Queer People of Chincoteasue.

There is little island about one hun.
dred and fifty miles down the Potomac
called ChincoteaSue. This island is in
habited by a strange race of people and
race OF the greatest ponies in the world.
The people of the island fish and grow
oysters ard are hardy, primitive race,
who fear Gcd and attend strictly to their
business. Hundreds of these wonderful
ponies roam the island, living in the
summer on the rank, coarse grass. In
the winter they subsist on seaweed and
In the spring are mere frames in conse-
quence of the diet. These ponies are
unlike any ponies in the world. They
are about IL to 1874 hands high, nearly
all sorrels or bays, and are tine bodied
and neatly limbed. They have the head
and eyes ofthe Arabian, and the SUPPOSE
ton is that originally the stock came from
some thoroughbreds that swan ashore
from some wrecked vessel. What is
most remarkable about them is that they
trot and pace fast and are possessed Of
remarkable endurance. In the spring
you can purchase good pony for SIS
and upward. The colts are not gelded
and stations predominant. When the
weather is bad and the waves inundatc
the island scores of the little fellows are
swept INTO the water and are lost

SHORT SERMONS.
SOME SUNDAY THOUGHTS FOR
PIOUS PEOPLE.

An Infdel Soldier Crime on tho Green
isie--it's Your Fault -God Now Here.
1t is common thing to hear people
say that the town they live in is q ter
rible hard place. But whose fault is
it? Yours or Gods? Where does the
responsibility belong? What are you
doing to make the place better? Are
you doing anything? If not, its condi.
ton will rise up against you in the
Judgment. When our Saviour said,
Woe unto thee, Capernaum!" He
meant that woe should come to the peo-
pie who had suffered it to become so
wicked. No man liveth to himself, and
90 man dieth to himself. If you don't
try to give life to somebody else, death
will come to you. Ten righteous men
would have saved Sodom.-Ran's
Horn.

Remains Of q Great Mastodon.

The skeleton of mastodon found at
Higate, forty miles west Of ST. Thomas.
Canada, is on exhibition in that town.
The area of the grave where the mon
ster's bones were found is thirty-five by
twenty-one feet. The bones were scat
tered over it, one joint fitting into the
other in bed of gray mari about six
feet below the surface. Over the mari is
thick layer of black, loamy soil. The
length of the animal, gagged by the
measurements of the bones already found,
and allowing for those that have not vet
been discovered, is, from the point of the
nostril to the root of the tail, about
twenty-five feet. This is greater than that
of the celebrated Mastodon giganteus
discovered near Newburg, N. Y, h the
summer of 1S45, and the skeleton, as a
whole, is larger and more complete than
any that have been found in Ken
lucky, Ohio. Missouri, California, or
Oregon.-lScientific American.

The Soldier Surrepdered.

An infidei soldier came to the meet
ing to SCOT. The truth reached him.
and for several days he was very un-
happy. One night, as he was going
home from the meeting. he felt, for the
hrst time in his life, as if he would
like to pray; but he was driven back by
the thought of encountering the SCOTS
OF his old companions. Next day he
was placed on guard, and he studied
the matter all day; but that night as he
paced his beat, he stopped and looked
up at the moon and stars, and as he
thought how beautiful they were, he
seemed to hear the words, Come to
Jesus i WILL said he; and there,
leaning on his gun, he offered his first
prayer, yielding himself to Jesus, and
resolved to bear all for His sake, and
said he, Jesus took me- He has be-
come Woodworking Christian, and his
influence is great among the soldiers"
