" hiteapid and the Thunder Storm.

On one occasion, Mr. Whitofeld was
preaching in Boston on the wonders Of Gre
alton, providence, and redemption, when
violent tempest Of thunder aud lightning
came on. In the midst Of the sermon il
attained to 50 alarming a height that the
congregation sat in almost breathless awe.
The preacher closed his note book, aud,
stepping into one Of the wings Of the desk,
fell on bis knees, and with much feeling
and fine taste repeated
"Hark the Eternal rend- the skyi
mighty voice before Him goes
voice Of music TO His ffiends,
But threatening thunder to Ills foes
Come, children, 10 your Fathers arms
Tide In the chambers OF my grace,
TIL the fierce storm he overbowu,
And my revenging fury cease.h
Let us devoutly sing, to the praise and,
glory Of God, this hymn Old Hundred ,
The whole congregation instantly rose,
and poured forth the sacred song, in which
they were nobly accompanied by the organ,
in style Of pious grandeur and heartfelt
devotion that was probably never surpassed.
by the time the hymn was finished, the
storm was hushed, and the sun bursting
forth, showed through the windows to the
enraptured assembly magnificent and
brilliant arch of peace. The preacher re-
sumed the desk aud bis discourse, with this
opposite quotation
Look upon the rainbow praise Him
that made it, Very beautiful it is in the
brightness thereof 1t compasseth the
heaven about with a glorious circle; and
the hands Of the most High have bended
it,"
The remainder Of the services was cal
eulated to sustain that elevated feeling
which had been produced and the bene.
diction with which the good man dismissed
the flock was universally received with
streaming eyes and hearts overiowing with
tenderness and gratitude.

Can any one think so who has

he understands each word or

what he is bidden? Perhaps to
bring in a number Of sheep
from a distance, which he ac.
complishes very quickly, and
yet without hurrving them too
much, for he is very careful not
to do them any harm, and his
barking, although sharp, is not
angry nor do the sheep seem
to think so, or to be in the
least alarmed, for they also
have protited by experience,
and they know him and his

any one hold out to him a very
large piece, and he evidently
thinks it a cruel jest, feels him
self insulted, turns, away his
head, and will not look at the
cake, far less accept it. We
know OF no other kind OF dog
that so generally shows his fas
tidi ,usness. We have tried the
experiment with colnes, and
always with one result; they
would have nothing to do with
a very large piece of bread.
We have tried It also with 9th
er dogs of various kinds, but al
ways with the opposite result.
No piece that was offered
seemed too large for any one
that we ever tried-Newfound-

which turned away, as if aware
OF being Knocked, if a whole
slice of bread was held out to it,
and would not approach the
sugar-bowl even if 1t was set
upon the floor, although very
fond OF sugar, and ready to beg
long for little bit OF it.
1t is worthy to be observed
concerning the shepherds dog,
that no severity is ever used IN
his training. The Shepherd has
no dog'whip. A single punish
ment, such as a gamekeeper
often finds or thinks it neces.
sary to lnflict on a pointer
would spoil a collie altogether
and make him Worthless for
life. He would not resent 1t
by turning savagely on his
master, but he would at once
become broken-spirited and IN
ert. Words of commentator
or of cenSure are all that he
needs, all that suit his nature.
The same thing may be OBJ
served in animals of some 9TH
er kinds-as IN the elephant
and in the finest breeds of
horses. The fine feelings of the
Scottish hepherd's dog, and his
capsbility of having his teel-
ings deeply wounded, are some
times very strlklngly illustrat-
ed. The grandfather OF the
present writer had an excel
lent collie, by name Waite,
which was d great favorite, and
greatly attached to him and to
all the family. When the dog
grew old and feeble, it was nec-
essary to get another one; but
on the new dogs arrival, poor
old Waite left his place at the
fireside and went out to a green
bank beside pond, where he
lay down, and no persuasions
could induce him to return to
the house. He wagged his tail
a little when kindly spoken TO
but he coDtineud to lie in the
same spot and would not rise.
He refused food and in two
days he was dead He seems
to have felt that his day was
over, and that his services were
no longer valued, and his old
place no longer his, and took 1t
all to signify that his time had
come to die. His death, how.
ever seems not to have been
the result OF mere old age, but
to have been FASTENED by his
wounded feelings.

Jeanie Deans regarded the to-

Highland gentleman solaced
himself during the service, and
condemned it as unseemly, re
questing the Shep erds thence
forth to leave their dogs at

haps, wondered a little, but
the request was generally COM
piled with for a time. Howev
er, there was one splendid col
lie that soon made his appear
ance again, and took his place
on the pulpit stairs, which he
had long specially appropriat,
ed to himself, lying very quiet
ly, unless some other dog ven
tured to sci foot upon the stairs
an intrusion which he would
not permit. One day the min
lister met the shepherd, the
owner of the dog, accompan-
led, of course, by his faithful
attendant. The shepherd i'm
mediately referred apologetic

intelligence displayed by the
log in the anecdote just relat-
ed, implies a power of tbink-
ing such as we hardly expect
to find in the lower ANIMALS
besides a remarkable strength
of will, for the dog certainly
lost a breakfast, and probably
also a supper, to crafty his de
sire of occupying his place OF
honor on the pulpit stairs.
We once witnessed an ex.
traordinary scene IN which
shepherds dogs were the ac.
tors. An Elinburg minister
was to preach a sermon, on a
summer evening, in an empty
wool barn in One 6f the mosl

which the preacher stood and
the nearest seat placed for bis
hearers. This the dogs which
the shepherds had brough

Proposed Change Of the Presi.

"The Cincinnati Enquirer, comment
ing upon the fact that so many Presi-
dents have taken severe colds in conse-
quence of the inclement weather on the
4th of March, suggests that inaugura-
tion day be changed to some time in the
month of May or June. If there be no
change forward there might be a change
to little time backward and the day be
fixed for the 22d of February, when
Washington's Birthday add the iuau-
guration of the new President might
both be celebrated at the same time.
This would prove fitting honorin COM

less and less observed as time and
events press on. But if the 22d of
February be thought unsuitable why

covery would be uncertain. Let them

The Indian War.

Recent adYices from the Modoc
country indicate that Gen. Davis, who
is in command Of the Federal troops,
will soon bring Capt. Jack and his
braves to terms. The policy seems
now to be, determination to the In
dian. It is somewhat questioned
whether this policy is the dictate Of
justice and humanity. It is true that
the murder Of Gen. Candy was a das.
tardly outrage, but there are no doubt
many extenuating circumstances with
which the people are not acquainted.
The government has no doubt always
meant to do right, but the Indian
Agents appointed to carry out the Acts
Of Congress have most commonly acted
in bad faith towards the saVages.
Before the white mans foot trod
the soil Of this continent, the Indian,
amidst plenty and happiness, roamed
through the almost limitless forests Of
his own land he built his wigwam,
fashioned his canal, and indulged un-
restricted in the chase. He buried
his children and brethren in peace.
and revisited at his pleasure the graves
Of his fathers. He was then in num-
bers like the leaves of his own forests,
but untin.ely frosts have nipped those
leaves-they have fallen to the earth,
and the cold #intry winds have driven
them withered and dead towards the
Western seas, and soon the last one
will have passed beneath the waves Of
of the peaceful Pacific.
We do not wish to be understood as
indulging in any sickiy seutimentality
about the "Poor Indian" but we do
say that he has rights which have
been set at defance-he has been de-
ceived by people possessing chris
tianity. This should not have been
done. Even the brute has rights be-
slowed by its maker which man dare
not in honesty violate.

change vii! enhance bis profits. Now
there can be no question as to the great
pecuniary advantages alone that would
result to our community by the estab-
fishing of some extensive manufactur-
ing interest in our midst. And We
take it for granted that no establish
ment in the manufacturing line would
paw better than a Cotton Mill. Apart
from the direct pccuniary advantages
that Cotton Mills would give to New
berry, there are other indirect ad-
yantages which would arise Of no less
value.
Why then do MEN allow the act in
cooperating 'The Newberry Cotton
Mills" to lie dead letter in the
statute book? Is not our solution Of
the problem correct? And if it is, let
other men-capitalists from abroad
come to Newberry, invest their money
aud realize the vast profits which will
in short time fall to their share.
Of course, We would very much pre-
fer to have our own people embark in
the rich enterprise suggested to them,
but if they are satisfied with their
present investments, even they should
be anxious to have foreign capital to
build up interests from which the
community at large would reap the
greatest advantages. We have higher
hopes of our people, however: that
they will not allow so rich a prize to slip
from their grasp. Why not begin
work at once? See what can be done
by subscription. There is nothing
that will so surely lead to success as
striking while the iron is hot.
