BRIGHT ANIMALS.

| How Jackdaw Tortured Its Setter-DoI
Companions.
Everybody who has watched animal.
closely has seen them play practica
jokes on one another The Londor
Spectator has collected some incident.
OF this sort, and relates that certain
jackdaw, whenever it found it's setter
dog companions asleep. would steal tc
them, and pull at the fluffy tasseIs OF
hair between their toes, unpleasantly
waking them up.
AT certain house tame magpie
was kept in the stable yard with two
kestrels. The kestrels were in the
habit of sitting on the sides of the
water pals that stood outside of the
stable doors. At one time the magpie
approached kestrel from behind,
seized its long tail in its beak. ierked
it violent and pushed it over into the
pail; but the kestrel afterward caught
the magpie and punished it well.
A cat expressed a dislike of q pea
cock by jumping through its spread
out tail when the bird was displaying
its beauty and exhibiting its own van
ity, to the great discontinue of the
fowl. A dog which was accustomed to
hunting rabbits showed its displeasure
when the master had shot bullinch
by going into the hedge, finding rab-
bit and bringing it to him.
Another dog which knew tame ducks
and that they were not hunted, but
had no acquaintance with the wild
ones, was much disguised when his
master shot teal, believing he had
made mistake, and would have moth
ing to do with the game. "He behaved
In exactly the same way when we shot
a black rabbit; nothing would per-
suade him that it was not cat, and he
would do no serious work for the rest
of the day." The writer tells also of
dogs that thought it beneath their dig
nifty to chase rats, except when their
masters were engaged in the sport, and
he speaks of the obvious dislike of dogs
to be laughed at.

There was once wise king who was

so far that he wanted to know the age

king greatly. He told the monarch

heard'an echo of my text in very
dark hour when my father lay diving
and the old country minister said to
him: "Mr. Talmage, how do you feel
now as you are about to pass the Jor-
dan of death?' He replied it was
the last thing he ever said II feel
well; feel very we'll: all is well"-lift-
ing his hand in the benediction, a
speechless benediction which I pray
God may go down through all the gem
erations. 1t was well! OF course it
was well.
Again, this woman of my text was
great in her application to domestic
duties. Every picture is a home pic
ture, whether she is entertaining an
Elisha, or whether she is giving care
full attention to her sick bow. or
whether she is appealing for the res
toration of her property-every pic
ture in her case is home picture.
Those are not disciples of this Shumen-
lite woman, who, going out to attend to
outside charities, neglect the duty of
home-the duty of wife, of mother, of
daughter. No faithfulness in public
benefaction can ever atone for domes-
tic negligence.
There has been many a mother who
by indefatigable toll has reared a large
family of children. equipping them for
the duties of life with good manners
and large intelligence and Christian
principle, starting them out, who has
done more for the world than MANY
another woman whose name has sound
ed through all the lands and through
all centuries.
