THE SILVER CUP.—

There is a story of a servant receiving a silver cup from his master, who suffers it to fall into a vessel of aquafortis; and, seeing it disappear, contends in argument with a fellow-servant, that its recovery is impossible, till the master comes on the scene and infuses salt water, which precipitates the silver from the solution; and then by melting and hammering the metal, he restores it to its original shape. A skeptic was so struck with this apologue that he renounced his dissent, and became a Christian.
