Power OF Example,

The great Doctor Guthrie long fol-
lowed tho custom Of most Scotch mln'
Isters IN his day-talJng glass Of
wine, hut there was IN Scotland q
poor, IgnOrcul driver, who was wise
enough to prefer total abstinence, And
oue day tho doctor rode In his cab, or
wagon, over q wild part Of the country
IN u pouring rain, When IN inn was
reached, the doctor took some whlskey
In q glass to keep OF the cold, and
offered some to the cabman "No, !
thank YOU, SIR I'm u tcctotaller,"
A very simple answered not word Of
argument, only, example don't
suppose that lac ever knew that his
refusal did any good. But the learned,
eloquent doctor remembered 1t, Soon
after, when he was called to Edinburg
and wcat round among his poor parish'
toner's, hc found that rum was the
cause Of 'tuch poverty. ilc could not
say anything to them while he took his
glass, and he thought Of tho course Of
the poor cabman. llc became u tee
totallcr, aud did what u man in his
position could do. The good done by
his sermons, addresses, books, schools
aud labors, will never be known until
the judgement. A few months ago ]
went through the ragged schools he
founded in Edinburgh for poor children
temperance homes. In four king
doms / saw no such joyful sight us that
of these ruddy-iaccd, happy ur-
chins. The cabman by his mod
est refusal to drink that day helped
to wear away habit in another that
leads only to evil, aud to start great
man in n course that was salvation to
multitudcs for whom he labored.-

Tho Black Bears Cunning.

In The Century for March, Charles
c. Ward has IN entertaining illusirat'
cd article on "Thc Black Bear" in
which he describes Bruins haunts in
Maine and Now Brunswick, relates
several hunting incidents, and depicts
Bruins peculiarities, in parts ms fol-
lows:
Ireally think that Bruin possesses
the sense of humor: at all events his
actions point that way, and there is no
doubt that he is extremely cunning and
observing. once had an English
friend visiting me, who played the
flute. He was in the habit Of march
ing up and down, while playing, near
tame bear | had at the time. The
bear had piece of stick about two
feet long, which he tossed about for
amusement. After time, he came to
handle the stick very much as my
friend did his flute. This annoyed my
sensitive friend, and in revenge he
teased the bear with uncouth noises.
Brun shifted and whined, and waited
his opportunity for delivering a tre-
mcndous blow with his paw at his
enemy, whose tall hat was knocked
completely over his eyes. He escaped
being scalped by dropping flat and roll
ing out of the reach of the bear. This
bear spent much of his time in the tree
to which he was chained, and when
climbing usually got this chan twisted
over and under the branches in most
intricate manner, but never failed to
take out every turn as he descended. A
friend who owned tame bear told me
that for a long time, he could not ac-
count for the mysterious way in which
the poultry disappeared. Observing at
different times, II good many feathers
around Bruins pole, he began to sus-
pect that the bear was the culprit.
Close watching confirmed his suspic-
ions. When Bruin thought he was
unobserved, he would seize: any unfor-
tunate hen or chicken within his reach
and devour it {; but if any one approach
ed before he could complete the meal,
he would sit upon his prey until the
