Lvety pew held people well known to each other, and who knew each other's business. Nobody there but had heard that Thomas Benton had courted Annie Redwood, and how all was going on well, when the two grandfathers quarrelled about an acre of ground in a stony, unpro- ductive spot, and a family feud commenced, and they were separated. And there the obstinate old grandfathers sat, not caring a whit for all the trouble they had caused, and never forgiving each other's trespasses, despite the fact that they repeated the Lord's Prayer together every Sunday. Sometimes in summer there would be strangers froth the city in church ; but now it was winter, and every one wondered to see a large old woman in a great fur hood comp into church, and seat herself in a back pew Who she was no one could guess, and why she cau.e to church with such a cold as she seemed to have was a wonder to all. She coughed loud and long, interrupting the ser- mon and the prayer, and at last was seized with such a tit of choking that every head was turned. She seemed to try to rise, but found Herself unable to do so. Then Annie Redwood, leaning towards her mother, whis- pered : "It's a shame ! People ought to be more Christian -like in their conduct. I'll go and help her out." Then she arose and went softly down the aisle, and bent over the old lady and whisper- ed something, on which the poor old soul arose and took her arm, and they went out of church together. The coughing was heard outside for a moment or two, but the services went on as before, and no one wondered that Annie Redwood did not return. The family expected to find her when they reached home, of course ; but she was not there. She did not come in to dinner, nor did she come to tea. By evening much alarm was felt, and inquiries were made, but with- out avail. No one had seen the girl since she left the church doors. There was a Sunday train to a large city, and a man kept watch at the station all the day. Ile, seeing fewer passengers on Sunday than at any other time, had noticed thein all. The old woman in the plaid shawl had come to the station, but Miss Redwood was not with her. A young than had been with the old lady. Tho old lady could not be traced alter that, and nothing more was heard of Annie Retltvodd, Many thought •tire old woman was some dreadful person iu disguise, who had murder- ed Annie for the handsome watch and ring she wore. The woods were searched" and 'the ponds dragged, but in vain t and the poor girl was at last given up for lost. The old people had been very cruel to her about Thoutas ; now they shed bitter and unavailing tears. How ntneli better would it Live been to let Annie marry, and have her atilt with theta 1 The old grandfathers shook hands for the first time for years. The families were re- conciled ; but Annie was gone, and Thomas was gone, and what was the use ? f only I knew what became of` my, girl," , sighed Mrs. Redwood.' "Ah, yes ; and if I knew my boy was alive," said Mrs. Benton. A year passed, and it was the day that Annie had disappeared ; and they had all gone to church as usual, and were going homeward Mrs. Redwood was in tears. " I think of Annie all day to -day, " she said. " 01, it is more than I can bear. Who was that old woman ? What did she do to my girl?" "Oh, mother, there she is 1" cried one of the daughters. All looked. Before them on the road tot- tered a large figure in a plaid cloak, coughing violently. The same old woman, no doubt. But who supported her? Who— "Gnod Heaven 1 it is a ghost ! " screamed Mrs. Redwood. " What is it 1 Oh 1 what isit?" "Annie," screamed the girls together ; and screaming, sobbing, regardless of what any might thunk of them, they surrounded the pair. It was Annie, alive, and holding fast to the arta of the old woman she had helped out of church just a year before. " Don't question me on the road," she said. " Let us go home." And glad and angry, and a little terrified, the Bentous and the Redwoods entered the Redwood Homestead, and closed the door. " We thought you dead, Annie," sobbed the mother. `01, you have been cruel 1" " But I 'see my death has reunited you all," said Annie, returning the embrace. " A11 are het e but Tom." " 01, poor 'Pout ! " said his mother, " 1f he were only here too ! " ^''vllut 1 must have an explanation," cried Mr. Redwood, turning upon the old woman. " Who are you, madam 7 And what life has my daughter led. with you ? " " A happy one, I hope, sir," said the old woman, tossing olf her bonnet and throwing away her edoak-; and before them stood a tall yon ii man—Thomas Benton, and no other; who said • "° In this disguise I ran away with Annie a year ago. We changed costumes in the church porch, and so got safely oil. Now the are here again, ready for your blessing, if you will give it to us. Are we forgiven?" It was Annie's mother who said "Yes" Brat, but the others followed in chorus. • Yellow Oil Testimonial. TORONTO, Sept, I3, 1880. Messrs. T.

MILBURN & CO, Proprietors, 31 Church Street,: Toronto, COOLEY'S DOG, Cooley's boy has &liver -colored dog, which he hike, upon several occaeicne tirade. the sub- jest of very interesting and instructive •ex- periments. Originally the dogs tail curled up over its back ; but Cooley's boy was preju- dieed in favor of tails that hung down behind, so after ainputatiug the dog's tail with a hatchet, he spent a whole morning trying to graft a skate -strap on the stump. It was not a courageous dog. It•would bark all night when nobody was about, but if a tramp came neer • the house in the daytime the dog would put the skate -strap between his legs, and go in and lie down behind the stove. Cooley's view was that he would prefer a fighting dog, and one day he read in a paper that a tumid dog could be made brave by filling his meat with gnnpoWdor and red pepper. Accordingly he put about it quarter of it pound of pepper: and a little powder in some meat, rolled it up in a kind. of a ball and tossed it to. the dog. The dog swallowedit•as quick as a flash. For a few moments the animal seamed con. tented. But presently he gave a little start, and then paused and looked around 'to see if anything had. happened, Then he gave an- other jump and began toassume a very solemn appearance. • All of a sudden Ire uttered a sharp howl, and began to circulate around the garden.. He went faster,. 'and faster, •and Cooley is willingto swear to at least four hundred revolutions a minute. - Over, the, gooseberry bushes, through the asparagus bed, across the fences, among the bean -poles he - flew with fury, snapping at Cooley as he pass- ed him,.acarmg the chickens and setting them to cackling, and. smelling the vegetation tc ruin. The. louder Cooley called to him•to stop the faster he went, and at last he got his gen • and tried to shoot him.
