Immediately tbe dam fol¬ lowed, and the entire flock cross¬ ed safely to better pastures and cooler shade. There was a lesson in that little incident for the two travelers. It had been necessary in their case, too, that tbe Good S epkerd should bear their only child across the stream in order to draw them closer to Him. But their hearts had rebelled agaiHSt the will of God and they had sought to bury their sorrow in distraction. As the meaning of tbe lessons came more fully upon th< j m they accepted the great truth it taught; and not only did they find healing for their own broken hearts and shattered hopes but were used of God in bringing h >pe and comfort into many another burdened and darkened life.—Dwight L.

It cannot have missed the observation of the reader and student that there haB sprung up, during the last few years, an ab¬ sorbing desire upon the part of publishers of many of the leading dictionaries to see how many newly-invented word* they can get between the covers of their j works. They gather up the slang | chrase of the street corner, or use some “cute” remark of a stage celebrity, and it finds its way into what are claimed te be standard books of authority, although the word itself may never have keen heard of before, and has no defi¬ nite meaning—being merely a jumbie of letters. When one work prepared with care, by men of acknowledged ability, that is recommended for its practical, useful knowledge, and whose claim to merit is not pased upon the ground that it contains a few more meaningless words than some other, he buys a Webstar Dictionary. As the Holy Book is the religious guide and counselor of the civilized world, so Wedsfcer’s Dictionary is the guide and neverfailing coun¬ selor of the student and the man of letters as well as the education¬ al world. Other works may con¬ tain mors words; may be more profusely illustrated, and hav^ brighter colors used in the print¬ ing; but Noth JFebster, like George Washington, is first in the hearts of his countrymen as an educational guide and source of useful knowledge. There is more kernel and less shell husk in Webster than in any other dictionary published. It is tbe standard—the compass used * like by the orator, the statesmen, student, the minister, writer, and the mass of mankind. It com¬ pletely fills the bill—meets every requirement. OASTOniA.
