A MONKEY IN TROUBLE-Sam Wicoxea

to the collar of the dog by a string. As gem

willingly have traded himself off for some less
privileged specimen of his species. His canine
steed, being allowed to roam the streets at viii,
saw another dog that he thought he could whip
and forthwith went for him. La q moment
both dogs were on their hind legs, and going
tor each other like two sausage machines! This
made times very lively for the monkey, as the
stranger dog evidently considered him as a
part and parcel of his antagonist. Such walls
OF despair as that monkey uttered, and such
hldcouS faces as he made, we never heard or
saw. lie would climb down the side of the
dog he bc>trOde opposite to where the war was
going on, and thence peep over occasionally
his jaws quiyering, his visage distorted, and
his eyes staring from their sockets with terror.

him, and he found himself trampled under the
feet of both friend aud foe-and he was glad

the dogs been separated, must soon have been
rendered fit subject for the insane asylum.
Az it was, he did not get over examining the
end of his tail for wounds for four hours after

BISHOP CUMMINs AND HIS CHURCH
Bishop CumminS is staying at the Sanitarium,
Auburn. n. Y, for the benefit of his health.
He will begin this month systematic visitation
to the Reformed Episcopal Churches to organize
new associations, ordain ministers, &c, begin
ming in Canada. He does not think the general
Protestant Episcopal Convention this fall will
take any step for the revision of the prayer
book, and says that fve-sixths or seven eights
of the clergy holds High Church views He
believes that Low Churchmen, like the younger
Tying, will see the hopelessness Of their cause.
withdraw and join the Reformed Episcopal
Church. The differences between the two
parties in the parent body are too radical TO be
reconcied. The General Convention of the
Reformed Episcopal Church, which meets in
Chicago next May, will elect several more
bishops, including one for Can ida. Numerous
applications have been received from ministers
of the Protestant Episcopal Church, but there
is at present no field for them. The growth
OF the new church will be necessarily slow, bat
its success is assured.

NOVEL READING AND A HIGHER CULTURE.
The examining committee of the Boston
Public Library has come to the belief that
novel reading is better than no reading at all,
and that books even Of the lightest order exert
upon those who can appreciate no higher kind
a certain educational influence. The commit
tee has, therefore, concluded not to depre-
cate novel reading, but it nevertheless greets
with pleasure every sign OfimprOvement in the
public taste and every measure designed to
raise the standard Of reading" In the Bates
Hall collection of the library there are many
valuable standard works, but no novels, and as
a consequence this collection has not been as
much used as the general library. Last year
the books in the Bates Hall were collected in
classes Of biography. history and travel, and
lists were prepared of them. The effect du-
ring the last eight months has been to raise by
- per cent. the use of books of history, biog-
raphy and travel, while the addition to the
amount Of fiction used has been less than three
per cent. by comparison of the use made of
books of history in June, 1874, and June 1873,
II is shown that there has been an increase of
200 per cent. during the year, while the entire
reading Of the lower hall or general library has
increased only half of one per cent

The offensive demonstrations made BY
liquor dealers in this state, as well as in
Ohio, and many ether states, has aroused
the friends of temperance to active work,
and many who have heretofore looked
upon the liquor traffic simply as neces-
sary evil, now begin to take different
ground. They do not consider it neces-
ssry, nor do they look upon the poor inc.
briate as merely an object of pity. In
temperence is not only regarded as a
misfortune. but also a crime, which in
many cases involves the reputation nd
happiness of families. Warsaw has re.
Gently been considerably disturbed by
drunken men promenading the streets.
The Warsaw Union says:
at has always been our opinion that
the traffic might be regulated by law so as
To avert the greater portion of its detri-
mental effect, but we confess we have al.
most lost confidence IN this old belief
and unless something is done very soon
to a5ate the rapidly growing evil. we shall
be forced to the conclusion that We have
stood guard at the wrong post, and that
nothing short of the abolition Of the liq-
nor traffic and the restrictions by the
General Government of the manufacture
OF all intoxicating beverages, will bring
about the much needed reformation, OF
