Reared by industrious hands.
We dedicate thy chambers now
To serve the sacred bands
Ut family life in all its phases.
And habitudes of life's fair graces.
We bless thee from the base to comb,
And all that is within;
Stand as bulwark and home,
For Rieder and his kin;
May the Lord above us shelter thee
Against fire and calamity.

Long Green, 18th District.-The Epworth
rally at Wilson's M. f. Church last Sabbath
evening was decided success. The decora-
tons were beautiful-ferns, flowers and potted
plants were tastefully arranged. A very large
congregation gave close attention, joining
heartily in the spirited singing and manifesting
deep and pleasurabe interest in all the services.
Doubtless new impulse was given to the work
within the bounds of Long Green Circuit. Led
by the district superintendent, Mr.. ]. Howard
Flayhart, an excellent program was rendered,
as follows: Short song service, Miss Jennie
Meyers, organist; prayer, Mr.. ]. E. Dunphy (;
singing; address of welcome. Mrs. ]. E. Slade,

Howard Flayhart; song; address, Mr.. j. e.
Dunphy singing address, Rev. M. l.. Beale,
pastor; collection; solo, Mrs. j. E. Slade !;
closing address, Rev. A. r. Kelley; singing !;
benediction, Rev. Mr.. Kelley.
The addresses were earnest, practical, instruc-
tive, interesting and helpfully tending to in
spire deeper, richer experience and fuller con-
secration to the work in Christ's cause. The
service continued one hour and a-half, with
interest undated, and the people seemed 10th
to leave. Messrs. Flayhart and Dunphy may
feel assured of hearty welcome when they
come again.
Wilson's Chapter is in healthy condition
and could be much more effective if the entire
congregation would lend helping hand.

Almost human AnlmOSltys-A singular
case of almost human animosity on the part of
an animal, with human energy in displaying
the same was illustrated among the horse flesh
of Mr.. John s. Slade, of "Indian Spring Farm, "
q few days ago, says the Belair Agis. A young
mare, which had recently assumed the role of
Queen of the Walk" had succeeded in sub
DUNG all of the stock except one mule. Hav-
ing succeeded in freeing herself during the
night, she went from one end of the stable to
the other, where the mule was located, passing
five others in her passage, and opened up
hattering ram on his sides and legs with such
effect that in his struggles to escape her punish;
ment he burst the end from the stable and
severely tore his chest against the manger
Having filled his abdomen with perforations
made BY the corks on her shoes, she played
continuously on his hind quarters with such
effect as to stuff off half a square foot of his
hide, beat the muscles into jelly and left him
in wretchedly dilapidated condition. When
found in the early morning she was standing
near by paving the earth as though not yet
satisfied with the effectiveness of her work,
while the mule, contrary to all the kicking
traditions of his kind, was crouching in the
corner, apparently begging for mercy. No
bones were broken and it is hoped that the
mule still has a chance to help to make his
master living.
