"Lprd, put my wishes all 20 fight,
Nor let me have my wayr

My heart ! may mistake;
So many earthly things are dear

Nor can think tina. Thou art glad

Since for all joy the worlds have had
Thyscll hast opened room.
And yet the poison-p plant, 50 fair,
So like the wholesome grows;
To pluck my llDw,ia will not dare,
But trust His hand who knows.
And this, indeed, is lies best thing;
To take sweet things from Thee.
l. thou some dark, sealed bud shouldst bring
1t must hold light tor me.
In sadness | withheld my prayer,
Hid under trembling icar
In praise it blossoms, unaware,
Because the sun is near.
My heart Thou wilt not crush or chill,
Lead into Thine own way!
Through all my wishes breathe Thy will y

What a DOG Knows.

We know Of no more singular case of
canine sagacity, says the Hartford Times,
than one which was related to us day
or two since. The gentleman who own
cd the dog lived, al the time the occur
rnce happened, i'll Southington. 1t was
a good while ago. His dog, q hound,
was bitten in the nose by red adder.
This is snake whose venomous quality
is only inferior to that OF the rattlesnake
1t will always kill man.
The dog, though bitten, continued to
assail the snake, and succeeded in killing
him. To the surprise of his owner, who
had witnessed the combat, the dog then
turued and fed at his best speed for
home, the home being two miles distant.
Fhe people at the house saw him come
rushing up the road and plunge into the
open cellar-way.
There they found him energetically
paving up the moist earth of the cellar
bottom, and into the hole thus made he
stuck his nose, aud then, holding it there,
he paved more dirt around lis head, SO
rs to bury his face and head out OF sight
They could not call or coax him away,
and theIe he staycd-so far as the family
were observers OF him for two days,
with his head and face buried in the
moist ground in the cellar. Then he
came forth, all well.
How did that dog know that that
singular treatment would save linn?
\ Western minister had been in the
habit Of preaching DEGREES III way
which his wife, among others, regarded
rs borl,r,ng on tatalism. Observing one
Saturday, as he was about TO leave home
to meet ii frontier missionary engagement
that he put his rife in unusually good
order, she rallied him upon his supposed
Inconsistency. "My dear" she says,
" why do You take this rifle with you
Ii you are to be killed by an Indian dur.
iny this "trip, that rifle wouldn't prevent
it and, if you are not TO be killed, Of
course you do not need it," ''Yes," he
replied, ''to be sure, my dear, that is a
very proper view; bu, you see, suppose
| should meet an Indian while | am gone
and his time had come, and hadn't my
rifle with me, what would he do? You
see, my dear, we must all contribute oul
part toward the fulilment Of lhe DEGREES
of Providence"

MY FIRST EXPERIMENT. Tho fol-

chanic concerning tho benefits of a
newspaper;
Ten years ago lived in a town of
Indiana. On returning home one
night, for | am a carpenter by
trade, saw little girl leave my
door with a smile, which is encour-
aging to man after hard days
labor. asked my wife who she
was. She said Mrs. K. bad sent her
little girl for their newspaper which
she had borrowed. We sat down to
tea. My wife said to me:
81 wish you would subscribe for
the newspaper, it is so much com
fort to me when you arc away from
home"
My answer was:
81 would like to do so, but you
know | owe a payment on the house
and lot. 1t will be all that | can do
to meet it."
She said:
"If you vii! take the paper, will
sew for the tailor and pay for it,
subscribed for the paper; it
came in due time to the shop
While resting enc noon and looking
over it, saw an advertisement Of
tho county commissioners to let q
bridge that was to be built.
put in bid for the bridge, and
the Job was awarded to me, on which
! realized realized three hundred dollars,
which enabled me to pay for my
mousse and lot easily, and for the
newspaper. If had not subscribed
for the newspaper | would not have
known anything about the contract
and could not have met the payment
on my house and lot, A mechanic
never loses anything by taking a
newspaper.
