THEOLOGY IN THE HIGHLANDS,

The minister's class at the kirk of
Tobermory had been reading the story
of Joseph and his brethren and it came
to the turn of the minister to examine
the boys.
The replies to all his questions had
been quick, intelligent, and correct.
Such as:
s'What great crime did these sons
of Jacob eommita'
"They sold their brother Joseph. -
"Quite correct. And for how
much! -
Twenty pieces of silver"
"And what added to the cruelty and
wiekedness of these bad brothers?'
A pause.
"What made their treachery even
more detestable and heinousa'
Then bright little Highlander
stretched out an eager hand.
"Well, my MANI"
.'Please. sir, they sell't him over
cheap. Bits.

DOG DENTIST MAKES FORTUNE.

The man with an idea is the one

for patients to come to his dental of

a field that was overcrowded, he de-

He became a dog dentist. Now he rolls

their dogs around at regular intervals
for the inspection of their teeth. One
Boston bull of society has gold

THE RETURNED MAINE BATTLE FLAGS.

Nothing but 1ags-but simple flags
Tattered and torn and hanging in rags:
And we walk beneath them with careless tread,
Nor think of the hosts of the mighty dead
That have marched beneath them i'll days gone by
With burning cheek, and a kndling eye
And have bated their folds with their young LIES tide
And dying, blessed hem and blessing, died.
Nothing but hags,-yet. methnk night,
They tell each other their tales of fright!
And dim specres and their thin tWne
AS the word is given-they charge! they form!
And the dim hall rings with the battles
And once again, through the smoke and strife
Those coors lead Nations life.
Nothing but hags-yet they're bathed with tears,
They tell Of triumpfs-o hopes-of fears;
OF a mothers prayers-of boy away,
OF serpent cr,sled--of the coming day;
Silent, they speak-and the will
As stand beneath them with hrobbng heart
And think of those who neer forgot,
Their flags home--why they not?
Nothing but hags-yet hold our BREATH
And gaze with at those types of death;
Nothing but lags-yet the thought will come,
The heart must pray though the lips be dumb!
They sacred pure, and stain
On those dear loved flags home again
Bapted in blood purest, best,
Tattered and torn, they re rest.
