When he came to a lonely forest, where robberies and murderers were said to be frequent, he was soon j lost, through taking the wrong road.— The darkness of the night came quick- ^ i V u , nm, an^ | . iow o escape _ lom the thieatened danger, he knew not. In his alarm he suddenly espied in the darkness a dim light, and, urging his horse onward, he at length caine to a wretched looking cabin. He knocked ; the door was opened by a woman said that her husband was out hunting, but would return, and she was sure he would cheerfully give him shelter for the* knight. The gentleman put up r his hor$e and entered the cabin, but with feelings that can be better imagined than described. Here he was with a large sum of money, and perhaps in the house of the robbers whose name was a terror to the country. 1 In a short time the man of the house returned. He had on a deerskin shirt, a btearskin cap, and seemed much fati gued, and in no talkative mood. All thi. boded the infidel no good. He felt r or his pistols in his pockets, , , and , placed , them so as to be ready for instant use. The man asked the stranger to retire to bed, but he declined, saying he sit up by the fire'all night? The man uiged, but the more be urged, the more the infidel was alarmed. He felt assur ed that this was his last night on earth, but he determined to sell his life as dearly as he could. His infidel nrinci pies gave him no comfort. His grew into a perfect agony. What was to be done ? down an old book and said : “Well sttanger, if you won’t go to bed, I will ; but it is always my custom to read a chut* r of the Holy Scriptures before I goto bod.” Wl What . a change . did , these , word, , pro duce r Alarm was at once removed fiom this skeptic s mind. Though avowing himself an infidel, he had more confidence in the Bible. He felt safe. He felt that a man who kept an old Bible in his house, and read it. and bent his knees in prayer, was no ber or murderer. He listened to the simple prayer of the good man, and once dismissed his fears, and laid dow r in that cabin and slept as calmly as T did ... under , ..
