3.1.1.! Happiness is a term expressive of man’s normal condition, or of man in his best estate, says the Bela/ions Telescope. Misery is its opposite, and therefore this term de- fines man’s abnormal condition. W hilst these statements are not questioned, the earnest inquiry is suggested as to how happiness may triumph over misery. The experience of the race thus far is a sad one. If the elements of happiness were well understood and thoroughlyincorporatâ€" ‘ ed into the souls and lives of men, would not Paradise be indeed regained ? Good- ness and badness are terms which define elements or forces, each of which claims our service and our lives. The happiest life is reached by the symmetrical develop- ment of all the faculties of the soul. Wise training, by diVine and human agencies, is to be sought with eagerness by all the noble Sons and daughters of our age, if they would enjov the happiness and do the good so grandly opening to the de- lighted vision of every observer. In the course of an address to the Auck- land Ministers’ Association New Zealand, the Rev. T. F. Robertson said: “I passed over a bridge lately, on the keystone of which are inscribed the words, ‘God and We.’ The tale is interesting. A humble girl in danger of perishing in a storm, when the stream was in flood, vowed that if God would save her life she would build a bridge over the dangerous chasm. Her prayer was heard. She lived to build the bridge, and to leave an endowment for the poor of the parish. The inscription on the bridge gives the secret of every Christian worker’s success. It is not ‘God’ alarm, for that would mean human idleness; or ‘We’ alone, for that would be human presumption. It is not ‘We and God,’ that would be human pride; but ‘God and We’ gives the Scriptural way of success. ‘Fellow-workers with God,’ yet depending on Him.” repose.

The visitor opened it, and the dog darting out, went .at the top of his speed down a track which led to the main l road two miles off. Feeling uncomfortable y on account of the dog’s strange behaviour, the man followed him. Just at the junc- tion with the main road he overtook him. A tree had beeen torn up by the wind and lay across the path. The dog was among the branches barking loudly. Then groans could also be heard, and stooping down. the man found the lumberman pinned firmly to the ground by the fallen tree. He went to the nearest cabin and secured assistance. The prostrate man was taken out, but he was so severely injured that at A correspondent of a daily journal re- } lates a strange experience which befell him 3 recently while on a visit to a lumberman’s solitary but. The lumberman lived alone, save for a sagacious shepherd dog which guarded his but during his absences. One day he had occasion to go to the town for supplies, and left his visitor in the but with the dog. The day proved stormy and before night, a perfect gale was blow. ing. It was growing late and the lumber- m-m had not: returned. when the dog be- 1 came uneasy and frequently trotted to the' closed door and whined in a peculiar manner. He did this several times, when suddenly he sprang up, uttered most. “-AAAH At a meeting in a colored church where the brethren had come together to raise funds for a new building, three resolutions were passed: “First we will all give some- ‘ thing. Scoond, we will give according to our means. Third, we Wlll give cheerful- I1y.” According to the usual custom, the box was set in front of the platform and one after another walked up the aisle and deposited his offering. One member, the ’ most substantial in the church, but not the most liberal. looked on for some time and finally walked up and dropped something into the box. The minister saw what it; was and addressed the giver. “Cannotl accept that, brother," he said “not ‘cording to second resolution.” The re- !proved brother went back muttering to his seat. He saw one after another, poorer than himseif go up and make liberal ofl'erings. Eyes were turned cn him from all parts of the church. He be- gan to feel uncomfortable. Rising and going to the platform he took out a bill and fairly flung it into the box. “Won’t do, brother,” said the minister that ’cords :with first and second resolutions but not with the third.” The brother restored the bill to his pocket and went back. There was singing and prayer and more gifts but still not enough for the purpo‘se. The man was interested in the effort but ill at ease over his own emlusion. Why should he be excluded ? Hevwould not be. Stepping briskly down the aisle, with a broad smile on his face and two bills in his hand, he nodded to the minister cheer- fully and put the bills into the box. “Right brother that fits all three resolu- 2 tions, let us sing, ‘Praise God from whom : all blessings flow.’ ” The Lord’s my shepherd, I‘ll not want, He makes me down to lie In pastures green: He leadeth me The quiet waters by. My soul He doth restore again, And me to walk doth make W ithin the paths of righteousness. Even for his own name‘s sake. Yea.thoup:h I walk in death‘s dark vale. Yet will I fear no ill ; For Thou art with me; and Thy rod And staff me comfort still. I went no further. for the tears were running fast along the old man’s cheeks. and he was saying brokenly, over and over. ‘ Oh my, my mither ! my mlther ! ” And there, at his mother’s knee again. the love of Good Shepherd came back to him. l “Not longr ago I was summoned to the ‘ bedside of an old Scotchman who was dy- ing. He had long been in the far country and his substance was all wasted in riotous living; but now the shadows were gather- ing he Would fain go back to his Father’s house. The memories of the old days, the Catechism, the village kirk, were crowding fast upon him. The promises made by a gracious God to his wandering children were all very precious to him now; but the best of all was this twenty-third psalm. Sitting there by the old man’si bedside, I repeated it in the Scotch version : The Musm of the Bible says Dr. D. J. ‘Burrell centres in the Book of Psalms, which was the hymn book of God's people under the old economy. It is a casket of crown jewels, but the twenty-third is its Kohinoor. God only knows how many of his toiling, troubled saints have been sustained and gladdened by it. Take the money out of the whiskey business and it couldn’t live a year. ~Ram’s Horn. It got very dark in Job's time, every- where except right overhead. Heaven’s windows are always open to those who are fully trusting. The world is slow to believe that a sin is black as long as it pays well. Saying yes to a sin is saying no to Christ, no matter how little it is. Until God is believed in everything He is not believed in anything. To know some people is a standing in- vitation to go to heaven. People who have to live alone never find out who they are. There is never any heavenly music in a gloomy heart. Rogues always feel most at home in the dark. “By the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.” To listen to a doubt 13 to listen to the devil. Warned by a Dog. The Rules of Giving.

LINDSAY e- The Australian mail news brings intelli- |d gence from Melbourne of a thrilling ad- ill venture between two large sharks and i’t some ladies and children, bat-hers at the is Mentone ladies' baths there. There were 3t a number of ladies and children in the Id baths. among them being Mrs. Percy k MacMeikan, who was the first to venture e in the water, taking with her her little 3 girl Roy and Mrs. F. French’s daughter. It The bathers went out as far as the rope y which stretches across the open area. 3 There they dived and swam. and the. a children frolicked in glee. Mrs. Mac- n Meikan saw the little girl safely swinging - upon the rope in three feet of water. and .. hen went into deeper parts. At this 1- stage Mrs. F. French’s little boy, who was I) not bathing, noticed a large shark rapidly approaching the party, and immediately told Mrs. Durrant. The boy then called out to Mrs. MacMeikan that there was a shark in the water. She glanced around, and with horror saw a shark turning over 1 Within a foot of her. She kicked and 3 splashed, and nearly fainted away. The shark made for the child: i-n,going between the rope and the shore. Mrs. MacMeiken ’ speedily recovered her presence of mind, and darted to the rescue of the children. Quickly securingr Roy, this brave lady placed the child in about one foot of water. ' Then she turned to rescue Mrs. F. French’s child. She was just in time to affect the rescue. As she grasped the little ' one and making,r for the shore the shark, with a big companion, made a dasl The undaunted woman succeeded in fri ten- ing the monsters away, and safely her the children from alldanger. Mrs. MacMei an E was much exhausted after her terrible ad- venture, The battle between life and death was most exciting. and two ladies fainted. The sharks were fine specimens, the largest one being about 12 feet in. S length and the other about 6 feet. The pair had affected an entrance into the baths : through some broken pickets. Some men were subsequently called in. and succeeded Y in killing the smaller shark. The big one managed to get away into the open sea The men stuck a boat hook into him six times. The shark darted through the hole , and nearly smashed the hook, the jerk precipitating one of the narpooners into the water. v .â€" I I A Thrilling Adventure of a Bfave Lady. The United States ship Shenandoah of Bath. Maine, built by Messrs. Sele 8: Co., of that port, is the largest Wooden vessel in existence. She is 3.258 tons rep-ister. and will carry about 5,000 tons of of heavy cargo. She has just left San Francisco, 011., with 112,000 centals of wheat, worth $175,000.

Prof. Robertson, Dominion dairy com- missioner, appeared before the Committee on Agriculture on Thursday and gwe a most interesting account of the dairy pro- gagandism of last year. During 1891 he gnd his ofiicers had addressed 291 meet- ings, and had been brought into direct contact with 30,000 people. They also visited 194 cheese factories and creamer~ ies. The result of this was a great im~ provement in the buildings and better productions. In Ontario they have given instruction in 75 cheese factories and the farmers had learned how to make half a pound more cheese from every hundred pounds of milk without increasing the eitpense more than heretofore. Cheese had been sent from the experimental sta- tions at Perth and London to England and sold well. In the Course of a, few years he estimated that $5,000,000 worth of ? winter-made butter might be sent to Eug- lnnd annually. In the meantime England imported $56,000,000 worth of tutter, 40‘ per cent. of which came from Denmark. The Danish butter realiZed 10 shillings more per 112 lbs. than the Canadian article. The professor sketched the pro- gram of the coming season’s Work, and at the close of his instructive statement was tendered a hearty vote of thanks. At a subsequent meetingr Prof. Robertson will give the results of feedingr experiments at the central farm. “I will be with him 1n trouble; I liver him and honor him. ” (Ps. 91 first. his life “715 despalred of.
