Where do they dwell : Meath grassy mounds, by

Lilies, and yellow-cups of fa.rest goid
Near gray grown walls, where in wild, tortuous

Old clustering ivy wr' athes in many a fold
Where IN red summer Moons
Fresh leaves are rustling,
Where meath large autumn moons
Young birds are nesting
Do they dwell there,
Where do they dwell? In sullen waters, lying
On beds Of purple sea flowers newly sprung;
Where the mad whirlpoo's wild and ceaseless
signing
Frets sloping banks, by dark green reeds Ger.
hung;
Where by the torrents swell.
Chrystal stones glitter,
While sounds the heavy bell
over the river
DO they dwell there
No for in these days they slumber to decay
And their remembrance with their lite departs;
They have home mot dark, nor tar away
Their proper home-wlthin our faithful hearts :.
There happy spirits wed,
Loving forever
There with us, the dead,
Parting-ah, never
There do they dwell

"A SaSaciOuls Dog.

Mr.. Snapp, blacksmith, living in town in
Pennsylvania, owns two dogs, one terrier, four
or five years old, the other half shepherd and
halt cur about 12 or Is years old, and conse.
quently very feeble.
In the winter between the hours for breakfast
and dinner, and dinner and supper, these two
dogs may always be seen perohed up just far
enough from Mr.. Snaps forge to escape the
sparks, but still near enough to keep warm. As
soon as the hour for dinner comes-which they
know even better than the apprentices in the
shop-they are off at full run, each aiming to
secure place behind the warm kitchen stove,
which is only large enough for one dog at a time.
Now, the terrier, being the most active, almost
always gains the coveted place, leaving the poor
old dog out in the cold and now comes the Gu.
rious part Of my story.
The old dog being thus left out in the cold
one bitter cold day, put himself in thinking
attitude, and set his wits to work to devise some
means by which he could get the terrier out of
the coveted place. All at once an idea seemed
to strike him. Taking advantage Of the good
swatch dog" qualities Of the terrier, he made q
feint toward the garden, barking furiously, a. II
some one was iutruding ut that point, when,
true to his nature, out popped the terrier, not to
make feint, but to make pell NELL rush TO
the extreme end of the garden, pushing the old
schemer just outside the kitchen door, who no
sooner saw the terrier enter tho garden than he
popped too, not in the garden, but behind the
warm kitchen stove, curled himself up, and
waited, with "a cunning twinkle Of his eye, for
his young friend, who no sooner made his mp.
pearance, and seeing the situation, than he tried
exactly tho same stratagem with the old dog,
with as little success as If he had tried to fly
Finding that to fail signal!y, he in turn pu! hi'
wits to work.
After disappearing III the garden for a few
minutes, he made his appearance RICH. in from
OF the kitchen door, with large bone in hi
mouth, and set to work on it rs II he was enjoy
ing it hugely.
Now, what dog could resist such temptin,
sight? At least the old fellow behind the stow
could not, it is plain for, sneaking oautiousl,
out OF his snug retreat he made sudden das
for the coveted bone, which he secured very east
