Damon nnd Pythias?nnd numerous jokes went round tlie college about our friendship; yet it stood tho test of four years' companionship and the ridi cule of our fellow-.collegians, and we left Alma Mater Crin, true friends. Qe was a splendid fellow?a man to love and be proud tatfall frie d. ?We settled in the same city ?ho as a physipjfip, I as a lawyer ; and : our intercourse was always pleasant. He waR an orphan, and sole guardian of one i little sister fifteen years younger than hi in? I golf. There were no other relations to wean i.. i_?lifiso I wn It. ono for (lift other Lilt?

As sooo as George was fairly started in the practice of mcdicine, he settled this sum upon his sis? ! lor.

In liis last illness lie implored ine lo accept, tilt* office of gtisttdian to his little fiisier.

Mrs. Dodd wns not in her element out of the kitchen and pantry. I hud no mother, no sister 5 but I had an aunt.

Aunt June had instituted a tegular house-cleaning in the middle , >f January. As she had only o:>,e day to do it it she had taken it all at ouoe.

I would get my violin, and the little witch would take her place at t\ie piwnO' with the gravity of a deacon. She would throw her whole soul into the music, until-she 8aw that I was interesed and absorbed in it, and then she would sly ly dash off the most a^urd variations on some nqgro rpelody oi1 dancing tune. As soon as I stopped, she would look up with an affection of grave surprise, and go on with her part of the music until I was again interested, when the jig or pollift carrfe in again, and so on till I lihtew aside my vio lin, when plie would gravely lecture mo up on the bad example I was setting my wafd by losing my temper.

This was far .from .being the opin ion of the great evangelical lenders.? 'Fasting,' says !$r. Scott, 'is of very gre^t oso and expediency when we have any special blessing to seek from God. We seldom set apart a day in such a sptril with out getting good.' 'I have seen grpat bless ing accompanying fasting,1 remarks Mr. Venn } and in days of'public fHsting he urges a enreful compliance with the pres cription, except jvhen fieaTfh or circum stances makes the mischief greater than the advantage* So John Newton tells us that, for purposes of personal defoticm, bp kfpt four specific fasts, representing four distinct epochs* In saveral instances fasting seems a pro per discipline* Wuen we are beset vfitr. any severe temptation.
