TIE DOG AND TIE CHURN.
A Canine Who Was Sharp, But He Had
to Perform His Task.
From Forest and Stream.


From Forest and Stream.
"Churn-dog" stories are always in order
A city man who used to live on a farm, as
so many city men did when they were boys,
sends US this: cat home on the farm we
had number Of cows, SO many that churn-
ing was too heavy task for even the men
folks. so Mr.. L. rugged up a,dog churn, an In-
cIined wheel, sort of canine treadmill. 1t
became the duty Of Ponto, large white
mastiff, to tread that monotonous Cycle,
and, notwithstanding the toothsome bit of
meat that was fastened on lath within
four inches OF his nose, he was not at all
proud of his position and responsibility. He
made several attempts to shirk his task and
twice succeeded. He got TO know when
churning day came around as well as any
one in the house.
On the morning of that day he would
loiter around the kitchen door until he:was
fed, and as soon as he heard the note OF
preparation-the bringing OF the cream
Jugs, preparing the churn, etc,-he would
mt for the woods and would not be seen
again until night. The day OF churning
was changed, and next morning a more
crestfallen and astonished dog was never
seen when he was collared and harnessed to
the beam which set the dash in motion, he
looked positively foolish. He did bis WORK,
but with lowered head and in cogitation,
evidently. Ga another occasion ne tried
another dodge. When they were about to
put him on tue wheel he ran up to his mis-
tress holding up one paw, affecting to be
lame. She thought much of the dog, and
was inclined to let him of that day. The
next instant be was seen charging over a
high fence after a neighbours cat well"
said the lady, ''if he can go after cat like
that he is able to churn" And he did, and
never tried 20 shirk his work again.

COURAGE

Though the day be dark and dreary,
Fierce the storm and rough the way
Tho thy feet be worn and weary,
And thy heart no longer gays;
Though the flowers pale and dying
Fall beneath the tempests might,
And the wild clouds, madly flying,
Veil the sky and shr0ud the light;
Faint NOT though rude winds assafl ye,
doubt not In the binding rain;
Truth and courage still avail ye-
For the sun will shine again.
Hope in this dark world OF ours
Is the light that makes It's day,
Pointing to the budding flowers,
Like an angel on our way.
Tho the storms of doubt assaillng,
And the clouds Of griefs and fears
sweep Iife's sky, its brightness velling'
Like the rain, with binding tears;
still. in darkest hours of sorrow,
Love shall conquer doubt and pain;
Faith shall point thee to tomorrow,
When the sun shall shine again.
