He Won the Catlet

Stories Of sagacious dogs are plentiful
enough, but they always form pleasant
reading, chiefly because they are true.
Here is q dog with q conscience. He is
9 Skye terrier. The owner had q dish
Of mutton outlets for lunch. When the
repast was finished there was one outlet
still left on the dish. The gentleman
was reading the newBpaper. and appeared
to be taking no notice. The dog saw
the outlet, and his mouth began to
water. Then be smelt II It was very
nice. Doggy resolution could stand Il
no longer. The terrier seized the outlet
and bolted under the sofa. Still the
gentleman took no notice. The terrier
paused Tor moment, expecting TO re-
ceive o kick or 3 torrent ok abuse.
Nothing Of the kind. The master took
no notice. Somehow AL the flavor Of
that outlet seemed to have departed.
The onscience-stricken terrier refused
to touch il. He looked pitiEully around
for time. How could he offend 30
good master2 He would not. He
simply picked up the outlet, laid IL al
his masters feet, hung his head in shame,
and skunk away, with his whole body ex.
pressing the sentiment Of shame aa
plainly IS anything this world has ever
seen. The master did not beat that dog
but gave the outlet 10 him.

than one cigar together pacing the deck
Of the steamer, and had condoled with
each other over the shortcomings Of

we roomed together we should probably
have found even more fault with each
other. And now we were approaching
the stage IN which mutual condolences
and the comparison Of experiences were
the order Of the day.
As we neared the American shore the
conversation, not unnaturally, turned
upon that topic 50 familiar to ocean
travelers-the contents OF our various
in1pediDsentG and the steps we respect
lively proposed to take in reference TO
the approaching visit Of the Custom
House officials.
'sWell, said ], Honesty Is the best
policy, after all. Tt certainly gives the

some figures obtained of the Rev. w.
r. Irish, presiding elder of the Portage
district of the NJ. Il. church, relating
to his work as such presiding elder,
which causes it to remark that "who-
ever considers the minister's life an
easy one will find food for reflection in
said figures. In two years Mr.. Irish,
as presiding elder, has travelled %, 900
miles; preached $40 sermons, besides
delivering numerous addresses; held
about 100 quarterly conferences and
nearly as many social meetings; and
administered the sacrament of the
Lords supper nearly every week, be-
sides administering the sacrament of
baptism to quite a number, both chill
dren and adults. Then there was the
care of the churches in % circuits
and stations, involving large cores
pondence. and a general oversight of
ministerial supply. But it is to be re-
membered that Mr.. Irish is an indus
trious, zealousand self-sacrifcing man,
who will leave no want unattended to
and shirk no responsibility.
