ALIlEGoRIcAL "A traveller, setting
out upon a long journey, was assailed
on the road by ours, mastiffs, and half
grown puppies, which came out from
their kennels to bark at bin as he
passed along. He often dismounted
from his horse to drive them back
with stones and sticks, into their
hiding places This operation was
repeated every day, and some as often
as twenty times day. The conse-
quence was, that more than half the
travellers time was consumed In chas-
ing the dogs and puppies. At last
he was overtaken by a neighbor, who
was going the same road, but who set
out a long time after him. The latter
traveller was very much surprised to
find the other no furher on his journey
aud on hearing the reason" "Alas !!
said he, " is it possible yon have lost
your time and wasted your strength
in this idle occupation 7 These same
animals have beset me all along the
road, but l have saved my time and
my labor in taking no notice of their
barkings I; while you have lost yours
in resenting insults which did you no
harm, and in chastising dogs and pup
pies whose manners yon can never

AWFUL SACRIFICES on GooDs.--A
popular writer gives his experience on
this subject, as follows.
Tried all the rest of the Awful
Sacrifices, and discovered that always
where the sacrifice is the awfulest, the
goods are the highest priced When
ever New York merchant has any
damaged or unsuitable trash in his
store, he marks up, Great Sacrif ce |
Tremendous Sacrifices = or awful
Sacrifice 7 according to the kind Of
store it is. In great sacrifice
place they only charge you four prices
for the article. When the sacrifice
is tremendous they ask six prices
and send you always a poorer quality
of goods than you buy and in an
awful sacrifice establishment they
make you pay anything they like,
give you counterfeit money in change
and have boy stationed at the door
to pick your pocket at that before
yon get into the street.

of discipline. A company was keep
ing guard at the Arsenal The Colo
mel of the regiment passing by, saw
the sentinel inattentive to his duty
he took away his gun, then entered
the arsenal A subordinate officer was
connecting a cocktail
"Where is the Captain 7" the Col.
onel asked.
"Up stairs"
"Please say to him that / want to
see him."
"Wel, 1 will, after l take drink"
said the subaltern. After swallowing
his tody. he went up stairs to the
Captain The Colonel is down stairs
and wishes to see you, Captain"
"Well, if he wishes to see me more
than I do him, just tell him to walk
up" said the Captain who was lying
on bed.
The Colonel went up stairs, and
found the Captain taking things easy,
!" Sir, You ought to be drilling your
company. Your sentinel don't know
how to do his duty, and I took his
gun away from him.
"Well, I dare say he will be much
obliged to yon." I reckon he was
tired of carrying it,"
