AN ALLEGED CURE BY PRAYER.-
The Rev. Mr.. Movety, Presiding
Elder of the Methodist Episcopal
Church for the Kingston District,
vouches for the fact that woman
who lives in Gananoquc, and who
was afflicted with a palsicd arm,
WAS made whole through prayer.
He said all The physicians in the
vicinity were called to effect cure
or help the sufferer, but their cf-
forts towards these ends availed
nothing. AS last resort she de-
Icided to pray to God for help in
her aflliction, believing firmly that
he would answer her payer. She
retired to her room and prayed
hard for two hours, after which she
felt tingHng sensation in her hand, il,
which continued to spread until she
experienced it throughout her arm.
In answer to further prayer she
heard voice telling her to make
an effort to raise her hand; she
made the attempt and saw hat she
could lift it. In response to an
other request she tried to raise her
arm, and to her surprise she could
do so with ease, touching the back
OF her head without experiencing
pain. From that day to this the
ahliction with which she had been
troubled has not reappeared, and
her arm is as we'll as ever it was
The preacher said that if any one
doubted the statement he would
furnish her name, and inquiries
could be made of herself.

AN OLD SONG ANAINzED.- .--IOu
all know the old "Sing song Of
six rcncc,' bat have YOU ever read
what it is meant for?
The four-and-tw cnty blackbirds
represent the lwcntv-four hours.
The bottom Of the pie is the world.
while the top crust is the sky that
overarches il. The opening Of the
pie is the day dawn, when he birds
begin. to sing, and surely such a
sight is fit for a king.
The king, who is represented AS
sitting in his parlor counting out
his money, is the sun, while the
gold pieces that slip through his
fingers as he counts them, are the
golden sunshine.
The queen, who sits in the dark
kitchen is the moon, and the honey
with which she rcgales herself, is
the moonlight.
The industrious mai !, who is in
the garden at work before the king
the sun--- has risen, is dav~dawn,
and the clothes she hang out are
the clouds, while the bird who so
tragically ends the song by "nip-
ping off her nose,' is the hour of
sunset. So we have the whole day,
f not in nutshell, in a pie.

of crocheting, and the mouse, which she

the table watching her by the hour, ap-
parently deeply interested. On several
occasions when the young lady laid down
her work Little Billy" would at
tempt to take up the crochet needle
and follow her motions. The thought
at last occurred to her that he desired to
learn crocheting. She procured 4 small
crochet needle and fastening It to fore

some Macreme cord to practice with. Il

An Astonishing story.

a doc belonging to the BIS. which
was a great favorite OF theirs and re-
garded a&f thoroughly irreproachable
training, was charged BY some OF their
neighbors with worrying sheep at
night. The family rebutted this charge
on the ground that the dog was fast
ened into their kitchen at night, and
and was never let out until the servants
came down in the morning.
The farmers, however, persisted that
they knew the dog well, and had seen
him going from the sheepfold, though
he had managed to escape them.
When this was Jagged so strongly as to
make it imperative on the BIS to take
some further steps, one of the daugh-
tiers volunteered to sleep in the kitchen
and watch the dogs behavior.
When they made up the young lady
bed, the dog seemed very restless and
strange, but by and by he settled down,
and all was silent.
A little after midnight he got up,
came to the bed. and shifted about I'M
til he had satisfied himselftha the lady
was not awake. Then he leaped into
the window seat. lifted the catch of
the shutters, and opened them. Then
he undid the latch of the window,
which he opened, and then disap-
peared.
After long interval he came back.
closed and fastened the window and
shutters, and finished by licking his
own feet and the marks which he had
left by springing on the floor. To the
terror of the seeming sleeper, he now
came and closely scrutinized her, but
she kept still, and he at last crept oil
to his own bed.
As soon as she heard the servants
stirring, the lady rose softly and
Slipped through the door But the
guilty dog had marked her. He sprang
up and made dash at her with most
undisguised fury, for he saw that his
secret was discovered and his charac-
ter blasted by one whom he now re-
garded as q hateful spy.
Fortunately, she got the door fast in
time and at once alarmed the house.
But the dog was now so furious that no
one dared to 60 into the kitchen, and
at last gun was brought, pointed
through an aperture, and he was shot
dead. FROM "Pentiaad ReciSited."
