A Dogs Vanity.


 An old setter once displayed such vanity that it was immediately seized upon to com pei him to obedience. He would follow the members of the family, whenever they went out, no matter how troublesome his presence might be.
 One day the children tied ribbon-bow on the tip of the dog's tail. Everybody laughed at his comical appearance, which so mortified the poor setter that he retired under the sofa and sulked for an hour. The next day the family were going to croquet party and the dog seemed bent on accompanying them.
 It occurred to one of the young ladies of the party to try the effect of ribbon-bow. It was tied on his tail and heimmediately rushed into the house, and hid under the sofa. When they returned he was on the doorstep, sitting on his launches as ifconcealing some thing, and refrained even from wagging his tail, lest the hated bow should be seen.

No death haA 8rcdfred in this family of eight children and the youngest is 39 years old. The method recently adopted by the Con- gregational Sunday School in this place, by which each member of the school was to give one penny for each year of their life to the American Miseiqnary association brought out the following facts and statistics which have been compiled by our statistician: The school numbers 300. The aggregate age of the members of the school is 15, 800 years The average age is 31-years.
 There are four members over 30 years old. 1S between 70 and 80.
 29 between 60 and 70.
 5 between 50 and 50.
 70 between 40 and 50. 64 between 30 and 40.
 5 between go and go.
 1s7 between 10 and 3G 72 less than 10 One class of fifteen ladies whose aggregate age is 1 ,O9O years, the average age T2 2-3 years, is as regular in attendance as any class in the school. One teacher S2 years old, iv- ing two miles from church, has not been ab- sent from his class more than three or four times in twelve years. Another teacher has not been absent from his class in eight years, or from school in ten and one-half years, and still another teacher who has been absent only five times in ten years. One lady 84 years old, living two miles from church, has been absent but twice in a year. Another lady 79 years of age, living over mile from church and obliged to walk, is very seldom absent. There several other teachers and scholars who have not been absent in | two or three years If there is Q school in the country that can show greater average | age we should like to hear from it. | Miss Jennie D.
