HIGHER.

Higher! il is a word Of noble meaning, the
inspiration Of all great deeds--the sympathet-
ic chain that leads, link by link. the impass-
ioned soul to its zenith OF glory, and still
! holds its mysterious object standing and gilt
tering among the stars.
Higher lisps the infant that clasps its pa
rents knees and makes its feeble essay TO
rise from the floor--it is the first aspiration OF
| childhood-to burst the narrow confines OF
the cradle, in which its sweetest moments
have passed forever.
Higher! laughs the proud schoo.boy at his
swing; or as he climbs the tallest tree OF the
forrest, that he my look down upon h,s less
adventurous comrades with flush Of exuita-
ton, and abroad over the fields, the meadows
and his native village. He never saw 80 ex-
tended prospect before.
Higher! earnestly breathes the student OF
philosophy and nature he has host OF ri
walls, but he must eclipse them all. The mid
night oil burns dim, and he finds light and
knowledge in the lamps of heaven, and his
soul is never weary when the last OF them is
hid behind the curtain of morning.
.Ladhigher his voice thunders forth. whoa
the dignity of manhood has manted his form,
and the multitude is listening with delight u
MS oracies burning with eioqucnce and ring
ing like true steel in tue cause of freedom
and right. And when time has changed his
locks to silver, and world wide renown is his;
when the maiden, gathering flowers by the
roadside and the boys in the field, bow in
reverence as he passes; and the peasant looks
To him with honor-can he breathe forth
from his heart the fond wish of the paste
Higher get! He has reached the apex Of
earthly honor, only yet his spirit burns as
warm as in youth, though with a steadier and
paler light, and it would even borrow wings
and soar up to heaven, leaving its tenement
to mouder among the laurels he has wound
around it, for the never-ending glory, TO be
reached only in the presence Of the Most
High.

A Remarkable Dog story.

"A writer in the New York Evening Post
relates the following almost Incredible in
stance Of the intelligence aud affection OF a
dog:
81 passed day and night, last week, at a
friends house, under the Palisades. opposite
SpItteUdevifs Creek about uine miles from
this city. A fine houndlikc dog came uto
the room where we were sitting. when the
following instance of sagacity and canine al
lection, was related.
lie and another dog were in the practice
OF going out To hunt squirrels on the noun
tam. His companion, in pursuit oi some
game, got his head tast between two rocks,
from which he could not exulcstc himself
Inc remained IN this situation eight days
during which time, his associate, Watch, fed
him daily. Watch WAS observed TO whine
aud show great uneasines>; he would seize
upon every bone and bit Ol meat he could
find, aud hasten up to the mountain. reser-
lng Tor himself only the crumbs which were
shaken from the table cloth. lie also went
often to the master of his friend, aud by signs
cndoavorcd TO induce hlm TO follow him. At
length the master began to notice the con-
duet Of the dog. and one day said TO him.
Watch, do you know where poor Alonzo is,
the dog appearing to understand him sprang
upon him with so much force as to almost
throw him down, and by other signs Induced
him to follow him. Watch. elsted beyond
measure; conducted him to his imprisoned
companion. The poor dog was found to have
suffered greatly; 10 addition to his being near
ly starved, in his efforts To ex,ricaIe hImsell
he bad worn the skin from his neck aud
shoulders. He was soon liberated, aud with
care is 10 FAIR way Of recovery. Fragments
Of the bones which Watch had brought him
were seen around the place OF his couiiOe
menI."
