A Religious Dog.

The New York correspondent of the
Boston Journal is responsible for the fol-
lowing:
In the ancient and beautiful town of
Chatham, New York, is a very remarkable
dog, whose character and behavior would
excite the admiration of all good men,
On week days he is dog of like passions
and behavior with other animals, but on
Sunday bis peculiarities and sectarian pre-.
judices shine out. Unlike the crow, he
can count, and knows when Sunday
comes He is not the same then as on 9TH
er days. He indulges in no pastimes.-
He encourages no company and no famil-
iarity. He says in actions louder than
words to the vain and canine race-"Six
days shalt thou play and do all your
sports"
The family are all Presbyterians, but
the dog is Methodist. On Sunday
mornings be attends the family on their
way to church, leaves them at the door of
the house Of the Lord where they attend,
and then goes on his solitary and unbro-
ken way till he comes to the Methodist
church, which is little further on
When he reaches the church, he goes up
stairs, and has particular, place in which
he sits; and when an intruder ventures
into his place, no belle or madam of fash
ion, who goes sweeping up the aisle of
Grace and finds plebeian in her elegant
pew, can give more decided indications of
displeasure and annoyance than does the
dog. His seat yielded, he attends the SER
vice with decorum, and pays dogmatical at
tention to the word of Scripture. Every
Sunday he can be seen on bis way to
church, foul weather as in fair-and his
denominational prejudices are as well
known as those of any gentleman in town.
