FIDELTTY OF Doc To HIS MAsTER.-A Mil
wsukee paper says man living near Wsuwato-
sa started for home drunk one day last week,
and on the way laid down by the railroad track
and went to sleep. His faithful dog stood and
watched over him until the whistle Of looomo-
tive in the distance showed that train was sp-
preaching. The dog tried to arouse the drunken
man, and tore his clothes badly in the attempt.
Unable to awake the sleeper. the dog took the
mar by the shoulder and fairly dragged him
from the track just as the train came on. The
msu WAS saved, but the poor dog WAS struck
by the COW catcher and smashed to pieces.

CHTLDrRS's PARrIts.-The London Lancet
has the following admirable obsery atious on
childre4s parties, subject akin TO the
"late hours" recently discussed in the papers
Childrens parties among the many pecu-
liarities Of our present social life The scale
aud style Of them at the present day are quite
peculiar, The little guests are summoned two
or three weeks beforehand. probably by gilt
edged circulars, and in terms formal and com
plimentary they assemble in the evening, and
stay well on towards midnight.
We shall leave to others the consideration of
the moral consequence with all the forms Of
fashionable society. and shall conhre ourselves
tosa consideration Of the physical consequences,
which We take to be injurious and undenable.
Children are excited beforehand, and still
more at the time. They are dressed insufficient
ly they dance themselves into great fatigue
they eat and drink, 1t late evening hours, what
would try their digestion badly enough in the
mid-dsy vigor aud, worst Of all, they lose
from two to six hours sleep.
The ulterial consequences of this dssrrange-
ment Of their habits and their functions are
paleness, lsnguor, and the development of various
other ailments By all means let children have
their own gatherings, but let them be within
reasonable hours. Let food be simple, dress
sufficient and warm. And above all, let not
the precious hours of sleep be curtailed just
when, by reason Of excitement and exhaustion,
they need to be extended What pleasure are
children to get out Of society when they become
young men and women, if they are to be sltiated
and exhausted with formal and late evening
parties when they have barely got into their
teens
