ipiiose he did not care
in the conyeut f” said
i
“No; he afterward became a pro
fessor in the University of Witten
berg, where he explained the Bible
to the students, and tfioght them
that Catholic priests can not ftmive
sins, but that God alone caff
sinners. 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^

“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

The iMdirnf HepotUory has a para
graph on this subject which should
be well considered by every' Chris

As the fig crop this year is very
fine, yon will do a favor by giving
the best approved and most practica

them for winter use. Tlie Remitter
replies:
For preferring, wre have, for many
years, practiced, with jierfcct success,
the following method: Gather the
figs as soon as ripe, and weigh the
quantity iuteuded for prenening.
Theu weigh out half the quantity in
weight of good brown sugar, put the
latter luto a kettle and add a little
water, jnst enough to preveut its
burning—put the kettle over a good
fire aud heat until the sugar is dis
solved and the syrup begins to boil—
in the meantime, stirring to keep from
bn ruing. As soon as the syrup boils,
put iu the figs aud let them boil uu
til they assume a clear, almost trans
jMicnt ap;»earancc. Then take out
and put away iu air tight glass jars,
aud they will keep for years. A
more delicious preserve uever was
made.

For drying, the following method is
given by P. J. Herckman*, in a re
cent number of the Rural Carotin
ian :
Gather tbe figs when the skin be
gin* to crack (which is a sigu of ma
turity, and then the fruit contains
tbe largest amount of saocarine mat
ter), make a strong lye of oak ashes,
or take common cooking soda dis
solved in hot water; qnickly dip the
figs in tbe hot liquid and remove
immediately ; expose to the air for a
minnte or two, and repeat tbe dip
ping. 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. Pnt tin* lid on to keep
insect* out. Figs placed in if dry
room will keep a long time.
If a brick oven is <*onvenietif, it
will greatly facilitate the dry ing pro
ere*; care howex-cr, must be takcu
m»t to gix'e too much heat. 8® soon
as tlie figs show signs of secreting
syrup, they liax-e been jwit under too
high a degree of heat, and they will
thus make an inferior article. 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.
