AFFECTING STORY
or a MERCHANT and bis Doc.

A French Merchant having
iome money due from a correipon-
dent, iet out on horieback, accom-
panied by bis deg, on purpofe to re-
eeivc it. Having fettled the buff
ncls to his tatsia6tion, b: tied the
bag of money before him, and be-
gan 10 return home. His faithful
dog, as If he entered into his maj.
ter's feelings, friiked roundthe horfe,
bailsed and Jumped, and feemed to
participate in his joy.
The merchant, after riding
iome miles, had occalion TO alight /;
and taking the bag of money in his
hand, laid it down by his Gde, un-
der a hedge, and on remounting,
forgot it. The dog perceived his
laplc Of recollection, and wilhing to
Iectfy it, ran to fetch the bag, but
it was too heavy for him to drag
along. lie then hai}ed TO his mat
Ter, and by crying, barking, and
howling, Geomed TO remind him of
lis minalle. The merchant under
food not his language but the al.
iiduouS creature perievered in his
efforts, and after trying to flop the
ho,Ie in vain, at lalt began to bite
his heels.
The merchant abforbedin fome
reveiie, wholly overlooked the real
Object OF his affe ttionate attendants s
opportunity, but walked to the a.
farming apprehension that he was
going mad. Fullof this fufpicion,
iii croiiing a brook, he turned back
to look ii the animal would drink.
1t was too intent on its matters fer
vice TO think of itlelf 1t continu
ed to bark and bite with greater
violence than before.
" Mercy !" cried the afflicted
merchant "it mutt be io-mN
