A Doc SroRY.--A very good anecdote is
related of New Foundland dog owned by
Mr.. T. F. Strong, of this city. Among
other things the dog has been learned to
take basket and 60 to the market for
meat. This duty he had performed fer
somc time, when the butcher presented his
bill for settlement, and to the astonishment
Of Mr. Strong it was double the account he
had kept. The bill was paid, but the dog
was suspected and watched, and one day It
was found that after doing the regular mar
kcting he took tho basket and did little
on his own hook, eating the proceeds on
his way home, and on his arrival return
the basket to its proper place. To put >
stop to this the butcher was instructed to
give meat only when piece of paper was
found in the basket. The dog tried the
marketing on his own hook several times,
but failed to get anything, and finally 80
though he had turned the matter over in
his mind, observing how it was done. he
one day went and tore off piece Of news
paper, placed it in the basket, and obtained

There is NO death The stars 60 down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
Ana bright In heavens jeweled crown
They shine for evermorc.
Thereis no death The dust We tread,
shall change, beneath the summer show ers
To golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorBenise
To feed the hungry moss they bear
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There Is no death The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away -
They only wait, through wiutry hours,
The coming OF the May.
There is no death An angel form
Walks Ger the earth with silent tread,
He bears our best loved things away,
And then We caA them s.dead.'
He leaves our hearts all desolate-
lie plucks our fairest sweetest flowers;
TranSplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice whose joyous tones
Made glad this scene OF sin and strife,
Sings no her everlasting song
Amid the Tree Of Life.
And where he sees smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for taint Of vice,
lie bears it to that world Of light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave Us but to come again
With Joy we welcome them-the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near US, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread
For the boundless Universe

hail principally from the western part Of

does not impress one very favorably at
first sight. We hope however that under
The admirable discipline which our insti-
tuition affords, they will improve rapidly,

Sam is very anxious that the morals OF his
students should be looked after. Owing

think best to dismiss during the holidays

immemorial TO grant an intermission at
such time. Cur students are improving
