On the fop of that hill were a large number of apple trees, and in one of them were two boys stealing apples. One was get ting the apples, and the other, was watch ing to make certain that nobody saw them, feeling certain that they were un discovered. But - there sat Professor Mitchell, seven- miles away, with the great e'y-e of; his telescope directed fully upon them, seeing every movement they made as plainly as if he had been under the tree;with ;them. So, often, it is with men. Because they do not see the eye which watches with sleepless vigilance, they think they are not seen. But the eye of God is upon them, and not an action can be concealed. If man can penetrate, ■with the searching eye which science constituted for his use, the wide realm of the material heavens, shall not He who sitteth upon their cir cuit' be able to know all that transpires upon the earth which He has made the resting place of His feet ?—Publisher Un known. ...................
