A DISHONEST Doa.-The Fall River lion
itor relates the following dog story-showlng
that remarkable brutes as well as wonderful
men sometimes apply their superior talents
to the worst Of purposes:
CA family residing in the southern part of
the city, are the owners Of large and faith
full watch dog; the little daughter being very
anxious to possess set Of iurs, the other day
commenced teasing her mother very earnestly
to procure her some. While doing so the sa-
gacious dog stood near cycling them very in
tsntly, apparently understanding the meaning
of ths conversation. Watching an opportu-
nifty he left the house soon after, and made his
way directly TO one of our fur stores, and seiz-
ing one Of these articles which was displayed
at the door for sale, he made off with it. He
directed his course homeward, and being pur-
sued, the fur was taken from him just as he
reached the gate Of his masters residence"

CHARACTERISTIC END OF 4 MIsER.-A Mr..
l.. in the neghborhood OF Strasburg, who, in
addition to constitutional love of money,
was little disordered in mind, went one morn
ing to u rope-maker's at the end of the vii
lagc and bargained for piece of rope ten feet
long. The rope-maker demanded for it one
france and fifty centimes. This price seemed
to Mr.. L. too high, and he offered for it one
franc and twenty-five centimcs. They could
not agree, and Mr.. L. went off, returning the
next morning at the same hour to hagge anew
for the rope. The rope-Naker was inexora
BILE, and Mr.. l.. again retired, but repeated
his visit on several successive days. This
went on for month, the same offers and the
same refusals Finally, one Sunday the rope
maker was away, and an apprentice took his
place. viii you hna y consent to let me have
this rope for one frame and twenty-five cen
times The apprentice, who did not know
what had passed, coiIed up the rope and put
it into the hands Of the purchaser. An houl
after hlr. L. was found suspended on tree
He had hung himself with this rope on which
be had saved twenty-five centimes

An IRISH MIsrAKE.--The Salem Gazette
tells the following story The mistakes into
which the emegrants are apt to fall, on their
arrival here, are not recorded against them as
offences. They are the natural results Of a
state of things so strange and unaccustomed to
them. Last Tuesday morning one Of our sub
scribers lost his paper by means Of these mis-
understandings; ard he was so much amused
with the affair, that he related the whole story
to us.
His wife had, within few days. taken into
her service girl, just arrived from Ireland.
On Tuesday morning she accosted her mistress
with the lamston-" They've been playing
tricks upon US There's boy all about the
neighborhood sticking wet paper into every
body's door Her employer replied, :" That
is only the newspaper" 80, no." she an
swered, 1T could not be the newspaper for it
was wet. And rolled up the Que at our
door and flung it at the BLACKBOARD, as soon
as he was out Of sight,
The blunder cost US fresh paper, but paid
US its cost in good laug h.

THE SAD RESULT OF IGNoRANCE.-The de-
trait 1fdrertise,. relates an instance of an OK
being killed, and a sled being broken to pieces
by railroad car, and all because the OK could
not understand French. The facts Of the case
were these. The team, consisting of one Eng
lish and one French OK, drawing a heavy load
Of wood and driven by French driver, was
crossing the track when the express train of
cars made its appearance. Tho driver, in
great excitement, Immediately ordered his
oxen to chuen THE French for "haw'). The
French OK understood him, and turning off the
track, saved himself from injury: but the Eng
lish OK, having never studied the language,
pressed further on, and was instantly killed.
This case should be warning to farmers to
have their oxen properly educated.

Gold gold gold gold

Molten, craven, hammered, rolled,
Heavy 10 get and light to hold,
Hoarded, bartered bought and sold
Stolen, borrowed, squandered, doled,
spurned by the young, but Rugged by the old
To the very verge of the churchyard mould;
Price of many crime untold -
Gold gold gold gold
Good or bad, thousand fold,
How widely its agencies vary
To save to ruin, to curse, to Bless
As even its minted coin express
Now stamped with the image of gooa.Queen Bess,

A genteman,s name.
A lady's name
A genteman's name.
Name of a clergyman.
A sum Of money.
Any number at all.
When these conditions have been complied
with, the gentleman is requested to read of
the list thus prepared. as answers to the fol
lowing series of questions
To whom did you make your first offer;
When?
In what place?
Does she love you!
Do you love her
Whom will you marrys
How soon!
Does she love you?
Do you love her!
Where does she reside
What is the color Of her hair?

ANEcDorE.-Whcn lawyer, on his passage
to Europe, was one day walking the deck, it
having blown pretty hard the proceeding day,
a shark was playing by the ship. Having
never seen such an object before, he called to
one of the sailors to tell him what it was.
"Why," replied the tar, I" | don't know
what name they know 'em by, ashore but here

SINGULAR OPTICAL ILLUsIoN.-The Paris
correspondent Of the N. Y. Times, states that
a gentleman living in Brussels, somewhat
troubled by cobwebs and spots on his eyse,
rubbed them one night with few drops of ex-
tract Of beladonna. In the morning the cob
webs had gone, but the whole outer face of
the world had changed His newspaper, which
had been placed by his bedside, was composed
type so small that he could hardly decipher
it. He rang the bell, and his stout serving
wench had shrunk into thin little girl of ten
years. He got up in great fright and looked
after his clothing-they were the garments Of
d child, but as his own limbs had diminished
In proportion, he easily got into them. He
found his wife ind children at the table, the
former dwarf, and the latter q row Of dolls.
He hurried off to his physician the horses he
met looked like dogs, and dogs like rats.
Everything was LiIIiput and Cinderella To-
tlons were applied to the victims eyes, and
the next day Brobdignag returned, bringing
back the coOwebs and spots. This phenome-
non, called micropie, does not seem to have
occurred more than halt-a-dozen times, though
it may be brought on at will by the employ
ment Of certain substances
