Now, when a wayfaring man 1 says. "Yoa-have a very pretty town, but your hotel is miserable," it is a bad slam on the town. He leaves it with a bad impres sion, and he don't want to go back any more.

"We don't believe it," they all exclaimed. 'Wellj you all come aud see."' And be took tbe gamblers to his bouse, rang the door bell, and bis lie let them in immediately, anil ber husband introduced. ber to all tbe gamblers, aud said: Wife, we have been gambliug until late, aud we want joq to go and prepare snpper for nn." And tbe wife said "Husband, the fire is cut of the stove, aud cook bas gone borne, but it J ou'il be sealed and patient. I will get it as soou as 1 can," aud ith a smile on her face, she pre pared the supper, called them in, and watted on the table with smile on her face: aud wbeu the bad finished the meal one of tbe gamblers said: f Your hqshvpd told us be fore-we (same what you would do, but we didn't believe, him, aud now I want to ask you a question: How can yon be such a wife to such a husband!" And she said: "Gentlemen1, 1 have prayed for that man for twenty years, that God would save bis soul but I bave lost all bope that be will be saved- B is going to a world of torment, and I am going to make bis lire in this world as pleasant for bim as I can."

My wife has won me to her Saviour touigbtand 1 bave settled tbe question.
