A gentleman of property hml a mastiff of great sire, very watchful, and altogether » fine, intelligent animal. Though often lot out to range about, he was in general chained up during the day in a wooden house, con structed tor hi* comfort and shelter. On n certain day, when let out he waa observed to attach himself particularly to his master; and when the servant, as usual, came to tie hiij: up. he clung so to his master’s feet, showed •nch anger when they attempted to force him away, and altogether was so peculiar in lik manner, that the gentleman desired him to be left where he was; and with him he continued the whole day; and when night came on, atill he stayed with him; and on going to ward his bed-room, tho dog resolutely, and for the drat time in his life, went up along with him; and rushing into the room, took refuge under the bed, from whence neither blows nor caresses could drive him. In the middle of the night a man bunt in^o the room, dagger in hand, and attempted to stab the sleeping gentleman; but the dog darted at the robber’* neck, fastened hit fangs in him, and so kept him down that his mas ter had time to call for assistanceandaecured the ruffian, who turned out to bo the coach man. and who afterwards confessed, that see ing his master receive a large sum of money, he and the groom conspired together to rob him; and they plotted the whole thing lean ing over the roof of the dog’* house. Leaves of Life. At a recent Bible meeting Kev. Dr. Schnff observed: The Bible is the reflection of the glory of Christ, the indispensable means of leading men to Christ, and it ^perpetuates, in some . .. ... our The IVord of God has become flesh in the Bible; j it is like other books In its preparation and ' translation; it is like human hooka, bnt yet j above and beyond all other human books, composed by about forty different persons of | all conditioni in different conntriea, and uses | all forms of literary composition, and yet it ; presents a wonderful harmony and unity : throughout This unity amid dtveraify is an evidence of its Divinity. The literary perfec- {tion of tlic Bible is also an evidence of its ; divinity. Because ot this marvelous unity : and perfection, the Bible has* glorious mis sion which no other book approaches. It alone can bring man face to face with eternal things. The Bible is not only a book, bnt an institution; it challenges our admiration and love. Like a diamond, it casta its lights everywhere; like a torch, the more it is sbs- ken the more light it sheds sround. At the same meeting, Rev. Dr. King, of Athens. Greece, said, that lie had traveled through some sixteen kingdoms intbisworld, and where the Bible is not taught, there is no purity or honesty; and where it does control, there aro better customs, better wives, and husbands, and children. At the entrance of the oracle of Delphi was written, “Know thyself.” It is a great thing for a man t know himself, but tho only way is by rendin 0 the Bible and comparing himself with it.

K10I.B From Scstt’s Monthly. A beautiful, flaxen haired, cherry baby charms me like a smile from Heaven, that cheers the heart. Such a lovely light is in tho household where I am visiting. Eighteen years ago I fondled a baby, who was bright eyed and beautiful as an angel waif. She is now the staid, matronly looking f oung woman, who is the mother of this baby. look askance into the mirror before me, to see if time has run any silver threads through my hair, and involuntarily I pass my fingers over my forehead to discover whether any wrinkles have furrowed their seams upon my brow. The unpleasant seal is not yet stamped there. I must have sustained a wonderful vigor, to be saved from the infliction thus far. Satisfied that I am not eery aid, my eye* return to the baby. It lies on the floor with its chubby fists in its mouth. Its laughing eyes twinkle, with pleasure, as itwatehestliat bright quivering ray of sunshine that dances on the carpet. Now it hums and laughs at its own antics; anon it smiles as it quietly tries to grasp that round patch of golden sun light that rests like a bright dazzling eye on the floor. On baby’s head, a light crop of flaxen hair hardly hides the pure whiteness of its skin.— The sunlight gilds it, and in the golden flash, there is an ethereal brightness and promise. Its soft, deep-blue eyes look inquiringly upon me, and for a moment the little fists arc re laxed, and held in an attitude of wonder; then it laughs to see me smile. Now I point my finger at it and it turns playfully away. I put my head against its breast and pretend to butt it about. The little one gets its clutched fingers fastened in my hair and beard, and pulla and laughs—how silvery and cheerfnlly it laughs, as it pulls until the tears come into my eyes. Now I am accidentally too rongh for a moment, and a slight cry of pain escapes tho child. A half suppressed sob or two suc ceeds, then n sweet smile breaks through its tears, that sparkle like jewels flashing in the glorious sunlight. Anon the cheerful langh is resumed. The young mother surprises me in my gambols with the elf. She claps her handB and laughs with that Bame silvery, cheerful langh that captivated my heart long ago. But she cruelly takes the baby from me, and whilst she dresses it for an out-door air ing, she more cruelly remindsme of the time, when she herself had flaxen hair and pure sky ey eyes, whose spiritual gentleness and glory would have been tho pride of an Austrian Princess. There is a tinge of mischief in that reference, because her auburn liair and ethe real eyes are iis beantifu] now as an angel’s; and there is, in all her arch smiles, a pitying reference to my condition of single blessed ness. (!) How often I longed to tell herliow X had looked so much into her eyes that their NOTICE TO OOTTON SHIPPERS. JEWELRY STORE. E. J.

In 1774, Dr. Webster waa a popular preach er of the Kirk of Scotland, in Edinburgh. Business brought him to London, and one day, when passing tho House of Lords, his curiosity induced him to make nn effort to step in and see them. None were admitted without an order, except noblemen's servants. Webatcr, being ignorant of the rule, request ed admittance. “What lord do you belong tot” asked the doorkeeper. “To the Lord Jehovah,” replied Webster. “To tho Lord Jehovah ?" queried the door keeper. “I have kept here seven years, but have not heard of sueh a lord. Jack," said he to his fellow keeper on the front steps, “here's a chap who says he belongs to the Lord Jehovah; do you know such a ford I” ‘Never heard of him,' said Jack. ‘But,’’ raid the doctor, “there is such a lord.” “Pass ’im in,” said Jack; “I s’posc it’! some poor Sc»tch lord." This occurred at a period when there was not one in twenty of all the manufacturing and rural districts in England whocould read the Bible or write his own name. Sabbath Schools were introduced in 1773. Now th* people are very intelligent and happy, and not only read and write but have found who tlic “Lord Jehovah" is. The End of the World. Almost all European writers, whatever their subject, politics or society, now tacitly assume that the Im . jrti race is to progress forever, or, to state Their latent idea more strictly, is to ndvancc steadily, for an indef inite period, towards a nobler life and a high er civilization. The idea of a fixed term to history, which so greatly influenced Uio Mid dle Ages, has utterly disappeared; the semi religious belief of a catallysm to occur at a distant bnt visible date, thongh still entertain ed, has ceased to bo professed by anybody but Dr. Cummings, and does not influence him. The reverie of the politician is not of the coming overturn of all things—an idea never absent from thegreatmindaof tlic first four centuries—but of a coming millcnium, when all mankind shall be allied, and the motive force of the European, and tho subtle brow of the Arab, and the deft hand of the Mongol shall be employed together in making earth more lovely and convenient for its pco- ple.

How Snrar is Made White The way in which sugar is made perfectly white, it is said waa found out in a curious way. A hen that had gone through a clay mnd puddle, went with her muddy feet into a sugar house. She left her tracks on a pile of sugar. It was ol served Ly one, that wher ever the tracks were the sugaf vrtk® whitened This led to «ome experiments. The result waj that wet clay came to be used in refining j*u- car. It is used in this way: The sugar is put into earthen jars, shaped as you ace the sugar* loaves arc. The large ends areupwardr The smaller ends have a^fcolc in them. The jar is filled with sugar, the clay put over the top , I and kept wet. The moisture goe* down cluster 1 through the sugar, and drop* from the hole ^ £ ~ the small end of the jar.
