Between eleven and twelve o'clock at night she said to her sisters, "I
think I shall go to-night. Yes, I feel sure I shall." They asked her if
she still felt happy, and if Jesus was precious. She answered, "Yes!
yes!
"My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness."
Turning to them, she said, "Good-bye, good-bye. Say 'Good-bye' to all
for me. I am going home! home! home! I am going home!"
She then fell asleep, to awake in a happier world, "where the inhabitant
shall no more say, I am sick; and where they that dwell therein shall be
forgiven their iniquity."
She was interred at Godmanchester on December 26th, 1887, many of the
friends and scholars of the Sunday School being present.
Truly, "the memory of the just is blessed."

A CHINAMAN applied for membership in a San Francisco Baptist Church. In
answer to the question, "How he found Jesus?" he is reported to have
answered, "I no find Jesus at all; He find me." There is a great deal of
theology as well as evidence of religion in his answer.
A FAMOUS DOG.
In 1779, a young dog, who apparently had no master, came, no one knew
how, to Caen, France, and met there a regiment of grenadiers starting
for Italy. Urged on, apparently by destiny, he followed them. He was, to
all appearance, a common street cur, dirty and ugly, but he had such a
bright expression and seemed so intelligent that they did not hesitate
to take him.
His new companions forced him to act as sentinel, to obey orders, to
keep step, to become accustomed to the sound of fire-arms, to obey roll
call, and all other duties the soldiers were called upon to perform. He
received and ate his rations with them, and lived in every respect as
his regiment was commanded to do.
In going to Italy, Moustache crossed St. Bernard, at the cost of unknown
hardships, and encamped with the regiment above Alexandria. It was here
that he was to accomplish his first great feat of arms. A detachment of
Austrians, hidden in the Valley of Balbo, advanced in the night to
surprise the grenadiers, and was heard by this vigilant dog as he was
making his rounds. The soldiers were awakened by his barking. In a
moment every one was on foot, and the enemy dislodged. To reward
Moustache, the colonel had his name inscribed on the regimental roll,
and ordered that he should have every day the ration of a soldier. He
ordered that there should be put on his neck a collar bearing the name
of the regiment, and the barber was ordered to wash and comb him every
week.
