Dogs andDrums.

When the war in Italy commenc ed +, tho
Zouaves embarked for Genoa; but as they
were going on board the ship they saw a
formal order forbidding the entrance of all
dogs upon the vessel. As they were
very much attached to their dogsthey were
stricken with grief. 1t was not easy to de-
,ceiye the sharp lookout kept by the inten-
dent, for every soldier advanced along the
morrow gapgway one by one, as their names
were called. Necessity is the mother of
invention The drummers unscrewed
their drums, and the best dogs of the regi-
ment were concealed in the drums which
were screwed up again. When regiments
embark no music is played, but on this &C.
casion the Colonel determined there should
be music. He ordered the trumpets and
drums to take the head of the column and
to play lively tune. The face of the
drummers-every one of whom had a dog
in his drum-may be conceived The
trumpets sounded THE drums were all silent.
The Colonel got angry and bawled toIknow
why the drums did not beat.-There was
but one thing to do and that was to beat.
The moment the drums began to beat in.
Vulnerable dogs began to howl and bay,
to the astonishment of everybody but the
Zouayes. Everybody looked right, left.
backward, forward mo Signs Of a dog any
where; and yet, the more the drummers
beat the more the dogs howled. AT last a
spaniel fell out of drum, rolled over and
over the ground got up took to his heels
bowling louder than ever. Roars of laug h.
ter greeted this explanation of the mysteri-
Gus bowls. The attendants ordered the
drummerst to advance on board, one by one,
and roll the drum as he came. If a bark
ing was heard, the drum, was .unscrewed
and the dog put ashore. Only one dog
got on board; this was Tauton, who KEEP
quiet through all the rolling 1t need moi
be said the third Zouaves adore Tauton. -

Nothing Lost by Kindness.

Nearly half.a century ago, whensa coach
ran daily between Glasgow and Greenock,
by Paisley, on forenoon, when little
fpast Bishopton, q lady in coach noticed a
boy walking barefooted, seemingly tired
and struggling, with tender feet. She de-
sired the coachman to take him up and give
him q seat and she would pay for it,
When they arrived at the inn in iGfeenock.,
she inquired ofthe boy what was his object
in coming there a1s' iia foi s'da'igE
He said he wished to be sailor, and hoped
some of the captains would engage him.
She gave him half crown, wisRed him
success, and charged him to behaye we'll
Twenty years after this the'coach was
returning to Glasgowrin tie afternoon, on
the same road. Whom near Bishopton, d
sea-eaptain' observed an old widow lady on
the road, walking very slowly, fatigued
and weary. He ordered the, eoaGhuian to
put. her in the coach, as, there was an
empty seat, and he would pay for her.
Immediately after, when Changing horses
at Bishopton, the passengers were saunter-
ing about, except the captain and the old
lady who remained in The coach. The
lady thanked him for bis kindly feeling
towards her as she was now unable to paw
for seat. To which he replied: ! :

The Young Merchant.

A young merchant Of the city of New
York, thirty years since, was on his way
from his place of business to his residence
when it began to snow. 1t was before the
days of omnibus conyeniences, and he had
walk of some distance before him. AS he
wendell his way homeward the storm came
thicker and thicker. 1t was the evening
of the weekly lecture in the churh of which
helwas an exemplary member. He, said
within himself, it is to stormy too attend
the lecture this evening" will stay at
home! After supper the storm continuing,
he closed his windows and sat before a
blazing fire smoking cigar and reading
the papers, He was in comfortable
condition, but the church bell. the sound of
which was in hearing, reminded him of
the Christian privilege, and led him to in
quire whether he was not yielding too east
ly to a hinderence not very formidable
As he was smoking his cigar in the con-
sciousness of comfort and enjoyment 1.-The
honght occurred to him that he would not
yield to such difficulty in his secular
concerns. He honestly put the question
to himself-"Wopld you not go down to
the store, which is much more distant, if
you had an enea rement with Southern
.customer?" With equal honesty he said
to himsel, II think would" Old John
Runyan would say that the recorder con-
science kept posting him with the simple
question. Every few minutes his mind
would slip the news of the day, and the
question would return, "if you had an in
voice of goods to make, or expected to
meet customer, or make a sale, the pro-
fit Of which was only a five dollar bill,
would you not rise and GOT" He was q
good and honest man, q I'd at once he re-
-spended, and said to himself, II think l
would, Ought you not, then, to go to
the place where by your own profession God
is accustomed to meet and bless his peo-
ple" think l ought"
With prompt decision he arose, put on
thick overcoat and fastened to the church,
and as he entered the door he heard the
last toll of the bell. He was there at the
time to moment
From that time he adopted it as fixed
rule of his life, never to let difficulty
hinder him in the performance of his reli-
gious duties, WHICH would not hinder him
in his secular business.
Tha. merchant died recently, and the
Christian would mourn his loss. His life
was embodied benevolence. He was a
moving spring in every Christian enter
prise. When he died he left large be-
quest to the bible, Tract and Missionary
societies. His name is an everlasting re-
membrance.
| Reader, so may it be with you,. if in
simple integrity of purpose you do as he
did-consecrate yourself to God-to his
rising kingdom, and adopt itas the fixed
rule Of your life never to let difficulty
hinder you in your religious duties, which
would not hinder you in your secular con-
Germs. This is not a. fiction to point a
moral but was received in substance from
his liTs. 1t is certainly an important rule
oflife. (
Let it be ours, and then life, activity,
Christian enterprise, energy and useful
ness will be the certain results, }At
