have been much warmer than on the
NOW that night, but those were strange
| horses and ore of them kicked at him
that night as he passed through the
stable, so Benny dared not attempt to
get very near.
He came down from the NOW all
covered with snow the next morning.
a pail of milk was standing on the barn
floor. where the farmer had left it for 4
few minutes while he gave the cattle
some fodder.
Benny stole drink, and hurried
away.
He was much discouraged; he was so
hungry. he was just starving. he
thought: be had frozen one ear the night
before and he d ;dn t seem to get down

from the time he ran away he was seen
TO walk up the gravel path leading TO
DR.. Grey's stting-roOm door.
He was ashamed to 90 in. What
would Charlie say; he looked worse
than he ever did before?
He sat on the step for a minute or
two and then began to cry p;teouSly.
The doctor himself opened the door.
"Oh. no" was all he said as Benny
walked past him into the house. Charlie
jumped up from the hearth-rug. and
huggad him, calling: why, Benny,
where have you been? | thought had

His mother came running to meet him
and commenced purring loudly, and
walked up to DIR. Grey, who stopped
and patted her, then she sat down BY
the stove and called Benny and began
to wash his face, just as she did week
before, and Benny submitted without
any fuss this time Soon Mrs. Grey

A CUNNING HORSE.
A Miscellaneous Colt Which Could Do Many
Remarkable Things.

A Miscellaneous Colt Which Could Do Many
Remarkable Things.
Did you ever own a nice horse, who
eye seemed to have laugh in it? Let
me tell you about such 2 one. She was
as black as Jet; she had a white star in
her face, and a white stocking on her
left hind foot. She was round and
plump, and very quick i'll her motions.
She could trOt, rack, pace and run, and
under the saddle was Il charmer. Her
name vas Julettc. As i colt she took
the lead in mischief.
She could unite a bOw-knot. even
when the end of the strap was put
through the bough and drawn up
tightly. But she WAS not so foolish as
to do this when there WAS no occasion.
But omit feeding her when the other
horses were fed, and then step ont of
the barn for a few moments; suddenly
return, and she would be- found united,
and in stall with anothc" horse. help
inc herself to his grain She had three
associates. whom .he led into mischief
in the night. She would open the hara
door. which was fastened with a hook
and staple; open the ba n-yari gate by
drawing out the pin that held it. She
would let down tn bars with her teeth.
and lead her three trusting companions
into the grain field. There they would
be found in the morning while she bad
returned 10 the barn before the BOYS
were up. She hal such an innocent
look when she had been on these excur-
: oas that it would call forth ones adj
miration. When | rode her to bring
back the colts she seemed TO know what
we were after. She would 90 quite di-
II, to where those wicked colts coula
be found, and we would chase them
home in Il hurry.
One night Il mysterious noise was
heard ut the barn. HorSc-thieves were
not unknown. and, as we had the best
horses in the neighborhoOd, great
Anxiety was felt. Father drew himself

not the patience to endure more of it.
The fact is, that some few believers are
of a gloomy constitution, or are in
peculiar trial, or have declined in grace,
and these are sorely sad; but the rule
remains that the way of Goodness is the
way of peace. and he that labors to be
holy is in the road to being happy. The
excuse made by ungodly men that re-
ligion would make them miserable. is
so bad an excuse that it is worse than
none. To excuse our rebellion against
God by slandering His people and libel

Where to Treasure Up the Living Message
of God.
But, although you must hold the
Bible in your mind and in your memory
all will be of little use until You hide
it in your heart: and that can only real
~ be done by loving it, and living it
because it is really message, sent to
you from your Father in Heaven. Sup
pose that when one of you boys grows
up into manhood, he leaves his home,
and goes out to Australia and New
Zealand, and becomes a sheep-farmer,
Is many young men do. He is a good
son. we viii say, and loves his mother,
and feels very much parting from her;
but he knows that she will write before
long. and tell him all that is going en-
i'll the old country, and give him ad
wee, and assure him of her unalterable
affection. And so she does; and after
time (fOr the post is not quite so regu
lar thee ont in the bush as it is with us
in LOndon) the letter reaches the young
man. Now YOU all know how he will
value it and treasure it; how he will
read it over and over again, and carry
it about with HIM on his travels, until
it becomes at last yellow and worn at
the edges, and is almost ready to drop
to pieces with age. And you all know
why this is. 1t is because it is mes
sage from ohu who loves him, and
whom he loves. And he does not read
the letter because it is his duty to do so,
but because it is his pleasure also.
Now. my dear children. if the Spirit
of God has taught You and me that the
Bible is really letter to us. full of
kinl messages from the Saviour who
loved us. and gave Himself for Us, YOU
may depend upon it. we shall not read
it mercy because we ought, but because
it is a delight to Us to do so - or IN other
words, We shall "hidc it in our heart."

Human Endurance.

1t is an acknowledged fact that man
possesses the power of endurance to a.
greater degree than any of the lower
animals. Professional pedestrians have
been known to walk an average of one
hundred miles per day for six consecu-
tive days, which would be wonderful
accomplishment for a horse, and sur
pass all the known records of that use
full animal. OF course 4 man possessing
the power of endurance TO its fullest
extent must be in perfect health. One
who is troubled with weak urinary and
digestive organs, whose pulse is irregI-
lar, whose heart palpitates, and who
feels a sense of brrdeasome fatigue
after the least exertiOn, would be very
unwiSe to compete in a pedestrian
contest. Should you suffer from
want of endurance, you can regain 70
bust health and strength by using DR..
GUYSOTT'S YELLOW DOCK AND SRRSA-
PARILLA. This remedy has saved thou
sands of weak, nervous, debilitated,
rickety head-aching mortals to lives Of
usefulness and the full enjoyment of

etc, and assists nature in controlling
ard supporting q harmonious routine
of bodily functions, so essential 20

Oh, not alone on GeriZ.m,
Or Zion : holy hill,
Where once they sought with groupings din
Mid altar smoke and choral hymn,
Thy rccOnciled face.
We worship Thee. . Thou who art
The God of Israel still.
The Temple veil i rent apart,
oh mystery OF grace.
In every Eumb.c, COntrite heart
Thou hast Thy dwelling place.
Above the citys towers and spires,
Outlined against the sky,
a maze Of network run the wires,
Alert with strange electric fires,
And to and fro they bear
Their messages. So from below
Up 10 the throne on high,
More potent than these currents, go
The subtle lines of prayer,
And every breath of JOY or woe
Is heard and answered there.
Oh. power divine to mortals given,
Oh. Wondrous telephone.
Though al our hopes of earth are riyen,
We hold communion still with Heaven,
And know beyond il fear
That all things seeming good or i'll
Shall work for good alone
To him who loveih God. who still
With loyal heart doth hear
The voice that maketh known His will
To every listening ear.
