LAST WORDS OF COMMODORE MAuRY

AS tho supreme hour drew near he
and asked, in the language Of the rul-
ing passion, edo seem to drag my
anchors ?'' The answer, "They are
sure and steadfast," gave him crafty
ing assurance. When he had been
silent for some time, and supposed to
be speechiess, Colonel Maury approach
ed him and enquired his condition.
He responed with marked distinction
aud emphasis, stAll is well.'' Soon he
saw the signal and sci sail for the eternal
shores.
Commenting on this extract from the
Lexington Gazette, the Baltimore Epis-
copal Methodist says:
No dying utterance OF the great has
ever impressed us more than the last
words Of that scientific seaman, who
disclosed the mysteries OF the deep as
Newton did those OF of the sky-"Do /
seem to drag my anchors" n question,
the full significance Of which all who
have been in a ship at her moorings,
when a heavy gale threatened to render
all her securities unavailing; and all
who can appreciate the deeper solicit
tude of a soul in fear of being swept
from its last refuge, can fully appreci-
ute. The profound sentiment of Chris
tain faith found expression in the iangu-
ago ola loved vocation, and in this
case vocation which brings men in
daily contact with that which, more
than any other of the material works
OF God, is symbollical of eternity
Com. Maury had been disabled for
many years from active service, but
his scientific Iabors have rendered
moro practical benefit to maritime life
and commerce than all the voyages OF
all the merchantmen and all the cruisers
OF ships of war in modern generations.
Vet the image which filed his dying
eye was not drawn from his researches
into the laws of matter, nor from the
gigantic struggles Of the Confederate
war, nor from the grand mountains
amidst whice he ended his days, but
from tho ship whose "peopletieck" he
had paced when youth, holding by
her anchors in some storm which
threatened her with shipwreck oven
when under the shadow OF the shore
Happy the mariner who, while the
gale howls around him, feels that tht
hardest pull Of tho vessel will not lift his
anchor from the ground, and happic,
still the Christian, who, like Maury
Is firm and steadfast in his dying h ar

TWO DOG TALES.

me Troy Times says: Here is Il true
dog story: A family down town having
4 false crate in one of the rooms of the
house, placed some red paper behind it
to give it the effect Of fire. One Of the
coidest days this winter, the dog be-
longing to the household came in from
out Of doors, and seeing the paper in
the CRATE, deliberately walked up to it,
anG laid down before it, curled up in
the best way to receive the glowing
heat as 1t came from the fire. He re-
manned motionIess for Il few minutes ;
feeling no warmth, he raised his head
ana looked over his shoulder ut the
crate; still feeling no heat, he arose and
carefully applied his nose to the CRATE
and smelt it. It was cold rs ice.
With look of the most supreme dis
gust, his tail curled down between his
legs, every hair on his body saying
"l'm sold," the dog trotted out of the
room, not even deigning to cast look
at the party in the room who had
watched his actions and laughed SO
heartily at his misfortunes. That dog
had reason as we'll rs instinct.
Hero is another proof that dogs have
tho power Of reasoning. A sapucious
canineat Rumney, N. II. :, lately pursued
n Woodchuck, which continually foiled
him by running through drain.
When he had played that trick two or
three times the dog gave him rest in
the drain, and trotted over to u neigh
boris and brought another dog, "a ire
Huent sharer in his youthful sports,
Stationing his companion at one end
of the drain, he entered the other and
stirred up Mr.. Woodchuck, who started
again for daylight, only to be grabbed
by the faithful sentinel. If that isn't
reason, what is it?
