years since, was remarkable for the apposteness
of his illustrations and the emnently practical
nature of his teachings. Said he one day, to a

account the individual to whom it is made 2!
The reply was promptly given in the negative.

field, whittier he was repairing for the purpose

animal, the gentleman extended his hand as
though it contained something in the way of salt
or corn, and rubbed one hand with the other as
though he was pulverlsing the salt Smelling the
corn. The horse, thoroughly deceived, came ra-
pidly up, the halter was slipped over his head
and he was made prisoner. 81 thought" said
the doctor, "what difference there could be be-

the difference between the second act and the
