10 The New York Courier of Monday
gives the following touching incident ex-
employing the strong attachment of aili-
mails to persons who have showed kind
ness towards them:
A few days since personal friend con,
nected with this office, had the misfortune
to lose his SOMA 6ne. intelligent, manly
little fellow, not quite three years old. A
King Charles spaniel had been in the
habit Of playing with him, receiving food
from his hands, land bearing him com.
pany in his rambles aud sports. While
the little ooy was sick, the dog watched
by his bedside. After he died, no missed
him, and wandered all over the house,
dropping and sad. The second morning
after his death, he took his station al the
foot of the stairs, where he had been ac'
customod to meet him,-watcbed and
visited for him in vain for long time
and at last laid himself down upon the
lower stair and died. Thus fine are the
issues to which,ths' nature even OF brutes
Iis often touched. ff.f .''''

TIE SrRENGrH OF TIE UNION has
been exemplfed during the last eight
months in very remarkable degree
There have been exciting causes and
subjects of disscnsion calculated to ex-
cite alarm; and yet so general has been
the expression Of public sentiment in fa
vor Of the UNIoN. that up to this day
there are but very few persons. out OF
our citizens, who think that it ought or
can be dissolved
Government stocks, the touchstone of
public cnnfdence, have remained unaf'
(ected, and tho business Of the country
continues undistuIbed,
We are glad and proud to see this
As long as the love Of the Union is as
deep seated as it is now we shalt feel
safe and happy.-Alc Gazette.
