BASHF ILLNESS.

Bashfulness is a charming and en-
gazing quality, but it Is apt to be an
occasionally uncomfortable one to
the possessor thereof. Witness the
case of an excellent and fastidious
young gentleman Of San Francisco,
who lately made formal call upon a
family of his acquaintance. Having
entertained the said family with unu-
sual brllliancy of conversation, and
quite fascinated it's your lady mem
bers, he prepared to depart. This is
always the trying moment for bash
ful man. This particular one made
his final bow and gracefully retired,
facing his friends, to what he fondly
imagined 'was the right door Of exit.
Alas 1t led to an empty china
closet, and he was inside and he
shut the door before hequite realized
his agonizing blunder. But even
that might have been borne were il
not that the family watch. dog had
secretly crept in there to doze.. The
intrusion hurt his feelings, and be
naturally and promptly resented it.
The soul-and the garments-of that
young man are bitterly rent Sc
much for bashfuIness.- Meoo Yorz

DECLINE OF THE GODS.

Jagannath, thinks the Pail Mall
Gazette, seems to have come to grief
at the late festival at Serampore. 1t
appears from the account given by
the Friend of India that when he
was carried forth under the umbrella
and hoisted up on to his principal
car, there was none of that roar of
enthusiasm with which he was won't
to be greeted IN former years. By 2
o'clock the long road, hot and white
with dust, was merely dotted with
visitors, and the police seemed to be
as numerous as the pilgrims. An
hour later the crowd was rather
more numerous but the priests
could not prevail on the people to
give Jagannath "shove off" al
though they frantical'y called upon
those near to rescue the God from
disgrace. The attention of the wo-
men in the crowd was far more direct
ed toward two English ladies, who
were watching the scene from the
verandah of the police post. The
same ill-luck befell rival car endow-
ed by Baboo, afterwards transport
ed for forgery. The few who could
be persuaded to tug at the old ropes
broke them. Sunset, however
brought some devout rustics from
the inferior, and these at last dragged
the original car without an accident
Year by year the attendance ha
been falling off, but on this occasion
the contrast was very striking TIL

"REASON IN DOGS.n

This IL the title of an article which
appeared in the New York Sun TO,
July IL, and as the gentleman refer
red to is an eminent lawyer of New
York, we determined to ascertain
the truthfulness of the report, 20 tina,
it should not rank with many OF the
stories for which nobody OF responsi-
bi'ity can vouch.. Accordingly, we
enclosed the paragraph to Mr., Bar
low. asking him to verify or deny
the facts. We have his reply, in
which he says: "The paragraph is
substantially true" It is as follows j:
The Hon. S. L. M. Barlow owned
a pair of thoroughbred Scotch deer
hounds. male and female. Their sim
envy limbs, deep chests, dispositions,
make them ornamental additions to
a gentleman's country seat, and as
sert their claim to lineal descent
from the, stag.hound that lives in
poetry as the companion ofSir Wal
ter Scott. Being dogs of good edu-
cation, as we'll as blue blood, they
seldom leave their masters residence,
and treat less favored quadrupeds
with lofty contempt. About a week
ago the male, who wags his tail to
the name Walter, followed the farm
cart to neighbours house. A very
large and ferocious mastif possessed
prior dog privileges there. Instead of
receiving his visitor with becoming
hospitality, he assaulted him savage
ly, and in few minutes injured him
20 badly that he was carried home in
the cart. The mastiff's teeth had In
fiicted a bad wound in Walters chest,
almost perforating it from side to
side. He refused to submit to hu-
man surgery, but tried remedy
taught him by instinct In the moist
earth on the border of a fish pond he
dug hole that just fitted his breast.
He chose a shady place for his hos
pital, and never left it, except for his
meals, until he was cured. During
the tedious hours of convalescence
his mate was constantly with him.
After five days he considered him
self we'll. Then the pair went from
the house, and going straight where
the mastiff lived, without warning
Dr. giving him any other living show
hey set upon him. The fight was
short, sharp, and decisive. Before
heir victims owner could render as

A new and useful phase of pulpit
oratory is its tendency to discuss
practically the practical affairs of
everyday life. From California
comes a report OF sermon ON Christi
an craftsmanship; from New Hamp-
shire one of sensible discourse on
common schools. The California
clergyman begged the citizen TO vote
inteIligentIy, and to forbid the
professional politician to do his
thinking for him; and furthermore; to
vote for candidates known to be
honest and capable. All Of which
we submit, does him honor, and
does not impair the sacredness Of the
pulpit, from which man should not
only be taught the highest duty but
also his duty to the State. The
New England preacher deprecated
the everlasting Of the vital powers
which the methods of our schools
demands from delicate youn & chill
dren, the heedlessness on the part
Of parents and teachers which lets
the young mind be strained and the
physique exhausted. Who shall
say that these preachers are not do
ny an excellent work. Nea0 Yor'
