We bought new dog this spr'nei but
the speculation was not thoroughly sue

pat him ON the head, and then he sudden

three or four very earnest snaps at our
hand and leg. We were afraid somebody
would steal him, 80 we enticed him that
evening into the kitchen with bone,and

door and howled all night, and breakfast
was late in the morning because he
would't let the hired girl come into the
kitchen. when We got him into the yard /,
we found that he had upset the bread that
was rising, and had knocked eight plates
off Of the dresser, during his nocturnal
skirmishes. The neat evening, we felt as
if we would prefer that somebody DOiild
steal him, and we locked him out. He
amused himself that night scratching at
the door to get in, and bowling. He can
howl more ellectually than any other dog
we ever met. You would have thought
we had menagerie In the yard

THE CAREER OF sRETE HARTE.
A Brief Sketch Of the California Poets
Literary History.

In 1864 be was appointed Secretary Of
the United States Branch Mint In san
Francisco, position which, during the
six years he held it, gave him -tlme and
opportunity for more careful work tnan
any which he had heretofore accom-
plished. During tins time some OF the
most famous of his poems aud sketches
were written. "John Burns Of Gettys-
hurp.'' "The Pliocene Skull" 1.-The
Society upon the stanislow," "How are
Won, Sanitary 2" and other unique gems
of verse were written about this time and
frat appeared (for the most part) anony-
mously in the San Francisco newspapers.
In July. 1868, the publication Of TIE
/ Oyerlafld Monthly was begun, with Bret
Harte as its organizer and editor The
success of the magazine was immediate
and decided. We cannot tell how much
of It's renown was owing TO the series OF
remarkable stories which Immediately
began to aow from the pen Of its accom-
plished editor, nor how much 10 the rare
talent which he seems 10 have had IN
awaking the dormant energies OF those
who constituted his loyal stah OF con-
trlbutors.
Tbs Operlaid became at once a unique
plouant and highly desired element in
the current literature of the Republic
and il found multitude of readers OF
both sides of the Atlantic. In it's pages
August, 1868, appeared "The Luck o
, Roaring Camp, a story which, whateve
NAV be the merits of those which hav
succeeded it, gave IIarle the first Of hi
great fame MS a prOse-writer. But II wa

the stimulated appetite of the impatien

Down IN THE MEADOW.
EBEs Z RExFoRD.

We strolled down the meadow one morning
And gathered some blossoms that grew by
the way,
And heard in the lowlahds the brown bsr-
tfidge drummer
Beat up his brown soldiers to drill for the
day.
The robins were gay, and the blaekbirds
And bluebirds were carolling softly yet
clear;
And far away up in the limbs Of cherry,
The sound Of a mother-birds talk we
could hear
The air was astir with a jubilant chorus,
For all things seemed glad In that mid
There was sunshine behind us, and sunshine
And sSashihe on wheat fields and rank
rows Of corn.
We stopped by the stile where the fragrant
sweet clover
Held up 10 Il morning Its clusters OF red
For tine kiss OF the sun as girl TO her
Lifis w her pink cheek with her wishes
unaAtd.
We stood hand in hand and looked out on
That slistSseG aht III the glow of the
morn,
And noticed the shifting and tremulous
shadow
The bliihe breezes made IN the rows OF
the corn.
"Did you hear what the wind said9 "
asked OF the maiden
Who stood by my side with her hand in
She answered, "Ah, no for tie breezes are
laden
with too many whispers to hear one
alone
IT heard, love- ! answered; "they said
See those lovers
They walk through the meadow Will
hearts full of bliss
Their secret the wind-nymph most quickly
discovers
'Tis told in look. in II word in kiss. >
Size blushed and saw all the roses grow
paler
with envy and longing. She lifted he
| eyes
with Il shy, feigned expression that coul'
not avail hei o..
/ knew that bhe felt neither fear no
surprise.
Then kissed her, and 10 all the winds fel
to singing
Some merry, glad song that was almost
psalm,
And down deep in my heart was melod
ringing
That chimed with all nature in infnit
calm.
