How TO BREAK Orr BAD HABITS Under
stand the reason and all the reasons, why the
habit is injurious. Study the subject till there
is no lingering doubt in your mind. Avoid
the places, the persons, and the thoughts that
lead to The temptation. Keep busy idleness
is the strength ofbad habits. Do not give up
the struggle when you have broken your reso-
luton, once, twice, a thousand times. That
only shows how much need there is for you TO
strive. When you have broken your resou-
just think the matter over, and endeavor 10
understand why it is you failed, so that you
may be on your guard against n recurrence of
the same circumstance. Do not think it is an
easy thing that you have undertaken. 1t is
folly to expect to break off habit In day
which may have been gathering strength in
you for years.

while Mr.. II. c. Enderly, Of Napauoch was
engaged in transacting some business in that
village his horse was left tied under John Ed
mund's shed. Remaining with the horse was
Mr.. Ender!y's well-known coach dog, which,
during his masters absence, lay in the sleigh.
After time the horse became united, and
started from the shed. The dog commenced
paving the blanket and robe which covered
the lines on the front of the sleigh, blu. before
he could remove them the horse had got as far
as the Center-street iron bridge, when the
lines fell to the ground. On seeing this the
dog jumped after them, caught them in his
mouth, refined the horse to q standstill, and
held the lines till aid came, when he resigned
them with friendly wag of his tail, to a
stranger whom he would not have allowed
under any other circumstances to have APP
preached his masters property EienpWe
