Sheep Killing Dogs; in many parti ofthe country, one of the moil veiitioui obitielei to railing ihup lucemfully ii the prevalence of dogs with sheep killing pro- peneitiei. Having bad tome experience in dealing with theee raioilly animate, 1 send a few sugges- tion! for the benelt of those who may be suffer- lag from the seme cause. First, let me eay, every one owning n dog, should tali tire that tbera ie no guilt at Mi own door. Dogs art lemetlmu known to lanre their mas- ter'# book unmolested, and art tean returning frock apparently dletant txenreltns, with au air that woold seem to eay "Ask me no qaeitlons." A euapeotad dog may aometlmes bs deteoted by skamining his mouth on eocb an otcasion. If he has not plcksd his teeth clean, email bite of wool may be found between them, and be may aafiely be pronounced guilty, ifsuoh n dog be tied to * etake in an eneloaura, and a vicious, well shorn ram tamed In, be will toon give the dog a striking Issson on shssp killing, which he will not easily forget. One lesion of this kind will cause a dog to tver aftar gfvt a wide berth to any Book of sheep. If a strange dog osn be caught in tbe aet, it is perfeotly safe to bring a well aimed ride to bear Upoa him without waiting to inquire to whoa he helonga?this may be ascertained afterwards, and his owner held responsible. When dogs have made a foray upon a flock, tbey usually return to the scene of operations within a few nights. A pretty sdre trap oan bs made for them by bnilding a pen of rails, fire or six Test high, around a recently killed carsasa, bringing each layer of rails nearer the osnter as M is pat up, so that the sides of the pen will slops toward. The deg can enter from tfi'a top quite easily, but cannot well get out, having no room to run for a dear leap over. A little strychnine eoattared over the fresh carcass, will prevent tbe dog that may sat it from any fcfrther misehle r ; be Will seldom get far away btfore lying down to res'. The eurs which trouble flocks, are usually great towards, esppcially Whan out on sncli an errand, are eully frightened away by any unusual noise, irartnin 0... ,? m -dftheheeb there will be little danger of an attack. I know deveral farmers living in' distriots which have suffered severely from tht ravages of dogs, who dave adopted this' staple expedient, and have gever 'est a sheep. Jf Bcirunia. Soiling of Stock. This id a subject that will engage the espeelal attention of farmers for some years to oome. We do not say that the systetfl' will be generally adop- ted; but we believe that as' it becomes better known it will meet with more favor, and be fonnd to exactly suit tbe elrcr:instances and wants ef a large elasa of the farmers and stock growers of the Country. By "green soiling," or "soiling," we Ctban tbe praotioe of keeping animals in barns, and feeding them on green fond grown and out for the purpose, Instead of allowing them to run in pastures. It Is usual to allow them to rnn in the yard a short time daily, for air and exercise.? The advantages of this plan are being freely dis Sussed among the mbre enterprising praotical farmers, as well as by agricultural writers. We have before as a valuable little work by Josiah Quiaoy, Jr. ef Massachusetts, w'ho, with his fath- er, may well be considered tbs pioneers of this praotice in New Bugland. Last winter we had the pleasure of hearing an interesting address from Mr. Q. on Ibis subject, and gave our readers (he most important points. We now purpose to make a few exhraots'from the woik referred to, Sufficient to give a correct idea of the w'erkings of the system. Mr. Q. says: "My farm being oompaci, tbe an- noyance of having fifteen or twenty head of cattle driven night and merning to and from the pasture; the ° :et of time in often turning the team and plough, owing to the number of interior fences, Und the loss of surface ol good land capable of be- ing ploughed, owing to them and the many head lands, all drew my attention tU the subject of'toil- log' and Its effects. I found that Europeah Writers maintained that six distinct advantages were to be obtained by the practice of 'soiling' over that cf pasturing Cattle in tbe summer season : 1. It saved land: 3. It saved fences. 8. It economised food. 4. It kept oattle in better condition and graa- tar comfort. 6. It produced more milk. 6. It increased the quantity and quality of ma- nure. Satisfied la my own mind of the benefioial effect* dt the practice, I adopted it in the year 1814 and adhered to it until 1811, keeping from fifteen to twenty head of oowa, with eomo other etock, and With entire aatiafactory enceeu. From that time, balng occupied in ririous'publio offices, ia Boston CBd rioinity, I enrolled no iiperintendenoe orar my farm for twenty yeare. Resuming bis management in 1847, 1 returned to thepraetioe of eolling. Bines tnen, I hare kept am thirty to thirty-fire head of milch cows in tHi way; eo that, inmy mind, my experience ie ebncluaire on the subject." He eaye that one acre soiled from, will produce at leaat ae much as three acres pasture inthe usual Way, and that "there is no proposition in Nature more true than that any good farmer may main- tain upon thirty acraa ofgood arable land, twenty bead of cattle the year round, in better ooadition, and greater comfort to the animals, with more profit, lew labor, less trouble, and laea oash ad- ranee for himself than he at tbe present mode ex- ebhds'rpCa a bundrsd acres." He further says: "My own experience his alwaye been leee then thie, nerer having exceeded aeventaen acre* for twenty head." . "To produce a sufficient quantity and eucoeuion of eaccalent food aboat one and a half or two equare rode of grofend to eaeh Cow to to eoiled?- low ai foilowi: Aa early in April ai tfce itate of the land will permit, which ieaanally between the sth and 10th, on properly-prepared land, oati at the rate of four tnebele to tba acre. About the 20th of the lame month, low either oati or barley, at the tame rate per acre, in like quantity and proportion!. Early in Hay, low, inlike manner, either of the aWove graini. Between the 10th and 20th of may, low Indian corn, (Southern Dent being belt,) indrllli, three bnibeli to the acre, in lika quantity and propor- tion!. a About thi sth of June, repeat the io#lng of the eorn, ai abore. After the lait mentioned towing, barley ihould be town in the above-mentioned quantity and pro- portion!, inthe following lucceaiioni?on the 15th and 25.h of June, and in the tint week in July, barley being the belt qualified to reiiit the early froeta." Tbeie rarioui provision! for a variety of cropi will lapply food lometblng in the following order, via: "The oati town early in Apt 11 will be ready to out, for lolling, between the lit end 15th of July, and will uiually remain lucculent until about the middle of the month. , Tho.e irwn about the 20th of April will b ready to cut the 15tb and feoth of July, and will lait nearly or quite till the lit ot Anguat. Thoie loan early in Hay will be ready to me cMd the preoeeding, and will lait till near the middle of Auguat. The oofn sown oil (bs l*sth and 25th or May and early In Jane will supply, in luooeision, excellent food till early inSeptember. Tbe barley aown in Jnly will continue a luffi- olent lupply of good feednntil tbe first of Novera- bar, when, ae aometimei before, tbe topi ol roota ?aa carroti, becta and tnrnipi, with eabba|{es - are a nerer falling resource. Reduced to a single itatement, my experienc > and lyitem if, for tbe inpport of my aoiled atoclc daring the months of July, August and Septem- ber, to low in the months of April, May, June, and July, equal to three-quarters of an acre for each head of oattle to be aoiled, in inch order as will giro a regular ancoeesion cf succulent food daring tbe three first-mentioned months. For their support from the 20th of May, and daring the month of June, I reserve early clover and other grasa at tbs rate of one quarter of an aere for each head of cattle soiled. For their support daring the flrat half of Oato- bsr, 1 depended apon the second grovfth of the half acre ent ever in May and Jane, and tbe sec- ond growth of oats and oorn cut over in Jaly. It now remains to be shown that the cost of raising, catting and distributing the food to tbe stook, Is compensated by these savings above mentioned. Upon this point, my own experienee has satisfied me that the manure alone Is an ample compensation for ell t&ia expense, leaving tbe savings of land, of food, and of fencing-staff, as clear gain froth the system. A popular objeotlon to this mode of keeping milch cows is, that want of exercise must affect injuriously the health of the animsl. To this, European writers some of whom have kept, in this way, large herds, rsply that they 'never bad ono sick, or one die, or one miscarry, in eonseqaence of this mode of keeping.' After more than ten years' pursuing of this practice, my experience justifies me in uniting my testimony to theirs on this point." In the Agrieultural volume of the Patent office Report for 1859, just recoived, we find an interes- ting article by D. S. Curtis, of Madison, Wiscon- sin, on the same subject, in which Mr. C. endeav- ors to shew the peculiar adaptation of this system to the West, where fencing materials are scarce and dear. He claims "nine distinct benefits" ari- sing from tbe system, as follows: " We can now sum op, clearly, nine principle advantages mat. m.jr w. derived from that (attbfut practice of this beautiful system of green soiling the stock of the farm, besides the inciden- tal benefits whloh grow out of It indirectly, namely: Baring ol land; saving of fences;'saving of food; Improved'eondltion and comfortofall the animals; larger prodaot of milk and flesh; greater docility of the animals; freedom from breecby depreda tlons ; larger aocumnlations of manure; and in- creased order in all the business of the farm. Incidental to tbeis, will be greater cleanliness throughout the premises, there being few foal fence-corners, and no feed or manure scattered about dhd'er foot; a greater variety offjod oan be ased, and everything saved; allowing the conve- nience of doing more of the work by one's self, and requiring the paying out of less money; and permitting tbe sale of a larger portion or all grain and fruit, or other matured products that may be raised on the plaoe, and be desired in tbe usual market;' and the comfbrt of doing a much larger sbareoftbe ordinary business under shelter; and having a much larger amount of value concentra- ted in a comparatively smaller space, throughout most of tbe farm property and products; as, for instance, one hundred dollars' worth of stook or grain oocupiea muo'.i leu space than the same value in land or fences, ahd a hundred dollars' worth of wool or batter lets tpaoe than tame value of grain." ?Rural Acts I'ortar. A Short Ulergyioan.' A few Lit'.ea below Poaghkeepsie, N. T., there now lives, and bat lived for several years past, a worthy clergyman, a man,however, very short in stature. Upon a certain ouoday, about eight years ago, this clergyman wae invited by tbe pas- tor of a church in that village to fill bit pulpit for the day. The invitation was accapted, tad San- day morning saw Mr.?-in tbe pulpit. Now it bappsaed that tbe pulpit was a very bigb one, and accordingly nearly bid the poor little clergy- man from viaw. However, tbe congregation; oat of rsipect, managed to keep tbeir countenances, and with ovtr pious faces, teemed religiously anx- loai for tbe text. They were not obliged to welt long, for a nose and two littla eyes suddenly ap- peared over tbe top of the pulpit, end a squeak- ing, tremulous voice, proclaimed ia natal tones the text: " Be of good cheer; it ii I ?be not afraid!" A general roar of laughter followed tbe an- nouncement?tbe clergyman became confnted, and tamed all ebfts of colors, Mfcny, ia tbe general uproar, left the oburch; end it was a long time be- fore tbe minister was enabled to proceed with the sermon, so abruptly broken off. Afternoon came?and tbe little man, standing on a footstool, had a fair view of his audianca The test was announced in due form: " A little while ye shall lee me, and again a little while and ye shall not see me." In the course'of his sermon be repeated his text with great earnestness, and stepping back, lost hit slevatad footing and disappeared f on his bearers! The affect may be more readily Imagined than described. dsLmoaaii Rawae Haa Owe Strom.?Lite California papara state that aagar and syrup, made from tbe Chinese cane, and a better article than tbe imported, has been made in considera- ble quantities la tha State.

Be was prond of bie wife'e glossy ringleti, brilliant eyes, prettj moatk> and, laet of all', her email, white bande. ,Be never onoe naked bimeelf whether thoae aame bande oonld iron a ehirt, make a padding, or mead a pair of etockinge. Not he; it was enough for him to know that they could make trills on the piano, work worsted doge and horses on etoohe and otto- mans, work on orochat and paint something styled a landscape. She was not literary, either. Nor did bis dear Caroline care aboat politics; she did not know whether Sebestopol was np or down?in the hands of the Allies or Russians.? Reformatory movements she never baoacbed. In short, Mr. Tomkins boasted that bis wife was not one of those troublesome beings that some peo- ple called "a strong minded" woman. Yet, though Charles Tomkins bad been married but two months, he bad discovered a liflfe alloy in his gold. To be sure it would pass for pore metal, but close examination disclosed the fact.? To speak plainly, blseoßee had been very muddy for tioiro taan a week, and when be just dropped a bint that if her personal attsntiou were given to the matter, the etli might be remedied, she re- sponded rilVsr tartly, that "coffee making was none of ber business," and then shut herself np in her chamber in a miff, depriving biso ol ber precious company for the rest of the day. A kiss and a new ecarf, however, set the matter right the next morning, Mr. Tomkins throwing inan apology gratis, remembering that rosss al- ways grow in tbe immediate and that mankind, and perhaps womankind, sel- dom attain to perfection. It is a curious fact, but no less tree, that love searcely ever outlives bad bread, smoky tee, thick ccffse, discolored ailt'er, and soiled table- linea. No, the little gentleman likes bread and butler, end be wante thu bread light and the but- ter sweet.

Toe honeymoon bad just expired, end the twain were seated at the breakfast table. Mr. Tomkins looked dubiously at the burnt and dried steak on the plate before him, Bade a wry face at his enp of coffee, took one mouthful f the ciemmy, leathery toast, and then spoke: "Mydear Caroline." "Well, Mr. TomkinsT" "Did you ever eat any of asy mother!/ I'saaJ?" "No; why do yon askt" "Because she makes the best I erer tasted.' "No donbt; a man's mother is generally his wife's snperior in everything. I only wonder he is ever persuaded to leave her," responded-}?'". Tomkins, drily. It was the first time the had ever spoken sar- castically, and Charles was pnxsled. "1 merely referred to my mother, because she auperintende the bread-making herself. J wish you coold be induoed to do the same." Tho lady lifted fi'cf taper fingers. "And do von really," said she, "with me to putty my hands with pio-crust, and bury my arms in dough, Mr. Tomkins?" "No, not that exactly, my love; but yon coold i verlook Sally, and teach her to make better stuff than this," he added, pointing to the toast. "That wouldn't spoil your bands. woU "I don't know how; besides Sally don't want me in the kitchen, and Vat not particularly at- tracted there. 1 don't moan to spend -say life doing housework, or trettieg elsoat-oorvakte.? I'm not able to du anything more to the table and entertain visitors." And then she sighed aui leaned back inher chair.'. "But yonr cousin Mary keeps no servants, and yet she gets time to?" "My cousin Mary is re ry foolish to do so much more than she need. And then her hands are as brown as a gipsey'sl" "I never happened to notice them. I know that she makes dclloious pastry, and plays the piano nearly a w.ss rnurielf." rejoined Mr. Tomkins, soothingly. I wish you wouldn't quote censln Mary. I don't like comparisons. She is a drudge and a blue. Ton said you didn't like bines." "X don't: blondes are my favorites; xwd'you are as pretty a blonde at ever I saw. I'm only regretting your non-interferenoe in matters that concern your sex." Mrs. Tomkins "defined her position" immedi- ately. She did not design barying herself in the kitchen. She bad married for a homo and a maintenance, not to spend her life in rolling pie-crust or moulding bread! , Charles Tomkina looked surprised; and no wonder, for be /sit surprised. Her determination set him to thinking. He did not wish bis wire to be a drudge, but be hoped she would take the general supervision of matters. He was a clerk, with' a moderate salary, and prudence ras abso- lutely necessary in bis situation. The story need not be lengthened. Waste and improvidence in the kitchen soon brought pecuniary embarass- ment. While in the parlor Incapacity s.dignor- ance of what constitutes a true woman and a real lady, laid the foundation of discord wbieb time did not lessen. The charm of the "white hands" bad departed. Mere personal beauty, without intellectual attainments, a fund of com- mon|ens, and moral worth, cannot long prove at- tractive. Think of this, these whom it concerns. Give lilina Trade. The advice oi Fiauklm, to giie every child a trade by which he can earn a living, jf-tynasarv, comes of a human expcriet.ee older than the sage of our Revolution. In some countries, this ba a been the law; in others, a custom. St. Paul, though educated in the law, at the feet of Gama- liel, alio acquired the important oriental handi- craft of tent-maker, by which he was able to earn bia living while proaeenting his irfiaaion- It is a good and wise thing to do. Ton may ba able to leave yonr children fortunes; but "riches take to themselves wings." Yen may give to tbem finished educations, and thay may be gifted with extraordinary genini; bnt they any be placed in situations wbere no education aid no talent may be eoavailable as somt bumble, uonsst trade, by wbieb tbey can get thatr living and be useful to others. It need not take seven years. Several months of earnest work are, in some cases, sudijient to learn an ordinary business. If every young per- son, malo and female, were obliged, in the inter- vals of study, preparatory or professional, to learn farming, gardening, shoemak ng, tailoring, blacksmithing; or, if ladies, millinery or dreea- making, or one of twenty kinds of work or busi- ness, it would always give them a feeling of secu : rity and independence. It is well for every one to bave something to fall back upon. Wo do not know wbat revolutions may coma in aur lime.? Wo de not know wbat misfortunes may come to us individually.

Barnaul Sold. A publio Joke at P. T. Barnaul's expesea la not an avery-day luxury, P. T. B. for many yaare having had tbs laugh on tha otbar aide. But at length the Prince of Showmen has been shown a trick that be d;d not know before, and tha hero of the opeefloq haa bayn, as ie vary usual on auch occasions, a son of the Kmerald isle. It seems that Barnum, a few deye ago, was in a great hnr- ry to be ifaaved, and entered hie ordinary plaoe of tentorial resort, onder tbe Paik Hotel, in New York; bat all tbe operative! were eegaged, and one other customer?a great, brawny Irishman, just landed, and with a beard and head requiring very extensive attention?stood between the ex- hibitor oftbe 'What-U-it' and hie tain as'next.' "1 am ina bnrry, my good man," said Phineas T., addressing Pat; "and if you will give me your..turn 1 will pay for what jou want done hero." "All rlghtl" replied the delighted Irishman; and the ehowman was soon shaved, end on hie way to keep hie engagement?merely seyiDg, as he left the door, to tbe proprietor of tbe saloon, "Do what this man wants," pointing to the exile of Krin, "and I will eettle it with yon." No eooner was be gone than Pat took off his rosty, and thick cotton neck tie, at tbe aame time asking tbe barber, "Now tell me all you do." Why, sir," responded the tonsorial operative, "we shave, out and ourl hair, absmpoo, and bathe." "All right, then," said Pal; "do all them thing! to me. Borra wanef me knows whet they mens, but asks said be'd pay or them, just do them all, an 1 God hlesa youl" Tbe barber eew the joke, and did as requested, putting tha bij Irishman through all tbe proeee- sos, end bringing bins out ao pleasantly altered that Pat scarcely kney himself. We leave onr readers to imagine Barnnm's faee next morning, when tbe proprietor of the saloon heeded him a bill?- "For bathing Irishmen, IS cents; (having, 10 cante; catting hair, 25 cents; sbempooing, 26 cen(s; curling bair, 25 cents?total for Irishman, $1.10." Barnnm at onto acknowledged tho corn?gave a reoeipt for tho malar; but ha ii after tho Irish exile, and awoara. if ha catohes him, that he will place him ohoek by-jowl between tho "What-ls- ilt" and tha Aateo ohildran. Materials In their IDTISIMC State. I a plooa of silver be pat into nitric told, a claar and eolorlem liquid, it la rapidly disioivsd, and vanishes from the sight. The solution of \u25a0li- ver may be mixed witb water, and to appearance no effesSt whatever Is produced; thus, in a pail of water we diaiolv# and render invisible more than f. 10 worth of sliver, not a particle of which can be seen. Not only silver, lead, and Iron, but every other metal can ba treated in the saase way, witb similar rssults. Whan charcoal is burned, wbtn candles are burred, when paper is burnsd, these substances all disappear, and become lpvislb'e.? In fact, every material whleh is vlslbls, can, by certain treatment, bt rendered invisible. Matter which in one condition If perfectly opeqe, and will not admit the least ray #f light to pasi through it, will in another form beooms quite tranaparent. Tha eanse af this wonderful effect of the condition of matter is uttorly Inexplicable. Philosophers do not even broach theories npon the subject, much lass do they endeavor to explain it. Tha substan- ces dissolved In water or horned in the air are not, however, destroyed or lost; by certain wallknows means tt#y eaa be recovered, end t'galn be ren- dered visible; tome in exactly the same as , tbsy were before their invisibility; others, though not ia the same state, can bs shown in their ele- mentary condition; and thai it ran ba proved, that matter having once existed, never ceaeee to aqist, although it ean change its condition, like the caterpillar, which becomes a chrysalis, sod then a gnrgeoeebutterfy. If a pailfull of the so- lution of silver be east into the straam, it is appa- rently loit by ita dispersion in the water, bat it neverthelese coutinnes to exist. 8o when a bush- el of charcoal is burned in a' stove it disappears in consequents of tha gee produced being mixed with ' the vast atmosphere; bat ye the charcoal it still in tha air. On the brightest and snnniett day, when every object fan ba distinctly seen above the horlion, bunureu. ?# of charcoal in an invie ible condition pervade the air. Olase tea u,..u lul illustration of the transparency of a eompout-d, which in troth is nothing bat a mixture of the rust of three metals. This power of matter to change its conditions, from solid opacity to limpid transparency, causes some rather puxsling phe- nomena. Subetancoe inereeso in weight without any apparent cause; for instance, a plant goes on increasing in weight a hundred fold for every atom that ii missing from the earth in which it is glow- ing. Now the simple explanation of thii is, that the leaves of plants have the power of withdraw- ing the Invisible oharcoal from the atmosphere, and restoring it to its invisible state in seme shape or other. The lungs of animals and a amokelest furnace change matter from ita visible to i'a levia- ble state. The gills of fishes and the leaves of plants reverse this operation, rendering invisible or gsseons matter visible. Thus the balance in Nature it maintained, although the continual | change baa been going on long priot to the crea * tion of the "ex'.iaot animals."?C'AemtW iron- dm. - - -. IRON CARS-? The Pennsylvania Central Rail road Company is now having constructed sev- eral cars, all of iron, the invention of a French physician yvho has become a citizen of this country. Its inventor elaims that it is many tons lighter than a wooden car, and much stron- ger; that it will last much longer and is almost entirely secure from accident. If it came in col- lision with another, was thrown off the traph, or down an embankment, or through a bridge, it might be badly dented, but would remain whole. No loss of life conld occur from splin- ters, the breaking out of bottom, or top, or sides. There might be a jam and a squeeze, but nothing worse. TnE "OLD DOMlNlON."?

Effort. Dear little boys,?When a little girl, I atten- ded a school in the country. In this sobool were children of all sins, from the little ones reading in A. B. 0, to the big boys and girls; who, as tbey stood and read, seemed tz me large and learned. Among the cmal'ler scholars was a boy called Teter, a poor boy, who li'ed in a littleblack hut not far from the school-house. Peter's father was a drunkard, and his mother a pale, sorrowfdl- looking woman, of whom the neighbours said, "She Is not long for this world." When walking along the road, and not going to school, I'eter often carried a jug and a bag. Tho bag was for meal or Sour, bich his father tent him to beg for; and the jag was for spirits, frequently bought with this eatne meal end dour. Now it to happened that although Peter was a goodna'ured and obliging little bey, there were those among us r'.o despised him, mainly on ac- eount of his j-g and hag. This was wrong; Tor though we ought to hate tin, our Saviour hat taught us to low the tinner; therefore We had no right to bate even the poor sinful father, much lest the unfortunate iitll* Peter, who only obeyed bit lather's bidding. It it a happy thought for children thus despised and forsaken, that the great God is their Father, and lores them none the less because they are poor, and bare wicked parents. But I was telling you of the school. Cno dey D 'r was reading?- ?'Tall O-ks r>nunMimu " and the teacher told him that little acorm meant poor little boyi like him, and tall oaks were the great and good men which auch boys might be- come if thsy had a mind to make noble effrrts. Soce of the sebo'.ars laughe 1/ as tbongb it were a rldiouloss thing for a boy like Peter to make an effort. But the little boy's face bright- ened, and " Try," seemed to be looking right out of bis two black eyes. Soon after, it was said of Peter, that bo no longer carried a jug and a bag, bat earned bread for himstlf and his family. It was known, too, of this little boy, that wbtn sent to barter meal and flour for spirits, he often ran the risk of a severe whipping by purchasing other articles instead. 'lb'ngs relating to little Peter were in this state when I left that neighbourhood with my parents. I shortly after heard that Peter's mother wis dead, and that hit father had become a temperate man. Tears passed away, and I heard no more of Peter until last summer, when a gentleman, who used to be one of the "tali young men" in that school, called upon mo. lie bad just returned from a rUlt to the Tillage where that tchoul was kept, and interested me Tory much by talking of people and places familllar to na both. " J spent the Sabbatb there," eaid tbii gentleman, " and going' to the old church, heard one of our old schoyl.fellows preach." He asked me to gueti hia name; and 1 msatipnsd all the bright-eyed, smart little boya who I thought possibly could hare become minis- ters; but he shook bis head, and asked me if I had forgotten the " little acorn," who oarrled the jug and bag? I had not, and now learned, to my grrat joy, that he bad become a "tall oak," or, mora properly speaking, a wise, good man, and a mln ister of the gospel 1 '?Faithful in the ILcast." We bare often admired the fidelity of that no- ble boy who stood "amid the battle wreck, when all but him had fied;" who, while the flames lsaped wildly from shroud to shroUlt, waited his father's permission to go. This was fidelity?- which, though it'cost the bey his life, wen for him a noble name. Our fidelity may never be called to e test so serere; yet there ere tests, erery day of our lives, by which we may prore oarsclres, and know whetherer we here the principle of fidelity or not. The Scriptures say, "He that is faithful inthe least, is faithful also In much;" and whenever we see a little boy or girl faithfully do- ing the work appointed them,nojnatter how small that work, we hare great confidence that when sailed to more difficult datlrs, they will not shrink, but do with nob|e fidelity, even unto death. I once heard a father say of his little son, "When I left anything for Samuel to do, I was always sure to find it veil done." He said this while Samuel was lying in his foflla. The hands which bad done so faithfully what they found to do, were now folded, cold and pale, orer the bosom where a heart of true fidelity once beat. Their eartherly work was done. Yet when the father \u25a0aid this, we did not feel so sad. Wetrusted that be had been as faithful to his Father In heaven as to his father or earth, and hoped that hie happy eplrit was able to say to Its Father, God, .'1 bare finished the work Tunc gavest me to do." \u25a0 11 : NEW GOCDS!
