This story is told of a prominent
preacher : On a hot Kabbuth as he was
preaching he took from his p(x;ket what
he thought was his handkerchief, shook
it out and wipl his face, intently talk
ing all the time. To his surnriHe a broad
smile was on every face in his audience,
when he discovered that what he had
put in his pocket for a handkerchief
that morning was a pair of his little
child's drawers, the legs of which were
quite visiblo as be wiped tho perspira
tion from his face. Homiletic Review.
The skins of animals were the earliest
forms of money. Sheep and oxen among
the old Romans took the place of money.

Ho was a local preacher and staiieh ad

"On entering the bar ho was greatly
urprised to see stretched out ou the
wooden benches the guests of the din
ner tabid and traveling companions of
the eurly evening. However, ha tmu
bled very littlo alMiut tho matter, a ho
thought that they bad been overtakua
by night and turned back. On return
lug to the Lcdnxim bo fouud my uncle
dozing, aud so uiado no mention of the
uncanny pair in tlm barroom, and in a
few minutes fell asleop also.
"After ahort sleep undo awokit aud
almoat started out of bed, having had a
most vivid and frightful dream, in
which he saw one ol thoso men advanc
ing toward him with a dark lantern
turned upon his faoa and a drawn knife
in his band. Put, finding tlia room per
fectly quiet, uncle persuaded biniaolf
tliut bii dream wis the result of some
(light apprehension he bad bad concern
ing the two men, aud ao fell asleep
again, but only to have tho horrible vi
sion repeated.
"He began to feel that the dream, so
vivid and pnrsisteut, might have the
nature of a preaeutiment, so put his
bund under the pillow to mi that bis
pistols which be carried were anfu.
Put at everything continued perfectly
till he allowed himself to full into a
light duzo, which waa again Interrupt
od by the same dream, like a midnight
specter.
"Now thoroughly alarmed and fool
ing that his dream was sent as a warn
ing, ho roused tho old gentleman by bis
side and told him of it Mr. II. then
told him of tho men iu the burroom
This increasing their appruhenslon, tho
(women decided to watch by turns, Mr.
II. taking thu first watch. Not flvo min
utes hud elupsed beforo a footstep Just
outsidu their door caught tho ear of
both men.
"In a moment the door opened very
oftly, and a man stealthily entered and
crept towurd tho bed, while thu two in
the bed prepared for immediuto defense
wbuu the villain hud comedos enough
to be seen distinctly, kept perfectly
quiet When within about two yards of
the bed, the Intending assassin, by tho
manipulation of his lantern, which un
til this time hud remained perfectly
dark, throw a clear light over the sup
posed slcept rs and revealed to them the
reality of the vision tho same mini,
knife and luuteru, with bis murderous
intention hideously written on his fixed
countenance.
"One glanco at his intended victims
and his expression changed to innnzo
mout and feur and be stood liko one
paralyzed as ho mot my nude's steady
and white luce, who, with pistol pre
sented, waited but another inovo on the
part of the villain to kill him on thu
spot. Put tho iiihu didn't move. All
was perfectly still, except for a smoth
ered prayer from the old gentleman.
Uncle was the first to speak, demand
ing what ho wanted. No reply was
given. Uncle then, threateningly ad
vancing his pieco, ordered him to leave
the room at once on pain of dcuth. In
obedience to this the robber, without
turning his face or changing bis atti
tude in any way, backed as steadily
from the room as he hud entered it and
was seen no more."
