The Lucky Old Nan.

An emperor was once passing
through the streets Of Tiberias,
when he noticed q very old man
planting zig tree. why do you
plant trees ? asked the emperor.
IF thou hadst done such work in
thy youth, thou wouldst be gather
ing figs to-day, instead Of planting
trees. Thou canst not hope to eat
fruit Of this tree
I'm my youth | labored for my
own good answered the old man ;
sin my old age labor for the good
of others. In my youth ! gather
ed figs from trees that others had
planted I; other youths may eat of

Happy old man. said the EN-.
peror. IF thou dost live TO gather
figs from this tree, come and visit
me at my palace and ] will reward

Years passed. The old man lived
and the fig tree grew. At last the
tree filed with blossoms, then with
figs. The old man gathered bas.
ket Of young figs, and. taking his
staff, went to visit the emperor.
WELL asked the emperor, 'what
is thy desire?'
Il am the old man, whom, come
years ago, you found planting a zig
tree. Twas then one hundred years
old. You told me then, that il
lived to eat fruit from the tree, to
visit you, and, therefore, l am here.
/ have come to present to you q
basket Of figs.'
The emperor gave the basket to
one ofhis body-guards, and told him
to take out Of it the figs, and to re.
place every fig by gold coin. The
basket was returned to the old man.
He looked at it and was very
happy and joyfully returned to hii
friends.
why didst thou so honor the
old Jew p asked one Of the royal
household.
Because God has honored him.
God honors men first. the world
afterward.'
Now, there lived near the old
man an old woman who was very
envious and avaricious. When she

NO, figs
The old wife filed q large basket
with figs, saying, sThe more figs,
the more coins. Now 60, and you

the old man came to the palace.
'Who are you p demanded the
guard.
Il have brought q basket of figs

That he may replace them with

The guard told the emperor, who
answered, Take from him the figs

The guard did so accordingly
and the old man went home sor-
rowfully, and told his wife Of his

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: It is aston ish-
ing how the error of reporter sent thrill of
dissent over the Nationi Nothing that has
ever occurred has walked up SO many Chaplains
as that misquotation Reporting them as dead
caused them to speak out as they have never
done before.
Well, we had good Convention, and hope
things are so arranged that we may have the
largest representation at Buffalo that we have
ever had. We sent letter to the Encamp-
ment. which, / am glad to say, was received in
the same kind and fraternal spirit in which it
was sent, and will 60 on the records as coming
from living Chaplains.
According to our Rules the retiring Chap

llif will now receive the most cordial CO.
operation in his work during the year upon
which he has entered. He will lead the Chap
lains in their noble work if they will only fall
into line, which pray them to do at once.
The new Chaplain-in- Chief. Rev. NJ. B.
Taylor, of Massachusetts, is live man, and
proposes to make his office felt for good through
out the Nation. bespeak for him the earnest
cooperation of all Chapains, SO that he may
be able to carry out his plans. If Chaplains of
Departments will be prompt in reporting to
him, as is prescribed by the blanks got up
while ia the Office, he will be able to bring ont
the fullest and most satisfactory report ever
yet rendered.
Now let me appeal to all Chaplains, both Post
and Department, and ask will you not please
furnish each your part in this needful work !?
1t is easily done, if We only give il our atten-
tion. Before the year is ont some new work
will be proposed for execution at our next En-
campment which il is hoped will bring large
interest to our work. and cause it to appear
more before the public.
Chaplains are not all dead yet. nor do they
intend TO die in efficiency, as long as God lets
them live bodily. How they would have en-
joyed being in our late meeting in st. Paul !!
Hope many more of them may be at Buffalo,
with greatly increased zeal for heroic work.
Let this matter be brought before each Depart

met prior to going to Buffalo. If knew when
