MICHAEL DOCHERTY.

The character Of the soldier OF fortune SO inimita

merit OF the popular tale" Legend of Mon,rose, .

careless facility with which he changed sides, and
embraced opposite principles, regarded as the spor.
tive invention Of the authors brain. will briefly
relate the adventures of sentinel in the continental
service, as received from his own lips and leave il
to my readers to determine whether the character
OF DalGelty, though il never did, might have exis-
ted.
At the moment OF retreat on the 18th of Nav
1889, when colonel Laurens, commanded the hph,
troops OF General Greene's army, beat up the quar-
tiers OF the enemy near Accabee, Michael Docherty

speech at this time, but meeting him shortly after
IN the camp, enqulred, chow he who was SO much
appiauded for uncommon gallanry, should have
expressed so great delight on finding the enemy
indisposed for action" Sand who, beside mysei
had better right to be pleased wonder . said

THE POETS DOG.

| The manner in which Pope, the greatest Of Eng.
lsh Poets, was preserved by the uncommon saga.
city of his dog, was truly remarkable This ani
NAL, who was called Marquis, could never agree
with favorite servant oil this ustrous writer; he
lconstanly growIed when near him, and would even
show his teeth whenever this servant approached -
Although the English Poet was snguary attached
to this dog (who spaniel of the largest species)
yet on account Of his extreme neaness, which ht
pushed almost to excess, he would never allow him
10 remain IN his chamber. Nevertheless, in spite
OF the most positive orders, the spaniel would ire
lquently sneak towards evening into the apartment
of his master, and would not be driven from il
without the greatest difficulty. One evening, hay
ing slipped very softly in, without being perceived,
this animal placed himself under the bed oil his mas
ter, and remained there scarcely breathing. To-
wards morning, the servant rushed hastily into the
chamber Of Pope. At this moment the faithful dog
suddenly left his post, and leaped the villain who
was armed with pistol. The poet started from
his sleep-he threw open the window 10 call for as
slstance, and beheld three hghwaymen, who had
been intoduced by his servant into the garden OF his
villa, Tor the purpose OF robbng him OF his most
valuable possessions, after having assassinated him
Disconnected by this unforeseen accident, the rob
bers hestated moment and then took to fight -
The servant thus betrayed by The watchful dog, was
sentenced to forfeit his lIle. How powerful the in
SllhCt Vi nS iaNniul animal, Dy whose astonishing
sagacy was thus preserved the lille OF man oil
whose fame England may justly be proud.
The same dog, shortly after this singular event,
exhibited another proof Of his remarkable instinct.
Pope, reposing afternoon in little wood about
three leagues distant from his house, lost a watc hl
OF immense value On returning home the Poe
wished to know the hour, and found his watch was
not in his fob. Two three nights had elapsed |
and violent storm was just commencing. The |
master called his dog and making sign which
Marquis very we'll understood, he said " / have
lost my watch, go look for il /" AT these word,
Marquis departed quick as the flash which ghted
MS steps, and repaired no doubt 10 every spot al
which his master had stopped 1t happened that the
Door animal was SO long occupied 10 the search as i
o create 'eat anxiety, for midnight had arrived
md he had not returneds What was the atonish-
nent OF Pope. when on rising in the morning, he
opened his chamber door and there behed his faith
vi messenger LAYING quietly and holding 10 his
mouth the splendid Jewel with which he had re
urned perfectly unl'lucd, aud which was the more
highly valued by the Poet as it had been presented
INN by the Queen of England.
