Needed an Inspiration

A merchsn1 had clerical friend, between
whom and hlmsif there existed warm IL
timaoy. Every Saturday night, as the mer-
chsut was balancing his cash, there would
come note from the minister requesting
the loan of q fye-dolar bill. The money
was slwsys restored punctusIly on Monday
morning. But what puzzled the lender was
that the identical bill was always returned.
Que Saturday night be sent s.S5 gold piece
instead of the usual bill, aud marked 1t.
still the very same coin was returned on
Monday The merchant became nervous
ABOUT this strange fact. He was becoming
conaumed with curosits, when q note came
from the reverend borrower on Christmas
Eve, asking for loan of SO Ha re-

When be was shown toto his frieod's study

"Mr. Bowerso8," said the merchant, "if
you will answer me cne question, l will let
you have that $40 How does it happen
that you always pay me the money that you
borrow on Saturday night in the very same
coin or note on MoDday?'
The parson raised hs head, ard sfIer
struggle said:
my friend, you are gentemeUp Christ

rely on your inviolable secrecy. You know
that am poor, and when on Saturday night
1 have bought my Sunday dinner, seldom

entire flower. AS the moon begins to wane again
this retreats in the same ratio, and finally dlsap-

moon is seen to come bsck.
When the moon sets tho flower closes and does
not unfold until the moon rises on the following
night 1t pursues this course month after month
