,miabe than our own. A French writer ha'
Tone Justice TO some of the admirable qualities o.
he dog; and it shows an innate goodness IN tn,
animal. that these same exceilencies are exhibit
ID in eyerv generation without the inspiring in
luences of the record upon them. Dogs cannot
read printing, but they can read the countenance
of their master, often less legible to man than
he finest type; and we have at our command
some anecdotes illustrative OF the abiding alice
ton of the dog, that would teget FOR the whole
race a kindly feeling in the heart OF every phi.
anthropist, especially OF the ladies-but we re,
press, for the present, our inclination to publis,
them We hope there will be time enough ia
narrate them ali; but should there not. honesty
will only be the sufferer, as generally Is: mean
while, let our simple, unadurned narrative do
Justice to one who, from his color and ms traue'
is scarcely ranked with human beings.

at the cause. There was no noise, no threat, no
swaying backward and forward in the crowd. as

and looking wistfuly at some object in the Gen.
ire. We soon discovered what 1t was.

lay stretched out IN the MIDST OF the Crowd
Shortly afterwards, little CHIMNEY SWEEP
knceled down beside the animal. applied his hand
to the left side, Withdrew it. lifted up the dng's
head, let il fall, and rising slowly, with hea-
Wy sigh, exclaimed, she is dead.'
