A HUNTING INCIDENT. = The
Louisville Comier-JomTal says: CA
Young man named Harvey Wells,
living at Millwood Station, on the
F.. and P. Railroad, went out on a
hunt recently and succeeded in get
ting up lively fox chase. The fox
ran into a hollow log. and a dog
followed. Both dog and fox were
now lost to the hunter; and, after
blowing his horn and searching the
woods in vain, he went home, wan
dering what could have become OF
his faithful animal. Nine DAYS
afterward it happened that the
master went to the hollow log, and,
upon examining IT closely, found
his dog wedged closely inside. In
his eagerness to catch the fox he
had gone too far and could not re-
treat, and also made the fox pris-
oner. The log was split open, and,
strange to say, both dog and fox
were found to be still alive, though
verv much emaciated and weak.
The fox was permitted to 60 in
peace, and the dog was kindlyta-
ken in the arms Of his master, who
took him home and doctored him
with bread and meat until he re-
gained his usual strength.

Souls for whom Saviour died;
Satan with his wiles is trying o.
To increase the blinded tide,
Who bv night and day are pressing
Downward to the realms of death'
Where he wall OF woes distressing,
Upward floats on every breatn.
BE in earnest hourly nearer
Comes the solemn Judgment uhy'
When, with vision pu9r, clearer,
Well review life's winding way.
Vain all effort then to borrow
One excuse for sioth while here;

Re in earnest; it is glorious
On life's battlefield TO stand,
with the Spirits sword victorious
Tn our waiting, willing hand:
Soon the fierce and fiery struggle
I'm the flesh with sin shall cease;
Following close the din of battle,
Dawns the day of rest aud peace.
