/ (and influenced by motives so contradictory
as not to be susceptible of explanation de-
| puted confidential servant named Grimswig
to carry Dunder to distant pond and drown
him. And if were really engaged in relat-
| ing so trifling but veracious story as this, |
should go on to inform you that they each
happened to hit on the very same servant
by whom to send the dog, and the very same
day, and the very same hour Of the day.
Now, after Grimswig had been gone with
Dunder some four or five hours, the baron
and baroness began to take a new view of the
matter, and eachfetguity of a very cruel, dis
reputable act. Each of them, unknown to the
other, passed a most miserable night, and in
the morning they made clean breast of it.
The baroness first opened the subject, and re-
questing to see her husband privately, she an
nounced to him with 4 great appearance of
remorse, that she chad something very par
ticular to say to him"
"Ah, so have to you," he replied.
''Well, my dear" remarked the baroness,
''the dog"
eyes," reiterated the baron, "the dog"
''Sent off, said the baroness.
eyes, sent of, sighed the baron.
YESTERDAY, by Grimswig," continued the
baroness.
'Ah, yes, rejoined the baron, yesterday,
by Giimswig."
''ro be drowned whimpered the baroness,
through her tears.
EYES," groaned the baron, 'to be drown
ed"
"Nev--nev-nev- new never see poor
Dunder again" bubbered the baroness.
Mo- NORTHUMBERLAND see poor
Dunder again." more loudly blubbered the
baron.
''Can you forgive me, my dear Buzfuz?"
asked the baroness, in her most beseeching
tones.
''Forgive yOu!" exclaimed the astonished
baron, "why l am the one who ought to ask
| forgiveness, for | sent off the dog"
'You sent off the dog?" inquired the bar
oness, now on her part perfectly astonished.
eyes, sent off the dog"
'By Grimswig?"
ayes, by Grimswig."
''TO be drowned?"
eyes, to be drowned"
Then the odd coincidence of the whole af-
fair at once flashed through their minds, on
which they both wcpt and begged forgiveness
of each other; and after that they kissed to
make friends, and vowed they would never do
such silly wicked thing again.
But when they thought of poor Dnnder,
| drowned and dead, their tears flowed afresh !;
| anu inc DaTOHes5 OUSefNeu that allnOugll she
now loved her dear Baron Buzfuz better than
all the dogs in the world, yet she would be
willing to set the old castle on fire it she
could only see poor Dunder again alive and
well. The baron on his part affirmed that his
| dear Rayenell Buzfuz was dearer to him now
than ever Dunder was, but at the same time he
would agree to go without lager beer all his
life, and drink nothing but wine, if he could
bring poor Dunder to life MS easily as he had
ordered him to be drowned.
Strange to relate, while they were condoling
with each other in this melancholy manner,
in rushed Dunder, looking just as lively and
brisk as though he had never met with a wat
cry grave in the whole course Of his natural
life. In fact he never had, for Grimswg was
a wise old codger, and very wisely concluded
that these tffs and jealouses among young
married persons meant little or nothing, and
hence he had merely shut Dunder in an out
| house until about the time that he thought the
dog might be wanted.
The baron and baroness learned several
useful lessons by this event
First-Neycr to be Jealous.
Second-Nevcr to love man, woman or dog
better than each other.
Third-Ncver to send old GrimSwig off
upon the bootess, and fruitless business of
drowning a dog, and especially such dog
as Dunder.--Ncc York Commercial AdUer-
