00es II Mean Y0u ?

A man who prided himself on his
morality, and expected to be saved BY
It, was constantly saying Il am do
ing pretty we'll, on the whole.
sometimes get mad and swear, but
then I am perfectly houest. I work
on Sunday when am particularly
busy, but give good deal to the
poor, and I never was drunk in my
life. This man hired a csny Scotch
man to build fence around his pas
ture lot. Ho gave him very particu-
lar directions. In tho evening, when
the Scotchman came 10 from work,
the man said : We'll, Jock, is the
fence built, and is 1t tight and
strong T Il Gamma just say It is all
dght and strong Jock replied, but
it's q good average fence, anyhow.
If some parts are a little weak, other
parts are extra strong. I dom know
but may have left little gap here
aud there, a yard or 80 wide but
then made up for it by doubling
tho number of rails on csch side OF
tho gap. I dare say that the cattle
will find II q good fence, on the
whole. and will ike it, Joanna just
say that IL is perfect in every part. ;"
what cried the man, not seeing the
point do you tell me that you
built . fence around my lot with
weak placss and gaps In it. Why
might 90 we'll have built no fence at
all II theres one opening, or place
where an opening can be made, tho
cattle will be sure TO hnd II, and will
60 through. Don't you know, man
that o fence must be perfect, or it is
worthless !" 4 used 10 think 30,
said the Scotchman but I hear
you talk 80 much about averaging
matters with the Lord il seems TO
me that We might try it with the
cattle. II an average fence will not
do for them. I am afraid an average
character will not do in the day Of
Judgment" ~

It Is not often that we hear any
credit rendered to the cat for either

therefore pleasing to be able to re-

in remarkable manner in this ami
NAL A gentleman, writing from In
dia to friend 10 England few
months ago, says Of u pet Persian
cat Il was lolling on the sofa,
drowsily perusing tho newspaper,
few mornings ago, when Tom came
aud stood near mo, mcwing plaiu-
tive way, as il to attract attention.
Not wishing TO be disturbed, wav-
cd him of. He, however, returned
10 o minute or 30, and this ,imo jump
ed on to tho sofa, aud looking me
into the face renewed HE noise moro
vigorously. Losing patience, I rough
ly drove him away. ne then went to
the door Of an adjoining room and
stood there mewing most piteously.
Fully aroused, 1 got up and went to-
ward him. As 1 approached hc made
for tho further eorner of the room
aud began to show fight, bristllng up
and Aourishipg his tail. 1t at once
struck ME that their was an unwcl-
come visitor in the room, which Tom
wished to get rid Of; and sure
enough, 10 looking toward tho corner,

tween my legs, rubbing himself a.

The friend to whom the incident

OUn TREATIES WITH THE COMBAT
ANTS AND WITH GREAr BRITAIN--In
tho treaty between the United States
and Russia, 1854, the two parties
recognized as permenent and immu-
table the principles that "free ships
mako free goods that is to say,
that the effects or goods belonging
to subjects or citizens of a Power or
State at war are free from capture
and confscation when found on
board of neutral vessels, with the
exception of contraband of war, and
that the property on board an enemy's
vessel is not subject to confscation
unless the same be contraband Of
war. They engage to apply these
principles TO the commerce and nav
igation OF all such Powers and States
as shall consent TO adopt them on
their part as permanent and immu>
table. The last treaty between the
United States and the Ottom an EN-
pire, negotiated in 1862, contains no
such declared principles. The Wash
ington treaty. negotiated BY the
United States and Great Britain in
1871, declares that "a neutral gov
ernment is bound, first, to use due
diligence to prevent the fitting out,
arming, or equipping within its jur"

reasonable grounds TO believe is in

to cruise or carry on war as above,

such jurisdiction, to warlike use.
Secondly, not to permit or suffer
