The Old Woman and the Wine-Jar 
    
    
      AN OLD WOMAN found an empty jar which had lately been full of
    prime old wine and which still retained the fragrant smell of its
    former contents.  She greedily placed it several times to her
    nose, and drawing it backwards and forwards said, "O most
    delicious! How nice must the Wine itself have been, when it
    leaves behind in the very vessel which contained it so sweet a
    perfume!"  
    
    
    	The memory of a good deed lives.
