Pruyer.-A good old author
says, with a quaintness which
has a touch of real sublimity:
prayer is the rope in the
bclfry-wc pull 1t, and it rings
the bell i'll heaven-and SO it is.
Keep that bell moving. Pull it
well, and depend upon it, it can
be heard in the tower of hcav-
en-, and is ringing before the
throne of God, who will send
answers Of peace according to
your faith" ~

BYnos's IDEA OF a pos.-Lord Byron had
+, Newfoundland dog. of which he was extreme,
" fond and proud. for the animal was Il firm
md devoted friend to Him. He used to take
(, hoa,. md, being mn excellent swimmer, would
scull out into the river. AID when be had reach
ed u certain point he won'd fall overheard, nc,
ciaenily. of course, and the dog would spr''ig
over after him, seize him by the neck and swim
him ashore safe and sound. The deg was with
on all occasions and was considered by By
ran his.best friend. His gratitude is shown III
the following epitah on the monument which
he erected over the poor animals remains:
.g.. -.-e Near this spot
Are deposi,el the Remains Of one
Who possesses beauty without vanity,
Strength without lnso'encc,
4.t Courage without Ferociis,
And all the virtucsof Man wilhnn, his vices.
This praise, which would be- unmea"ing laitery
..a- If Inscribed over human Ashes,
Is bu. a just tribute TO The Memory Of
BOATsWAIN, q Deg.
Who was born q, Newfoundland, May. 1903,
| And died at Newsteal Abby, Nov, Is. 1908.
Byron was so fond Of this faithful animal
that he concluded his epitah in the following
words;
"Ye! who perclnnce behold This simple urn,
Pass ont honors none You wish To mourn:
TO mark q friends remains these stones arise
I never knew bnt one. and here he lies"
