'.hrated comic actor, who. it appears,
preparing for the gra ificat on #
John Euil, and in return for the kind
attentions he received mere, an exhi-
bition Of. Yankee Oddities &c.
1T is understood that Mr.. Ma
theus has made a very successful
campaign in America. He has not
only returned with his packets we'll
lined, but he has imported (free of
duty cargo "fYankee oddities. hh-
mors, and whim-whams, more singu-
lar end wonderful than the Great
Sea Serpent, and which he means, in
due time. to divert the British pub
lie. Poor Jonathanl 1t is hard e.
neugh to have his follies and blum
ders picked and preserved. and ex-
hibited cut and dry among his cne-
mics and all this by a man he had
feasted and flattered! But casuists
have decided that the thing is quite
fair. Nations eat no bread and salt
together; and, therefore, according
to GrUtius. pnssess an indefpasible
right to laugh at each others f"llies.
John Bull holds this by more an

THE DOG OF PERA.

The house IF Greek interpreter
at Pera. in the suburbs Of CONSTANT
nople. being on fir, he had saved
nearly all his property by the assis-
lance Of a few Janissaries, hut more
anxious, without doubt, for his mo-
ney than for his family, he had for
item an infant in its cradle. No
one could enter the house, for every
thing was on fire. The father, re.
duced t. despair, believed that his
child had persisted; when on sud
den, a large dog which he kept 10
e ard his dwelling. emerged from
the flames bearing the innocent little
creature suspended by its linen from
its mouth. They reached towards
the dog to take the child. but he
would not abandon it, and Guiding
their Efforts, he ran through a num-
Der Of streets. until he reached the
house of an intimate friend of his
master, where he deposited the pre-
cious burden. and remained till the
door was opened to receive it.
Can you imagine what was the re.
ward Of this faithful and generous
servanti The owner strove to re-
compense him--but tho mode that
he devised was equally absurd, az
Hicting aad incredible. With a bar
barous gratitude he killed the dog,
and had him served up at his table at
a splendid feast, which be gave OF
the occasion.

hayed tno we'll to be the food of

There is in this we'll attested fact.
mnre of 6arbarism than OF feeling {;
it would have been infinitely better to
have caressed and taken care OF this
dog until extreme age, than thus to
devour him like wolves. In India. a
dog, after such an act, would per-
haps have obtained temple. This
would have been no doubt ridiculous,
but still it is better to err by being
over grateful. than sin by exesss OF
iugratitude.
