written them In the different languages

When he was an old, white haired
man, he used to gather the little chill.

beautiful stories Of love and Kindness,
aud all the children loved him dearly.

smith was hard at work. The sound
of the anvil attracted the attention Of
the devil. lie saw ;nat the smith was
making horscshoes, aud thought 1t would
be u good idea to get his own hoofs
shod. So the devil struck Il bargain,
and put up his foot.
The blacksmith saw with whom he
WAS dealing and nailed a red.hOt shoe
on, driving the nails square into the
devils foot, The devil thon paid him,
and left; but he honest blacksmith
threw the money in the fire. lie knew
It would bring him bad luck.
Meanwhile the devil had walked some
distance, and began to suffer the great
est torture from the shoes. The more
no danced and kicked and swore the
more tho things hurt him, Finally, AZ.
ter ho had gone through the most fear
full agony, he tore them oil aud threw
them away.
From that time forward, whenever
he saw a horseshoe, he would run OF,
anxious only to get out Of the way.

story today, and n can scarcely hnd
