pat is just one Of the greatest out;
strong as lion and gentle as lamb.
lie leaves nothing alive upon whcih
he is fairly 'set,' but he would not
rutilc the feathers Of the smallest
chicken, unbiddcn, for his right paw.
lie will drag the children in cart,
as long as he can drag himself, and
never utter word Of complaint, but
wo bctide the being which comes
within his reach, when duty calls him
to sterner mood. A very useful
dog is Pat too.--lIe will 'carry and
fetch anything intrusted to him, and
makes himself very generally useful
in tho way of Grand going. lie di.
vidcs his time between two of our
ncighbors and farm q mile of, and
saves many ajourncy back and forth,
Of those who would make more fuss
about it. The other day he WAS scrt
to the farm with n basket for eggs
1t was observed that he did not come
back so promptly as usual, but the
circumstance excited no special at.
tcntion. He came in at last, looking
as though nothing at all had happen,
cd-he was glad to sec the folks, and
appeared very much at his ease, and
perfectly satisfied with himself, with
no goadings Of conscience to. mar his
happiness. In the midst of his ap-
parent happiness, however, he was
interrupted with the inquiry, Pat,
where are your eggs?' His tail fell
about fifty degrees instantly, and
with look perfectly ineligible, he
turned and was off. Going to pile
Of timber, not far away, he found his
basket Of eggs, and bringing thcm
home, made the best apology q dog
could make, and gave them into the
hands Of his mistress. On inquiry,
it was asoertained that on his way
home, he met some other dogs, and
feeling little social, he put his eggs
in o safe place, and stopped for a so.
cial chat with his friends, and finally
went home, forgetting to take his
eggs along. I'VE believe this is tho
fret instance in which dog has been
shown to have forgotten anything.

splendid equipage drive up to his
door, and tall, important looking
gentleman alight from it. He want.
cd q lady's set of diamond ornaments.
q complete wedding pature. The
price was fixed at two hundred thou
sand francs. Several designs were
shown to him. He made choice Of
ono, said he could grant but little
time for executing the order, and in.
sisted on leaving with the jeweller q
dcspositc of four thousand francs in
billets de banque. He also selected
o ring, worth hundred and twenty
francs, and ordered it to De sent home
the next day; and five days after the
whole set Of diamonds were to, be
completed. Accordingly, on the fol-
lowing day, confidential messenger
from the jewellers repaired to tho
Hotel D, in the Rue dc Ia Paix.
and inquired for Prince Gargarin.
He was shown into an apartment on
the first story. Five or six lackeys
were in the antichamber. The
Prince took the ring, paid for it, and
gave q present Of ten francs to the
messenger, who joyfully returned
home, and congratulated his master
on having so wealthy and liberal a
customer.
The jeweller, with tho utmost
punctuality, carried home the dia-
snonds on the day appointed. The
prince was in his study, sitting before
his cylindrical secretaire, which was
open. The jewcller handed the cas-
ket to him, and his highness minute.
ly inspected the jewels; suddenly
one of the Wallets entered the room
and announced 'Prince Dolgoroki.'
'Ah !! my brother.in.law,' exclaim-
ed his highncss.
4 do not wish him to see the pre-.
sent which / destine for his sister.
Request him to stay in the drawing
room, and / will come to him inme-
diately.' He touched the table, the
cylinder moved, and the secretairc
closed; the diamonds were within it;
but on the table there lay an open
box filled with leather bags, and nu.
merous rouleaux of louis were hud-
died together in confusion. The
teweiler had observed all this treas.
inre on his first arrival, but his attcn-
tion was particularly attracted by n
large Russian leather portfolio, we'll
lined with biNets de 6auque, the
edges of which were visible.
Ills highncss left the room, saying
hc would return very shortly. The
leweller begged he would not hurry
himself. About twenty minutes
elapsed, and sort of vague appre-
hension assailed the jeweller. At
length the door opened. Oh. here
is his highness; thought he. But no
it was the master of the Hotel, who
stepping up to the jewcller, said:
.Aro you waiting for any body,
Il am waiting for the return of
Prince Gargarin, to whom l have
gust sold set of diamonds for two
hundred thousand francs. Are you
his secretary
i am his dupc, and SO presume
you are!'
He seized one Of the leather bags,
and opening it, discovered, to his
horror, that it was filled with nails !;
the roulcaux contained nothing. and
the portfolio scraps Of waste paper.
However, the jeweller consoled him.
geif----the diamonds were still safo.
A locksmith was sent for; the secre.
t,.irc was spened, and oh, horror! it
Sras empty. 1t stood on ono side of
