There are some people, yes, many people, al
ways looking ont for sights. They cannot
carry on the daily intercourse of the family
without some offence is designed. They are as
touchy as hair-triggers. If they meet an ac-
qualntance in the street who happens to be-
pre.occupied with business, they attribute his
abstraction in some mode personal to them
selves, and take umbrage accordingly. They
lay on others the fact of their irritabiiity.
NJ o. Indigestion makes them see impertinence
n IN every one they come in contact with. In
nocent persons who never dreamed Of giving
offence are astonished to find some unfortunate
WORD or momentary taciturnity mistaken for
an lnsnlt To say the least, the habit is upfor
tunate. 1t is far wiser to take the more chart
table view of cur fellow beings, and not sup
pose slight is intended unless the neglect ia
open and direct. After all, too, life takes it's
hues in great degree from the color of our
mind If we are frank and generous, the
world treats us kindly. If, on the contrary,
we are suspicious, men learn to be cold and
cautious to us. Let person get the reputa-
tlon of being touchy, and everybody is under
more or less constraint, and in this way the
chances of an imaginary offence are vastly in
creased

Memoir of q Dog.

On Saturday, Napoleon, John Wilson

vanced age of twenty.three years. Dogs
die daily that deserve no particular men,
tion. bui Napoleon merits as fair share o,
honorable reference as any dog that ever
lived or died in this city. One fact alone
will pr9ve.it. lie accomplished in bis lfe-
time more than thousands ol.men Go 10

ing OF the risk Of losing his own life. Ma
poeon knew all about the circus, and was
never better pleased than when witnessing
or participating in the sports OF the saw.

doghood, be became subject to fits, result
ing from precipitation of blood to his over
wrought brain. He became his own physic.
Ian, and instead of resortiDg, as men SINH
larly afflicted sometimes do, 10 stimulating
drinks, which aggravate thei, malady, be
tried cold water.
Whenever be felt an attack coming on,
Napoleon would start for bucket of wa ter.
or trough, plunge bis head into the water,
and hold it there as long as be could bold
bis breath. This generally had the effect
which he desired. AS age advanced be be.
came deaf and blind, and his limbs were
stiff and almos. useless. The last attack
killed him. Napoleon was 'traveled'
dog. He came to this city from New Or
leans when but a youth, aud soon engaged
with Wilson's circus. With that he visited
nearly every county and town in tho State
and on the coast. He visited Australia and
China, and became fayorits with mer
wherever he went, for be was honest and
true. Yesterday Napoleon was buried on Q
hill at the corner of Powell and Sacramento
streets, in thopreseuce of a very large com.
pany of men who had known and respected
him. A gentleman read q sketch of bis life

Of great Importance, is fast going to decay.
Fifteen years ago New Bedford alone sen,
