very notable dog he was, too. The
catalogue ofhis merits was very long

any one thing 10 which he excelled,
it was his prowess as 4 wolfhunter.
This was touching our friend on the

The True Reformer.


The true and valuable Reformer, the
American Reformer, is not man Of mere
faith, without works and without sense.
Having hit upon favorite theory, he does
not resolve at once to force it upon the
world, without reference to the existing
state of things, and with no regard to tune
or consequences He sees the human
race struggling as it has struggled for
thousands of years 10 ascend the steep and
rugged heights, on the summit Of which
it hopes enjoy peace and happiness, and
although with the eye of faith he may look
beyond the clouds and darkness, and gain
a view of the resplendant glories which
encircle the brow Of this lofty mountain,
he does not with reckless and fanatical
haste risk all that has been gained by sprin-
ging forward to reach the object at sim
gle bound, the consequence Of which
would be to precipitate him back to the
foot of:hc hill to commence the journey
anew. On the contrary, he tolls on with
patience, caution and deliberation. He
takes care to keep all that has been acs
quired. He looks we'll to his footing, and
before leaving the spot on which he stands,
| finds safe and secure buttress of the
rock which to plant his next onward and
upward step.
