INFORMING HIS FRIEND.-A Radmon-
shire (Eng) lady recently paid visit to her
father at Yorkshire, who, before she was
married, had kept two or three sheep dogs,
of which she was very fond. Since then he
has retired from business and disposed of all
but one dog. This one met the lady with
demonstrations of great delight upon her
arrival at her fathers house, and that night
the dog went distance Of seven miles to
farm house, where one Of the other dogs,
who had become blind, had been sent, and
where he was kept as an old favorite. In the
morning, when the lady went to the door,
she saw not only the dog which had given
her such glad reception the day previous,
but also the old blind one, which had evi.
dently been brought by the other dog to well
come her. When the second night came,
the old blind dog was taken back to his home
by the same dog, which afterward returned,
having travelled a distance of twenty.eight
miles to give to the old blind one the pleas
ure of greeting bis former mistress.
A CORSET LIVER Some medical stu.
dents in one of the colleges of this city, dis
sscting female subject few days ago,
found what is called in doctors parlance a
"corset liver" When tight lacing has been
practised through several years. permanent
dent or hollow is produced in the liver, which
may be seen very plainly after the woman is
dead and her liver is dissected out. This kind
of liver occurs so frequently in women that
physicians have given it the name Of "corset
liver" In the subject mentioned, the hollow
in tie liver was large enough for the wrist of
a grown man to be laid in it. Young la
dies who don't want their lvers put into the
newspapers and made an awful example Of
after they are dead had better take warning.

kingdom OF God was come nlgh. 80 soon as
Jesus died, or perhaps before he died, this
miraculous power was withdrawn, because no
longer needed. A special baptism of the
Holy Ghost they now, after the resurrection
of Jesus, needed to be able to demonstrate
that the kingdom of God had not only come
"nigh," but had actually come. They needed
special baptism for a particular work. The
canon of Scripture was not complete. The Old
Testament Scriptures were finished, but the
New Testament was not begun. The work
of organizing the Church of God in conform
ity with the "better covenant" had also to be
done. All this Jesus Christ left to be per.
formed by meu-mere men ; but men baptized
with the Holy Ghost, and consequently, fully
fitted for the task. 1t is clear to every Bible
reader, that none of the disciples of our Sa'
viour were, at the time of his resurrection, ca
pable of writing history of his life; of de-
monstrating, in any infallible manner, that
Jesus was the promised Messiah or of or,
ganizing the New Testament Church.
We are now prepared to inquire why the
risen Saviour commanded his disciples to tar
~ at Jerusalem until they were endued with
power from on high. 1t will assist US in an
swering this interesting and important in
ouiry, if we will remember that Jesus Christ
was the great high priest of whom all the
high priests, under tbs Abramic covenant, as
