Conveyed a Warning.

The Rev. Dr. Snow, finding himself downtown at the noon hour, dropped Into a restaurant for a luncheon. He hung bis overcoat against the wall, sat down and ordered his meal, which be ate leisurely. When he had finished and turned to look for his overedat, It was gone. He reported his loss to the cashier, who was sorry, but could no nothing, as the restaurant was “not responsible for hats, overcoats or umbrellas.” “Oh, I am not holding you responsible,” said the doctor, as he paid the bill. “I shall get the coat again.” “What makes you tkink so?” asked the cashier. “In one of the pockets,” he replied, “was a letter, with my name and address on the envelope, and in another pocket was a printed sermon on ‘Future Punishment.’ Good day.” His confidence was not misplaced. The overcoat was brought to his house the next day by a messenger boy, who said a stranger had sent it and that there was no message.—Youth’s Companion.
