Vengeance Upon a Mule.

Old Sllas was revengeful man. Now,
Silas owned a mule, and one day the
mule raised his hind legs and smote
Sllas, whereupon the old man sat upon
the barn floor and wept. Suddenly he
smiled, and Selling grain sack he filed
1t with sand and rocks, and tied leather
apron around it. Then he hung it down
from the beam right behind the mule.
A shudder passed over the animal, but
he nerved himself and let fly. He sent
the bag to the roof, but the recoil struck
him with surprise, not only once but
two or three times. The mule was as
tonished, shocked ! He wasn't used to
being kicked back. Old Silas laughed
until tears ran down his cheeks. The
mule kicked again and the bag kicked
back. They kept up the contest all day
and towards evining the mule showed
signs of weakening, but old Silas was
not satisfied yet, He went to bed, and
during the night he heard the mule
braying for mercy, but his heart was
hardened, When he went to the stable
in the morning the sand bag was as
fresh as ever, but the mule had laid
down in despair and was dead-died of q
broken heart.

In my purse which I wac conveying for
another person, but l gave it very little
thought, neither was greatly moved by
fear. One feeling alone was borne in
upon my mind-that of great pity for
the poor wretch who took SO base a way
to obtain that which he might so easily
have earned by honest labor. / also felt
moving of the spirit to bear testimony
against his great wickedness. But while
L was In this frame of mind [ thought T

the robber without, as if telling him that
he had overlooked me. Still [ main
tanned my composure, and looked intent
ly, and no doubt with great compassion,
at this poor, misguided being. Sudden
ly his eyes met mine, and without speak
ing roughly to me or demanding my
money (Which l would not have given
him except under great comprlsion, I
may say violence), strange to say his
countenance fell, and he turned away
from me, babe the driver whip the horses.
and himself disappeared in the woods.
1t has always been matter of regret to
me that | did not speak plainly to him
OF his sin and folly, but perchance he
read 1t all IN my countenance.
AS we pursued our way, there was
Of course much talk among the passen-
gers of what had happened, in which
this youth, of whom | have spoken, took
great part. He kept asserting that if he
had only had pistol he would have
killed the robber on the spot, and he APP
pealed to me several times to know if
did not think that the deed would have
been justifiable. At first kept silence,
but as he pressed the question / finally
said
"EDoes thee think he was prepared TO
stand before his judge?'
''He made no answer, and | now felt
it to be my turn to insist; SO [ repeated

Solomon and the RIacksmitb

The story goes that during the build
ing OF Solomon's temple that wise ruler
decided to treat the artisans errployed
on his famous edifce to a banquet.
While the men were ENJOYING the good
things his bounty had provided. King
Solomon moved about from table to
table, endeavoring to become better ac-
quainted with his workingmen. To one
he said:
My friend, what is your trade ?''
GA carpenter.
And who makes your tools ?"
The blacksmith" replied the car
ter. To another Solomon said:
What is your trade 2" and the re-
ply was;
ga mason"
And who makes your tools?"
THE blacksmith, replied the mason.
A third stated that he was a stonecut-
ter and the blacksmith also made his
tools.
The fourth man that King Solomon
addressed was the blacksmith himself.
He was a powerful man, with bare arms,
on which the muscles stood out in bold
relief, seemingly almost as hard as the
metal he worked
"And what is your trade, my good
man % said the king.
Blacksmith, P" laconically replied the
man OF the anvil and sledge.
And who makes your tools 2"
MAKE them myself" replied the
blacksmith.
Whereupon King Solomon immed-
lately proclaimed him king of the
mechanics, because he could not only
make his own tools, but all other
artisans were forced to go to him
have their tools made.
