NOBLE CONDUCT OF A NEwFoUNDLAND Doc.
The dog Rolla, belonging to Mr.. Adams, Of 65
Courtlandt street, on Sunday last, performed
one OF those heroic deeds of humanity, for which
the Newfoundland breed is remarkable An
interesting little child, about ten years old.
while playing near the water at Hoboken, lost
his balance and fell in. The tide sweeps along
the shore there with great rapidity, and the
little fellow in a few moments was carried be-
yond human assistance The lad, il seems.
could swim little, but just as his strength was
giving way, the dog, at a short distance from
the spot, quick as thought, dashed through the
crowd, leaped into the water, and in minute
more had the boy by the collar, secure between
his teeth. To bring him ashore, back to that
particular place, however, was an impossible
ty, owing to the force of the current; SO that
the only hope was to make point Of land some
distance ahead lbetween Jersey City and Ho-
boken,) and for that quarter Rolla steered his
course, amidst the applause and excitement of
the spectators. On went the noble animal,
bravely buffeting the tide, and careless Of the
shouts of applause, all the while keeping the
boys face out of the water He reached the
goal at length with his precious burthen. safe
| and sound, but little faint and frightened; |;
| and no sooner had him down than the noble an
NAL sunk exhausted to the sand He was in
stantly surrounded by numerous crowd Of
| people, who had been eyewitness of the scene,
| vieing with each other in showing kindness to
| the noble animal who had thus riskei his own
| life to save that of helpless human being
| Some idea of the labor performed by the dog is
| had from the fact that the entire distance he
had to swim is said to be not less than t,cO
miles IN Y. Express.

enlightened spirit of beray she has granted large con-
cesions to foreigners with the view increasing her own
resources and promoting the commercial facilities of the

Some OF the advances which this government has made
in human progress, may be summed up as follows
l. The law which declares free all the slaves in the Re-
public, and indemnites the masters This law was de-
manded by vast majority OF the people, and did en-
counter the obstacles existing in other countries
because of the small number of slaves and tho low price
labor The claims of reason and christianity also had
| their influence.

| effects Of which are already felt

IlsOP.

Esop was Phrygian by birth He was
sometimes numbered among the wise men Of
Greece, both on account of his own wisdom, and
because he was always among them. He had
abundance Of wit but was terribly deformcd
He was short, hunch. backed, and horribly ug.
ly in the face. He had scarce the figure Of
man, and was for a long time without the use
of speech He was born slave, and was at
one time owned by philosoper named Kan.
thus. One day his master, having company
of friends to dine with him, told 4Esop to pro.
vide the best of everything the market could
afford. He bought nothing but tongues, ant
desired the cook to serve them up with differ.
ent sauces. When dinner came. the first and
second courses the side dishes and the removes
were tongues. t"Did not order you," said
Xanthus, in violent passion. ."to buy the best
victuals in the market2" "And have not
obcyed your ordersg Z" said Esop as there
anything better than tongueP Is not the
tongue the bond of civil society, the key Of sci
ences, and organ Of truth and reason? By
means Of the tongue cities are built, and gov
ments established and administered; with that
men instruct, persuade, and preside in assem-
blies; it is by the tongue that we perform tn,
highest Of all our dr ties: the praisleg aud ado
ring of the Gods. "Wel. them" replied Kan
thus, thinking to catch him, ego to the mar
ket again, to morrow, and buy me the worst O
everything; the same company will dine wit
me. and wish to diversity the entertainment.
Esop provided the very same dishes, tellin
his master that the tongue was the worst thin
in the world. at is" said he, =" the instrumen
of al strife and contention the fomenter Of al
law suits, the source of divisions and wars;
is the organ of error of lies, calumny and bias
phemy." ET f
Plutarch relates the manncrof Esop's death
He went to Delphia with large quantity o
gold, to offer in the name Of Crtrsus. grea
sacrifice to Apollo and to give each inhabitan
a sum of gold. After the sacrifice there aros
quarrel between him and the people of Del
phla, and he sent the remaining gold back l.
Cresus, telling him the inhabitants were no
worthy his bounty. This so enraged the peo
pie Of Delphia, they caused him to be condcn,

of rock .t ss' ' .55ts' -'
