A Dog and his Drunken Master.

A few nights since, the following
occurred: A laboring man who had
Just previously received his weeks
wages, and who was accompanied by
his son and his faithful dog, after hav.
ing drunk more than was good for him,
attempted to enter another rum shop,
when his little son, while pleading with
his father, not to go in, took hold Of
his hand and exerted to the utmost his
tiny strength, to keep him out of the
shop. The dog upon witnessing the
efforts ofhis young master, immediate
ly jumped up, and seizing the mans
coat tail, pulled resolutely in the same
direction with the little boy. The
dog, it is true, might not fully appreci
ate his masters design, as the boy did
but his native sagacity, sharpened per
haps, by what had occurred on forme
occasions. and prompted also by th'
action of the son, probably made
apparent to him that the man had bet
ter be kept out of the rum shop.
But alas, The warnings Of both hu

city authorities have said were unfit for
human habitation. In this miserable

stupid intoxication, holding in her
arms, in ffantic grasp, the dead body
of her child, unconscious that it was
dead. The infant was two weeks old,
and died from want Of care and nour-
