The DeacOn's Dog.

A good story is told Of the presence
OF mind of New Hampshire deacon
who was very fond of dogs. He had
one valuable setter that he had trained
himself, and that understood his every
word and slightest gesture with an al
most human intelligence.
One evening at a prayer meeting the
good old man was offering an earnest
exhortation and the people sat with
bowed heads, giving earnest attention.
The audience faced the stand where
sat the pastor; the doors opened on
either side. All at once one of
the doors, which had been left ajar,
was pushed open, and the handsome
head Of the deacon's tavorite setter
was thrust in. The head was followed
by the body, and the dog in toto had
just started with a joyful bound to-
ward his master.
The deacon generally knew what
was going on about him, whether he
was praying or shooting, and the first
movement Of the intruder attracted
his attention. Quick as flash the
deacon, raising his hand with a warn
ing gesture, exclaimed Chou hast
given us our charge; help us to keep
it." At the emphasized word, so well
known to his canine ear, the handsome
brute stopped, as if shot, on the very
threshold of the door, with his intelli-
gent eye fixed on his master.
In the same unmoved tone, with a
slight wave of the extended hand /:
eve would not return back to Thee
with our duty on earth unfulflled."
Again the perfect training of the dea-
cons Pet was made evident, for with
out whimper he turned as noiselessly
as he had entered, and remained quiet
ly outside until his master appeared

gives his testimony, that st, Jacobs Oil is
the best remedy in the world for rheuma

etc. 1t is the remedy for fishermen and
