In the somewhat famous case of Mrs.
Bodgen's will, which was tried in the
Supreme court many years ago, Daniel
Webster appeared as counselor for the
appellant. Mrs. Greenough, wife of
the Rev. William Greenough of West
Newton, was very self-possessed wit
ness. Notwithstanding Mr.. Webster's
repeated efforts to disconcert her, she
pursued the even tenor Of her way,
until Webster, becoming quite fearful
of the result, arose, apparently in great
agitation, and, drawing out his large
snuff box, thrust his thumb and finger
to the very bottoms and, carrying a
deep pinch to both nostrils, drew it up
with gusto, and then extracting from
his pocket very large handkerchief,
he blew his nose with report that
rang distinct and loud through the
crowded hall.

When your heart thrills with the
thought Of being kind and loving and
noble, do you aspire to put into activity
those God-inspiring thoughts? When
you have the inspiration to make some
great sacrifice, and you know you
ought to make it, do you go forward
and make 1t? You cannot accept any
affirmation of the soul, that impulse
which always drives upward and for
ward, without doing something. So
that If you think you are believing,
and you are not doing, then you are OF
all men the most deceived and misera.

RANCH AND HOUSEHOLD.

1t is natural for sonle boys to make
pets of animals on the farm. Calves,
colts and lambs crowd around such
boys, and 1t is generally noticed that
such animals are thrifty. 1t also is
noticeable that the boys having such
influence over farm animals are the
boys that make the best men. Almost
any boy can be taught to make close
acquaintances with young animals on
the farm, and such Instructions are
very valuable to him. A great deal
depends on the parents. If the ''old
man. yells around the barnyard and
keeps club or two handy to wack the
animals with when they get in his
way the boy is very apt to initiate his
fathers example. Such men generally
complain that farming doesn't pay.
The result is that the boy goes OF to

improved. The young physician be-
came ill soon after having handled a
poisonous liquid while praticing at the
Jefferson Hospital, Philadelphia, of

send him to a Philadelphia hospital.
His many friends here hope for
speedy and permanent recovery.
