The Humanity Of a Dog.

/ There are often well-aGthenticated
eases, in which the instinct that some
| dogs possess in so wonderful a degree
rises TO the sublime nights Of a hui
manity that even some human beings
lack. A story of this nature is told OF
a couple of dogs, one of which was u
Newfoundland, and the other a mas
tiff. They were both powerful dogs
and, though each was good natured
when alone, they were very much in
the habit of fighting when they met
One day they had fierce and prOlong-
ed battle on pier, from the point of
which they both fell into the sea; and
as the pier was long and steep they
had no means of escape, but byswim-
ming considerable distance. Throw
ing water upon fighting dogs, is an ap-
proved means of putting an end to
their hOstilities; and it is natural to
suppose that two c0mbatants of the
same species, tumbling themselves
into the sea would have the same eff
feet. 1t had, and each began to make
for the land as best he could. The
Newfoundland, being an excellent
swimmer, speedily gained the pier, on
which he stood shaking himself off; {;
but, at the same time, watching the
motions of his late antagonist, who
being no swimmer, was struggling ex-
hausted, in the water, and just about
to sink. In dashed the NewfouDd-
land, took the other gently by the
collar, kept his head above water, and
brought him safely on shore. There
was a peculiar kind of recognition be-
tween the two animals. They never
fought again, they were always to-
gether, and when the Newfoundland
dog had been accidentally killed by the
passage of wagon over him, the 9TH
er languished and evidently iamented
for long time.

An OetOgenaPiau.

One of the most remarkable in
stances Of vigorous, green old age, has
recently been brought to our notice
says the Boston Journal in the per-
son of the the venerable John Chap
man, of the Salem Register, now near
ly eighty years of age. Mr.. Chapman
began his journalistic life as a bow i'm
the Office of the Essex RegiSer, when
Judge Story wrote the famous motto
Of that paper
Here shall the Press the peoples right
Unawed by influence and unbribed by gain
Here patriot Truth her glorious precept,
draw,
Pledged to Religion, Liberty and Law"
During the past fifty-six year, al
half-past twelve o'clock every Sunday
night, the city watchman patrOling
the street in front of his residence has
aroused him, and he haslarisen, and
going to his Office he has assisted in
making up the matter for his paper,
and mailing for mis- subscribers. Dur
ing all these years he has never miss
ed a single night, with the exception
of the time he was sick with the scar
let fever, and that was some twenty
years since, which was the only Occa-
sion he was ever i'll enough to have d

Candy Eating.

dy ," is a question over which parents
are sometimes puzzled. This is net
surprising, for doctors and doctors
books differ upon this question. Some
teach that candy is an evil TO be
avoided; Others, who like it them
selves, say that white candies are al
least harmless and may be eaten al
discretion. Neither side is quite right.
The chief injury candies do is that Ol
spelling the appetite for other food.
When honestly made, cOlOred candy
is quite harmless in itself Thus the
red candies are cOlOred with beet
juice. Bat it is safer on the whole to
stick to the white candies, which are
made of starch and sugar favored.
The love of sugar is a natural and
healthy appetite, especially in chill
dren, who need more saccharine mat
ter than grown persons. Yet they
should not be allowed to eat sugar to
the exclusion of heartier food. BY de-
vouring candy in large quantities be-
tween meals they spoil their appetite,

him leave full plate Of breakfast or
dinner. But after u meal he can eat
as much as he chooses without preOc-
cupying his appetite for the next
Good candy, eaten at the right time,

] sat alone with my conscience,
In place where time had ceased,
And we talked Of my fnrrnor living
In a land where tine time increa sed.
And feel should have 10 answer
The question il put TO me,
And face the answer and question
Throughout an eternity.
The ghosts Of forgotten actions
Came floating before my sight,
And things that thought were dead things
Were alive with terrible might.
And the vision OF my past life
Was an awful thing 20 face
I Along with my conscience sitting,
In that solemnly, silent place.
And I thought Of a far away warning
! Ofa sorrow that was TO be mine,
/ In land that then was the future,
! But is the present time.
! And thought Of my former thinking
Ofthe judgment day to be,
Z But sitting alone with my conscience
! Seemed judgment enough for me.
And 1 wondered iftnere was a future
/ To this land beyondIthe grave;
But no one gave me answer,
AMI no one came to save.
/ Then felt that the future was present,
And the present would never go by,
For Il was but the thought OF my past life
Grown into eternity.
Then awoke from my timely dreaming
And the vision passed away,
And knew the far away warning
Was a warning of yesterday
And pray that may not forget II,
In this land beyond the grave,
That may not cry In the future
And no one come TO save.
And so have learned a lesson
Which ought to have known before,
And which, though I learned # dreaming,

So sit alone with my conscience
In the place where the years increase,
And try 10 remember the future

Bound to do a Fun Days work

Mr.. NJ, of Oxford, don't objee
to having hired man do full
days work, at least, so we would Judge
from the following story:
A short time ago a man went to his
place to work. Mr.. M.-set him to
plOwing round a fOrty-acre field. At
ter he had plowed faithfully all day,
until the sun was half an hour high,
he expressed his opinion that it was
about time to quit work.
"Oh, no." said Mr.. -, "yOu can
plOw around six or eight times more
just as well as not"
So the hired man plOwed around six
or eight times, then went to the house
took care of the team. MIXED nine
cows, ate his supper, and found ten
O'Clock staring him in the face from
the old time-piece.
Said the hired man to Mrs. NJ:
"Where is Mr.. M-m
The good woman answered, 'iHe
has retired do you wish to see him ?i
He replied that he did. After being
conducted to the bedroom he said,
''Mr. NJ, where is the axe ."
"Why,n said Mr.. NJ, "what do
you want with the axe ?D
"Why," said the hired man, ~
thought you might like me to split
wood till broadcast is ready"
