THE TESTIMONY OF THE DYING

The name of Sir Humphrey Davy is
one of the most conspicuous in the an
nails of the past. AS philosopher he
attained the highest eminence. He had
opulence which enabled him to sur
round himself with all the luxuries
of life. His celebrity gave him rank
which made him a welcome guest in the
castle of mobiles and, palaces of kings.
This illustrious man as he placed his
head upon the pillow of death, left be-
hind him the following testimony;
81 envy no qualities of the mind and
intellect in others, nor genius, nor power,
nor wit, nor fancy. But if l could choose
what would be most delightful and l be-
lieve most useful to me, should prefer
firm religious belief to every other
blessing, for it makes life discipline
of good, creates new hopes when all earth
ly hopes vanish, throws over the decay
of existence the most gorgeous of all
lights, awakes life in death, and calls
from corruption and decay beauty and
everlasting glory"
Such testimony from such a man is
certainly worthy of being deeply ponder
ed by every thoughtful mind. And how
much confrmatory testimony have we of
the same nature. Recall to mind the
words of Prince Albert as he was breath
ing his last amid the splendors of one of
England's most gorgeous palaces:
II have enjoyed wealth, rank and
power. But if this were all [ had, how
wretched [ should be now.

SAGACITY OF A MARE-A CASE FOR
DARWIN-A remarkable instance of the
sagacity lis it not reason p of q horse
has come to our notice. Mr.. John
Fletcher, of Norwegian, owns an I'M
broken Gayuse which runs i'll a
pasture adjoining hishouse. The mare,
which is very wild, has a young colt at
her side. A few nights since, after Mr..
Fletcher had retired, he was aroused by
the mare coming to the window of his
house, and by paving, neighing, and in
every way possible trying to get his
attention. This continuing for some
time, he got up and went out and drove
her away, and returnedagain to bed; but
she Immediately returned, and if
possible increased her demonstrations
he again went out, when the
mare came up to him and rubbed
her nose against him, although al
ways before she had beenaverysg.shy
of allowing any one to come within
reach OF her, then ran on a few yards
before him continuing her neighing
then, as he did not follow her, she re
turned to him, rubbing against him in
| the most demOnstrative manner. He
attempted to drive her off, struck heI
with a stick and followed her a few
| yards to brighten her away, As soon,
however, as he turned toward the house
she returned and tried in every way
to prevent him from doing SO. He
then remarked that her colt was not
with her, a fact he had not noticed be-
fore, as it was quite dark. 1t occurred
then to follow her which he did. Sc
soon as she saw he was doing so she
ran off before him., stOpping every few
yards, turning round to see that he was
still following, then running on, keep,

INFLUENCE OF A NEwsPAPER.-A
school teacher, who has been engaged a
long timein hisprofession, and witnessed
the influence of newspapers ON the
minds of a family of children, writes as
follows:
I have found it to be the universal
fact, without exception, that those schol-
ars of both sexes, and of all ages, who
have had access to newspapers at home,
when compared with those who have
not, are better readers, excelling in pro-
n%unciation, and consequently read more
understandingly. They are better spell
ers and define words with ease and ac-
curacy. ,.E .n.. e.
They obtain a practical knowledge of
geography in almost half the time it re-
quires others, as the newspaper has
made them familiar with the location of
the most important places, nations, their
| governments and dOings on the globe.
They are better grammarians; for
having become so familiar with every
variety of the newspaper, from the com
mon-place advertisement to the finished
and classical Grafton of the statesman,
they morereadily comprehend the mean
ing OF his text, andconsequently analyze
its construction with more accuracy.

Lost Wedding Rings.

A matrOn of East LulwOrth lost her
ring one day ; two years afterward she
was pceling some potatoes, brought
from a field a half mile distant from
her cottage, and upon dividing a double
one, came upon the lost matrimonial
circlet. 4 Mrs. MOuntjOy, of Brechin,
when feedingaCaltlet itsuck hertingers,
and on withdrawing her hand discOv-
cred, to her dismay, that The wedding
ring and keeper had both disappeared.
Believing the calf was the innocent
thief, she refused to part with it, and
after keeping the animal for three
years, had it slaughtered, and, sure
enough, the long absent rings were
found i'll it's intestines, as clean and
bright as when their owner last saw
them on her finger. A wealthy Ger
man farmer, living near NOrdanhamn,
employed himself one day, in 1871, in
making flour balls for his cattle when
he had finished his work, he found his
hand minus his wGdding-ring, bearing
his Wife'S name, it being the German
custom for bride and bridegroom to
exchange rings. Soon afterward, the
farmer sold seven bullOcks, which
the purchaser shipped to England on
board the Adler cattle steamer, on the
twenty-sixth Of October. Two days at
terward, an English smack, the Mary
Ann, of Colchester, picked up ut sea
the still warm carcass Of a bullock,
which was opened by the crew tOObtain
some fat wherewith to grease the rig
ing. Inside the animal they found Il
gold ring, inscribed with q wOman's
name and the date 1869. Captain Tyre
reported the circumstance rs OOn as no
arrived in port, and handed the ring
Over to All official, who sent it up to
London. The authorities set to work
to trace it's ownership, and found that
the only ship reporting the loss of &
beast, that could have passed the Mary
Ann, was the steamer Adler, from
| which a bullock. supposed to be dead,
had been thrown overheard on the
28th of October. Meanwhile the Ship
ping Gazette recording the finding of
the ring had reached Nordanhamn, and
one of its readers there recognized the
name inscribed upOnit communications
were opened with the farmer; andin due
| time he and his wife r~ejSiced over tho
recovery Of the pledge they thought
lost forever. That they should have
recovered it, under the circumstances,
was certainly surprising but there was
| nothing so wonderful in q ring being
| found in the inside of Il bullock, that
i" comic" writer's should treat the story
as Il pure invention of some penny-a-
liner. ANY slaughteTer~O of cattle would
have told that such finds" are by no
means uncommon. and we know for Il
fact that the WifeO Of Il London slaughter
man displayed upon her hand two
rings thus found by her husband.
