The Blind.--On the west side OF the Centre
Market sits man, apparently Of middle age gen
teel in appearance, and quite loquscious in the
offering for sale of his small wares. These con-
sist of backing and friction matches, warranted
the one to produce dazzling polish, and the other
not 10 miss fire both of the very best quality OF
course. He is blind, having lost his sight by the
falling of bottle VI vtriol from shelf Of his store,
in the city Of New Orleans. " Do you not deeply
regret fhe msforure?" we inquired. ST did at
Grst," he replied, but as it's the will of Provi
dence, ! must be content. I've learned music
since I've been afflicted, and lis source of COM
fort. We have many good friends. My wife,
here. keeps some traps, such as tapes needles,
and pins so, ladies and gentlemen, if you need
the articles you will oblige us by buying These
pedlers, by their joint exertions, make comfort
able living.
There is an old blind man who has been about
orr city for many years, and has his residence in
the almshouse He travels anywhere without
guide, and seldom asks a question concerning his
reckoning. He stretches out before him long
stick, tapping the end OF il the ground, and sat
isfying himself by The sound thus produced ofthe
sureness OF his footing. He has never yet met
with any accident A good many persons win
their eyes open have not travelled on their legs
with as much safety.

T.
Pet Dog-Abont year ago, gentleman
of this city, while on visit TO the North, pur-
chased beautiful little white dog, and brought il
home with him. when il at once became the pet
Of the family. The dog was always "the first 10
welcome" the master on his return from business.
Several months since the gentleman vas stricken
down by illness; and then it was the dog would
leap TO his bed and besiow little attentions ildica-
tive of fondness for It's master. The sick man
beginning TO fail rapidly in strength, the animal,
by some means, disappeared; perhaps il was pnr-
posely removed 10 prevent annoyance; but on
the very day that the gentleman died, the dog
rushed into the house. if in the greatest agony,
approached the coffin, and would have come in
contact with the corpse but for the interpostion
of the attendants. Having been driven out off
room, il swiftly ran down stairs, thence into the
cellar, where, after severe paroxysms, il died
the night following the morning on which its
warm-hearted owner departed to the spirit land
Was the death Of the dog owing TO some bodily
disease which had been preyihg on its vitals, or
was it because Of the more serious event of the
morning. Who kpows but thai its heart was riven
by the same blow which fell so heavily upon the
family! But however this may be, the cironm-
stances are literally true.
