The Fox Terrier.
From the Home Magazine.

From the Home Magazine.
The fox terrier is the most intelligent
of all the smaller breeds, and there is
hardly a trick that he can not learn in a
very few lessons. He is usually healthy,
makes the best kinds of watchdog, and
his ability to catch and kill rats and other
vermin is a household story.
In symmetry, size and character the dog
must present a generally gay lively and
active appearance. The terrier. like
the fox hound, must on no &C
count be "leggy," nor must he be
too short in the leg. He should stand like
a cleverly made hunter. covering a lot Of
ground, yet with short back, as before
stated. He will then attain the highest de-
gree of propelling power. together with the
greatest length of stride that is compatible
with the length of his body. Weight is not
certain criterion of terriers fitness for
his work general shape size and contour
are the main points; and If a dog can gal
it matters little what his weight is to a
pound or so. Though. roughly speaking.
II may be said that he should not scale
over twenty pounds.

Sweeper's Gratuities.
From the Dundee Advertiser

From the Dundee Advertiser.
A city merchant used to give an old
crossing sweeper sixpence every Saturday.
One day he discovered he had given him
half a sovereign by a mistake. So he
hurried back to the crossing. The sweeper
said in reply to a question: "Win you
come, sir. after 4 o'clock to this address,
and l will see If you right about the
COIN"
The merchant did So and +. nd a small
Office and two clerks busy at work. Pres
entity the sweeper appeared. but oh, so
altered. He was dressed neatly and looked
a business man."
''Oh, yes" he said to the astonished
merchant, you were correct Our receipts
today were about 10 shillings more than
usual. so here is your half sovereign" AS
the merchant left the Office, vowing he
would never give to the rogue again. the
sweeper called after him. You've for
gotten your usual sixpence, sir"

rangement of the separate books they
appear in our English Bible?
Answer. Some have thought that while
the books were written at various times by
different authors their collection and ar
rangement in a single volume was Provi-
dental. There is this ground for such
opinion, that as they now stand they con-
stitute symmetrical whole, the parts fit
ting together as If by design, the New Tes-
lament being natural expansion and COM
plement of the Old Testament. Moreover.
the historical, doctrinal and prophetical is
the natural order of all truth-first that
which is, second that which ought to be,
third that which shall be- The Book, as
we have 1t. begins In the realm of reality.
advances to the realm of duty and then
gives glimpses of coming events. 1t seems
hardly probable that such a grouping of the
writings would have been accidental. There
is rather all the appearance of an orderly
treatise after the plan of one superintend-
ing mind.
198. What is the documentary view OF
the Scriptures. and how does this AFFECT
the doctrine of inspiration?
Answer. 1t is asserted by some with
great plausibiity that certain parts of the
Bible are reproductions of matter contain
ed in earlier books. If so, they were
woven in as appropriate to the purpose of
the writers who were free to material
gathered from any source that would in
no wise involve the subject of inspiration
for not the books but the writers were
inspired. The influence of the Holy Spirit
was as much needed in selection and COM
pilation as I'm original composition. The
inspiration of biblical writer signifies an
extraordinary influence of the Divine
Spirit, prompting the writing and insuring
Its accuracy, but by no means excluding
the truth gained even from an uninspired
man. Inspiration put the seal of truth
upon all extracts made from other books,
giving those extracts the same value as
If they had never been previously used.
