Go After the Children.

When the shepherd carries the lambs
in his bosom he has little difficulty
about leading the sheep. The wo.

Saviour laid His hand in blessing did
not deny. or reject, or betray. or

to Him in life, they followed weeping
as He went out to suffer; they were
last at His cross and earliest at His
grave.

godly mother in parting from her son
as he was leaving home to enter upon
the ministy of the Gospel:
'Others may tel. you more in

One of the lady passengers who
had been looking at the ring and
whose attention was attracted by
some OF the native jewelry placed it
on the cabin skylight beside her.

4 Dcg That Would Not Allow the Garry

4 DcK That Would Not Allow the Carry
Ing on Of Anything.
More than forty years ago, In 1851,
says a writer in St Nicholas, visited
a party of friends in the Bepdigo gold
fields of Australia, where was cor
daily welcomed. Among the valued
possessions Of my friends was an En-
glish mastiff which belonged to one
of the gentlemen.
The good understanding between
myself and the mastiff appeared to
have become so we'll established dur
ing the evening That Oh the next day
left the claim where my friends
were at work to fetch kettle of tea
from the tent, without the least mis-
giving as to my reception by him.
Rex" who was always allowed to
run loose, came forward to meet me-
He allowed me to stroke his head and,
SC far as l could see, showed no inter-
est in my movements as entered
the tent and took drink Of tea. But
when started to leave the tent with
the kettle in my hand, imagine my
establishment when I saw the sup
posed friend Rex facing me, and show
ing his teeth in a very threatening
way. l put down the kettle, seated
myself on the edge of the camp bed,
and spoke to him. He wagged his
tail and looked so friendly that
thought l must have made mistake
aoout his intentions. Not at all.
The moment l attempted to leave
the tent with the kettle had reason
to know that ReX's broad grin was
no mere notion, but, on the contrary,
a real sign that he was true to his
trust as he understood it. I talked
to him again, set down the kettle,
and attempted to leave without it.
Still Rex objected. He had his
doubts, and determined to give his
masters the benefit of them.
There was no help for it; l was
held prisoner. and could do nothing
hut sit down and wait patiently for
one OF the party to come to my relief.
No one came until nearly an hour
later, by which me my long absence
had caused my friends to suspect that
l was being held prisoner by Rex. 1
bore the dog no grudge for his faith
full zeal, and in few days found he
would let me come and 60 and take
whatever l wished.

Strangely Celebrated

Peruvian widows keep up curious
celebration. On the first anniversary
OF the husbands death the widow at
tires herself in bridal garments, over
which she puts her mourning garb.
All her relatives assemble in her
house, where they execute a funeral
dance to the strains of doleful music,
AS the hour approaches when her
husband died, both the music and
the dancing assume more lugubrious
character
But as soon as the hour has passed
friend steps up to the widow and re-
moves her black mantle.
At this signal the Others come
near, dancing all the while, and re-
lievc their hostess of the remainder
or her weeds one by one, while Others
trim her hair with flowers, until at
last the widow stands there in bridal
array.
Then the band strikes up a more
lively strain, ana the whole COMPANY
join in the giddy maze. after which
they patrol the streets and end the
proceedings with a midnight carouse.
