DOG AND CAT COOPERATING. "A
gentleman informs us that he was in
New Hampshire last Summer, when
the following incidents came under
his observation. The mer were
moving in the field, and accompany
ing them was large Newfoundland
dog, which watched the operations
and saw some moles in the grass.
The dog caught several digging for
them and illing thsm. All at once
the dog disappeared and was gone
for some time. Looking up the
field in the direction of the farm
house, our informant saw the dog
trotting down toward the men, and
by his side was trotting the house
cat, the nearest cordiality always ex-
listing between the two animals. The
dog brought the cat directly to the
swath. and soon pussy knew what
was up. As soon as mole was
started she caught and killed him,
and when one retreated to hole,
the dog scented and dug him out,
the Cat in this case killing the mole;
and SO the dog and cat hunted to-
.gethsr for quite a time, until they
wearied of their sport. We suppose
we shall be told that instinct gov
erned the animals, and tina. they
had no language in which to COM

How Mr.. Singer won Il Bible.

Two young preachers, rivals in
the ministerial profession, met on
the street, recently, when Mr.. Sling
er. the Methodist, remarked to Mr..
Billings, the Baptis':
Good morning, Brother Billings.
how do You feel since your labor of
Sunday: :"
Flrst-rate. l had n large audi
nee, and it makes me feel good to
.Alnk that the people are turning
from their ways OF wickelness.
There was time in Little Rock
when, if minister could group to-
gether 100 people, he was doing well.
Yesterday had 800, Which, consid-
ering the number of our churches,
is remarkable. | am sorry to learn
that your church is not getting
along we'll.
"How do you know that my
church is not getting along we'll 2"
asked Mr.. Singer.
"Oh, well, 1 hear SO from anthem

* That's all right" continued Mr..
Singer; let that go for what il is
worth. 1t is, of course, inconsistent
with our pro ession to bet, but waiv-
ing for moment the requirements
of our divine calling, I'll bet you a
Bible that I had "a larger conSrega-
don on Sunday than you did
"The requirements Of the divine
calling shall, for the moment, he
waived. notwithstanding the fact
1T lam a preacher, l remain hui
man being all the same, and do not
propose to b. bull-ragsed. Come
on and put up your Bible"
The two preachers went into a
hook store, selected Bibles. and
called up deacon as witness"
Well" said Mr.. Billings, my
congregation last Sunday numbered
400. know this to be a fact, for /
hired the sexton 20 count the peo-
pic"
Ny congregation was 500" re-
marked Singer, with a confident
| air.
Did you count emp
"No."
"Well, how do you know? Why,
your little church won't hold tina t
many"
''That's all right. I had a con-
;,rosation of 500. Not q man got up
and left. There was not the slight
est disturbance, and the three wo-
men who were present behaved
themselves.
