STORY OF A DOG.

The following interesting story is abridged from
the London Monthly Magazine =" In a certain
part Of Ireland there is lonely tavern, seldom visi
ted even by travellers, and kept by a gloomy and
misanthropic man, of whom dark and fearful sto-
ries had been told. In fact, it confidently said
that travellers had entered his house than ever
had left it. One evening, stranger stopped stay
all night. Throwing his saddle bags over his arm
after having supped heartily, he stumbled up
row staircase to bed, jack-boots, sver-headed II
ding whip and all, followed by terrier dog, who
had been lying at the kitchen fire when he in,
and who kept smelling at his heels every step he
took up stairs. When he had reached his room,
and had disencumbered himself of his heavy riding
gear, the dog at once leaped up with every sign Of
joy, and the traveller instantly recognised him
one he had lost year two before. His behavior
grew more strange and mysterious, until his mas
ters suspicious aroused that some secret evil
was connected with the house. He dressed himself
again--examined the room, but found no secret
opening- primed his pistols-threw off the bed
clothes and shrunk back aghast, discovering, be-
meath clean white sheets, matrass stained and stiff
with blood At this discovery made by his master,
the Joy Of the dog seemed unbounded; and leap
ed into the bed, the faithful and sagacious animal
lay down for moment, like a person composing
himself to sleep, then jumped back, but with ex-
treme caution, the floor, where he seemed rivet-
ed in mute and breathlcss attention. He stood in
this position n moment, as if expecting some awful
catastrophe, and suddenly rusting noise heard
proceeding from the bed, and in an instant il sank
through the floor, like the dcad-faI Of a gallows,
and disappeared into impcnetrable darkness. No
time lost by the traveller in jumping out Of the
window, followed by his dog and mounting his
horse. he safely reached neighboing town. Spec
dy justice was visited upon the innkccpcr and his
,accomplice scns. who expiased their many crimes

FRIENDSHIP-A SMILE.

An aged oak, rearing its head exposed and alone
on barren hill the rough blast whispers through
its out limbs the battering hail beats forcible
against its side Long has braved the raging ele
ments-long magnanimousy withstood their fury.
but its strength now fails, exhausted and fatgued;
with friendly wood in part to it from tho
assailng storm, it groans awhile beneath its fury,
until at length its branches severed and dispersed
by the nll-sweepng power of heavens electric ball
Soitis with friendless man the dark rolling waves
ofadversty necessarily rush against bim the clouds.
as black and rough, they roll along the sky OF sor.
row, emit their sulphurous flames on his devoted
head-amazed he stands, no friendly arm appears
to rescue him from the roaring cataract of ruin;
hence falls the wretched creature, and sinks amid
the rolling waves to rise no more.

LOVE AND TINE.

1t certainly Is a most fortunate cfrcumstance thaf
watches and clocks are never in love, for without
their interference poor time would indeed be most
sadly belied. Every one takes his own fanciful
view ofthe rate that he flies. Suspense makes mo-
meut an age, and Joy turns day to an hour. Eu-
nui lives life in every week; and whilst idleness
chides the slow flight Of time, industry murmurs
that he escapes her so swiftly. Still old time goes
on ais own unwearied and unvared pace, and various
are the contrivances which like faithful emissaries,
mark that he does so, and love-even love--mus
submit to the cold decision of well regulated clock:
Lovers may storm mt delays that barely exist, ano
protest thathours gone by, yet to come but thar
dull nsensible minister Of time looks on unmoved oy

truth with his hand and must he bow to the power Of
calculation he has lost.

WAR AND LOVE.

War and Love have various cares:
War sheds blood and Love sheds tears;
War has swords and Love has darts;
War breaks heads aud Love breaks hearts.
War makes foes, Love makes friends,
War is soon DER, Love never ends;
War makes wrath Love makes strife;
War takes wealth, and Love takes lfo.
War moves bold, Love moves sly:
War makes us rave, Love makes rs sigh;
Wars ruled by men, Loves ruled by the fair:
War needs many soldiers, Love needs but pair

The gloom that hung around him;
His heart was formed to WOO and WIN,

In soft unbroken slumbcr,
Where the pulse that swelld his anguish'd breast,

That bosom, which burn'd with brighter glow,
Till crush'd and brokenhearted.
