The Human Nature of Dogs.

There is a gooddeal of humanity, of all shad
in dogs, as we all know If they exhibit our
virtues they are not above frequent adoption Of
our vices, as is well illustrated in the following
story of the Greenfield Gazette
"a citizen of this village, the other day.
observed three dogs, (say big dog, middling
dog and little dog engaged in an earnest con-
test for refuse bone. After long but fruit
less struggle, MILDLY and little dog gave up,
went home apparently, leaving big dog poss-
essor of the bone. Waiting till his antag onists
were entirely out of sights, he cast search
ing glance around, seized the bone, carried it
away some distance and buried it, to wait till
supper time before eating it-for they say
dogs ks~nv~ vvi1cn Sunday comes, or course
they must know when supper times comes,
whether supper comes with it or not Big
dog departed MILDLY, instead of really going
home, went straight in that direction till he
was out of sight Of big dog and slyly crept to a
hiding place where he could see big dog and
not be seen by him. As soon, therefore big dog
was fairly away, MILDLY sprang from his lair,
bounded straight to the spot, dug up the bone
and carried it to another place. Looking care
fully around to see if he was watched, as all
thieves do, he dug hole and buried the bone,
then trotting off as composedly as if he had
committed no crime. But he lost his booty
too, for little dog had done as MILDLY had
gone home, far enough to get out of sight, then
skulked and watched and waited, till MILDLY
was fairly away, he rollicked over the ground,
redug the treasure and buried in still another
place"

Mixing up Of Babies.

The Weayerville (Cal.) Journal gives the
following account of an affair which, however
it may move the laughter Of our readers we
fancy to have made some Of the parties con-
eerned laugh on the wrong side of their
mouths -
Some time ago there was dancing party
given up north most Of the ladies present
had little babies, whose noisy perversity re-
quired too much attention to permit the moth
ers to enjoy the dance. A number of gallant
young men volunteered to watch the young
ones while the PARENTS INDUCED in breakdown
No sooner had the women left the babies in
charge Of the mischeivous devils, than they
stripped the infants, changed their clothes,
giving to one the apparel of another. The
dance over, it was time to go home, and the
mothers hurredly took each baby, in the
dress of her own, and started, some to their
homes, ten or fifteen miles of, and were far on
their way before daylight. But the day fol-
lowing there was prodigious row in that set
Element; mothers discovered that a single day
changed the sex of their babes observation
disclosed startling physiological phenomena,
I'd then commenced some of the tallest fe-
male pedestrianism living miles apart, it re-
quired two days to unmix the babies, and as
many months to restore the women to their
naturally sweet dispositions. To this day it
is unsafe for any of the baby mixers to venture
within the territory"

The Fashions.

A Paris letter says, white muslin robes
with little embroidered colored spot, bid fair
to be the rage this summer. They are made
with anumber of scolloped founces, the edges
are button-holed with cotton, the color OF
spot. The bodice is low, and over it is a
bertha, crossing in front, and trimmed with
festooned frills The Beauharnais canezon is
quite new. On the skirt are nine founees, each
with pink or blue ribbon through the hem.
Between every third founce is a space filed
up with bouillons and ribbon. All down one
side bowsofribbon are attached to each flounce.
On the side two large bows are fixed to the
bouillons. The corsage bow and square, is
worn with little fchu which leaves the
throat bare, and covers the shoulders. The
81 eeves have five hounces and five bows of rib
bon. The distinguishing mark. of this cos
tune is very wide sash, which goes round
the waist and ties behind like o childs the
ends finished by deep fringe. This dress is
charming in the country, when accompanied
by Fornorina straw hat trimmed with wild
flowers

A Romance Of the Last Island Calamity

At the time when that terrible catastrophe
occurred at Last Island, off the Southern coast
Of louisiana, by which SO many people were
swept bodily into the Gulf by the raging tenn
pest or oyertaken and drowned by the rising
fiood that overwhelmed the low, sandy key, a
middle AGED gentleman and his family, consist
ing of wife and three or four children, were
involved in the calamity.
In the midst of the thick gloom, the storm
the confusion and terror of the scene, the gen.
tleman became separated from his little family,
and barely escaped with his life. The horror
and distress Of the poor man at the sudden
loss Of his dear ones, may be imagined by
those who love their own wives and children.
For several days his friends feared that his
mental sufferings would deprive him of reason,
and one of them kindly invited him to make
his home at his house in New Orleans, for a
time, hoping that he would gradually come to
look more calmly upon the misfortune that
had be.allen him.
1t happened that with the family in which
he thus became domsticated, was living a
young and accomplished lady, Of fine person
and manners, who having compassion upon
the affl cted stranger, took upon herself the
pious duty of doing every thing in her power
to alleviate his sorrows and make him forget
the past She played and sang for him, read
to him, rode with him, and finally laughed and
joked with him-so feeting and transitory
are the greatest of human griefs when brought
under the influence of the enjoyments and e.
lights of life
In BRIEF she carries her consultations SO TAI
that the gentleman became enamored, infatua-
ted, and offered her his hand and fortune
Whether she reciprocated his passion, or
whether the fact that she was poor school
teacher, and he wealthy planter, influenced
her decision upon this proposition, IS not
question proper to be considered here Suffice
it to say that she accepted his offer, STIMULATING
that out of due respect to public opinion,
