J Some time uxo I sent you my recol lections of a dog who kuew it liulf penny from a penny, ami wbo could count up as far as two. 1 have been able to obtain authentic intoraation of a don whose mental powers were still more advanced, aud wbo, in his day, besides being celebrated for his abilities, was of substantial benefit toa charitable institution in his town. The dog I refer to was a little white for terrier, Prin by name, who lived at the Lion Hotel, at Kidderminster, for three or four years; hut n<>w, alas! he is dead, and nothing re mains of him but his head iu a glass case. I had heard of this dog some months ago, but on Saturday last, having to uruke a visit to Kidder minster, I went to see him. The facts 1 give about him are based on the statements of Mr. Lloyd, his master, and they are fully substanti ated by the evidence of many others. I have before me a statement of the proceeds uf "Dog Prin’s box. Lion Hotel; subscriptions to the infirma ry.” The contributions began in September, 1871, and ended ou April 25, 1870, aud during that period the sum of £l3 14s. Od. was contributed through Prin's instrumentality. He began by displaying a fancy for play ing with coins, not unusual amongst terriers, and he advanced to a dis covery that he could exchange the coins for biscuits. He learned that for a halfpenny he could get two bis cuits, and for a penny, three; and having become able to distinguish between the two coins, it was found impossible to cheat him. If he had contributed a penny, be would not leave the bar till be had his third biscuit; and if there was nobody to attend to his wants, he kept the coin in his mouth till he could be served. Indeed, it was this persistence which ultimately caused poor Prin’s death, for there is every reason to fear that he fell a victim to copper-poisoning. By a little training he was taught, to place tne coins, after he had got the biscuits, upon tbe top of a small box fixed on the wall, and they dropped for him through a slot. He never objected to part with them in this way, and having received the quid pro quo, he gave complete evidence of his appreciation of the honorable understanding which is so absolute ly necessary for all commercial transactions. An authenticated case like this is of extreme value, for just as the elementary stages of tiny science or discovery are the most difficult and the slowest in aecom plisnment, so are the primary stages of all mental processes. To find the preliminary steps of the evolu tion of mathematics and commerce in a dog is therefore a very impor tant observation, and everything bearing on these early phases of in tellect should bo carefully recorded.

A correspondent of the Illustrated Christian Weekly, who is a teller in a bank, gives the following and vouches for its truth: An old lailv called at the bank with her book, and asked to have all of her money She had not been to the bank in nineteen years, and at that time she had a balance of'five dollars only. The account, with the accumulated interest, amounted to over fourteen dollars. She seemed over come with emotion when she found out how much was coming to her, and went back to the teller, asking him to redepnsit five dollars, as she did not wish to have so much money about. In the conversation that followed she told the clerk that she had passed through a great many trials, having lost her husband more than twen ty years ago. For the past two or three yitars she ims often been in extreme want: the only work she was able to procure latterly was making button holes. Last week she obtained some coal from tin city; but on Saturday she took back tin skirts she had been working on for two weeks, expecting to receive her pay, two dollars; but for some reason they would not pay her. HUe went home, not know ing what to do. She had eaten nothing for a day. At last she kneeled down and ask-id God to show her some way th .t she might not starve or be compelled to beg. Rising from her knees, the thought came to her to open a trunk th it she find not opened for years. She hoped sin might find something either to selll or pawn. On turning over its contents, she came across the bank-book that I have mentioned, and which she had long for gotten. Don't you think the above a good il lustration of a direct answer to prayer? lir. Sctienck's Pulmonic Aeiil Soa Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Fills. - These medicines have undoubtedly per formed more cures of consumption than any other remedy known to the Ameri can public. They are compounded of vegetable ingredients,and contain nothing which can be injurious to tbe human con stitution. Other remedies advertised as cures for consumption, probably contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for its tendency is to confine the morbid matter in the system, which, or course, must make a cure impossible. Schenek’s Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain a particle of opium; it is composed of powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver, stomach, and blood, and thus correct, all moil.id secretions, and expel ail the diseased mat ter from the body. These are the only means by which consumption can be cured, and as Schenek's Pulmonic Si rup, Sea Weed Tonic, Mandrake Pills are the onfr medicines which operate in is way, it Is obvious they are the only gen uine cure for Pulmonary Consumption Bach bottle of this invaluable medicine is accompanied by full directions.

Ayer’s Ague Cure, For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Aprue, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c., and indeed all the affections which arise from malarious, marsh, or mias matic poisons. This is a compound remedy, prepared with scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such a remedy the necessities of the people in malari ous districts demand. Its great superiority over any other medicine yet discovered for the euro of is, that it contains no quinine or mineral, and those wbo take it are free from danger of quinism or any injurious effects, and are as healthy after using it as before. It has been extensively employed during the last thirty years in the treatment of these distressing dis orders, and so unvarying has been its success that it has gained tbe reputation of being infalli ble. It can, bo safely recommend!* as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and Ague of the West, and (lie Chills and Fever of the South, which, cnco broken up by it, do not return until tbe disease is again contracted. The great variety of disorders which arise from the irritation of this poison, such as Neu ralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Ca tarrh, Asthma, Palpitation, Splenic Affections, Hysterics, Pain in the Bow els, Colic, Paralysis, and derangement of the Stomach, all of which become Intermittent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than Ayer’s Ague Cure, which cures them all alike, and protects the system from future attacks. As a preventive, it is of immense service In those communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as it stays the development of the disease if taken on the first approach of the premonitory symp toms. Travellers and temporary residents are thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the protection this remedy affords. For Liver Complnfnfff, arising from torpidity, it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ into healthy activity, and produces many remarkable cures where other medicines fail.
