small tion for a Imt tho coin in question was not the penny of the present day but was a a coin the intrinsic value of which was fifteen cents This gives one abettor iOea of the value of labor at that

thirty cents Wo have reason to believe that silver was at that period ten times as valuable as it is at present in er words thirty cents would buy as much as three dollars would now It thus pears that the Samaritan besides the other valuable things wine and oil which he be- stowed upon the injured man gave the host money enough to pay the boarding of his guest fnr some time perhaps for eral weeks because this interesting event happened in the hill country of Judea be- tween Jerusalem and Jericho where the charges at the inn were probably quite erate Thus a liberal provision was made for the intervening time which would elapse before the benevolent man would return from Jerusalem And in case he should be delayed in his return he said to the keeper Take care of this man and soever thou

memorial of her love and devotion to the 9 Again when the five thousand persons were miraculously fed we are told that the disciples asked shall we go and buy two hundred penny worth of bread nnd give

two hundred pence were equal A Miraculous Escape from Starvation The Memphis Argus gives the following account of a miraculous escape from tion gentleman residing in county Tennessee near Point Last week he was out hunting in a large bottom in his and ho ved a wild goose By out of a large cypress stump which was some twenty feet Tlis knowledge of the habits of these geese led him to believe that the goose a nest in the stump On tho outside of the stump were a number of vines which he pulled up to peep in nnd pet possession of the After he had succeeded in gaining the top of the stump he discovered a large number of eggs some six or eight feet down inside The he supposed on a firm dation and he accordingly let himself down inside but when he the substance on which the was built he discovered that it had no foundation and soon found himself sinking to the bottom of the tree The the tree was rotten and would not bear bis weight Now he was in a ma five miles from nny habitation inside of a stump twenty feet high with no prospect of any assistance with nothing to subsist on but the goose he screamed and yelled until he was nearly exhausted no one com- ing within hearing distance On the third day after his incarceration two gentlemen were out hunting and came within hearing distance They were very much frightened at hearing a man groaning inside of tho stump and for some time they could not reconcile themselves to what it meant but having learned that the gentleman had been missing from home several days they were soon satisfied that it was no ghost inside the tree They procured axes and soon the prisoner was liberated He swears he will never attempt to rob a goose neat situated as that one was again A is stated that Mrs Samuel A Frazer of Duxbury Mass is
