THE SAILOR'S TREASURE.

A SHIP bound to New Orleans was overtaken by a tempest, and after combating for some time with the storm, went ashore on the rocky coast of England. The wind soon abated, and they were soon enabled, by fixing a spar from the ship to the rocks, to reach the shore; the men were weak from their excessive labor, and it was as much as they could do to crawl along the spar to the shore. One of them, who had a bundle tied around his waist, was asked, on reaching the shore, what it was. "O," said he, "I have been wrecked a number of times, but thanks to God, I have always managed to save this—I am afraid they are wet." The bundle contained a Bible and hymn book.
