some left over. Religion, politics, literature, every subject under the sun,
gathered in one grand colossal encyclopedia with an index so simple that a child
can understand it. See page 768, 'Texts, Biblical; Hints for Sermons; The Art of
Pulpit Eloquence.' No minister should be without it. See page 1046, 'Pulpit
Orators--Golden Words of the Greatest, comprising selections from Spurgeon,
Robertson, Talmage, Beecher, Parkhurst,' et cetery. A book that should be in
every home. Look at 'P': Poets, Great. Poison, Antidotes for. Poker, Rules of.
Poland, History and Geography of, with Map. Pomeroy, Brick. Pomatum, How to
Make. Ponce de Leon, Voyages and Life of. Pop, Ginger,' et cetery, et cetery.
The whole for the small sum of five dollars, bound in cloth, one dollar down and
one dollar a month until paid."

The minister turned the pages slowly.

"It seems a worthy book," he said hesitatingly.

Eliph' Hewlitt looked at Mrs. Smith, with a question in his eyes.

She nodded.

"Ah!" he said. "Mrs. Smith, sister of the well-known novelist, Marriott Nolan
Tarbro, takes two copies of Jarby's Encyclopedia of Knowledge and Compendium of
Literature, Science and Art, bound in full morocco, one of which she begs to
present to the worthy pastor of this happy flock, with her compliments and good
wishes."

"I can't thank you," stammered the minister; "it is so kind. I have so few
books, and so few opportunities of securing them."

Eliph' Hewlitt held out his hand for the sample volume.
