as it is certainly very becoming, to see
the limbs hidden in laeedfrilled
trousers of cambria than in the present
fashion As / said, this mode is very
much seen on the Continent, among
French, Spaniards; and especially
Russians. When at Barcelona, few
years ago, I remarked that every lady
wore trousers, Seine plain, some richly
trimmed with lace frills or founces.

HOttentOt Dogs.

the lions, leopards and tigers, which
abound in the surrounding country.
No deg, singlehanded, would be d
match fer one of these fearful Beasts;
and therefore the powers of combination
and organization are developed in these
dogs to q remarkable degree. At
night, when the flock is assembled in
one place, four dogs station themselves
as sentinels at equal distances along
the line Of danger and watch III sit
ting position, the head streatelied out
to catch the slightest noise. Nor does
their power Of organization end here
All good defense tequires a portal, and
the four dogs take turns, hour by hour
in walking up and down before the
camp, listening to and watching intent
ly to give Immediate warning of the
enemy's approach. If a tiger or a
leopard comes in sight, the seminal
utters cry of alarm, and the other
dogs instantly assemble, and throw
themselves, enmasse, upon the intruder
who finds their united strength too
much for him. Sometimes, however,
the enemy COMES in force, in which
case the dogs utter long, plaintive cries.

the neighboring flock, who respond to
the signal, and expect similar aid IN
their hour of danger. These remarka-
bic dogs have an external beauty to
recommend them. Their color is a
dirty gray. They have square paws,
pointed noses, stiff ears and very
rough hair. They are, nevertheless,

[From Sermon by Miss Srniley.) ]

From a Sermon by Miss Smiley.
Some years ago | spent a portion Of
the. summer upon very desolate sea-
shose. | often went down when the
tide was low, and sat upon the rocks,
4 more unsightly vision never stretch
ed before rit eyes. On every hand,
whichever way I looked, l could see
nothing but the duh sands, or the mud
or the shine, FOR few rude locks and
coarse dripping tangle of sea. weed, or
a few poor stranded fishes lying here
and there about the coast Every
thing was black and uninviting But
as [ would wait there little while,
the tide would come rolling in one
after another these unsightIy objects
would be covered up, and at last,
whichever way | looked. there would
be rolling and dashing, far aud wide
the, blue and boundless sea, vision of
glorious beauty. And just so will it
be, dear friends, when over these poor
poverty stricken lives Of ours there
comes rushing in the mighty tide of
the love Of Christ.--in the great
wealth of the sea of life, when we find
that His love has sealed up all our
weakness, that His wisdom has sealed
up and overfowed all our ignorance,
that His grace has buried all our sins
in the depths Of The sea; that it is
henceforth no more we but Christ who
covers US and shields US, and in whom
7fe are gloriously complete.

Il think the average novel is max
ing sad mischief in the average mind
in its pictures of true love. 1t makes
the tender glow and glamour which re-
lateo natures feel when they meet, true
love. It is no such thing it IS true
passion, that is all; blessed power
purely and rightly used, but no more
true love than those little hooks ana
tendrils We see in June, on shooting
vine, are the ripe clusters Of October.
For true love grows out of reverence
and Difference, loyalty and courtesy
good service given and TAKEN aarh
