A Drunken Hone.

Drunken drivers are, unfortunately, common enough, says the London Pall Mall Gaxst tm, but thekgrses they drive are Hot often suspecteU of ^ptempciwce. A singular case, liowerer, of a horse 4iadgirted to drink," Cams before the mugist rate at the Birkenhead rolice Court Tecently. A provision dealer was sumSnoned for ftirfousjdriving. He wah seen by a police constable driving )>ast a hotel at a furious pace to the danger of the passers-by, more especially as the night was foggy. In a short time he returned, still driving furiously and lashing tho horse as he passed the hotel. The dofendunt did not deny that the horse was proceeding at a rapid rate, hut laid the blame entirely on the animal. It waif, he said, naturally quick in its pace, and formerly belonged to a commercial traveler who was in the habit of stopping at the hotel for refreshment. While the owner wont inside the hotel,, the horse used to hi supplied with beer outside, and it became so fond of this beverage that it could only be prevented lYom stopping at the hotel by a liberal use of the whip. The horse, it whs stated, "would stand up on its hind legs and drink beer like a man." Under the circumstances the defondent was simply ordered to pay costs. A sober driver with a l>eor-driitk-ing horse that jumps at every opportunity of petting drunk, t* indeed an object for pity rather than punishment. At the same time horses might perhaps be allowed occasionally with advantage "to drink in moderation. Many a cab horae looks aft though he would be none the worse for a pint of beer, especially at night time. — Lithrarv Gi est.

7 he Eleventh Commandment .

Doctor Usher, having heard of "holy Samuel Rutherford," and how the tender grace of his daily life made his home a heaven on forth, resolved, when on a visit to Scotland, to wtnen it tor himself, That he might see it in its simplicity, he assumed the disguise of a poor wayfarer, knocked at the manse anil ns^ed for a night's shelter. He was welcomed with primitive hospitality, and when nt a certain hour the master came down to pray and converse with his family m all Were gathered round the kltohcii ingle, his opening qOhstion to the white-haired stranger waft, "How many commandments are there?" wag the .reply ; the listenors regarded him as almost a miracle of ig nbrance.

Some poetic editor tells hrthe follow ing lings how a farmer took his boy to a printing office to be made into an editor. The editor sat in his sanctum, and look ed the old man in the eye, Then glanced at the grinning young hopeful, and mournfully made the reply : "Is your son g small bound edition of Moses and Solomon both? Can he compass his spirit with meekness, and strangle a natural oath ? Can he leave all his wrongs to th^ future, and carry his heart in hM *1. Iff %: | work in a miinhe, and live on sixpence a week ? >11 Can he courteously talk to an equalXnd brow-beat an impudent dunce V Can he keep things in apple-pie order and do half a dozen of tiimii at once ? i Can ho press at the springs of Knowledge with a quick and relible touch4?

Men do notTiave" their choice whether they will accept life or not ; but they can choose how they will live. We may judge opinions and princjplc.by the light we have, but should estimate men by the light they have.— Gen. J. E. JIawley. The law of the harvest Is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act and you reap a habit ; sow a habit and you reap a character ; sow a character and you reap a destiny. There is a wide difference between gladness and thank fulness. The glad spirit may be selfishly happy ; but the truly thankful spirit recognise with gratitude the receipt of undeserved fa vor. If a contented mind is a perpetual feast, the truly thankful spirit is the on I) truly happy spirit. And how can we better show our thankfulness than by ministering to the wants of the poor and the suffering ? — Christian at Wore.
