DR.. Guthrie was equal to any emergency,
physical or otherwise. While engaged in
visiting the poor, he came one day to the
door of an Irish Catholic, who was deter
mined that the doctor should not enter his
house.
"You cannot come in here" said he J;
syou're not needed nor wanted"
"My FRIEND" said the doctor, Pm going
around my parish to become acquainted with
the people, and have called on you only as
a parishioner."
1T don't matter,' said Paddy, "you
shan come in here y and lifting the poker
he said: "If yer come in here, I'll knock
yer down."
Most men would have retired, or tried to
reason; the doctor did neither. but, draw
ing himself up to his full height, and LOOK
ing the Irishman in the face, said:
Come, now, that's too bad. Would you
strike a man unarmed Hand me the tongs,
and then we shall he on equal terms"
The man looked at him in great amaze
ment, and then said: Och, sure. you're a
q,lare man for a minister. Come inside"
And feeling rather ashamed of his conduct,
he laid down the poker.
The doctor entered, and talked in a way
so entertaining aud Instructive as to win the
man. Pat, when he rose to go, shook his
hand warmly, and said:
BE sure, sir, don't pass my door without
giving me a call"

If Darwin would change his tactics and
insist that all men were once brutes because
some men are brutes now, and that the gen.
eraliZation is a fair one, we should be in
cIined to accept his theory at once. 1t il
simply absurd to place so much emphasis OH
the hypothesis that the human race once
had tails, which tails were curtalled by
slow degrees, until at last thetpeculiarity Of
no tail was entailed, SO that nowadays no
one can truly say of a man ''thereby hangs
a tail" We say it is simply absurd to suck
at this dry orange when better>facts and ar
guments are to be had for the asking. It
would not be a great strain on the scientific
imagination to assert that, even in good So
ciety, there are human cats who Affections
ately NEW and purr at the feet Of Il rich
man andtlift the velvet from their claws
when they deal with a poor man ; and hui
man snakes, who crawl through the grass
and leave the slime of SANDER to mark Their
tracks; and human poodles and bulldogs
and ours and mules, and also clearly marked
representative OF the long-eared cross of the
last named attectionate animal with tie sa-
gacious horse. That the latter at least ex4
ist is too plain for denial.

A LESSON 0 ALL.

Look most to your spending. No matter
what comes in, if more goes out you will
always be poor. The art is not in making
money, but in keeping it; little expenses,
like mice in a large barn, when they are
many, make great waste. Hair by hair the
head gets bald, straw by straw thatch goes
off the cottage, drop by drop the rain comes
into the chamber. A barrel is soon empty
if the tap leaks but:a drop in a minute !;
when you mean to save, begin with your
mouth many things pass down the red
lane. The ale jug is a great waste. In all
other things keep within compass. Never
stretch your legs farther than the blanket
will stretch, or you will soon be cold. In
clothes, choose suitable and lasting stuff and
not tawdry fineries. To be warm is the
main thing, never mind the looks. A fool
may make money, but it needs a Wise man
to spend it. Rememberit is easier to build
two chimneys than to keep one going. Ii
you give all to back and board, there is
nothing left for the saving bank. Fare hard
and work hard while you are young, and
you will have a chance to rest when you are
old.
