fact that persiting in such a statement
would not avail him unless it were cor
roborated, said:
Have you really no means to prove
it? Did nothing occur, as you went or
that what you say is true-nO one you
met or spoke to?
NO, nothing" said Perks, NO one,
whatever, my lord
"Nor when you lay there in the ditch.
as you say, half-stunned and bleeding?'
well, yes, my LOrd," - was the reply;
"there was man passed then certain
ly."
ITO whom do you refer? Did you
know him?"
Il did not; don't know who he was,
my lord; but he was man on horseback,
and he had bady with him"
"A man on hOrsebanck, and baby
with him! What, at two o'clock on
November mOrning-cold, damp, and
fOggyi Do you seriously assert that ?"
ayes, my lord, l do; for 1 heard it
cry
aYou did,"
a did, my lord, and heard him speak
to it"
"And pray, what did you hear him
say?' asked his lOrdship, who seemed to
doubt the story told him, as did all
there.
HE said, my lord, Poor little wretch!
But it is chance, if we can do it. And
then," said Perks, "he put his horse into
a gallOp and was off"
"What was the man like?" said the
Judge, after a pause, in which incerdulity
was marked on every face in court.
Gould you see enough of him to make
out that, eh? ?"
Partly, my lord, partly" was the
prompt reply; for the rest Of the hill
dips down; and as l lay there in the
ditch, he showed against the sky; and
they were pair of 'em-a short thick
man and short thick horse"
But the statement was too wild to be
credited-and all there felt that for any
use it would be to him it might as well
have been left unsaid. In summing up,
however, the Judge briefly alluded to
this extraordinary statement by the
prisoner of the man and the baby, but
without repeating the words heard or
the assertion that the clock struck; and
he said that it would be for the jury
themselves to decide whether or not such
an assertion, unsupported by the slightest
evidence, was worthy of credence.
1t was at this particular point in his
lordship's address that DR.. Brown came
into the court. and startled all there by
his exclamation:
what that man said is true, my lord !;
the child | carried. / am Brown the
Doctor, Brown of Beaconsfeld."

Cure for Collie i'm Animals.

A correspondent of the Massachusetts,
PlOughman gives the following cure for
collie in horses, which is convenient at
all times and easily applied. He says he
has never known it to fail: Spread a
teacupful, or more, of fine salt on the
back of the animal over the kidneys and
lOins, and keep it saturated with warm
water for twenty or thirty minutes, or
longer if necessary. If the attack is Sc
we're, drench with salt water. l have a
valuable bull, weighing nineteen or
twenty hundred, which had severe at
tack of collie year ago last summer. |
applied salt to his back as above, and it
being difficult to dreneh, we put wood
en- bit in his mouth, keeping it open
about two inches, and spread salt upon
his tongue, which together with the salt
upon his back, relieved him at once, and
within very short time equilibrium
appeared fully restored. j have for sew
eral years past successfully applied this
treatment to animals in my herd
This is certainly worth trying.

ColOrs seen by candlelight
Will not look the same by day.
When the viOls played their best,
Lamps above and lamps below,
Love me, sounded like jest
Fit for yes or fit for no.
Call me false or call me free,
Vow, whatever light may shine
No man on your face shall see
Any grief for change on mine
Yet the sin is on us both;
Time to dance is not to WOO,
Wooing light makes tickle troth
Scorn of me recoils on you.
Learn to win a lady's faith
Nobly as the thing is high,
Bravely, as for life and death,
With loyal gravity.

Point her to the starry skies;
Guard her, by your truthful words,
Pure from eourtship's batteries
ByyOur truth she shall be true,

The Sunday School Convention of Allegheny
Chassis of the Reformed Church convened in

2ad inst, at $50 F. N.
The Convention organized by electing
Rev. #. F. StauGer, President, Rev J. w.
Secretary, and a Meyer, Treasurer.
Rev. w. II. Jamison of the U. p. Church

discussion.
The subjects discussed during the session
were as follows: "The Object of the Sunday
SCHOOL," 'The Preparation on the part of
Teachers and Scholars" "The Means to be
as an Auxiliary TO the Mission Work of ~
Church; :" ''rhe duty Of the Sunday School
with Reference TO the Orphan Cause )" "Duty

''Sunday School Hymoiogy."
A children's meeting was held on the 4th, at
2.30 p. NJ. Addresses were made by Revs. j.
Mcconnell, Jamison and others.
The committee on resolutions offered the
following report, which was unanimously
adopted
Resolced, That the only true aim of the
Lords Day School is to lead the children to a
conscious apprehension of the truth as it is in
Jesus.
Resolred, That, in order to reach this end,
vital union with the Church of Christ, and a
prayerful study of the Holy Scriptures and the
catechsms of the Church are essential on the
part of the teachers.
ResoIced That the Word of God, the Cate
chisms of the Church, together with such helps
as are not in conflict therewith, are the only
proper text books to be used in the Lords Day
School.
ReS0tyed That each Lords Day School, in
order to the accomplishment of its mission,
should be missionary i'll its character and work,
and that its activity in this direction should
have reference to the whole missionary work of
the Church, and the orphan cause.
ReSotGed, That it is the dlty of congregations
to support the Lords Day School both by their
means and prayers for its success in leading the
children to personal acceptance of the Saliva
ton of Christ
Resoived That the Hymology of the Lords
