Counsel.—You go to fairs don’t you?

A Dog Fasting.

Mr. W. Brankston Richardson writes to the Christian Times, from 61, Suther- land Gardens, Maida Vale :—“Concur- rently with the forty days’ fast of the misguided Americaa doctor, another fast has been in progress iu our country, for the truth of which, I myself can vouch. A friend of mine, who lives in Devonshire, left home some weeks since op a series of visits to his friends in distant parts of the country. A few days ago he left, his servants wrote him that afavorite Skye terrier was missing. My friend, after ever search had proved fruitless, considered that the dog had been stolen. On his return home, after an absence of one month and five days, he unlocked the library, the doors and windows of which had beea bolted and barred during his ab- sence, and to his astonishment the mias- ing dog crept out in the light, a_ living skeleton and totally blind. He was well cared for, and has now quite re- covered his health and sight. But his existence wax wonderful. He had no food, and no water, and had not gnaw- ed the books or obtained sustenance from any source whatever.”

_ Too Neat.

Many houses, called homes, kept with exquisite neatness by paiaostaking, anxious Womea, are so oppressive in their nicety as to exclude all home feeling from their spotless precincts. The very name of home is synonymous } with personal freedom and _ relaxation | from care. But neither of these can be | felt where such a mania for external! cleanliness prevades the household as to render everything subservient there- to. Many housewives, if they see a speck on floor or wail, or even a serap ol paper or a bit of thread on the floor, | rush at it es ifit were the seed of pesti- lence which must be removed on the

instant. ‘Their temper depends on the maintenance of perfect purity and order. They do not see that cheorful-

ness is more needful at home than all the spotlessness that ever shone. The Best of Reasons.

The Rey. William Jay, in asermon before a missionary society in London, stated that when young, having doubts whether the time had come for the evangelization of the world he called to converse on the subject with John Newten, and mentioned to him the obstacles to the extension of the Gospel which Oppressed his miad. When he had ceased, the venerable clergyman, looking at him, suid, “My brother I have never doubted the power of God to convert the heathen world since He converted me.”
