VENGEANCE.

which prevailed at the time of which he
speaks, in consequence of an unreason-
able apprehension of hydrophobia, says
among other fine things, that the dog is
the only animal which will leave his own
kind, voluntarily to follow man.
Itis true, and the truth should bind
man to be the dogs protector and friend.
The American brig Cecilia, Capt.
s., on one of her voyages had on board
splendid specimen of the Newfound-
land breed named Napoleon and his mag
nifcent size and proportions, his intelli
gent head, broad white chest, white
feet, and white tipped tail, the rest of his
glossy body being black, made him as
beautiful as his peerless namesake, who
would, no eoubt, have been proud to
possess him.
Capt. Symmes, however, was not par
tial to animals of any kind, and had an
unaccountable and especial repugrance
TO dogs, as much so indeed, as if all his
aecnstors had died ofhybrophobia, and
he dreaded to be bitten like his unforlu-
nate predecessors.
This dislike he one day manifested in
a shocking manner, for Napoleon had
several times entered his room, and by
the wagging ofhis great banner of tail
knocked paper and ink off his desk. On
the next occasion the Captain seized a
knife and cut the poor animals tail of.
The dogs yell brought his master to
the. spot, and seeing the calamity and the
author of it without a moments besita-
tion he felled the Captain to the cabin
floor, with sledge hammer blow, which,
had it hit the temple, would forever pre-
vented the Captain from cutting off any
more dogs tails.
The result was that Landcaster was
put in irons, from which, he, however,
was soon released. Capt. Symmes re-
pented his cruel deed, on learning that
Napoleon had once saved his owners
life.
The white shark, as all my nautical
friends are well aware, is one of the
largest of sharks. 1t averages over twen-

formidable of sharks.
But few days elapsed after this ca
tastrophe of poor Napoleon ere he be-
came the hero of a more thrilling oc-
currence; the very thought of which has
often filled me with horror. During the
interval the noble beast was not at all
backward in exhibiting his wrath at the
Captain by his growls. whenever he ap-
preached.
In vain did his master, fearful for the
life of his dog, essay to check these
signs of his anger. Capt. Symmes howev-
er, made the allowance, and offered no
further harm to him.

As we pass though life, jostled by the
crowds that throng its busy pathway, we
often lose sight of those whom from q
short and trfnscient acquaintance are be.
come dear to us as older and tried friends
We forget them for while, when the
busy cares of life press heavily upon us
but when from WEAKNESS or disgust we
turn aside to some quiet nook or shady
by-paIb, their pleasant faces and kind
deeds well up like fresh fountains in
memory's desert.
Among such pheasant memories" ]
like to number Mr. and Mrs. PetIis.-
Years ago. when l plotted my daily
round in the avocation of teacher. their
kindness and friendship were like wine
that made glad my. often desponding
heart.
One evening in March / had been
watching the sun as it went down mid
gloomy clouds, foreboding storm for
the morrow. More thick and dense
they became, like squadrons of infantry
forming in battle array, while in the
northeast another threatning groupcame
moving slowly as if to join the forces in
the west. "Oh, what dreary eve
ming !" / said mentally. as 1 drew tie
curtains and seated myself by my soli-
tary 6reside, and thought of the cheer
full group around the far-off hearthstone
Of my own home.
A slight knock at the door disturbed
my reverie, and my friend Mr.. Pettis
entered. Emily sends her love, and
begs of you to come and spend the eve
ming and the morrow with her. She is
lonely and sad, little nervous l fancy,
from too much confinement and care,
caused by our restless babe. We ex-
pected Cousin Caroline to-day, but she
has not arrived, and Emily says 1 should
be SO glad if Ann were here, she is SO
cheerful and such good company"
Hooked at the mirror opposite, catch
ing glance at my pale. plain face. and
felt glad at heart that had found loving
friends in strange land. My bonnet
and shawl were quickly on, and we
were soon walking rapidly through Main
Street Of the busy town of N, Ohio.
The stores we're lighted. but their light
loomed out red and dim through the
gathering mist. Atthe bank we halted,
"just one minute" said Mr.. Pettis, and
he went in, leaving me without, but was
SO soon by my side again that 1 had
hardly noticed his absence. In his hand
he now held q leather bag full of hard
money, and carrying il thus carelessly,
as We walked and talked, we reached
his dwelling. Emily was in the nursery,
and thither we went. Her greeting was so
warm and cordial that one would have
supposed we had not met for MANY
months.
s'To tell the truth" said she, al have
the blues, and cannot endure 10 be alone
for an hour. Sukey their only domes-
tic. stout colored girl is gone for the
night. and I have had strange fears of
