QuaIn, Essay ON Dogs.

The following essay on dogs was written
10y a small New England boy last Summer:
"As this is the tale OF dog, it may be
inferred that every dog has tale, aud that
every tale has dog | have never seen
dogs tale run over two feet, but the tale OF
a dog can be any length, and two feet al
ways run under the tale As every dog
has its tale, and every tale its dog, so has
every tale its wag aad every wag his tale
4 dog can wag his tale one day out OF
two, but wag can tell his tale eight days
out OF II week. making total difference
between the wag OF the tail, and the ta,e Of
wag, OF two days, seven wags and a tail
Mr. Shakespeare (ate OF Englaud), says
that every dog has his day, but it can also
lie said that every day has its dog. - that
we have day dogs aud dog days-dog day-
are twenty-four hours long without the
tail, but day dogs and watch dogs run to
any length il they are not chained
A watch dog on land is the same rs Il
dog watch on ship-board, but they are en-
iirely different from logging a mans watch
or watching a mans dog have often
seen star fish, but never heard of star
dog, although astronomers do say there is
a dog star, and that 10y falling down over a
dog you can see stars, but lis Dc uble
vision does not affect the measurement oI
dog; he contains just eight feet, two ton
and two hind. There are many ways il
which this dogs tale could be drawn Cut
tut good, healthy dogs tail should 10
be over six inches long"

DRINKING IMPURE WArER-Set a pitcher
OF iced water in a room nha Dited and in a
few hours it will have absorbed nearly all
the perspired gases Of the room, the air of
which will have become purer, but tie wa
ter utterly filthy. This depends on the
fact that water has the faculty Of conieus
ing aud thereby absorbing nearly all the
gases, whicli it does without increasing its
own bulk. The colder the water is .he
greater It's capacity to contain these Eases
At ordinary temperature, pint OF water
viii contain pint of carbonic acid gas
and seq eral piuts OF ammonia. This ca
pacity Is nearly doubled 10y reducing The
temperature TO that Of ice Hence water
kept in the room avn is always unfit for
use, and should be olteu removed, whether
1t has become warm or not. And for the
same reason the water in pump should
all be pumped out in the morning before
any Is used That which has stood in a
pitcher over night is not iit Tor coffee water
in the morning Impure water j. more
injurious to health than impure air. and
every person SHOULD provide the means of
obtaining fresh pure water Tor all domestic
purposes

I've pondered over every sound

I've pondercd over every sound
Whose echoes thrill the soul,
I've searched those melodies profound
Whose numbers round me ROLL
But sought in vain the magic sPeli.
Which bids each care depart
When rippics from fair wOmAn's lips
The joy which alls her heart.
There's music in the summer breeso
And the glad waters flow,
I hear amidst the forest leaves
An anthem soft and low;
But when from women's ruby lips
Is borne upon the air
Her overflow Of happiness
She reigns unrivaled there.
Tho oceans Wild, maejestic tone
Resounds from cline to cline,
The noble organ fills the soul
With harmony sublime;
But these must ever yield the palm
When woman's heart sets free
From lovo-lit eyes and teeth Of pearl
A flood of eestacy.
That laugh can gild with joy the clouds
OF sorrow, toll and pain;
Can cause the deser; Of the heart
To blossom DER again;
Can melt the letters of the world
Its coldness and its pride;
-
And cast her frown aside.
That ringing laugh the echoes wake
Der earth, and sea, and air;
1t links the mingled songs of time
with angel voices fair;
Call this no more "valc Of tenrs,"
While gushes, full and free,
From woman's lips, and eyes and soul
That heaven born melody.

The Baton Rouge Road.

We copy the sub!oined from the Shsevs-
port Southeastern:
We had the pleasure of a cali yesterday
from Captain Walker. IN charge OF the en-
gneer surveying corps Of the New Orleans,
Baton Rouge and Vicksburg Railroad Com
pany. He informed US that to the best OF
his knowledge it was the design OF the
company to put the road through a. rap
idly as possible. A line of survey has been
started by this corps from the intersection
of the Southern avenue OF the Texas road;
running south in the direction of Wallace
lake, and another will be started IRON near
Stoner's nursery, running .ouths before 40
eating.
The design OF the company is evidently
to secure the donation by our city OF hall a
million dollars in bonds, made nearly two
years ago in favor OF this road. under GER
tain conditions. To the best Of our knoWl-
edge the company had three years by the
terms of the agreement within which to
commence operations. and then go much 10
the graded mile was TO be paid. The grad
ing must commence from Shreveport out.
The company. by the statements of It's Off
GERS at that time was to commence opera
tions right away, but as nothing active has
been heard of them until now the matter
had almost passed out of the recollection of
our citizens. The present surveying party
is reminder of the obi igatiOns which our
city has assumed If the road Is built I'M
mediately it will be cheap at half E million,
but we trust that there will be no hasty
disbursement Of the appropriation we refer
to until the most specific compliance bY the
company with their agreement has been
made

steam Postal Compensation.

We copy this from Washington special
to the Louisville Courier Jo1ossa':
The Postmaster General has received
notification from leading railroads north OF
this ciuy to the effect that after the frst of
April they will withdraw the postal cars
from their lines unless the Postmaster Gen
eral shall give them certain increase OF
compensation. The combination embraces
all the New England railroads and all
those of Pennsylvania and New York. ex-
cept the Erie railroad. which is nOt in the
arrangement. The Eotherl Northern rail
roads have net joined in the demand. The
railroad combination claim that they can
make more money by an ordinary freight
car carrying the lowest grade OF freight, IN
/ lieu of the postal ears at the present scSIe
of compensation. The rate of cOmpensa-
ton allowed has been recently doubled,
and there is no doubt that the Postmaster
General will use all his legal power to give
the roads fair compensation. There is
naturally much excitement and tIepidatlon
ia the Pestoffice Department growing ou.
OF this crisis. II the railroads refuse 10
run che postal cars tho embarrassment and
delays 20 the postal service will be of the
most serious character, especially 20 the
