Of two TO one. and old shepherds state
that il was not an uncommon thing to
see the sheep and the kangaroo feeding
together upon the plains, as many

daughter of a friend of mine in Port

expressing herself in intelligent sem

thing for which her mamma had to re-

a sound lecture and then told her to go

God to forgive her for her error.

to see the baby come down stairs again,

back with a great deal of seriousness.

Besides this affection, which made life a
burden to Mccarthy, he was also subject
to fits Of temporary Inconsistencies, and
could go nowhere without an attendant.
He consulted the best medical talent in the
country, but could obtain no relief, and
the possibility OF death came to be, to
him, not an altogether unwelcome contin-
gency. Some one advised him to see
Father Adams, and more with u spirit Of
resignation than hope he called On the
priest. He was informed that there was
no certainty of a cure, but that If he
would put his entire trust in God it might
please him to hearken to his prayers.
At the foot Of a little altar in the back
room Father Adams and Mccarthy prayed
fervently. Then the suppliant was rubbed

believes that the Almighty is pleased to
bless his efforts In behalf OF suffering hu-
manity. When the hotel keeper arose
