And some tor action did prepare,
But soon their aims laid down.

greyhound always lay under the manger be.

he became unhappy and restless when the
cog vas out of sight. Ii was common
practice with the gentleman to whom they be-
ionged TO coll at the stable for the greyhound
10 accompany him in his walks; on such occa
s'ons The horse would look over his shoulders
at the dog With much anxiety, and neigh in a
manner which plainly said "Lei me also ac-
company you" When the dog returned to
the stable, he was always welcomed with a
loud ne 5gh he ran up to the horse and licked
ms nose. In return, the horse would scratch
the dog hack with his teeth. One day, when
the groom was out with The horse and grey

BE,yANIN FRANKLIs.-George Bancroft,
Esq, IL q lecture before the New York Histo.
zeal Society, reported in the Times, pays an
elegant tribute TO the philosopher:
Not the half of Franklin's merits have been
TOLD. He was the true father of the American
Jnon. It was he who Went forth to lay the
foundation of that great design at Albany !;
in New York ne lifted up his veice. Here
among Us he appeared as the apostle of the
Unon. Ii was Franklin who suggested the
Congress of 1894 and but for his wisdom, and
the confidence that wisdom inspired, it ia q
matter a doubt whether that Congress would
nave taken effect. IL was franklin who sug
gested the bond of the Union which binds
these States from Florida to Maine. Franklin
was The greatest diplomatist Of the eighteenth
century. He never spoke word too soon; he
never spoke word too late; he never spoke a
word 100 much; he never failed to speak the
right word al the right season."
