Hath dog eOnsciencei" quoth the
corporal. 81 had had this dog for sew
eral years, and had dnever, even in puppy
hood, known him to steal. Neverthe-
less, on one occasion he was very hun
cry and in the room where / was read
ing and he was sitting, there was with.
in easy reach a savory mutton chop.
was greatly surprised to see him
stealthily remove this chop and take it
under the sofa. However | pretended
moi to observe what had occurred and
waited to see what would happen next.
For fully quarter of an hour this
terrier remained under the sofa with
out making a sound, but, doubtless,
enduring an agony of contending feel
ings.
Eventually, however, conscience
came of victorious, for emerging from
his place of concealment. and carrying
in bis mouth the stolen chop, he came
across the room and laid the tempting
morsel at my feet. The moment he
dropped the stolen property, he bOlted
again under the sofa, and from this re-
treat no coaxing could charm him for
several hours afterwards. Moreover,
when during that time he was spoken to
or patted, be always turned away his
head, in a ludicrously conscience
stricken manner. Altogether do not
think it would be possible to imagine a
more satisfactory exhibition of con-
science by animal than this; for it must
be remembered, as already stated, that
the particular animal in question was
never beaten in his life.-JourRal of

A gentleman of the inquiring turn of
mind has beon amusing himself with
collecting statistics regarding the con-
sumption Of food by Parisians on fast
days and days of abstinence. 1t appears
that last Good Friday '-the Niobe of
cities" managed to consume $50 pounds
of salmon, 10, GOO pounds of cod, 5000
pounds of skate, 10000 pounds of red
herrings. 5000 pounds of shad, 5000, 900
pounds of eggs, 6,37S pounds of butter.
The allowance of fish for a population
of 100000 inhabitants is not very
large though 10000 pounds of red her
rings will go long way, especially in
producing thirst. Keepers of public
houses, indeed, must be tempted to an
irreverent parody of the coachman's
wish that it were Derby day all the year
round. They have certainly every rea-
son to wish that the fasts of the church,
if observed in this spirit, may be many
and vigorously enforced by the civil
authority. The amount of beefsteaks
consumed on Good Friday is not stated.
Ii doubtless represented considerable
amount of self-assertion on the part of
liberals" in the continental accepta-
ton of the word, though many admi-
rers of Prince Napoleon were somewhat
scandalized at the dinner-party once
given by his Imperial highness on that
day. French clerical journals take good
care to remind Prince Napoleon of his
imprudence, to call it nothing worse at
least once a year.

A Lesson of Life.

In December, 1915. in the department
of the NOsges, Xavier Thiriat, a boy of
ten, accompanied four young girls of
about the same age to the church.
They had to cross brook, over which
was placed a single loose plank. The
boy crossed safely; the first girl who
attempted it fell in. The boy jumped
in and pulled her out. and then, walk
ing in the water, guided each of the
girls across. Some time was lost by
this, aud the party reached the church
late. XaviCT, ashamed of being late,
did not go up to the stove, but kept
behind. lie reached home chilled, a
dangerous disease followed, by which
he was left a complete cripple for life;
his only mode of moving about was
on his hands and kBess, so completely
were his legs paralyzed and distorted.
Coming of very poor people, there
was every prospect that Thiriat would
be heavy charge To his family and
of this, he reached manhood bright,
cheerful, and intelligent. Reading all
the few books which be could lay hold
Of, he was soon the best educated man
in his district, and rapidly acquired ex
tensive influence, which was always
used for good. He induced the young
people to read and to study- Some
contributions TO the local newspaper
the Echo deS GOsq6S, attracted attention
and made him known, the result of
which was that further intellectual op-
pOrtuuitieS were extended to him. He
made himself a good botauist, meteor
olOgist and geOlCgist. instructed others
in these branches, and procured the
foundation of several local libraries.
lie cauid not, however, be satisfied
without achieving his complete indie
pendence and earning his support. He
obtained the position of manager of
the telegraph at a neighboring town,
was made secretary to the Mayor, be
came a favorite correspondent of sew
eral agricultural papers. and received
the highest reward of the French
Franklin SOciety'-its gold medal.
All this was accomplished by native
force of character and strong religious
feeling, under circumstances not merely
adverse, but at first sight absolutely
hopeless. \ horrible defOrmity, in
tense suffering, absence of instruc-
tion, crushing poverty-all these disa-
bilities were overcome unaided, and
this ignorant and crippled lad made
himself the light. intellectual and
moral, of his whole district.

too sophistical and dangerous for his
correspondent to read until she could
read it with him, and was ready to con-

of course, was in his salad days, when

Salisbury Cathedral a monument of
elegant soul-crushing austerity; but
years after he seriously maintained
that the successful activity of the
clergy promised nothing for the perma-
nence or prosperity of the establish
ment, unless the Church comprehen-
ded the necessity of an alliance with
Arnoldism because, "as we who know
history know" the last fifty years be-
fore the Reformation were full of just
the same superficial activity and i'm

nasteries. came in, and that many chur-

steam Boating ON the Boz phorus.

a London newspaper correspondent
writes 81 have in my time journeyed
dinnerward on Christmas day in great
many different vehieleS-in broughams,
in omnibusses, in dog carts. in wagons,
in Venetian gondola and in Cana
dian sleigh, in u Hanson cab and in a
compartment of the Metropolitan Dis
trict Railway; but | do not remember
to have ever yet availed myself of so
queer conveyance as that which took
me to Therapia on Christmas day.
There was nothing abnormal, it is true,
in the build of the steamer. There was
nothing at which to be astOnisbed at
the Turkish name painted on her stern
or the Turkish characters inscribed on
her funnel. or the invOeatiOns to Allah
in Arabic characters which decorated
a kind of tea-tTay on the tatfrail abafts
The oddity of the vessel was comprised
in the cargo which it carried. 1t was a
human Noah's ark, and one of the very
strangest Kind that your Imagination
could eOnjure up. There was hurri-
cane deck covered with an awning, as
on board the American river steamers
and beneath that main deck, three
first and second class saloons, couple
of harems for Turkish lady travellers,
and there were side cabins, holding
from four to eight passengers each,
these last were not uncOmfOrtably fit
ed with divans, on which you could
curl up you legs, enjoy the universal
cigarettes-the use of chibOUks and
Hdghiies is every day growing rarer at
COnstantinOple-and revel in the pros
pect of the beauties of the BOsphOrus,
the cabin windows forming admirable
picture frames, and providing you with
a continually recurring series of tab
leaux seemingly freshly drawn from
the sketch book of a David Roberts
Haag. Ever and anon a discreet tapp-
ing would be audible at the cabin door,
and then there would enter to you
gentleman in rags who sold lOlipOps or
pieces of pie crust-the amount of

sunset by the 0smanlis is as astOnish-
ing as it is alarming-Or gentleman
more than half naked who sold news
papers, or a vender of lemonade, or
fruit, or boiled chestnuts, or dried figs, |

average of about five farthings apiece.

Where do Robins go In winter:

Toward the middle or latter part of
September. generally, the robin, which
has heretofore been merry and jubilant
in song, becomes silent and finally dis
appears. If the weather continues cold
he remains away, but the first warm,
bright day brings him and his COM
rades out in force. And 'they make
hay while the sun Shines by devour-
ing all the worms and insects they can
find, which leaves no time for any thing
but satisfied ehirp now and then. The
amount that a robin will eat in day is
something remarkable; for it is esti-
mated that he ingests more than forty
one per cent. of worms Cor insects) more
than his oWa Weight, besides gravel and
water.
But where does he secrete himself
during the interval between his leaving
and reappearing7 His favorite resort
is the thick growth of high brush in
some low lands or swamp. Here he
remains in very quiet state, seeking
for what food he can find, and waiting
for the warm days to come when he
can fill his empty NAV. The two or
three notes that he utters are feeble
and lonesome.
Later in the season the robins con-
gregate in flock, and either retire south
or remain in the swamp woods until
the spring.
As they move from place to place
during the night, or very early in the
morning, their sudden appearance and
disappearance is accounted for.

New York roet-Lanps in 1897 and
1876.

Sit appears that in the seventeenth CEN
tury, when the city of New York was
but little more than a village, there
was for long time no system of light
ing the streets. On dark nights, each
citizen who ventured out of doors was
expected to provide himself with Ian
tern; and at long intervals one might
see a lighted lamp hung in front of the
door of some wealthy citizen.
1t was not until I697 that the alder
men were charged to enforce the duty,
that every seventh householder in
the dark time of the moon, cause
lantern and a candle TO be hung out of
his window on pole, the expense to
be divided among the seven families"
This was probably considered an ex-
cellent way of street lighting at the
time. But what a change would one
of the aldermen of 1857 find, could he
now follow on some moonless night the
double line of gas lamps extending
from theBattery to Fordham,a "a distance
of fifteen miles! Who would not like
to accompany him as he silently passed
over the well paved way, once SO wild
and swampy, and to see his astonished
gaze as the long lines of lighted lamps
revealed tall fronts of stately marble
stores and brown stone houses; and on
through the beautiful Central Park.
and-still further, over well made roads
out into the open country beyond it,
vet still within the .city's limitsf Do
you think that the ancient alderman
would recognize in the great new, city
the quiet village that he once knew
and loved f-St. Nicholas. /,

Charles kingsley's Constitution.

Kingsley's muscles and senses were
far more vigorous than the rest of his
constitution: looking only to his
strength, he was fit for an athlete;
looking only at his temperament, he
was filter for q monk. His brain, or
his personality, as we may choose to
phrase it, was steadily on the side of
the robust and active element, but was
never impervious to the other. Hence
all who were really intimate with him
were struck by the union of the most
exquisite tenderness with manliness
that often seemed aggressive. Hence,
too, his personal prediction for mys-
teal writers, even when he felt bound
to protest against what he thought
their demoralizing quietism. Hence,
too, one is tempted TO guess, an impulse
to complete his conversion by renounc-
ing his love, an impulse which may
have been the stronger because the
sense of unwOrthiness, which is to be
found in all true lovers, was very
strong in him. 1t is hard not to suspect
some personal animosity in his repro
baton of Interpretation ofweddedlov
for himwas the onedamning sin ofwhich
asceticism. Another consequence of
kingsley's constitution was extreme
intellectual impatiece. The importu-
nate muscular energy which made
mental application in itself penance,
became comparatively manageable by
by the help of tobacco, which he
learned to prize at Cambridge, though
we find that when he had long been
hard working country parsOn he cOnld
not work at writing when the weather
nterfered with energetic exercise. But
the exuberant vitality asserted in itself
in another way-he threw himself read
lily into combative attitude, and con-
demned before he understood. After
reading ten lines of Palmer on the
Church, he was sure that the book was

0, ROSEBUD GARLAND OF GIRLS.
BY Mrs. JULIA f. c. DoRR.

o, rosebud garland of girls
If the whole glad year were May:
If winds sang low in the clustering leaves.
And roses bloomsd always;
If youth were all that there is Of life;
II the years brought nothing Of care and strife
1t were easy to sing song for you.
Yet o, my garland Of girls
Is there nothing better than May
The golden glow Of haryest-.iIae,
The rest Of the autumn day?
This thought give you all TO keep:
Who soweth good seed sh&n surely reap.
The year grows rich as it groweth old,
And life's latest sands are it's sands Of gold.
