A SLEEPING CHRISTIAN.—

“The Devil,” says Luther, “held a great anniversary, at which his emissaries were convened to report the results of their several missions. ‘I let loose the wild beast of the desert,’ says one, ‘on a caravan of Christians, and their bones are now bleaching on the sand.’ ‘What of that,’ said the Devil, ‘their souls are saved.’ ‘For ten years I tried to get a single Christian asleep,’ said a third, ‘and I succeeded and left him so.’ ‘At this the Devil shouted,’ continued Luther, “and the night stars of hell sang for joy.”
