Dog Story.

"Pat is just one of the best dogs
out strong as lion, bat gentle az q
lamb. He leaves nothing alive upon
which he 10 fairly "set, but he
would not rnfile the feathers of q
chicken unbidden, for his right paw.
He will drag the children in cart as
long as he can drag himself, and new
er utter a word of complaint but wo
betide the being who comes within
reach when duty calls him to stern
er mood.
A very useful dog is Pat too. He
will carry and fetch anything entrust-
ed to him, and make himselfvery gen.
orally useful in the way Of errand-go-
ing. He divides his time between one
Of our neigbbors and farm mile of,
and saves many journey back and
forth, Of those who would make more
fuss about it.
The otler day he was sent to the
farm for basket Of eggs. 1t was OBJ
served that he did not come back as
promptly as usual. but the circum-
stance excited no special attention. He
came in at last. looking as though
nothing had happened. He was glad
to see the folks, and appeared very
much at ease and perfectly satisfied
with himself with no goadings Of con-
science to mar his happiness In the
midst Of his apparent happiness. how.
ever, he was interrupted with the in
quiry." Pat. where are your eggs -
His tail Eel, about sixty degrees in
stantly. aud with look perfectly iu-
telligible he turned and was off.
Going TO a pile Of timber not far
away be found his basket ofeggs, and
bringing them home, made the best
apology dog could make, and gave
them into the hands Of his mistress.
On inquiry. it was ascertained that on
his way home he met some other dogs,
and feeling little social. he put his
eggs in safe place and stopped for
q social chat with his friends, and fin.
ally went home forgetting to take his
eggs along. We believe this is the
first instance in which dog has been
shown TO have forgotten anything.

When the world without is cherries,
And our summer friends have flown,
When the earth seems one vast city
And we walk its streets alone;
Then the innocence of children
Tells us that there still is hope,
And we see the light approaching,
Though in darkness now we grope.
Is it home without the chatter
OF their voices, full and sweet!
Is it home without the patter
Of their never-resting feet!
There Is magic In their presence,
And its power none can tell
Who are strangers to the children
And have never known their spell.
In the little buds of promise
Clustering in worldly home,
We may see an early symbol
Of the happiness to come:
When our weary feet shall wander
TO better world than this,
May we be as little children,
Entering home Of bliss.

Tho Attorney and q BLACKBOARD.

The Attorney and q BLACKBOARD.
Touching felicitous endings, West.
ern correspondent supplies legal in
cident that will be appreciated, we
know.
Several years ago. when one Of our
present Justices Of the Supreme Court
was District Attorney Of a neighboring
county, rather a laughable incident
occurred, as related by himself. Court
week he used to occupy bedroom at
Lewis Hotel the principal hotel at
the county seat. He had his books
and papers in this room. Here he
drew his indictments. and in important
cases he used to direct the sheriff to
bring the peoples witnesses for pre-
liminary examination.
1t happened at one session that he
had an important murder case coming
ON. The celebrated General (now
Judge) Nye was counsel for the de-
fcndant. He examined the witnesses,
as usual, and took careful minutes Of
what they would say on the stand.
He found that lady was the most
important witness for the people, and
he also discovered that she was rath.
er excited and high strung, and fast
talkcr.
Apprehensive of trouble, he thought
he'd caution her a little. So he told
her when she came on the stand not
to talk. Pay attention" says the
District Attorney to my questions.
and answer them, but don't talk and
when Nye comes to examine you,
be very careful and don't get excited,
for he is q great BLACKBOARD. and will
try 10 get yon mad. just pay atten-
ton to his questions. and answer them,
no matter how apparently silly. but
don't allow him to get you of your
hallance."
The District Attorney and witness
parted for the night. The next day
the case came on. The District At
torney called his witness, and sh'
went through her evidence on the par
Of the people to his admiration, an,
he handed her over to Nye.
AAC wCut osOuS o"uhC vCty otuOOtuty
Pretty soon he began to crowd her
aud she began to flare up :" h,
crowded the more, and she resented
the more, and soon they had a rcgula
breeze. Finally. having Lost self-cou
troll. she broke out on him as follows
! won't answer any more Of you
contemplate questions /; you're na,
~, dirty BLACKBOARD. and the Distric
Attorney told me So"
After the laugh had partly subs
ded, Nye said:
What the District Attorney toll
you 80 Z When and where did he tel
you sol
He told me so last night in hi
own bedroom"
The scene that followed this answe
may be readily imagined. In tn
midst of the shout Nye told the wi
ness she might "pass."

THEORY OF GOSSIP.

We are often asked, "What is Cos
sipY" We answer, In general way,
it is talking of persons rather than
things. Nothing shows the paucity
of ideas more than this talking about
the affairs of your neighbors- 1t is
not oasy malicious people who origi-
nate scandal, il II narrow-minded
people, ignorant people, stupid people.
Persons OF culture and intelligence are
not 80 hard run for topics of conver.
salion. They can usually find some
thing to say about art, literature, fash.
ion or society. The moment people
begin to talk Of their neighbors--of
persons rather than things--they are
apt TO degenerate into scandal; for
where one speaks of the virtues of an
acquaintance, n dozen expatiate on
his or her shortcomings. And this
brings us TO speak of real culture, or
what we consider To be such ut least.
A cultivated person, in the highest
sense of the term, is not merely one
who can talk OF books, pictures and
other elevated subjects OF human in-
terest. To be thoroughly cultivated,
the heart, us wen as the intellect
should be refined and enlarged. Some
times we see women who, without ed
ucation, yet having been born anna
BILE, are never guilty ofgossip. Again,
we see women, not naturally amiabie,
whom education has taught to talk of
things, not of persons. The perfect
woman, in this respect, is one, who rs
both amiabIe and educated. But ed.
ucation does not always elevate peo'
pie above the regions of gossip. A
really bad heart is always malicious.
The best advice VIC can give ID the
homcly old adage 'Mind your own
business Very few of us ever know
the whole truth about anything con-
cerning a neighbor; and to speak OF
his or her conduct is usually to ran
the risk OF being unjust. Much less
should we talk ofthe motives OF others.
Very few of us know our own mo-
tives, and to venture discussing .
ncighbor' motives is always imperu'
nence, and often n real crime. t
