ARemarkable Dog.

The following 8ell,authenticated Incl
dent, taken from celebrated French
work, LHistoire des Chiens Celebres,
shows that well educated dog, under ex-
citing circumstances, ca, not only reason
and act with wonderful decision and pres.
.ellce of mind, but can also manifest
feeling of revenge, which is not only for.
eign. to his natural character, but which:
can hardly be surpassed in intensity by a
christian warrior. Mustipha, strong
and active greyhound, belonged to'an
artillerist of Dublin. Raised from its
birth in the midst of camps, it always &C.
companied its master, and exhibited no
alarm in the midst Of battle. In the hot
test engagement, it remained near the
cannon, and carried the match In its mouth.
At. the memorable battle of Fontenoi,
when the square battalions of the Hano.
.verians were broken, the master Of Mus
tigha received mortal wound. AT the
moment when about to fire upon the ene-
nv, he and several Of his corps were
struck to the earth by discharge of ar
tillery. Seeing his master extended life
less and bleeding, the dog became desper-
ate, and hoWled piteously. Just at that
time. q body of French soldiers were ad-
vancing to gain possession of the piece,
which was aimed at them from the top Of
small rising ground, Who would be.
lieve.it, if the fact were not attasted by
seyersl witnesses worthy of credit p
Doubtless with a view to revenge his mas
ter's death, Mustipha seized the lighted
match with bis mouth, and set fire to the
| cannon loaded with case shot! Seventy
| men fell on the spot, and the remainder
took to flight: Aiter this bold stroke, the
! dog lay down&sadly near the dead body
| of his master, licked his wounds, and
remained twenty-five hours without sus.
tt!tenance. He wasatt length, with difficulty
removed by the comrades of the deceased
This courageous greyhound was carried
to London, aud presented 70 George II.
who had him taken care Of as I. brave
servant.

"WHEN General Jackson was Presi-
dent Of the United States" said an aged
laborer in the Presidential garden few
years since, she could tell an honest man
from rogue when ne first saw him. |
remember that clergyman with stiff,
white choker, and untarnished suit of
black, called upon him one morning when
be was overlooking some work thatI was
performing in the garden, and requested
an appointment to some Office, saying,
@ General, | worked harder for your elec.
ton than many Of those upon whom you
have already bestowed an Office" "You
are minister Of the Gospel?" said Old
Hickory inquiringly, "Yes," said the.
clergyman, lwss minister butt thought
I could do better by becoming politician.
So / stamped the district week days for
you, and preached for the Lord Sundays" !"
Old Hickory, turning short toward him,
and looking him full in the face, said,
I" By the Eternal, if you would cheat the
Lord you would, cheat the country. /
will have nothing to do with you, nor
any like you. Good morning." and he
walked away rapidly. lnever shall for
get the looks Of that hypocritieal clergy
man. Had the last Judgment been set,
and he before the great throne, ] doubt
whether he would have looked more blank
and chopfallen.

ABour VA1Is-We recently inserted a
paragraph finding fault with the practice
of wearing vails-averring that it was
"mischievously prevalent this year." and
objecting to itbecause e they are so terri
bly, annoying and tantalizing to sensitive
young mon." To this o lady writer an.
swers-with much truth-as follows :
:" This is one Of the very best reasons that
could be given for wearing them. Walls
save women from vast amount of an.
noying impeitinence. 1t requires no
small degree of resolution for a sensitive
young girl to pass the corner of street
where knot of these susceptible young
men are congregated knowing that all the
curious ayes will be turned upon her, and
that her eyes, hair, walk, dress, size of
shoe and gloves, will be marks of their
close and impudent observation. Walls
have a special sanitary use during the
spring months, in the projection afforded
from the risagreeable influence of the
sun and wind but if comfort did not
call for them, we should advocate their
use until young men acquire the first
rules of politeness and manners in their
street Observation-Disclosures Republic.
