A Wonderful Horse.

A Ya>*kee travelling through Kentucky bad afiftc howoand no money. He had taught the animal to lio down or sit on its iaunchfe when the bridle Was pulled pretty bard. Onr ■traveller saw no way of re plenishing his purse bub by selling his horse, and this resolved to do on the first oppor tunity. As he was going slowly along he ww $ hunter at some distance from the wad, whom he rode up to and accosted. In the course of the conversation he told the latter be had ad invaluable horse to sell-a horse that could act precisely like a setter when he was in the vicinity of game. "Casting his eyes around, at the ttme time discovering some fresh rabbit tracks, he gavc-the bridle a strong jerk. Jne docile ljuadrupted immediately lay down. -'There are some rebbits here,' »kI the rider j" I know by his ears." The Kentucklau, cuaious to test the recorded' Mgacity of the horse, searched around, and •are enough, started three or four rabbits. Jwtoi gnady surprised, but the Yankee took the afiairas a matter of course. To Mmv a long story short, the wonderful horse ranged hands on the spot, $300 being the consideration. His new owner mounted JMni with characteristic hospitality, ™ lankeeagreed to accompany him home. «ey goon came to a stream, which they had fjm, and which was. rather deep for i r horsemen, Judge of the Kentuckian's 3 on pulling the bridle in the JJntooftheriTor, his steed subsided in w water as if he was a hippopotamus. How v, this he f he roared out, nothing mm head visible. The Yankee who was mm* on the hunters's other horse, was S* crWitl the least, but replied JJa 0h> I %ot to tell yoiif that lie is v E°<4 lor.fish as he is for rabbits."

From TttE "Christian Hkrami," March 31, 1886. MR G. T. CONGREVE'S TREATMENT OF CONSUMPTION AND OTHER CHEST DISEASES " Continues to be made a great blessing to sufferers, far and wide, in every part of the inf-« The world and we ourselves owe him a debt of gratitude. Nob long since we placed a young lady under bis care, who has recovered her health, arid we need only point to the cases (Mr Congreve is publishing one every week), many of which had been given up as past all hope." " There can be no doubt that for Consumption and other Chsst Complaints M Congreve is a specialist of the first Order, and stands unrivalled. Certainly there has been no other discovery in medical science from which the consumptive patient may gather so much hope as from his." . " The one hundred and TiiißTv-THRKK cases which are recorded in Mr Congreve's book are a most convincing testimony ; but what have been long a marvel are the cases of cure which have been published for several years past in the weekly journals (our own included) once every week" (The reader is referred to the "Christian World," " Christian Age," " Christian Globe," &c, &c.) The author (Mr Congreve, of Coombe Lodge, Peckham, London), has been urgently pnfcreated to make his treatment known in all the British Colonies. The price of the Book is- SIXPENCE, OR SEVENPENCE, POST FREE. ' Published by UPTON AND CO., AUCKLAND, And may be ordered through any Bobkseller.
