On March tith Mr. and Mrs. James Mel- drum, sr., celebrated their golden. wedding at No. 13, Souvenir avenue, Montreal, the residence of their eldest eon, Robert, of the firm of Messrs. Meldrum Brothers. Clus- tered round the venerable couple were six children, thirty-two grand -children, and a large number of relatives from different parts of Canada and the United States. Addresses were read on behalf of the rela- tives by Dr. Smyth, and on behalf of the grand -children by Master W. H. Aleldrum. Mr. and Mrs. Meldrum were the recipients of many beautiful -andcostly presents. A very pleasant feature of the occasion was the presentation to Me. and Mrs. Meldrum of two beautiful gold pins by thirty of their old einployees, who were afterwards enter-• tained to dinner. - The old couple have re- turned to the old hotnestead at Chateauguay Basin.

Chateauguay Main, March Oth, 1895. Ram's Horn Blasts. To love an enemy is the most important service a Christian can render Christ. People. who make crooked paths never get in earnest about following Christ. The closer the -cOmpetition, the more God is needed for a business partner. - When unselfish love is asking for a place in your heart, ()odds 'knocking at, the door. The only thing a Christian can _do for an enemy, that a worldling cannot do,is to love Every time a bad man throws mud at, a good manhe hits himself in the face. It takes more courage to endure than it does to act. A lie is often told without saying a 'word byputting the rotten apples in the bottom of the basket. Van can generally tell -what a man thinks of God by the way he talks a -bout his neighbors. If you let the devil go home to dinner with you, you will have to take him for a regular boarder. The man who has on the whole armor of God never expresses any doubts as to the reality of the devil. One trouble with the church is that there are too many babes in it from five to six feet high.

" It's going to be cold to -night," said Jack, theburly'hired man, coining from the barn and putting out his great broWn hands toward the fire. Roy looked up from his book and nodded. " I pity the man who will have to go far in the wind," said Jack. And the horses too, eh, Jack !" . horses can stand it. -They're used to be' -ng out, and their skin is thick," was the knswer. There's Old Ben ; he'll get undeii, the tree a,nd ii eep warm." " Viope you haven't left Ben out ?" t ex- claim d Roy. " If you have, you have done -rong, for Ben is a faithful.horse, and neveifishirks a duty. Animals have feelings as well as human beings, and they serve us well when we are kind to them." " Well, I guess it won't hurt Ben to leave him out to -night. It'll toughen the old fellow, and besides, it was too cold for me to go• to him in the teeth of the wind and fetch hili in. It's only one night Roy," seeing Roy shut the book. " But .it's Old Ben, the best hand on the farm," Said the boy • quickly. " We should be kind to dumb animals. I would never have thought of leaving the old fel- low in the meadow such a night as this. It is cruel." . Jack made no reply, but looked half - scowlingly at the boy, and. having warmed himself at the fire went up to the attic to bed. Roy arose and walked to the window. Already Jack's predictions were being ful- filled. A cold wind was rattling the win- dows of the farm house, and indications of a bitterly cold night were abundant.' The boy heard the blast with a shudder. By and by he stepped from the house and went to the barn ; taking a halter from above old Ben's stall, he went down the. lane that led to the meadow. He could hardly see his way, the night was so dark, ,.and the wind seemed.to blow through his bones. " -Ben's nothing but'a brute to Jack," said Roy. "That man can't appreciate good service until it has been hammered in- to him. What does he care for a freezing horse as long as he is tucked up in a melon bed?" Roy reached the bars and called Ohl Ben. In a little while -he- was answered by a joyful whinny, and the old horse came up. Roy haltered him and rode him up to his stall. " never go back on you, old fellow," said the boy, patting Old Ben's strong neek,and when he lead put him safely in the barn, with a good feed before him, he went back to his book. - Though old, Ben was the swiftest .horse on the farm ; he could 'out -distance' all the others, and when speed was necessary he was always the chosen one. . The wind rose higher .and higher, and Jack, frightened by the storm, sprang from the bed and fell headlong down -the stairs, afthe bottom of Which he lay badly hurts and calling for a doctor. • Rby's mother examined him and shook her head ; the case was serious. " Von can't get Ben up in time to ride for the doctor " groaned' Jack. ''He's closer than the meadow," answer- ed Roy, as he hurried off, and in a trice he was tiding the faithful old horse over the, country road at the top of his speed. The doctor came back with Roy, and Jack was not only made comfortable, but his life was " Roy didn't lose time." said the surgeon to his patient. " If Old Ben had been in the meadow instead of in his stall, you would surety have bled to death.' The man turned pale and looked at the boy. " How did Old Ben get in his stall ?" he asked. " 1 brought him from the field after you bad gone tobed, I tell you it pays to -be kind to anin • Is. Don't you think it does, Jack ?" Big Jack, • he farm ha.ml, held out his hand and took Roy's in his horny palm. " I guess I need a lesson of this sort," said he. " Hereafter, if there is to be any freezing in the meadow, it shan't be Old Ben." It pays to be kind to (limb_ animals They respect a soft hand and kindly voice, and stand ready in a humble way to repay a kindness a thousandfold. Don't forget the dumb inhabitants of God's beautifal earth. • News Notes. —Three street car drivers were found guilty of cruelty to. horses in the London l'oliee Court and fined 3 or five days each. —William Abbott,a, farmer, nged 50 years, was run over and fatally injured by a train on the Lake Erie road, east of Windsor, early last Sunday morning. • One leg was cut away and his skull was- fractured, and without recovering consciousness, the unfor- tunate man died at 9 o'clock.
