“Pay custom !”
And he said :

They =aid to him :
“Thou carriest clothes.”
And he said :
“I will pay for clothes.”
Then they said to him:
“Thou carriest gold.”
And he answered them :
“I will pay for gold.”
On this they further said :
“Surely thou bearest the finest silks.”
He replied :
“I will pay custom for the silks.”
Then they said :
“Surely it must be pearls that thou
| takest with thee,”
And he answered only :
“I will pay for pearls.”
Sceing that they could name noth-
ing of value for which the patriarch
was not willing to pay custom, they
raid :
“It cannot be; but thou open the
box and let us see what is within.
So they opened the box, and the
whole land of Egypt was illuminated
by the luster of Sara’s beauty—far ex-
ceeding even that of pearls!
Hence pearls are repeatedly used in
holy writ, also for the most solemn
comparisons, and to denote the highest
degree of perfection. In the Old Tes-
tament wisdom is praised as above
pearls, and in the New Testament the
kingdom of Heaven is compared to a
pearl of great price, which, when a
merchant had found it, he went and
gold all that he had and bought it.
Fen the new Jerusalem was revealed
to St. John under the figure of an edi-

was a single pearl.

few remaining trifles in an old leaky
boat, he took his children, ene raw day
in December, and began to fleat down
the river, as he said, and they hoped to
a warmer climate.
“I pass over the first few days.of
their voyage, during which the miser-
able father of those little ehildren, lost
no opportunity of drinking at every
place where he could procure liquor,
disposing of one article after another
to pay for it, besides the scanty gar-
ments that covered the wearers, only a
single blankest remained, and only pro-
visions enough, raw pork and unground
corn, to last a single day.
“It was at this crisis in the history
of Nathan Boutwell and his children,
that the wretched father ran his boat
ashore on a desert Island in the river,
at the close of a cold, stormy day. Af-
ter landing and shivering till it began
to grow dark, with the wind blowing
high and snow falling, the father said

island, were orphans indeed.

as the meal wasover, speaking ina tone
that seemed cheerful, though she felt
as if her heart was breaking, “now 1
think we'll get along very well. I'll
get some bushes that have come ashore
and cover ourselves over, and then wll
all huddle up together and keep warm.”
“Brushing away the snow, and heap-
ing up a large pile of bushes, she then
took her little companions by the hand
and ran up and down with them until
all had become pretty well warmed ;
and then creeping under the brush
heap, they clasped one another around
the bodies, put their little feet together
under their scanty garments, and then
dozed and shivered through the long,
dreary, horrible night.
“The next morning they found the
ground covered with snow to the depth
of three or four inches and the air very
cold. They were oma desert island,
in the middle of the Mississippi, with-
out fire, without shelter, with only
scanty garments on them and no arti-
cles of covering, with but little food,
and that uncooked, and with no means
of getting away from that dreary place.

she cried, jumping up and down and
clapping her hands, an example which
her younger companions, imitated with
childish fidelity.
“The children became frightened,
however, when, as the men in the boat
drew near the shore, they saw that they
were Indians, and they would have
run away and concealed themselves if
they had known of any secret place.
“But the Indians proved friendly
and seemed to feebefor them. They
could talk a little English ; and in an-
swer to their questions, the eldest little

“I never did,and I never will I” said
that little girl, looking up toward
heaven, and believing that God heard
her.
“The Indians took the little children
in their boat, gave them something to
eat, and wrapped their blankets around
them making them feel glad and com-
paratively happy.
“They carried them up the river to
New Madrid, and there they were taken
charge of by some religious and chari-
table people and were brought up in
the fear of the Lord. They were sent
to Sunday School, and gradually re-
ceived good educations, with proper re-
ligious instruction, and became in time,
I hope, useful members of society.
“At least I know one thing—the vow
made by the eldest girl she never
broke ; and subsequently hersister and
her brother made the same resolve,
and kept it as strictly.
“Considering all the circumstances,
that their mother died broken-hearted,
their father was drowned, and their
own lives nearly lost from the effects
of spirituous drink, do netblame them
that they never consenged to taste of
