Tho Weather.

Were we to have bad and sunless
weather continuously, what discon-
tented set of mortals we should be!
How we grumble and complain over
a few days of rainy weather as though
sent on purpose to spite and annoy
US. How seldom can single person
be found who is at all satisfied with
the weather? And yet in spite and
in fear of all our discomfort, grum-
blings and wailings, storm and 1lnc
weather continue to alternate, ana
doubtless will until the end OF time.
The truth is, we should not complain
about the weather at all, or very sell
dom, and accept the bad and good
weather graciously. Were we to
have nothing but fine weather we
should tire of the very sunshine, and
beg for the darkness to come to us us
q relief from overmuch light and
splendor. The cultivation of a COLI
tented spirit even amid storms and
darkness is of the first Importance
to all. Habit is mighty, and if we
cultivate good habits of thought ana
conversation we cannot help leading
pleasant and profitable lives. On the
other hand, falling into the habit OF
complaining and grumbling over every
little mishap or unpleasantness OF
life, is most disastrous to ones hap
piness aud peace of mind. So, by cul-
tivating pleasant and cheerful spirit
we can "make sunshine in the shady
place." and in a measure bid a KIND
of defiance to the lighter and annoy
ing ills of life, that are so irksome TO
most of mankind. Is it not worth the
trial? AS the New testament says
II have learned, in whatsoever state
I am, Herewith to be content."-

TIL BEsTE ANTI-PovERTY SOCIETY.
The best anti-poverty society would
be one that should teach the elements
of economy to thriftless peoyle. More
than half the miseries of penury are
the direct result of mismanagement,
Until people can be taught that there
are one hundred cents in dollar, and
that each cent has a specific value, and
that work is the law of living which
we can not shirk, the experience of the
philanthropic will be repeated that it
is impossibleto effectively help by SIM
ply giving.

The First Tangle.

Once in an Eastern palace Wide
A little child sat weaving;
so patiently her task she piled.
The men and women at her side
Flocklng round her, almost grieVing,
"How Is it, little one," they said,
"You always work so cheerily?
You never seem to break your thread,
Or snarl or tangle IL, instead
or working smooth and clearly.
"Our weaving gets so worn anu soilea'
Our silk so frayed and broken;
For all we've fretted, wept and toiled,
We know the lovely patterns spoiled
Before the king has spoken"
The little child looked in their eyes
SO full Of care and trouble;
And pity chased the sweet surprise
That filled her own, as sometimes flies
The rainbow in bubble.
81 only 60 and tell the king"
She said, abashed and meekly;
"You know he said in everything"
sWhy, so do we !" they cried 1--WE bring
Him oil our troubles weekly"
She turned her little head aside;
A moment let them wrangle;
"Ah, but" she softly then replied,
81 90 and get the knot united
At the first little tangle"
O little childen-weavers all
Our broidery we spangle
With many tear that would rot fall,
II on our King we would but call
At the first little tangle.

Daniel La Fort testified before the legisla-
tive committee recently that the Onondagas
burned no white dog this year, because the
Indian breed had run out. He told ME soon
after the feast, which occurred as usual,
minus the dog, that it was a sacred breed,
and no others could be used; and think none
was burned last year. OF course, this is par
TALLY an excuse for letting the custom die
out, as Indian dogs could be procured from
other Iroquois if SO desired The feast has
fallen into decay, though its observance in
some ways will continue while longer. The
presumption is that some intelligent Indians
are assisting in its gradual disuse. This
decay has been quite marked in this genera
tion. Forty years ago two dogs were
burned; twenty years ago, but one, but this
was on blazing pile outside the council
house. Five years ago they opened the top
of the council house stove and dumped the
dead victim into that. Now there is no dog
at ALL The last feast attracted some anti
auarians from a distance, who were much
disappointed at the Hamlet" with
Hamlet left out-but there was no remedy.
The dog had had its day.
It is customary to call this an ancient feast
and to suppose it identical with the white
dog feast Of the Senecas, which it much re-
sembies have before now pointed out the
differences, one of the principal of which is
the time at which the dog is killed With
the Senacas this was at the beginning of the
principal feast day, and it remained hung
up until the fifth, when it was taken down
and burned Among the Onondagas the
killing and burning were always on the same
| day. The Onondagas had such a sacrifice
but once year; the Senecas, on any i'm
| portant occasion, sacrificing several dog.
| during Sullivanis invasion in 1719. With
them the custom seems but little over a cen
| tury old, the Onondagas adopting it later
while the other nations may not have had j
| at all. At least 1t has been described only
| in these two, and that but at a late day. Tn,
| Onondagas simply added a striking rite Il
4 their earlier dream feast, which had the pc
1 riodical observance of the later dog feast
| That they had it from the Senecas seem
reasonable, but whence the latter obtained
is not so clear. 1t may prove late out
growth of earlier customs, dogs flesh havinI
been always highly esteemed by the Indians
Unknown. apparently, to the French mis-
sionaries, it is already among the things tha
have been. In very short time the othe
rites of the feast will disappear, as feast
themselves have been dropped. recentl
