JOHN AND TIE POST4GP-STAMP

John was boy who "lived out. ~"
Every weol1 he wrote home to his
mother, lived on a small, rocky
farm among tho hills. Ono day
John picked up an old envelope
from the wood-box, and saw that
the postage-stamp on it WAS not
touched by tho postmaster's stamp
to show that it had done duty and
WAS henceforth useless. 'The post
master missed his aim, then" said
John, ''and left the stamp as good
as now. Ill use it myself"
He moistened it at the nose Of
the tea-kettle, and carefully pulled
the stamp off.
"No," said conscience, "for that
would be cheating. The stamp has
been on the letter it ought not to
carry another"
"It can carry another" said John,
"because. you see. there is no mark
to prove it worthless. The post-
Office will not know"
'But you know" said conscience,
"and that is enough. It is not
honest to use it second time. It
is a little matter, to be sure; but it
is cheating. God looks for princi.
pie. It is the quality of every action
which He judges"
"But no one will know it," said
John. family.
"No one n cried conscience
"God will know it--that is enough
and He, you know, desires truth ir
the saa,1ard parts.'
"Yes," cried the best part oi
Johns character. ''yess it Is cheat
ing to use the postage stamp the
second time, and I will not do it"
