A Dog Story.

The New York correspondent of the Ports
mouth Journal narrated the following:
| 1t has always been belief of mine that
| animals of the dumb creation think, all argu-
ments to the contrary Notwithstanding, and |
have recently heard dog story from some
Portsmouth friends resident in Brooklyn, that
| has increased my faith in the matter. Some
neighbors of theirs have a very fine specimen
of Newfoundland dog, who, if half heard
of him be true, can do almost anything but
| talk
Not long since, his mistress said to him,
"Ponto, you may 60 out in the front yard and
stay half an hour, but don't go outside of the
gate" After he had been gone short time
his well known knock was heard at the door,
and, being opened, Ponto was discovered ac-
| companied by half starved, abject looking OBJ
ject of his own species, with one of his legs dis
abled, which he induced to follow him into
the front basement, and lie down on NICE
soft mat near the door. He then went into
the kitchen and intimated to Bridget that he
wanted his usual forenoon's lunch, which hay
ing procured, he took it to his new friend
laid it down before him, and looked on with
evident satisfaction while he ate it.
AS PontO's mistress did not want a board
er of that description, she told him he must
introduce his new friend into the street again,
which he pretended at first not to understand
but finally, in very apologize way, did as
he was ordered, assisting his unfortunate COM
panion up two or three steps into the street,
and looking afterhim as he limped on his way,
with sad and troubled countenance. So
much for PontO's character for benevolence.
OF his character as night watch, learn
that one night during the past summer he dis
covered that the front door had been mad
vertently left open. He knew that was not
correct, although the outside blind door was
fastened by dead latch; so he went to his
masters bedroom, walked him up, and would
not leave the room until he followed him
down stairs and closed the door. He is thought
to be worth three star policemen and pair
of private watchmen.

county. Mrs. Amy, the wife of Mr.. Bigg,

The Human Face.

The Rev. Orvile Dewey in one of his lee
lures on the Problem of Human destiny, re-
marks
"The expression of the face is beautiful
distinction of humanity. We are little aware
of the influence it constantly exerts.-
If the horse or dog, when suffering
from a blow from the violence of man could
turn upon him with look of indignation or
appeal, could any one resist the power of the
mute expostulation How extraordinary, too
the difference ofexpression in the human face,
by which the recognition of personal identity
is secured On this small surface, nine inch
es by six are depicted such various traits, that
among the millions ofinhabitants of the earth,
no two have the same lineament of the face
What dire confusion would ensue if all coun-
tenances were alike: If fathers did not know
their own children by sight, nor husbands
their wives But now we could pick out our
friends among the multtudes of the assembled
universe.

THE VOICELESS.

We count the broken Tyres that rest,
Where the sweet ailing singers slumber;
But Ger their silent sisters breast
The wild flowers who will stoop to number!
few can touch the magic string,
And noisy tame is proud to win them;
Alas for those that never sing,
But die with all their music in them.
Nav grieve not for the dead alone,
Whose song has told their hearts sad story
Weep for the voiceless who have known
The cross without the crown of glory!
Not where Leucadian breezes sweep
Ger Sappho's memory haunted billow.
But where the glistening night-dews weep
On nameless sorrows church-yard pillow.
Oh, hearts that break and give no sign
Save whitening lips and fading tresses,
Till death pours out his cordial wine,
Slow dropped from Misery's crushing press !;
If singing breath or echong chord
To every hidden pang were given,
What endless melodies were poured,
As sad as earth, as sweet as heaven!

By JAMES K. LOWELL

BY JAMES K. LOWELL.
We, too, have autumns, when our leaves
Drop loosely through the dampened air,
When all our good seems bound IN sheaves,
And We stand reaped and bare.
Our seasons have no fixed returns,
Without our will they come and go;
At noon our sudden summer burns,
Ere sunset all is snow.
But each day brings less summer cheer,
Crimps more our Intellectual sprung,
And something earlier every year
Our singing birds take wing.
As less the olden glow abides,
And less the chillier heart aspires,
With drift-wood beached in past spring tioes
We light our sullen fires.
BY the pinched rushlight's starving beam
We COVER and strain our wasted sight,
To stitch youths shroud up, seam by seam,
In the long arctic night.
Ii was not so--we once were young
When Spring to womanly summer turning
Her dew-dropS on each grass blade strung,
In the bright sunrise burning
We trusted then. aspired, believed,
That earth could be re-made tomorrow;
All. WHY be ever undecelyed?
Why give up faith for sorrow:
o, thou whose days are Yet all spring,
Trust. blishted once, is past retrieving;
Experience is dumb, dead thing;
The victory's in believing.

Wife Or Wolff.

In France the Society for the Protection of
Animals does not enjoy that popular respect
which it deserves, the small wits of the capt.
tai indulging in endless Jokes at its expense.
The last joke is to this effect
A cOuntryman armed with an immense
club presents himself before the President of
the Society and claims the first prize. He is
asked to describe the act of humanity on
which he POUNDS his claim.
I" l have saved the life of WOLF" replied
the countryman; 81 might easily have killed
him with this bludgeon," and he swings the
weapon in the air to the intense discomfort OF
the President.
" But where was this WOLF" inquired the
latter, what had he done to you?"
" He had just devoured my wife," was the
reply.
The President reflects an;instant, and then
says, "My friend am..of the opinion that
you have been sufficiently rewarded"

PLURIBUS UNUM.

Though many and bright are the stars that appear
In that flag by our country unfurPd,
And the stripes that swelling in majesty there,
Like a rainbow adjoining the world;
Their lights are unsullied rs those in the sky,
BY deed which our fathers have done,
And they're leagued in as true and as holy ue
In their motto of Many in OneW
From the hour when those patriots fearlessly flung
That banner of starlight abroad,
Ever true to themselves, to that motto they clung
AS they chung to the promise of God.
By the bayouet traced at the midnight of war,
On the fields where our glory was won;
Oh perish the heart or the hand that would mar
Our motto of Many in One."

a MEMORY.
ny GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

1 know fair young girl,
With spirit wild and free
As the birds that fit Ger the dimpling w~'e'
Then away to the wildwood nee;
And she seems like wreath of mist
As she moves through the summer p'"s''
With a step too hoatngly soft to preaA
The sleep of the dreaming ho"e
Her eve is bright and clear
As the depths of the shaded sP.,ns'
And beauty's name on her pro" - Se'
On her cheek its signet ring;
And her voice is like the sound
Of wave through the twihShi leaves,
~ P.rSs tones from moonlight cloud
In the hush of the summer ewes.
Along her temples pale
The blue veins seem 10 how,
In their winding course, half seen, half hid,
like streams in a field of snow;
And her shining tresses there
Their beautiful light unfold,
Like painted cloud where the sunset lifts
Its shadowy wings Of gold.
To ME each thought of her
Is CLEAN of light and love,
gentle dream sent down TO earth
From the holy depths above;
It's blessed sunbeam cast
On atfiiction's cloud of tears,
A star DER the waste of weary heart,
A bow on the sky OF years

LOVE SONG.
BY ASSON G. CHESTER.

She who sleeps upon my heart,
Was the first to win ii;
She who dreams upon my breast,
Ever reigns within IL;
She who kisses oft my lips,
Wakes their warmest blessing;
She who rests within mine arms
Feels their closest pressing.
Other hours than these shall come,
Hours that may be weary;
Other days shall greet us yet,
DAYS that may be dreary;
Still that heart shall be thy home,
Still that breast thy pillow;
Still those lips meet thine, as oft
Billow meeteth billow.
Sleep, then, on my happy heart,
Since thy love hath won 1t;
Dream, then. on my loyal breast
None but thou hast done it;
And when age our bloom shall change,
With its wintry weather,
Nav we, in the self-same grave,
Sleep and dream together!

DREAM dream of happier time,
When the world shall all be free;
When the storms of sorrow, vice and crime
On the earth no more shall be.

But wake from this happy dream to find
The world is sinful still.
