MISCELLANEOUS. 267 



Leeds, some years ago, there was a dog whose leg was run 

 over in the roadway by a cart-wheel. Some good Samaritan 

 picked up the poor brnte, and, carrying it to the nearest 

 surgeon's, had the broken limb bandaged, and the dog 

 recovered. The same dog, some time after, was passing 

 along the same road, when he witnessed a brother-dog in 

 the fame predicament that he formerly had been in 

 namely, another wheel had broken his leg. What would 

 you have done in a similar case ? Just what that dog 

 did. He seized hold of his suffering relative, rushed 

 off to his old friend the surgeon's, and, depositing him on 

 the floor, looked up into the face of his benefactor, as 

 much as to say, " Please do for him what you so kindly 

 and successfully did for me."

 effect of teaching. If you know but little, go and teach

 while watering others, you will be abundantly watered

My first lesson in the microscope was about thirty 

 years ago, and, during those thirty years, after business 

 hours, teaching others has been the grand and gratuitous 

 delight of my life ; and, because I have never neglected 

 to associate the great Author of the universe with His 

 works, He has honoured me with very much of success, 

 and many sacred and, I trust, eternal friendships, which 

 have made that long period a pleasant dream. 



Never mind what others may say of your associating 

 science with religion : the first is really but the handmaid 

 to the second. And remember, it is written and I am 

 one of the many witnesses who have found it to be true 

 "Them that honour Me I will honour, and they that 

 despise Me shall be lightly esteemed."
