A Singular Dog Story.

Theophile Gautier, a French writer
on animals, tell a singular story Of dog
he owned. The dog was a spaniel, and
his name was Zamore. He was neither
stylish in form nor handsome in color ;
but he was a dog Of very marked char.
acteristics, many cccentricities, aud
much artistic taste. One Of his charac.
teristics was his invariable aud utter re.
iusal to notice women ut all and 10
fact, the only person for whom he seem.
ed TO have any special affection was
Gautier's father, whom he followed. step
By step, wherever he went, but always
IN the most demure manner, keeping close
to the old gents hells, and never stop.
ping to gambol with other dogs, or even
turn his eyes from his masters steps.
Que day Hamore heard music in the
street; aud on going to the window. saw
a band of trained dogs dancing on their
hind legs to the sound of music. Ia
more was immediately seized with an
irresistible desire to be among them ;
aud ut once rushed to the street. and
mingling with the dancing dogs en-.
dea7ored nwkwaraly TO initiate their
motions but only got cut by the show
mans whip, and driven ignominously
back into the house. From that hour
the dogs peace of mind, and even his
appetite, iorsook him. After a while a
strange noise was heard in the nigh,
time, in the room where Zamore usually
slept, which continued night after night.
On investigating the matter for canse,
Zamore was discovered practicing on
his hind legs the steps which he had SO
much admired in the trained dors
which he had dancing in the streets
And this practice he continued, running
into the streets whenever he heard the
sound of the dancing dogs, aud watch.
ing their steps with curious interest. in
order to practice them at night. This
he did until he had acquired a good dc.
gree Of proficiency in the art. One fine
morning the servants were astonished
to find some fifteen or twenty dogs gath.
cred in a circle 10 the COURTYARD. with
Zamore in the middle, exhibiting all his
fine dancing acquisition to his admiring
friends. The dog survived but short
time afterwards, the author saying his
disease remsembled brain fever. and
that it was brought on by close applica

NO NIGHT.

OF al the wondrous things We read
OF that Heaven so dear and fair,
There's none that seems 80 strange as this
And there shall be no night there"
No gathering Of its solemn shade
For hush of Nature's song
Only q thrill Of holy joy
Through that perfect day and long.
No parting gin from the dying day
In sunsets golden hue,
When DER the earth the shadows come,
Still as the falling dew.
No shooting of the crystal stars
Across the dark on high
No more watching with ycarning thoughti
The moon sail over the sky.
For of all the footsteps Of God
That nature reveals to sight,
In none does lie come so near to man
AS the deep and solemn night.
Trembling we feel Him pass,
When shadows conceal Ills face,
Making the stiffness Ills temple-
Its darkness His secret place.
And we know how changed we must be,
In that life beyond the veil,
To bear the living glory-tides
That never ebb or fail.
Yet strange as all this seem to US,
With earth so fair and bright
We are waiting with patient hearts to go
Where there is no more night.

Chloroform.

Tho story of the discovery of the
properties Of ehloroform in England is
this: A Mr.. Waldic, chemist an book.
seller at Linlithgow, had one day some
OF the liquid ina saucer, when a gentle
man entered the shop with little dog.
The chloroforn was placed upon the
ground to be out Of the way, aud pres.
emily the dog was discovered living by
the side of the saucer unconscious. and
apparently dead. After time, how
ever, while the stranger was mourning
over the loss of his pet, the dog moved
his limbs, and gradually regained con.
seriousness. Mr.. Waldie began to think
he had made discovery, and after hay.
ing administered chloroform to a mum.
Der OF cats with the same result. was
confirmed in his belief. He went to
Edinburg to relate his story to some
medical man, aud at the suggestion Of a
friend called upon Professor James Y.
Simpson. After that interview Simp.
son tried number ofexperiments, and
proved beyond all question the virtues
ofchloroform as an anaesthetic. Chloro.
form, it viii be remembered. was dis.
covered by Soubeiran in 1881, so that
the composition had been long known
to chemists before its special property
was ascertained.
