Men at uiy traile as a detective bear all sorts of stories; some of them long after tlie knowledge will do any good. Nevertheless, now and then, theso yarns form curious bits of history. Not long ago a gentleman from the inside was telling me a bit of unwritten history of the New York custom house. What he related took place over twenty years ago; iu fact, not long after tlie war. lie was explaining how money was made inside of the custom Hues. " 'A friend of mine, said that gentleman, 'was one of the inspectors in the Now Y'ork office. His business was to go aboard boats, ransack tho trunks of passenger and overhaul the ofTects of immigrants. " 'One day bis chief came to him and said : 'You must meet such and Hueh a boat wli n she comes in. She's at the Narrows now.

" 'There was no time,* continued liiv friend, 'to ask any questions as to how my chief know of the wherabouts of this plant of dimonds. I took the woman inspector as he directed me. j and we went aboard the boat and t quickly found our passengers from i firetucn. This Schmidt had been further described to mo by my chief n.s having only one eye, so he was easy to pick out. I searched the old man in a careful way and the woman with me took the girl into a stateroom and after fooling away ten minutes in a pretend '.l se ireli, tin dly discovered the diamonds in her waterfall, as the peculiar coill'.ire of that day was termed. *' 'As wo always did at that time, we j contented ourselves with eoiillsc iting ! tho diaai > idi. i>. course 1 made a 1 hlulV. 1 told t :i <d 1 m in and his > daughter liu-y v.vr : uu 1 r arrest, but that I would let the n go for the ..i ,1.1 T f i ... ?; .. . turn at 1>) ?>*> ! ? t'i s custom's of- j tie.', when \vr a <1 i ? i 1 tli'-m to the j penitentiary for anywhere from ten to ! twenty years.

A fear which lie very much i fed, by the way, by telling thetu some awful stories of what happened to people who were caugnt trying to boat i the custom house. The diuuiouda, when sold, if I remember correctly, i brought between 39,000 and 310,000. The share due the informer was over i 84,000. i " 'The amount due to the govern- < incut was turned over, and shortly ' follow ing the faithless son-in-law came I skulking in to get his share of the < money.

'The son-in-law informer crept away and never returned. He couldn't face the conditions which made his obtaining the money possible. It was not lost, however; you may ba very sure it went to good people who know how to use it."?Washington I'ost. Coyote mid Decoy Ducks.

This is his description : "The general eolor of tho animal resembles that of tho silver fox.

The sides of the muzzle and lower anterior part of the checks arc of a bright tan color, a characteristic 1 have? not seen iu any other American bear, and this characteristic is said to bo invariable, rhero is no tint of brown elsewhere in the pelage. There is no tail visible an the pelts. The claws are small, very much curved, sharp, black ubuvo iml lighter bolow ;tho animal evidently can climb trees which the brown bear cannot do."

Then followed the visit of the wise men. Iho presentation in tho temple, the flight into Egypt and roturn to Na/.arnth. After which wo know nothing of Him till His baptism at :he ago of thirty beyond what is recorded in :hls verse autl in this lesson. In the quiet -etlremont of Nazareth He grew both in physical and in spiritual stature and lived in :ho favor of God. He had a bo ly of tlesli ?nd blood, such as wo have (Hob. ii.. 14), >ut He had no sin ( Hob. vil., U6. If Oor. v., 11). 41.

"And when thoy ha t falfllledthe days, s tlioy retumod the child Jesus tarried he. iind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and His riother kjuow uot of it." Jerusalem is called he Holv City, and the City of the Groat Liny (Math. iv., 5; v.. .151; by its yreat sin t is called the city where our Lord was ruciflod (Rev. xi.. 8), hut it shall yet be ailed a City of Truth, and thn Throne of the ,ord (Z6ob. viii., 1; Jcr. ili., 17). That Lord hall prove to he none other than this same t?u9 without whom Joseph and Mary sturtd from Jerusalem for Nazareth. Did they hink enouyli of HitnV if 41. "Rut thoy.supposing TTim t > hiivuii?Ja a the company, went a day's journey." Xupmsiny and wouderiny are not the roads to loaco and assurance and are apt to cause us lanv sorrows. Just think wh it dismay it niyht work if we should attempt to travel iy train or steamer suppos'ny that we knew lie time of starting. Let no ouo in matters tern il rest in anything s iort of au assur.nce well founded. 45. "And when tliey found Hint not, they urnod hack aynin to Jerusalem, seekiny lim." Any one who 1ms ever had a child tray away for a lonycr or shorter time cau ympathizo somowhat with .Mary in this ex erience. Did they confess to Go I their leyliyonee aud ask Him to ytiide them? Did hey remember Ps. xxxii., 8; Tsn. xxx.. 21, nil rs. I.. 15? Perhaps they will tell us bout it some dav. 46. ''And it cuuiu to pass that utter three ays they found Him in the temp o."

'o Joseph nml Mary one hour's neglect had J rought three days' anxiety. To many an our's neglect has often brought a lifelong orrow. To noglect the soul's welfare will ring eternul sorrow. Seo Job xxxvi., 18; fell, il., 3. 47. "And all that heard Hini were astonihnd at His understanding ant answers." f John the Baptist was JHlod with the Spirit rrnn his birth, how much more must Jesus (avo been so lllled! And will not the phrase Jesus knew from the beginning (John vi., 4) reach back to this slugo of IBs life as roll as to the beginning of His ministry? He rould understand the Scriptures bettor than hose who questioned Him. and many would loublless receive some new light that day sthev heard the Scriptures quoted in all heir simplicity and beauty. 48. "Son. why hast Thou thus dealt with is? Behold, Thy father and 1 have sought 'hee sorrowing." This was His mother's [renting after the three days' search. He night have replied. Why did you go without do; parents look after children, not ehilIren after parents. In chapter 5 of the Song >f Solomon the loved one lias a sorrowful enrch because she did not care enough for ier Beloved to let Him in promptly when He ailed 49. "How is it that ye sought Me?
