Beecller's Dog Story.

WE know it is beneath the dignity ap-
propriatc to these editorial columns to tell
dog story in them-a dog story with not
even moral attached. But after Crap
pling witha six column article in the vain
attempt to get its pith into half column
(the fruit of which labor is delayed by an
accident till next week), we are going to
refresh our minds, if not our readers, by
telling dog story, pure and simple. We
protest in advance against any attempt by
Mr.. Darwin, his friends or his foes, to de-
duce from it that dogs can or cannot rea-
son, or to prove anything whatever. Now
for the dOgs-as to the veracity Of the tale
We personally vouch.
A narrow log lay as a bridge over a ra-
vine. From the opposite ends of the log,
at the same moment, there started to cross
it big Newfoundland and little Italian
greyhound. OF course they met in the
middle; OF course there was not room for
them them to pass neither could they go
back. The height was a dangerous one
to the greyhound, and to the water at the
bottom he was extremely avcrse. The
Newfoundland could have taken the leap
in safety, but evidently did not want to-
There was fix! The little dog sat down
on his launches, stuck his nose straight
in the air, and howlcd. The Newfound-
land stood intent, his face solemn with in
ward workings. Presently, he gave a
nudge with his nose to the bowling grey
hound, as if to say, Be still, youngster
and listen" Then there was silence and
seeming confabulation for second or tive
immediately the big dog spread his legs
wide apart, like Colossus, bestriding the
log on its extreme outer edges, and balanc-
ing himself carefully. The little dog
sprang through the opening like flash.
When they reached the opposite shores
the little greyhound broke into frantic
gambols Of delight, and the Newfoundland,
after his more scdate fashion, expressed
great complacency in his achievement, as
he surely had right to do.-Christian

Talue of Time.

Iwould gladly impress upon the mind
of every young man and maiden the value
of time Not SO much of weeks and
months as of hours and minutes. They
are the golden opportunities that arc so
irretricvnbly lost to many. How think
you would E!hu Burritt-the learned
blacksmith-have acquired such perfect
knowledge of ancient languages, had he
like many Of the young men around our
village corners-spent his leisure hours
and minutes III pitching horse shoes, an
occupation which certainly does not great

Had Horace Greeley, Robert Bonner,
and scores of others who have attained
positions and honor, spent all their earn

saloon, the ballroom and the grocery, they
might yet be setting type, or holding the
position of clerks and walters, while re.
cciving but few dollars per week in pay

would have remained in obscurity, and the
world would never have been the wiser

How to Keep Cool.

A CORRESPONDENT furnishes the Lon
don Times with the following hints, which
will be found pertinent to our own climate:
In these hot days cool apartment is q
real luxury to be had far ofteneT than most
people suppose possible The secret con-
sists, not in letting in cool air, for naturally
all do that whenever they have the chance;
but in keeping out the hot air. If the air
outside room or house be cooler than the
air inside, let it in by all means but if it.
be hotter, certainly keep it out.
A stair case window left open during the
night will often cool tho passages of q
house, and the rooms, too, iftheir doors be
not shut; but it must be closed at or
o'clock in the morning, or, ifon,the sunny.
side, at 4 or o'clock, and the blinds drawn
down. The mistake people generally
make is to throw open their windows at
all hours Of the day, no matter. whether
the atmosphere outside be cooror scorch-
ing. - 1!>t
Let us have some air, they say, and in
comes the treacherous breeze-for even
hot air is pleasant while it isgently blow
cooling the skin !; but the apartment is
made warmer instead of cooler, and as
soon as they move out of the draught they
find their room to be more uncomfortable
than before. 4.~
Let in cool air-keep out hot-that is
the only formula to insure the minimum
of discomfort. Sitting rooms may gener-
ally be kept cool during the whole day if
the door be only opened for the ingress
and egress, and the windows kept closed
and shielded from direct sunshine by
blind. If the atmosphere ola room be i'm
pure from any cause, s1et 1t be renewed:
hot air is less injurious than bad. air. If a
room be small in comparison with the
number ofpersons engaged in free venti-
lation becomes indispensable.
In a cooking apartment the temperature
will probably be higher than outside,
hence the free admission even of hot air
will be desirable. If persons do not OBJ
ject to sit in direct draught of air, win
dows and doors may be opened, q breeze
being more refreshing, even though sever
al degrees warmer than still air; but under
nearly all other circumstances rooms
should be kept closed as much as possible
until after sundown, or till the air outside
is cooler than that inside, Let in cool air;
keep out hot.

The Two Greatest Frenchmen.

But short time before the suicide
of. NJ. Provost ParadoI at Washington
last summer, that unfortunate man
was in conversation with Charles
Sumner. Their talk, passing from
topics of an official character, ranged
into free and animated discussion Of
literary men aud of politicians in
Franco.
"Well, said the American Senator,
s'is not N. Quiet the greatest intclli.
gcnce now in France?" The polite
diplomat evidently could not alto.
gethcr assent to the statement which
lurked in the question; but no con-
tented himself with qualifying it by
the modest reply-"There is NJ.
Theirs! !"
And reply was as conclusive as it
was courteous. At any time during
the thirty-fve years, it might have
been said Of Guizot that he would be
the greatest intelligence in France if
it wore not for Thiers; and that
Theirs would be the greatest intelli-
gcnce in France, if it were not for
GuiZot.
There is something fattering to hu-
man nature itself, III the persi< &C
with which these two persons b ve
kept their places in the eyes Of men.
and in the front rank of human af.
fairs now for fifty years. Half a cen
tury ago they became famous both as
writer's and. as makers Of history:
The associates and compecrs Of great
historical personoges, who were in
their graves before the present gcner-
alton were born, identified with revo.
lutions, reactions, and dynasty
changes, which seem as remote from
cur time as all other events which we
look back upon through the perspec.
tive Of history: their vitality at this
moment seems a marval, and their
emergency from the clouds of war in
France the one as political master OF
its affairs, and the other as its most
impressive politicel monitor-is a
spectacle in many particulars without
II precedent. "
1t is touching, also, to SEQ how age
and the sadness Of fate have brought
lifelong rivals and antagonists into q
species Of cooperation. Far half a
century each has grown strong by
seeking to wrestle with and to throw
the other, and ut times their mutual
animosity has been fcrocious and un.
relenting. To-day, however, the
most potent support which Thiers OBJ,
tains in the appalling difficulties which
beset his path comes from the voice
Of his ancient toe, speaking words o1
hope amid the general wreck Of the
nation, and Of forbearing trust in the
old statesman who is trying to save
French civilization from utter ruin.---
