msg- DR.. Prime tells in the Christian Obserl

Mss- DR.. Prime tells in the Christian Observer
a story illustrative of the remarkable intelli-
gence of dog owned by his father. The ami
NAL had a peculiar attachment to religious
places and religious services. He was regu-
lar attendant at family worship, and had no
use or affection for the man who could not pray.
DR.. Prime is the editor of Christian paper,
and therefore are to presume that he would
not indulge in those exaggeratons which some
times disfgure the secular press. We say we
presume that the Doctor is free from exagger-
alton, but of course we have no positive knowl-
edge on this point. Giving him, however, the
benefit of the doubt, we invite attention to the
following concerning the pious dog;
cit required extraordinary care to keep him
at home. Shut up in a room he dashed through
a window and was at church before the family.
He was once shut up in an clubhouse that had
no floor. He dug out under the sill of the door,
and was at church before the first psalm was
sung. In church he occupied the upper step of
the pulpit within which his master ministered.
He lay quiet during the service unless other
dogs below misbehaved, in which case he left
his seat, and after quieting the disturbance re-
sumed it. He was equally devoted to the week.
ly PRAYER meeting which was held from house
to house, the appointment being announced on
the Sabbath. He remembered the evening and
the place, and was always present. AS it was
not agreeable to have dog at an evening meet
ing in private house, he was confined at home.
The next week he went early before the fami-
ly had thought to shut him up, and waited for
the hour and the people. He knew the names
of the families where the meetings were held,
and where they lived, and could have gone to
any of them on an errand as easily and cor
recty as child And the only knowledge he
had of the place of meeting he got as the others
did, by hearing the notice on Sunday. These
habits of the dog were not the fruit OF educa-
ton. On the contrary, pains were taken to
prevent him from indulging his religious pre-.
ferences He did not manifest fondness for
other meetings or for any individuals out of
the family circle, except those whom he recog-
nized by their habit Of praying as the people
in whom he was especially Interested"

BUTTER IN FRANCE.-If our dairymen reed
spur, an eye opener, a lesson which speaks vol
umes in three words, here is one at the head Of
this article. Butter is actually brought from
France and sold by the New York Dealers
And this is thus because there is an actual
scarcity in the market of good butter put up in
attractive shape for small consumers. When
we know that one dairyman gets $1.15 pound
for his product, another ST and another rs cents
the year round, at his dairy door, it is easily
seen that it will pay to bring butter across the
ocean from France, if it is only good and shape
ly enough to suit the fastidious purchasers who
will have something nice whatever it may cost.
All this butter is made from choice cows, choice
ly fed on clean sweet food the milking is done
in the cleanest manner. The milk is handled
as carefully as though twas nectar; the cream
is churned with utmost care by clock and ther-
mometer, the butter is worked with skill, and
is made up in shapely cakes, which do not re-
quire to be cut when brought to the table
Compare then, this cake-hard, golden yellow,
sweet, fragrant and tempting to all the senses
with an unsightly chunk, which is cut out of
greasy keg, and smells of old age and rancid
ity, and is made from i'll kept cream from cows
ilthily lodged and earelessly milked, and is
churned any how, and the difference is amply
accounted for.-N. Y. Tribune

ANOTHER SCENE IN MAX ADELER's CHURCH.
Ours is the most exciting church on he conti-
nent We had hoped to conduct the services
in quietness after the last demonstrat ion of our
deaf member, Mr.. Collamore, but we were dis
appointed. Young Shocks came to church last
Sunday with Miss Jones, and his pet terrier
dog came with him and settled on the floor Of
the pew. Shocks at first thought he would send
the animal home, but he didn't like to make a
fuss in church, so he let it remain. Miss Jones,
however, did net know that the dog was there.
When they stood up to sing, the dog leaped
on the seat Immediately behind Miss Jones,
and when she sat down her whole weight came
upon the terrier. She gave loud scream and
leaped to her feet, while the dog barked, and
bit at her, and Shocks in loud voice ordered
him to be quiet. There was instant confusion
in the church, and old Mr.. Collamore misun-
derstanding the cause of it, raised cry of fire
and rushed from the building. A panic en-
sued, and the congregation made for the door.
A moment afterward an engine arrived, and
in a minute it had three-inch stream playing
through one of the windows on the hindmost
of the congregation. By the time there were
two inches of water on the floor of the church
the matter was explained and the engine went
home. The damages will amount to bout $780,
If Collamore is not suppressed, we shall give
up our pew and resign.

OLD TIMES.

There's beautiful song on the slumbrous air,
That drifts through the valley Of dreams;
1t came from a cline where the roses were,
And hopeful heart and bright brown hair
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft eyes of azure and eyes of brown,
And snow-white foreheads are there;
A glmmering Cross and glittering Crown:
thorny bed and a couch of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets of prayer.
A breath of Spring in the breezy woods,
Sweet watts from the quivering pines
Blue violets' eyes beneath green hoods,
A bubble of brooklets, scent of buds,
Bird MARBLES and clambering vines.
A rosy wreath and a dimpled hand,
ring and sighted VOW
Three golden links of broken band,
A tiny track on the snow-white sand,
tear and sinless brow.
There's tincture of grief in the beautiful song
That sobs on the slumbrous air,
And loneliness felt in the festive throng,
Sinks down on the soul as it trembles along
From cline where the roses were.
We heard it first at the dawn of day,
And it mingled with matin chimes,
But years have distanced the beautiful lay,
And its melody foweth from far away,
And we call it, now, Old Times.

Es-An old citizen of Floyd county, Ia,
named Myers died on the oath ult For ten
years he has been kept by his children in a
shed on the farm, although he died at a neigh
boris house. The man was palsied, and it is
said had been starved and ill-used, and his
grandsons allowed to beat him with clubs, and
every means short of actual murder used to
shorten his life, and when dead his brutal Off
spring refused to see his corpse or attend his
funeral

Ma-"And you have no other sons?" asked
curious lady of bronzed old sea captain. ooh,

bread was meat-leastways the niggers ate
him, and as for his taste-the chief said he
tasted of terbacker." The lady walked to an
other part of the ship, and the captain smiled,
and took fresh quid of "terbacker" himself.

How SOME SOCIETY PEOPLE LIvE.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
saws that lady (?) and her husband in that
city have largely supported themselves by at
tending the receptions of Government officials
and living on the viands there provided
Breakfasting on mush and milk at their lodg
ings in fashionable part of the city they save
enough by these foraging expeditions to secure
a handsome visiting outfit, cards and gloves
But their tricks were at last found out, and the
peripatetic pair had to flee iigno1mlnlously.-:
character in "Russells Memoirs of Tom Moor"
who, on being pressed as to how he got his liv-
ing, made this frank avowal: "On Sunday l
always dine with an old friend of mine, where
l eat so much that it lasts me till Wednesday.
Then buy some tripe, which hate like the
devil, and that makes me so sick that can't
eat anything till Sunday again"

vantage of the crisis to put forth the following
advertisement:
"Wanted-Men, women and children can
find a comfortable home for life, where want
never comes, with the Shakers, by embracing

Within four days after its publication, they
had one hundred and thirty-fve letters, and
two thirds of them from young men. Each ap-
plicant has received circular with the rules

idea, but the Shakers are shrewd.

ines written on seeing lady with fashion;
lie protuberance. They have the true spirit
swift. The following is the conclusion;
When nature first produced the fair,
'Mong other things, it was her care
AS fair the form in beauty grew
To shape the back both straight and true;
Except indeed, when in a whim,
Some uncouth dwarf or monster grim,
She favors with swelling sack,
Perched high in honor on her back
But in these days of wondrous light
Taste rises in her power and might,
And disappearing natures plan,
She forms bag Of wool or bran,
And where she thinks a hump should be,
Straight in that place, hump you'l see;
The names with which the humps abound
Are full of sense well as sound
Nothing more dignifed, Pm sure,
Than Bishop Bustle, or Tourneur!
And If some sour old fashioned me
Should tartly ask, "Whars in a nameY"
We'd answer, "That cannot answer;
But, mama, the thing is full Of bran l''
Now listen to me, lady dear,
word I'd whisper in your ear;
Why be so partial to one spot
Why hump one place and Others not;
If in the hump such beauty lies,
As true friend, I'd you advise
To raise the hump on every place,
And then you'll be all over gracel
TEen if we beauties wish to find,
We need not always look behindl

Personal APPEARANCE OF JESUS CHRIST
The following is said to be a correct transla-
ton of letter written by Publius Lentulus,
President of Judea, and sent by him to the
Senate of Rome, when the fame of Jesus began
to spread abroad in the world. These are his
words:
"There lives at this time in Judea man of
singular virtue, whose name is Jes'is Christ,
whom the barbarans esteem prophet but his
own followers adore him as the offspring of the
immortal God. He calls back the I'd from
their graves, and heals all sorts Of dseas ses
with word or touch. He is tall snd we'll
shaped of an amiable, reverend as ect His
hair is of a color that can hardly be matched,
falling into graceful curls below his ears, and
very agreeably touching on his shoulders, part
ed on the crown of the head, like the Nazarite.
"His forehead is smooth and large; his
cheeks without other spot, save that of love-
ly red his nose and mouth formed with ex-
quisite symmetry; his beard thick, and of a
color suitable to the hair of his head reaching
an inch below his chin and parting ia the mid
die like fork; his eyes bright, clear and Sc
rene. He rebukes with majesty, counsels with
midness, his whole address, whether in word
or deed, being elegant and grave. No man has
seen him laugh, but he has wept free lently.--
He is very temperate, modest and wise a man,
for his excellent beauty and divine Perfection,
surpassng the children of men,

A grand bronze statue Of Gen. Winfield Scott,
has been cast in this city, from a model fur
nished from New York. Itrepresents the Cen
eral standing erect, every inch soldier in bear

easily recall. The pose of the figure is grace

face is full of character and spirit. The statue
is destined to beautify the grounds of the Sol

was exhibited to the public view on last Friday,
prior to its removal to its destination, and at.
tracted much attention.
