A Dog Sory.-Edwn Barns, Of Ber-

the sagacI'y of a dog, owned by his faith
or.
The dog had been learned, says Mr..
Barns, TO 20 from the workiield TO the
house for any thing that nigh, be want
ed. Ii happened one day that my father
was at work about half mile from home,
and wanted an axe, he told Carlo (the
name of the dog 10 go home and get the
axe. The dog started off, and after be-
ing gone considerable time, came sneak
ing back, but without the axe,---'rhe dog
went the second time, and after being
gone about as long as before, returned
bringing heavy beetle. My father now
became satisfied that the dog could not
find the axe, and went himself, and found
il sticking firmly into large log, and the
helve knawed from one end to the other,
by the faithful animal, in trying to exlri'
cate ii from the log, and being unable, he
took the beetle as a substitute.

Bedel and Miller desired the Cover

There is, attending personal abuse, a
sort Of noteriety which reconcIes one to
it, and takes away the pangs of wounded
pride; but TO be abused in bad English is
horrible. The abuse of the scholar is
like the amber which for ages preserves
the insect; but to be abused in language
which bespeaks the ignOramus and black

POink Coupe, La. Oct. 9.

DEAR SIR propose in this letter, to
give you short sketch of some of the
prominent bells and lions Of Point Coupee.
The first on the list | have before me, is
Miss S*Ft*st She is tall and we'll proper
toned. Her hair is black, and her eyes
blue. The contrast IS very pleasing -
Indeed suspect she owes her reputation
for beauty, mainly, TO this circumstance.
But her personal charms are less admired
than the accomplishments other mind
Her fine taste, yivacily, ard wit never
displayed TO wound but always TO enlven
and charm, render her the favorle Of the
beau monde. Though proficient in po-
lite learning she is no blue. Let me now
introduce to your notice Mademoisele
s:'*'' shall say nothing in disparage-
ment Of her, For besides being rather
piquant, she is the wealthiest heress in
this part Of La. When a wealthy girl is
presented to the public eye, her de-
(ects should be carefully concealed and
her good qualities made only to appear
For it is no less true now than in DR.
Johnson's time, that when rich bells and
noble authors come upon the tapiS, their
merit should be handsomely acknowledged
But stripped of all adventurous aids Mad.
emoisele .'."s: is really pretty. Her
eye is not the brightest, nor her form the
most perfect, but there is an expression
of good nature in her countenance, which
compensates for any defects. Tho cour-
ted and fiattered whenever she appears,
for reason any one can divine, her ma.
tive modesty an6 good sense are such,
that her demeanor belrays no overweening
notice Of her own importance. Indeed,
she seems to shrink from the adulation
that is bestowed upon her. We will now
if you like, cross the street and call upon
Miss ******* If you are fond of the alb
s,ract sciences, she will become lavorte
with you at once. confess however, |
view her in no other light than as bore.
The first conversation had with her, she
talked upwards OF half an hour upon the
doctrine of chemical affinities, and con-
cluded the sitting with an elaborate met
aphysical disquisition. But Miss "**s*T*

ciety have wiser heads than mine. lfyou

she is very like either of those animals

DEAR SIR:-l see, by communication
in your last paper, that the hurried and
rough SKETCH which | appended TO the
youths Almanac, has much disturbed
some pleasant little great man in Royal
ton. Because the miscellaneous matter
in an Almanac is "as bad as it can be in
point Of stylc," your very refined and
sweet tempered correspondent feels him
self, without other provocation, justified
in abusing me in language eminenlIy be-
coming one possessing his taStel am
really at loss to know how to concilate
this reviewer of-AlmanacS!-but wish,
Mr.. Editor, just to put word or two in
your paper, TO satisfy your readers, who
are strangers to me, that am likely to
survive the onslaught Of the Royalton
gentleman. From the testy little gentle
mans wrath because the miscellaneous
matter in an almanac is faulty, IN point
Of style, one would be led TO suppose that
his literary reading has never extended
beyond almanacs: but let ii be as it will
| beg his pardon fer having so prodigous.
ly shocked his exquisite taste, and for
having caused him such throes of mental
agony as the production of his article
must have cost him! The temper of the
article, considering the provocation, indi-
Gates the gentleman!-the frame of the
sentences and the punctuation, show the
scholari-and the article itself exhibits
its author in the emiabIe light of critic!
Then behold, his sensitiveness! There
surely is danger Of his dying
--"of rose in aromatic pain"
Only thnk--to be thrown into aromatic
couvulsions by reading an article penned
in "a bad style" This will be an end in
Almanac literature, since the classic
gentleman of Royaton has become its
champion!
However, as no man is perfect, and as
there is no one so big a fool but that
something may be learned from him,
shall take the liberty Of giving your
"friend" some advice. | think it would
be improving him to take that,most beauti-
full piece out of CarlysIc, publishedn the
youths Almanac" and entitled "the
Tongue" (for which am SO rediculed!)
and, after supplying the word pen in the
place of "tongne, ITO study it carefully
1t is TO be hoped no one will send Mr. Car
lysle Your friends" arlcle-it might kill
him! No doubt Mr.. CarIvsle writes ex-
pressly for the appolution of such literary
gentlemen as your Royalton Corespon-
dent, and to be SO hacked 10 pieces by our
Green Mountain Jeffrey would, to say the
least mortify him exceedingly! AS for me
II shall try to bear up, as we'll as posi-
bic, under the genteman's severe attack,
It the world will give me the credit OF
writing the article attributed to me by the
sapient right Of Royalton, | will sub.

thank him for his slang! Yet, | have a
favor to ask of him. Should the fierce
little fellow take it into his head TO try his
