The progress of Bible gnessing frauds has received a sudden check at Dundee, where a certain wily Soot had beim arrested on the charge of extracting shillings from the pockets of two confiding !biblical students. This was the advertisement he inserted in some 300 newspapers throughout the country : " Prodigious 1 'i:100 a week 1 ! L150 in cash prizes for counting the words in chapters L and II. of Joshua. It tran- spired that $1,206 had been received in reply to the advertisement (still unpaid) and 13s. 6d. had been given as - prize money. The presiding sheriff said he did not think there were so many fools in the country reedy to mend money in answer to such a transparent fraud. Thel idea of giving prizee, he added, for coubting the words or letters in the New Testreut was -pro- posal which could be maIe only by a rogue or a lunatic. On prisoners agent objecting to the sum fixed as bail, the sheriff remark- ed : "He will be all the better of a little time for meditation.

One might at first thought rejoioe in the removal from our shores of this great evil, whose annual profits of many millions ol dollars have been drawn, dollar by dollar, frorn almost every village and city in the United States ; but it is certain that its in- tention is atill to subsist on this country.

A law making the sending or receivieg of loa tery tickets -whether by mail, express or otherwise -a penal offence has been propoa ed, and might meet the danger. That some stricter legislation than tow exists is need- ed in beyond question.

How Dr. Guthrie Became a Teetotaller. [The following narration is made in "The Life of Dr. Thomas Guthrie," by his SOD'of the conversion to total abtinenoe of the great divine and writer of the Scottish church. During the remainder of his long life, Dr. Guthrie was an indefatigable preacher against intemperance, and was the originator of Ragged Schools which became a national feature. He was ever a pioneer in reform movements and not only Great Britain but the world owes much to his Loyalty to advanced thought and the clear vision with which he worked for -the future. -ED.] "1 was first led " he told to a temperance meeting in Belfast in 1862, "to form a high opinion of the cause of temperance by the hearing of an Irishmen.

By this time we were soaking with water out- side'and as tbese were the days not of tes andtoast but of toddy drinking, we thought the best way was to soak ourselves with whisky inside.

" Kathchen," said Mary, abruptly, "why ,does he keep harking back on Manitoba? Don't you think there is a curious tendenoy about his mind ?-he does not change plans or opinions quickly.

A Young Temi3erance Hero. The days of heroism are never put, and the history of temperanoe in the days when it was everywhere denounced would afford some noble specimens. I have often spoken of Willie Bartlett, and it will interesathose of your readers who admire British pluck,' wherever it is found, to read of Ms trial and triumph. Willie's taller was a noble; fel- low, one of the multitude whore the drink sweeps away, those who are saide to be no- body's enemies but their owie-a saying ter- ribly Ulu as Willie's mother and fatherless children soon felt. Burdened with debt, and with six small children to support, her prospects were dark indeed. Early in life however, she had become a true Christien, and though her husband once walked with her in the narrow path,he had been led away by the drink fiend,but she remained faithful, , and now that the day of trouble had come, ' she knew where to go for- support and guidance. After much consideration and prayer, she determined to open a little shop in one of the suburbs of the town in which she resided. For some time she bad hard struggle but God blessed her efforts, and the sky began to brighten. , Willie, who was a sharp, observant boy, Was very much impressed with her success, and one day maid to her: "Mother, I can't think how it is so many people corn° to your shop." " Can't You," said his mother. " What puzzles you ?" "Why," said he, "a lot of them Innts from right the other end of the town, and I can't think why they pais so many shops and come here." "Willie," said she, "you are fond of ciphering; get your slate and tell me how far off persons must live that God cannot bring them to my shop." This way of putting it made a greet im- preesion on the boy, and did much to mould his character and shape his future life. After a while Willie's mother determined to apprentice him to hie father's trade, and after- some negotiations, the master agreed to take him. Having a high regard for the father, the master took him into the works, and gave him in charge of his principal fore- man. As soon as the master had left, the foreman said : " Well, Willie, well make s man of thee here for thy father's sakeeind-we must have a footing to drink thy success; and as I know money is not very plentiful at home, I will pay for it myself," and immediately one of the other lads was sent for a quart of beer. Poor Willie was bewildered with this ar- rangement, for his mother had trained him up a strict e.betainer, and had taught him to hate his father's murderer -the drink. The beer was soon brought, and the men gath. ered round, and each drank to Willie's suc- cess. Then the foreman poured out a glass and offered it to Willie, saying: "Now, my lad, drink slimes to all." Willie quietly replied ? "I'm a teetotaler, and never touch the drink." Irritated at the boy's reply, the fore- man said : "None of that nonsense. Well have no teetotalism kere. Take the drink ,at once." " Willie said ; "1 promised my mother I wopld never touch the drink, and I never will." " Look here," said the man, "we are not going have two masters here, so drink it I cannot, and I will not 1" said Willie. Mad with the boy's rebellion against Ms orders, the foreman mid "This is all non- sense You will have it in yeti or over you!" " Well," said Willie, "1 can't help it. I will never drink. You can throw it over me if you like. I have brought here ' a clean jacket and good character. You may spoil my jacket if you will; but you shall never spoil` my character." Struck with the boy's earnest look, the man's better nature prevailed, and turning Away, he said to his mates : a ram one, but I believe he'll make a man."

He said he wanted a contract for shoveling my paths clear of snow all winter. I thought he was too small, but wanted to help him, and told him to go ahead and get his pay , from my wife.

The band numbered in all 374 persone, in- cluding a large number of persons sentenced to exile for political crimee. In accordance with the custom, the convicts were march- ing to their various deetinatione. They had spent the night at Tomsk, Western Siberia, and continued their march early in the morning. A snow storm was prevailing, and, when six hours' march from Tomsk, the etorm had become to severe that all the roads were obliterated. Chained together the convicts struggled on until , gradually the weaker ones fell in the deep snow, drag- ging the stronger ones down with them.
