Several slugS made from the lead,

fired. The charge entered at the left

A DOG STORY.

My oldest son was crossing the
fields in the country, some distance
from any dwelling, when he was pur-
sued by large and fierce dog belong
ing to the gentleman whose land he
was crossing. The lad was alarmed
and ran for his life.. He struck into a
piece of woods, and the dog gained
upon him, when he looked around to
see how near the creature was, and
stumbling over stone, he pitched off
a precipice and broke his leg. Unable
to move, and at the mercy of the
beast, the poor fellow saw the dog
coming down upon him, and expected
to be seized and torn when, to his
surprise, the dog came near, perceived
the boy was hurt, instantly wheeled
about, and went off for that aid which
he could not render himself. There
was no one within the reach of the
child's voice, and he must have per-
ished there or have dragged his broken
limb along, and destroyed it so as to
render amputation necessary, if the
dog did not bring him help. He held
up his leg, and it hung at right an
gle, showing him plainly the nature of
his misfortune, and the necessity of
lying still. The dog went off to the
nearest house and barked for help.
Unable to arrest attention, he made
another visit Of sympathy to the boy,
and then ran to the house, there MAX
ing such demonstrations of anxiety,
that the family followed him to the
place where the child lay. Now OBJ
serve that this dog was pursuing this
boy as an enemy: but the moment he
saw his enemy PROSTATE and in dis
tress, his rage was turned to pity, and
few to his relief. Here was true feel
ing, and the course he pursued showed
good judgement. He was a dog of
heart and head Very few men, not
all Christians, help their enemies when
they are down. Some do not help
their friends when they fall. This
dog was better than many men. do
not say that he reasoned i'd this mat
ter, but there is something in his con-
duct on this occasion that looks so
much like the right kind of feeling and
action, that / think it deserves to be
recorded to his credit. AS few dogs

say from twenty-five to thirty, after
having packed them closely and sprink-
led them slightly with salt, I let them
lie thus for three days; then make
brine sufficient to cover them, by put
ting salt into clear water, making it
strong enough to bear up a sound egg
or potato. | then add half pound
of saltpetre, and gallon of molasses;
let them lie in this brine for six weeks
they are then exactly right. then
take them up and let them drain; then
while damp, rub the feshy side and
the end of the leg with finely pulverized
black, red or cayenne pepper; let it
be as fine as dust; dust every part of
the feshy side, then hang them and
smoke. You may leave them hanging
in the smoke house or other cool place
where the rats cannot reach them, and
they are perfectly safe from all insects;
