DR.. TAlM4GE's NEW HOME.
He VIII Lease 1t For the Present ana

Although DR.. Talmage has bought a
house in Washington and purposes &c
have all his household goods moved
presently to that city, it is not likely
that he will quit his present quarters at
the Arlington within the year. DR.. Tai
mage has taken Mrs Ann Coles old
home at 14001a Massachusetts avenue.
1t is one of the Oldest houses in that
part of the city and adjoins the newer
annex now occupied by Assistant Secre-
tary Hamlin of the treasury.
DR.. Talmage will take the larger
house, which will be furnished through
out with his own effects, except his IL
brary, which has already been installed
at the Arlington, and in this condition
it will be leased for year. There is a
large amount of beautiful and valuable
material that DR.. Talmage has collected
in his journeyings, especially in the far
east, many handsome rugs and carvings
and quite collection of pictures. These
will all be placed in his new Washing
ton home
Mrs. Coles furniture will be sold at
auction next Tuesday, and she will take
up her residence temporarily at another
of her houses, after which she may go
to Brooklyn to spend the balance OF the
winter with her brother, Hon. Horatio
King, who will occupy the Talmage
property, for which Mrs. Coles Wash

A DOG THAT REASONED.
he Knew When 1t Was Safe to Sleep on
His Masters Bed.

| His Masters Bed.
No one that knew Bombsheu ever
doubted that he reasoned and thought,
but casitnally would find stranger
who was rot inclined to believe it, and
then | would tell him the following
story My parlor was a front casemate
which opened by an arch into my bed
room, a back casemate. A casemate
may be described as room in the wall
of a fort, generally intended, i'll war
time, to hold gun or powder, while IN
time of peace many of them, like mine,
are fitted up for use as quarters for Off
GERS and soldiers.
Bombshell had his own bed i'll the
back easement, but he preferred my bed
and would use it whenever he could. L
had tried to break him Of the habit, but
had not been successful.
One day he came in wet and muddy,
and, as usual curled up on my white
counterpane The result was awful. AS
much as I hated to do so, felt Obliged
to give him thrashing.
[ never caught him on my bed again.
He would still get on it; but, no mat
ter how quietly I came i'll, I would al
ways find him on the floor, though l
could see from the rumpled condition OF
the bed that he had been on it, and of
ten the spot where he had slept would
still be warm.
One evening I went out, leaving
Bombshell lying by the parlor stove.
Out of curiosity peeked through the
half turned Stats of my shutters and
watched him. From my position l was
able to see the whole of both of my
rooms.
For awhile Bombshell did not move;
then he raised his head and looked at
the door; finally he got up, stretched
himself, yawned sleepily, walked to the
bed, jumped up, and put his fore paws
on it. Standing in this position, a
thought struck him, and he said to him
self:
Suppose that my master hash t gone!
He will catch me and then l shall get
licking. I'll go and make certain that
he is not coming back. .
I know that he said this because he
took his paws off the bed, walked eau
tiously back to the front door, and, with
his ear close to the crack, he listened.
At last, satisfied that had really gone,
he trotted back to the bed, jumped on
it, curled up and went to sleep.
After such a clever act | thought that
he had earned his sleep, so I went away
and left him. st. Nicholas

MORAL COWARUI CE.

The most pitiful paradox in nature is
physical bravery allied with moral
eowardice Aman may be as brave as
lion when it comes to personal encounter,
where mere brute force is all that is
required, but if he has not the moral
courage to do right for the sake of
chit he is a detestable travisity on
manhood. No man need be afraid to do
right. He may avoid the consequences
of a fisticuff and still be drawer than
Caesar.
1t takes a fine sense of courage and
pure heart to be able to acknowledge an
error and endeaVor to repair a wong, and
the man who can do it deserves all the
praise from his fellow men and God will
not withhold from BIN his just reward.
If we were true to our nobIer and better
instincts temptations would not find US
so vulnerable to every assault, but too
often we are led astray by our selfish
motives.
The thing to cultivate is not so much
an iron muscle, but heart of steel, yet
sufficient to resist every temptation.
the least SIN possible is the hope of man
kind. Absence from sin is dream of
angels. Let US, thel efore, among our
resolutions for the new year, resolve,
over and above all, to try to be true to
our own better instincts and to deal
Justly with our fellow men and serve
God as becomes us, his creatures
