The oor old man requested peruiu!io:t
to enter and rest awhile, saying he was
very tired with his long journey, for he
had walked . many mils that day.
Airs, llishop cordially invited In in in,

The old gentleman watched her at

movements, and pity for h-r bean to
steal in her heart. When her husband
euteied, her feature relaxed into a
smile, and hhe fore.nl a elieerfulnr-ss
into her manner. Tne traveler noted
it all, and was forcel to admire litis
woman who could asaunid a cheerful

there was nothing on it hut btead and

lie accepted their hospitality, and.
as they discussed the frugal uieiit, h-d
them, without seeming to do so, to talk
of their affairs.
I bought this piece of land," mid
Mr. Kishop, "at a very low pri.-e, rind !
instead of waiting, as I ought t ! n
done, until I saved money enoui;ii t
build, I thought I would lorrow a few
hundred dollars. The iuterest on the
money would not be near as much as
the rent I was paying, and I would le
savin" something by it. I did not
think there would be any dilliciilty in

year my wife ami one of soy children

out means to pay the debt. Mr. Mer

would pay tho interest, which I did.
This year I was for seven months un
able to work at my tradn and earn any
thing, and, of course, when i.ay-day
comes round and that will bo very
soon I shall be unable to meet the de

But," said the stranger, "will not
Mr. Merton wait another year if you
make known tho circumstances to
him."
No, sir,"fHaid Mr. liuhop, "I saw
him this morning, and he said he must
havo the money, and should be obliged
to foreclose.
"He must be very hard hearted," re
marked the traveler.
"Not necessarily so," replied Mr.
Bishop. "The fact is, these rich men
know nothing of the struggles of the
poor. Thev are tni. pist like the rest
of iiisnkiud, and i mil sure had they
but the faintest iJea of whitt the poor
have to pass through, their hearts and
purses would open. It has passed
into a proverb "When : a poor man
needs assistance, he should apply to
the poor." Tho reason is obvious.
Only the poor know the cuisa of pov
erty. They know bow heavily it falls,
crushing the heart of man, and (to use
my favorite expression) they can at
once put themselves in the unfortunate
one's place and appreciate his difficul
ties, and an therefore always ready to
render assistance, as far as they are
able. If Mr. Merton had the lea?t
idea what I and my family had to pass
through, ! think he would be willing
to wait several years for hi money
rather than distress us."
With what emotion the' stranger lis
tened may bo imagined. A neV world
was Deinij opened to iiiin. lie was
passing through an experience that had
never been his before. Shortly after
the conclusion of tho meal he arose to
take his leave, thanking Mr. and Mrs,
Bishop for their kind hospitality,
They invited him to stay all night, tell
ing him be was welcome to what they
had."
He thanked them, and said, "I will
tresspass on your kindness no longer.

On the morniug of the JHb, just be
foro the commencement of tho lighting,
as General Jackson was surveying the
line of battle, a wealthy Fietich mer
chant of New Oi leans drove up to tho
Una and requested an interview with
the General. On reaching his presence
Jackson demanded of thu Frenchman
the object of his visit.
"I come," said he, "to demand of
you to return to tho city all of my cot
ton which you have taken to make
breastworks."
"Ah," said Old Hickory, "can you
oint out the particular bales that are
your projierty !"
"Out, Monsieur, certatnement, zat is
my cotton, ' pointing to many balci ia
the vicinity.
Well," said Old Hickory, "if that is
yonr property you havo como just in
time to protoct and defend it, and
calling to a corporal he ordered him to
bring a spare musket, and, giving it to
tho Frenchman, he told him to stand
and defend his property. At the same
timo he gave the corporal an order to
shoot tho fellow if he attempted to run.
I here is no doubt but that the French
man was glad that his cotton was there
to screen him from Biitish bullets.

The following law and lawcase, Taken
from the records of the Now Haven
Colony in 1609, are strange reading in
these times. The statute says: "Who
soever shall inveigle or draw the affec
tions of any inside or inaide-servant,
either to himself or others, without
first gaining the consent of her parents,
shall pay to the plantation for the lirst
od'onse, 40s ; tho second. 1 ; for the
third he shall be imprisoned or'uorpore-
ously punished." Under this law, at n
court held in May, 1CG9, Jacobeth
Miirline and barah Tuttle wore prose
cuted for "setting down on a chostle
together, his arm around her waiste,
and her anno upon his . shoulder or
about his neck, and continuing in this
sinful posture about half an hour, in
which tyme he kys.iud her uud she
kyssod him, or they kys3ed one another,
as yo witnesses testified. "
The best and about the only way to
got even with a treacherous mule and
who ever saw any other is to take his
shoe3 off, lead him on to 'smooth iceand
then blackguard him. He dare not in
dulge his natxiral propensity, aud the
vexation of spirit exhibited in his in
telligent cjuiitenunee is really interest
i iug.

The select eoniinilteeof Anglican iftel
Ameriemi persons who have been foe
many mouth engaged in revising, tiller
ing nnd coirecling tho Bible so as to
produce n book that will suit tho pecul
iar ( .hrisliniiity of the Tiiueieciith cen
tury, had ii stormy. snsf,ion recently in
1jndon, over a very simple text of
scripture upon which neither tho Ang
lican nor tho American "divines" could
agree. Tint text iti ipicnlion is to bo
found Itllilded to 'ill all tho gospels of
the l'vnuuelists, oceurrino three timet
in tho -XXVllh ehiiptcr of St. Matthew,
uud alludes to tho denial of our Lord by
St. Peter.
"And iiiiiiiuilintcly tho 'cock crew."
Tho Anglican "divines" desired to
leave the text its they found it, but tho
American parsons wei determined to
substitute the word "rooster" to desij;
Iiutitho mule thicken, ho us to have thu
tet rend:
"A;nl immediately t),a rvonFrr crew."
But ns the Anglican parsons never
saw thu word "rooster" in either John
ston or Walker's Hictionaries of the
Kn'ihh hingtiae, they juht scouted the
idea of using such it Vaukeeism in the
sacred volume, hence the convent ion
camn near brenkin up in a serious ilia
turbanee. At length some of ihe morn
coiiKi-rvulivo parsons propoited that the
matter Im laid belore the most promi
nent citizens, preachers mid historians
of America, so as to get their tiews ii;h
on the correct rendering of the text,
and circulars were sent to a large num
ber of prominent men, many of wii'.m
responded, but wo h ive room for only a
few ssmples of the opinions given.
Henry Ward Boccher thought that
the text alluded t his troubles ith
Tiltoit nil 1 Kiiiuhoth, and that it should
read
"And iiiiincilUuly Ti'.'wi crew.".
But the committee haw ut n glance that
h Mas heilisii in the matter, they
thtew his advice tinder the table.
1 no next letter opened was from Bob
lilgersoll, who said he ili.ln'l believe in
scriptures, anyhow, but for the sake of
making M-ai:o atnoii the parsons he
would give them his opinion, which
was that the text should 1h made to
read
"And immediately tiie American Katc
screatooj."
This suited tho truliiw Atlantic pur

drinks used by the Jerusalemiies in
their carousal and, known ns "cock

read
"And imtncdiaUly tlia cock-tails f.ew. '
This puzzled some of the Anglican
parsons, but Dean Stanley tdd them
that he had just returned from Ameri
ca where "cock-tails" were the fashion
able beverage, uud that Gen. Grant was
a good judge of "slings" although not
un expert in scripture. "He is a man,"
said the Deau, "that although not elo
quent of etch, yet he can drink in
every lingo in the world, from Chinook
to Chinese. So, out of respect for the
llcan, Genera! Orant'a proposition was
laid by f.ir future reference by tho com
mittee. The next letter opened was from Su
san B. Anthony, who said she could
clearly remember tho occasion referred
to by St. Matthew, as she was quite a
young lady at tho time, and sho remem
bered having a conversation with the
Jewish historian Joseph us on this very
text. Joseph us ns ill red her that thcie
was no poultry whatever in Jerusalem
until the year 201 of the Christian era,
hence it must have been some horrible
man who cackled on the occasion, or
else a mere "ilotnish" invention. So sho
favored the omission of all texts having
reference to the subject, and advised
the parsons' to inject something strong
on women's rights in place of such ob
solete and uuhistorical fables.
This letter met with great uproar as
the Alglican parsons would not listen
to advice from such an antiquated f j
malo, whilst the gallantry of the Amer
ican preachers compelled them to up
hold tlss character of tho oldest woman
in the world, and one who had helped
them in t heir pulpits in times long past.
Finally, however, her letter was placed
on file for future reference.
Tho next letter was scarcely legible,
but after it long delay it was deciphered

a great admirer of the scriptures, hav

Perces language in 177C, a few years
after he discovered the Jesuits and the
Hudson Bay Company hiding in the
woods of Oregon. His opinion was
that the "rooster" alluded to in tho text
was a Jesuit in disguise, who imitated
the crawinir of a rooster so as to hide
his presence . on the occasion, and ad
vised the revisarv committee to make
the text read
"And immediately the Jesuit crow."
This, he added, would greatly en
banco the value of the book, as every
Protestant would have that edition of
the Eible which exposed the tricks of
the Jesuits. And it the committee
could impliate the horrible- Hudson

One evening, shortly after his arrival,
a social was gi ven at tho church for
tho purpose if giving the members an
opportunity, of becoming acquainted

est and most resjM,c.table pillars of the
sanctuary enleied the pastor's study

brightly burning and found a dozen
gentlemen lounging around in easy
attitudes and smoking. As Mr. Davis
was known to be a western man and

brethren much. Thev were introduced

Both the horrified brethren stared
speechlessly at the tmstor. Seeing that
they failed to comprehend, the rever

What I mean is, will you church fel

Finally murmuring something about

Lord's work, the brethren were stagger

them with :
"Isn't this a diuty style of treating a
fellow ? Can't you trot out something
to wet one's whistle?'
They fled after one scared look at
one another, and w-ere rushing from the
church, when another brother hailed
them and said he wanted to introduce
