An English gentleman some time ago went
to NauShall Gardens (France) with a large
mastii, which was refused admittance, and the
gentleman left him in tie care of the BODY
guards, who are placed there. The Englishman
some time after he entered, returned TO the gate
and informed the guards that he had lost his
watch, telling the Sergeant that if he would per-
init him 20 take in the dog, he would soon dis
cover the thief His request being granted, the
gentleman made motions to the dog of what he
had lost, which Immediately ran about amongst
the company, and traversed the gardens, till at
last, he laid hold o. a man. The gentleman in

being searched not only his watch, but six 9TH

more remarkable the dog possessed such per-
lection of instinct, as to take his masters watch
from the other six, and carry il to him
OF the aler,ness of the dog in recovering the
lost property of its master, we shall give one
other instance. NJ. Dumont, a tradesman Of
the Rue ST. Dennis, Paris, offered TO lay a wa
ger with friend, that if he were to hide SIX
livrc piece in the dust, his dog would discov-
err and bring it TO him. The wager was accept

carefully marked. When they had proceeded
some distance from the spot. NJ. Dnnont called
to his dog that he had lost something. and or
dered him to seek it. Caniche Immediately
turned back while his master and his companion
pursued their wall, to the Rue st. Denis. Mean
while traveller, who happened TO be just then
returning in small chaise from Ninccnncs.
perceived the piece of money, which his horse
had kicked from its hiding place; lie alighted,
took It up, and drove to his inn in Rue Pont-
aux-Choug, and Caniche had ust reached the
spot in search ofthe los. pcce's.hcn the stranger
picked it up. He followed the chaise, went in
to the inn, and stuck close to the traveller
Having scented out the coin, which he had been
ordered TO bring back, in the pocket of the lat

tleman surprising him to be some dog that had
been lost or left behind by his master. regarded
his different movements as marks of tondness
and as the animal was handsome, he deterInin-
ed to keep bin. He gave him good supper,
and on retiring to bed, took him with him to his
chamber. No sooner had he pulled off his
clothes, than they were seized by the dog; the
owner presuming he wanted to play with them,
took them away again. The animal began to

Southwark with his fleet OF ice
Sailed the Corsair Death;
Wild and fast, blew the blast,
And the east wind was his breath.
His lordly ships of ice
Glistrncd in the sun
On each side. like pennons wide,
Flashing crystal streamets run.
Ills sails of white sea mist
Drppcd with silver rain
But where he past there were cast
Leadcn shadows Ger the main.
Eastward from Campobcllo
Sir Humphrey Gilbert sailed
Three days or more. scaward he bore,
Then, alas the land wind failed.
Alas the land wind failed,
And ice-cold grew the night;
And never more on sea or shore,
Should Sir Humphrey see the light,
He sat upon the deck,
The book was in his hand
Do not fear Heaven is as near
He sa d, " by water as by land"
In the first watch Of the night,
Without n Signals sound,
Out ot the sea, mystcriously.
The fleet OF Death rose all around.
The moon and the evening star
Were hanging in the shrouds;
Every mast, as it passed,
Seemed TO rake the passing clouds.
They grappled with their prize,
At midnight black and cold
As OF a rock was the shock
Heavily the ground swell rolled.
Southwark through day and dark,
They DRIFT in close embrace;
With mist and rain to the Spanish main,
Yet there seems no change Of place.
Southwark, forever southwark.
They drift through dark and day;
And like n dream, in the Cult Stream,
Sinking vanish all away
