The priests were very gry with him then, and they made him appear before the Kuiperor, Charles the Fifth, at a council or large gathering of the people, iu the city of Worms, and there told him to take back all he had said, aud never to prenob again as he ltad done,” “O, mother! 1 hope he did not mind the wicked people, if he was such a brave, good man!” “No, indeed,” replied Mrs, Rogers; “when his friends were afraid to have him go to the Council, lie «*MI he would do so, though ‘there were as many devils there as there were tiles on the roofs of the‘houses;’ and then, when lie had to apjtear before the Kuiperor, the rich princes aud nobles, the priests, and a great crowd of people besides, he was uot at all afraid, but stood up boldly aud bravely; telling them that he believed in the Bible, which taught that we must pray to God, alui not mind popes or councils when they direct us to act contrary to his holy word.” “Did they punish Luther, mother, when he refused to say that he had preached or tanght anything wrong r “Yes; the Kluperor, Charles the Fifth, said that be should no longer be a iueml>er of the Catholic Church, that no one should associate with him, aud that all his writings should be burned. But poor Lather was brave and patient through all, and went quietly to the Castle of Wart burg when taken prisoner. I once visited tin* Rutle, ami was much interested in the old building, which has stood for eight hundred years. Lnther commenced translating the Bible* while there, and the guide showed* us the room where lie us»*l to write, and also pointed out the black spots on the wall which came from the inkstand he is said to have thrown at the devil when he appeared to him, and tried to tempt him to do wroug.” “You do not think that story is true, do you, mother !” “No, my child, I do not Iwlieve that God ever allows the devil to appear to us; but I suppose that Lnther’s evil heart tempted him to do wrong sometimes, just as »ieked thoughts enter into our iiiiuds now, aud (perhaps he could not help thinking bow much he had to Miller for oboyiug the voice of conscience. I can easily imagine, Lizzie, that, after reading and writing constantly alone in Iris forest, prison, he became nervous, aud thus did really think that an evil spirit appeared to tempt him.” “How much ^should like to visit the castle, 'mother!” “A great many people are inter ested to go there, and are so fond of carrying away something by which to recollect Lather, that, little by little, they have taken, off all tin* wood work which formed his lied- stead and chair.” “That is too bad,” said Lizzie. “I think the room ought to Is* left just as it was when Luther lived there. But did he stay there all the rest of his lifeT “No,” said Mrs. Rogers ; “lie came out after ten mouths, and com menced again topreaeh and to teach, never ceasing his labors for Christ; ami his last words, were: ‘Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. Thou hast redeemed me, thou faith ful God.’” “Was Ltitlier never married, irn^ ther r “When he ceased to be a monk he married a lady named Cathariua von Bora, aud he had three little sons, to one of whoift he sent this letter, which 1 will read you : “Mercy and peace iu Christ, my dear little sou. 1 am glad to hear that you learn your lessons well, nml pray diligently. Go on, my child. When I come home I will briug you a pretty fairing. I know a very pretty, delightful garden, and iu it there are a great many children, all dressed in little golden coats, pick ing up nice apples and pears aud cherries aud plums under the trees. And they sing and jump about, and are very merry; and tasidcs, they have got beautifnl little horses, with golden bridles and silver saddles. Tlie gardener told ine: *Tliese are children who love to pray, to learn their lessons and to o!»ey.’ Then I said: ‘Dear sir, I bars a little sou, called Johnny Luther; may he come into this garden too f And the man said: ‘If he loves to pray aud learn his lessons, and is good, h£ may.’” “That is a very prett3 letter, mother,” said Lizzie, “llo I should like to travel in Germany,” she con tinued, “aud see all the interesting places you have visited.” “Perhaps yon will do so sorrm day, my dear, ami if you she ud ever be at the city of Worms, you will ml mire the beautiful inonumeut erected in memory of the tearless man wbo was not afruid to speak the truth in opposition to the whole world. Aud never forget, dear daughter, that God still needs brave and fearless frorkers, who prize more than all earthly wealth aud distinction the peace of oonsricnce which ia sure to be the reward of his service." “How can children be Hke Luther, mother f” said Lisxie, as she gazed Rshfioa of Hannon. The iMdirnf HepotUory has a para graph on this subject which should be well considered by every' Chris tian especially every young person; There is nothing more unpleasant to retiued breeding tliau a looseuesa of manners, or rather an indifference to personal behavior, among the members of a family in their domes tic retirement. It shows that their wives of self iudnlfeut men, to show their aoifdeuial and desire to plonae, stultify their natures, and may be heard to remark, “1 like the smell of a good cagar.” “I like the taste of wince, porter, beer,” etc., wbeu the truth is they only endure them.

If the lye is hot and strong enough, the color of the fig will im mediately change, tbe dark varieties to a bright green, and tbe pale col ored to a light green. Place the figs upon trays made of wooden slats aud 1 expose to the sun, taking care not to allow the dew to fall ujion them. After ! a few day * they are ready to be put away in small wooden boxes, first putting a layer of spice, laurel or bay leax r* at tbe bottom and another on the top.

Pre quent turning of tbe fruit is acres sary, and after the second day it is adxisahle to lightly press the fruit with'the hand, ao a* to flatten it. The light colored varieties are pre ferred for drying, although some of the brow n skinned kinds, esjiecially the brown Tnrkey, make a very good 1 article. .4« « Fietle.—Tlie fig also makes a . most delightful pickle.
