.s. He teaches US there also
how man sinned, and how the Lord Jesus
Cnrist redeemed us with His blood. In that
book we read what that blessed Saviour did
and suffered for u.s. and what He commanded
and promised to all who seek Him: Con-
science can, indeed, show US our sins, but it 10
Gods word alone which teaches US how they
can be forgiven, and how we can be saved
from them.
"Thus, without library or human teacher,
the three books of Conscience, Gods Works,
and Gods Word, will make man truly wise" ."
From the German.

Poor H1TcH1NG PLAcE.-A little boy,
eleven years of age, in Iowa, few days since,
led horse to water, and tied the halter strap
to his arm. The horse took fright, ran
away, and dragged, and kicked the little fel-
low until he died. 1t is never safe to place
ones self in position where, if even a very
improbable accident occur, serious results are
almost certain. Do not tie yourself to a
horse or COW do not stand in front Of a
reaper or mower; do not leave the traces
until the last in taking horses from the wag-
on; do not trust too much to the quiet dlspo-
sition of an OK.

p@ Mr.. M. Spell, living at Nashville, has
for several months had, at times, attacks of
hemorrhage of the lungs, and has been for
weeks confined to his bed, and was evidently
confirmed consumptive The common mul-
len being recommended to him, he gathered
the leaves green, and to one gallon Of water
he added two pounds of the leaves; boiled
four hours, strained and added one pint of
honey. Of this mixture he takes one table
spoonful three times day, one hour before
eating. Under this treatment the hemorrhage
has ceased, and he is getting hearty-feels
like new man, and is now able to perform
manual labor.
