Justice to Dogs.

When the late Admiral Freeman was
a midshipman serving on foreign sta
ton, brother midshipman and himself
had each favorite dog. The other
midshipman took some offence at our
hero's dog, and threatened to throw it
overheard. "If you do, yours shall fol-
low" was the reply. Both dogs We're
instantly thrown over in quick success
sion. Enraged at the loss of his dog,
the other midshipman came up to Free
man and demanded satisfaction, chal-
lenging him to fight. g" Be calm, sir"
said Freeman, coolly. You have act
ed most brutally towrrds my dog, and
l have retaliated on yours, as 1 promised
Iwould do. You are entitled to no sat-
isfaction from me, but your unoffending
dog is. therefore propose to save the
life of your dog, if you will do so by
mine" The proposal was acceeded to-
Young Freeman instantly leaped over
board, swan to his opponents dog, Sc
cured him, and reached the vessel, where
he was hauled up in triumph. His com.
rade followed his example, and was
equally successful. They were botl
punished by being sent to the mast
head. When far advanced in life the
admiral declared that he always re
fiected with great satisfaction on having
saved the lives Of those dogs.

True Words.

The following expresses Our senti-
ments to dot. 1t is one of the Won
ders of the world that it is so, and
greater one that it is women who take
the lead. Good, refined, worthy women
will fawn on the seducer and cast the
seduced into outer darkness
This is a curious world. A few months
ago one B. +. Simmons eloped from st.
Paul with married lady, both leaving
families behind them. Both were in
"good society," Both were execrated.
The other day both returned. The wo-
man was met with reproaches and
epithets. Old friends cut her on the
streets. A divorce was demanded by
her aggrieved husband. She was voted
an outcast.
How about Simmons Simmons was
man, you see, and that makes a differ
ence, you know. His wife and weeping
friends welcomed him back with EN-
braces--the poor misled prodigal. His
cronies laughed with him and iostled
him gaily on his gallantry. That
night he drove around town with his
family bohind dappled grays, bowing
and smiling patronizingly. Mrs. -,
llO liIulttl dDOul titi WV Oth'i
reprobate-is literally spurned and
driven from her home by all who knew
her, while her paramour and equal Grim
inal has not even for moment lost his
business footing, and is just as much tho
favorite in society as ever for he is a
man, you know.
Why is it thus 1t is wrong. One
of three things ought to come to pass
Either woman's lapse from virtue
ought to be regarded with more charity
or else the man who drags her down
ought to be held to an equal punish.
ment, or else polygamy ought to be es-
tablished at once, and Brigham Young
elected president. 1t is simply shame.
full that women should be punished ter
times as severely as men for the same
sin

As Mattio finished her recital, the four
miners glanced at each other, and then
at me. Without saying word, we went
out together accompanied by my. dog:
Next morning Ned Vance was found
hanging by the neck from the limb OF a
tire. Whether he committed suicide, or
met just retribution at the hands OF
some members of the community he had
outraged, remained a mystery, which
tho authorities did not attempt to un-
ravel.

TIE PRAYER-sEEKER.
By JOHN O. WHITTIER.

Along the aisle where prayer was made.
A woman, all in black arrayed
Close-veiled, between the kneeling host,
With gliding motion of ghost,
Passed to the desk and laid thereon
A scroll which bore these words nlonc--
Prcyfor me!
Back from tho place of worshipping
She glided like guilty thing:
The rustic Of her draperies, stirred
By hurrying feet, alone was heard
While, full of awe, the preacher read,
As out into the dark she sped:
Pray for me ~
Back to the night from whence she came,
To uninagined grief or shame
Across the threshold of that door
None knew the burden that she boro
Alone she left the written scroll,
The legend of troubled soul
Prey for me
Glide on, poor ghost Of woe or sin!
Thou leav'st common need within;
Each bears, like thee, some namoless weight,
Some misery inarticulate,
Some secret sin, some shrouded dread
Some household sorrow all unsaid
Pray for usl
Pass on The type of all thou art
Fad witness to tho common hearti
With face In vel, and seal on lip,
In mute and strange companionship,
Like thee we wander to and fro,
Dumbly imploying as we go;
Pray for ISL
All who shall pray, since he who pleads
Our want perchance hath greater needs?
Yet they who make their loss the gain
Of Others shall not ask in vain,
And heaven bends low to hear the prayer
Of love from lips of self despair:
Pray fer ns'
In vain remorse and fear and hate
Beat with bruised hands against fate,
Whose walls of iron only move,
And open to the touch ofloye.
He only feels his burdens fall,
Who, taught by suffering, pities all.
PrGyJor us!
lie praycth best who leaves unguessed
The mysteries Of another's breast.
Why checks grow pale, why eyes o'erfow,
Or heads or white, thou needst not know.
Enough to note by many sign,
That every heart hath needs like thine.

A DISABLING DIsEAsE.-No disease

dyspepsia. When the stomach is foul,
the brain is always muddy and confused,
and as the cares and anxieties of life are
a sufficient burden for the organ of
thought to bear, without being torment
ed by the miseries born of indigestion,
it is highly desirable for the brains sake,
ns well as for the sake of every other
portion Of the system, that the disor-
dered stomach should be restored with
the utmost despatch to healthy, vigor-
ous condition. This object can always
be accomplished by o course of Hostel

best of vegetable specifics, which evacu-
ates the morbid humors through the
bowels, rouses and tones the torpid
