Next morning at daybreak, the shepherd, accompanied by a band of his neighbours, set out in search of his child; but after a day spent in fruitless fatigue, he was at last compelled by the approach of night to descend from the mountain. On returning to his cottage, he found that the dog which he had lost the day before had been home, and, on receiving a piece of cake, had instantly gone off again.
For several successive days the shepherd renewed the search for his child, and still, on returning home disappointed in the evening, he found the dog had been there, and, on receiving his usual allowance of cake, had instantly disappeared. Struck with this singular circumstance, his master remained at home one day; and when the dog, as usual departed with his piece of cake, he resolved to follow him, and find out the cause of this strange procedure. The dog led the way to a cataract at some distance from the spot where the shepherd had left his child.
The banks of the cataract almost joined at the top, yet separated by an abyss of immense depth, presented that appearance which so often astonishes and appalls the travellers that frequent those mountains. Down one of those rugged and almost perpendicular descents, the dog began, without hesitation, to make his away, and at last disappeared by entering into a cave, the mouth of which was almost level with the torrent. The shepherd with difficulty followed; but on entering the cave, what were his emotions, when he beheld his lost one eating with much satisfaction the cake which the dog had just brought him, while the faithful animal stood by, eyeing his young charge with the utmost delight!
From the situation in which the child was found, it appeared that he had wandered to the brink of the prepice, and then had either fallen or scrambled down till he reached the cave. The dog by means of his keen scent had traced him to the spot; and afterwards prevented him from starving, by giving up to him his own daily allowance. The faithful animal appears never to have quitted the child by night or day, except when it was necessary to go for food; and then he was always seen running at full speed to and from the shepherd cottage.

see CONSISTENT CONDUCT REID To be consistent is to act in the same manner at all times, and under all circumstances, being governed by integrity, soberness, and reason. One is said to be conNo. 6, 19 Street and Central Ave.
sistent in coduct when his actions are not governed by such things as insularity, chicanery, or deception when Panama, his words and deeds are not influenced by clever contrivances to puzzle, deceive, or cheat when there is no beguiling knavishness or artifice governing his ac.
tions and when his acts, conduct and deportment are FODOC TODOS free from deception, double dealing and duplicity.
We have seen conduct which is the opposite of being FOR THE BEST IN consistent described as, being nice for a purpose and we think that description both witty and sufficient. In our own experience we are able to remember instances of. HARDWARE :where persons have indeed been nice for a purpose. and after that purpose had been served, that nicety immediately became enmity, spite, and virulence. The oneof every description time decorous companion becoming somewhat of a fairy goblin overnight, mischieveous in spirit, and like the VISIT THE chameleon changes color fast, furious, and at will.
When we come to consider soberly, and to assign reason for such inconsistency of conduct in mortals, we find that it is due to lack of principle, and the absence of the proper idea regarding the fitness of things and men in their relation towards each other. For instance, Coffee is naturally bitter to the taste. If it must be sweetened, the only thing to be used is sugar, a fine Selection of anything else which has the sweetening properties of sugar. In this way a proper relationship is established between the ARTIZAN TOOLS Coffee and the sugar which results in the changing of bitter into sweet, and that which was once dissagreeable to the taste is now pleasant and agreeable thereto. In like ALSO THE VERY BEST BRAND IN manner, the human conduct must become consistent by the application of the principle which will make it so. It PAINTS ENAMELS must be in possession and practice of such things as noble ness of mind, virtue, and comliness of character.
Give us a call before purchasing Inconsistency of conduct in anyone is everything elsewhere but commendable because a principle is involved. One conduct is the advertisement of his character in a general way. As soon as one makes it known to those with whom he comes in contact that he is inconsistent, such a PANAMA HARDWARE one creates an unavoidable distrust in the minds of all CATHEDRAL PLAZA who might know him, and are unlike him. He soon becomes in society what the belladonna is among plantsтоног 1001 Most people seem to think that success comes in some mysterious way; that they cannot do very much in the way of bringing it about; that it is largely a question of luck, of just happening to be in the right place at the right time, of having pull, or influence, or outside capital. But the real truth is that these people haven the grit to try. They don half try and they know they don half try. They are cursed with inertia; they are lazy; they are not willing to get right down on their narrow bones and hustle; they are not willing to pay the price for success.
On every hand we see youths and young men of this type playing at life, playing at work, accomplishing nothing worth while, lazing about, waiting for some thing to turn up, for some lucky chance to give them a lift. And when luck does not come to them, they blame the circumstances and conditions which have been against them not perceiving that those have been under their own control.
Multitudes go pinching along all their lives in mediocrity, pointing envious fingers at those who by industry and effort have won advancement and crying lucky dog! It better to be born lucky than rich.
It isn luck, but grit that controls success. The fellow who forms the habit of waiting for something to turn up never succeeds. Montreal Standard.
