THE BELLS OF JAPAN.

The bells of Japan are among its love-
lest possessions. One of the sweetest
of them rang out many times every day
into the waiting air, in this far-away lit
tie city. Intone it was intensely thrill
ng and pathetic. The bells ere not
sounded by clapper within, but are
struck from the outside by sort of
wooden arm, or battering-ram. Being
withdrawn to the proper distance and
released, it strikes the bell once-and
the strokes are allowed to succeed one
another only with dignified and
stately regularity. Tradition says the
finest bells have much silver in their
composition, which may account for
their deep and wonderful sweetness.
Whether this be so or not the bells
make profound impression upon all
sensitive or musical organizations, here
tofore accustomed to the more discordant
church-bells of newer civilization.
And never did the lovely temple-bell
in Shirakawa ring out so sadly and de-
liciously as one night when a great fire
laid waste portion Of the city. Thirty
or forty houses made fine blaze for
two or three hours, and we watched it
from the castle wall with pity and inter-
est. The cracking of the flames as
they licked up one little thatched roof
after another, was terribly audible; so,
too, were the helpless cries and shouts
of the surrounding crowd while the
red cinders were hurled far aloft, and
fell even around us. But through the
confusion and tumult, the calm bell
rang out it's indescribably beautiful note
in quicker succession than usual, but
losing none of its dignity and sweetness,
for all the discordant sounds so near

THE DOCS CONSCIENCE.

Sandy was shepherd dog, one Of
which any master might be proud-so
quick, bright, and cunning in getting of
the tricks that We're taught him. Sandy
and the Maltese cat were great friends.
One day Tabby brought in the house
three young kittens, whose eyes We're
just opened.
Sandy enjoyed taking them up by the
neck in his mouth, and shaking them
gently, and playing with them as the
mother cat did; and he was laughed at
and encouraged by the members of the
family.
After little, Sandy's master went
away, and was gone about three weeks.
When he returned, Sandy met him at
the gate with sundry canine manifesto
tions ofjoy.
"What about the kittens, Sandy 2"
asked his master.
Immediately the dogs happy look
changed to one Of shame and sorrow.
He dropped his head and went sinking
off, with his tail between his legs.
His master saw no more of him that
day, and at night, inquiring for him,
was told that he was out by the wood
pile, lying i'll.
Then it came out that Sandy had
killed all the kittens.
1t seems, as they grew older, they
did not like his familiar ways, and they
would scratch him; and one after an
other, as they did this, he bit them and
dispatched them, and they were buried
in the garden under one of the apple
trees.
When Sandy found that he was not to
be punished for his wrong doing, he
recovered, and was soon his old frol;c-
some self.
