REMEMBER, on one occasion, when
Allen was about TO leave "thc manse," he
put his dogs, Tor my amusement, through
some Of their drill, az he called IL. They
were all sleeping around the kitchen fire,
the pups freed from the girdle, wander
ing at liberty, when Allen said, "Go out,
one of you, my children, and lc. me know
II the day Is fair or wet" A dog instant
iy arose, while the rest kept their places,
and with erect tail, went out Return
ing, IL placed itself by Allan's side, SO
that he might, by passing his hand along Its
back, discover whether II was wet or dry.
"Go," he again said, "and tell the foolish
child lone OF the pups who Is frolicking
outside the house 10 come in" Another
dog arose, departed, and returned, wag-
ging his tail. and looking up TO Aliens
face. "Ohl he won't come, won't he?
Then go and bring him In, and, II neces-
sary, by force" The dog again departed,
but this time carried the yelping pup In
his. mouth, and laid IL at Aliens feet.
"Now, my dear children, let ms BECOME"
said Allen, rising as II TO proceed on his
Journey. But at this moment two
terriers began TO ight-thongh II seemed
a.mimic battle--while an old, sagacious-
looking coolie never moved from his
comfortable place beside the fire. Toun.
derstand this scene, though, you must
know that Alien had taken offense mt the
excellent Sheriff of the district, because
Of his having refused him some RESPONSE.
BILE situation on his property, and TO
ayenge himself, had trained his dogs to
act the drama which was now In prog.
ress. Addressing the apparently sleeping
dog, whom he called "the Sheriff." he
said There you lie, you lazy dog! en-
loving yourself when the laws are break.
Ing by unseemly dispute and fights. But
what care you, II you get your meat and
drink Shame upon you, Sheriff. II
seems must teach you your duy. Get
up this moment, sir--or I'll bring this
staff down upon your head--and make
these wicked dogs keep the peace" In
an instant "the Sheriff rose, and separa-
ted the combatants. Ii was thus that,
when any one offended Allen past all pos.
sibiiity OF forgiveness, he Immediately
trained one of the dogs to illustrate his
character, and taught II lessons by which
In every house he could turn his supposed
enemy into ridicule.--Good Words.

Intelligence Of Hogs.

Hoes often show great ntelligence and
aptitude To learn. A forester had Chi
nese pig which followed him like a dog,
came at call and ran up and down stairs
il learned To bow and perform several
tricks. II was very expert in hunting
mushrooms; and, when told to keep
watch, II would remain At It's pos. unfit
called away. When It's owner said ~ am
going to kill YOU" 1t would lie down on
is back and stretch out its legs.
When Louis XII. was sick, in order to
relieve the sadness of his mind, a noble
man thought OF teaching pig to dance
and bringing 1t before him It was not
long before pig could hop about very
well TO the sound Of bagpipe; they then
dressed IL with coat, pantaloons, necktie,
hat, sword etc.,-in short, all that the
court gentlemen of the time were accus,
toned To wear, and introduced II into the
presence of the king The animal bowed
danced and followed all orders in the
most artistic manner. until, getting tired
II became 80 awkward that the king roar
ed with laughter, TO the delight Of hi
oourticrs.
An English gentleman carefully trained
. hog for hunting. Slug, for 90 the hos
was called, was very fond of the chase
and was ever on the alert when the hunts
men were preparing to start but the dogs
could not endure its company, and thcil
owner was never able to make use OF both
