The Deacon's Dog.

1t was a great many years ago, at camp
meeting, that Brother Higgins, good man,
but passiouately fond of dogs, came in oneday
accompanied by black-and-tan hound
Somebody asked him to address the congresa-
ton. aud he mounted the stand FOR the pur-
pose, while bis dog sat down upon his launches
Immediately in front, looking at his MASTER
In the midst Of the discourse, which entertain
ei us much, another dog came up, aud after
few social shifts at Brother Higgins dog, be-
gan to examine the hind leg Of the latter with
bis teeth, apparently for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning if it was tender. An animated contest
eusucd, and one Of The congregation came for
ward for the purpose Of Operating the animals.
His efforts were not wholly successful. He
would snatch at the leg Of Higgins dog, but
before his hand got there the yellow dog would
be on that side, and would probably take an
incidental and cursory bite at the deacOns
hand Brother Higgins paused in his discourse
and watched the deacon. Then be exclaimed,
Spit in bis eye, Brother Thompson spit in
the hounds eye" Brother Thompson did, and
the fight ended Bot just want to say" !"
continued Mr. Higgins, that outside the sane
tuary that dog Of mine can eat up any salmon
colored animal in the State, and then chaw up
the bones of its ancestors for four generations
without turuinsa hair You understand me- y
Then the services proceeded.

What to do with Trouble.

Dent try to quench yoar sorrow in rum OF
narcotics. II you hogn This. you must keep
right on with it until it leads YOU to ruin or
if you must add physical pain and the con-
sciousuess Of degradation to the sorrow you
seek to escape. OF all wrciched men, his con-
dition is most ptilul who, having sought to
drown lis grief in drink, swakens from bis de-
bauch with shattered nerves aching head, aud
depressed mind, to face the same trouble again.
That which at frst was painful to contemplate
will, after drink, seem unbearabe.
Ten to one the fatal drink will be again
and again sought till its victim sinks hope
less, pitiul and total wrecs.
Work is your remedy. Ii misfortune
hits you hard, hit you something else hard
pitch into something with a will. There's
nothing like good, solid, absorbing work to
cure trouble. If you have met with losses,
you don't want to lie awake thinking Of them.
You want sweet, calm sonud sleep, and to eat
your dinner with app petite. But you can't un-
less you work Ifyou say you don't feel like
work, aud 90 a loafng all day, to tell Tom,
Dick or Harry the story Of your woes, you'll
lie awake and keep your wife awake by tos-
sings, spoil her temper and your own break
fast the next morning, and begin tomorrow
feeling ten times worse than you do to-day.
There is some trouble that time only heals,
and perhaps some that never can be healed at
all, bu; all can be helped by the panacea, work.
Try it, you who are thus afflicted
