The last scene VI seIiy's life Was very
remarkable, AZ showing the complete
understanding and sympathy which can
exist between man and The lower animals.
She entertained the profoundest affection
for the old gardener, affection which was
perfectly reciprOcaied.
{" Her greatest trials were when Georges
duties called him away from her. At
such times she used % station herself at
the gate, eagerly listening for the com

was 10 be had was obtained, and her
faithful George watched her by night
and by day. With all mothers forget
fulness OF self she fulfilled her maternal
duties until the last day, when she evt

could do nothing for them. She feebly
rose from her couch, and gave her chill
dren into Georges charge, with q look

well when his master IL suffering pain or

masters hand or laid lovingly ON his
knee Is Il sign Of sympathy which il
worth having, though II only exists ia
the heart Of u dog. From that moment
bond has been established between the
soul OF tie man and that OF the dog, and
cannot believe that the bond can ever

into disgrace and was punished. When.
ever this happened. "Flo" was sure to
find out the sorrowing child, and, by
licking It's face and Offering many ca
resses, would show her sympathy. One
Of the children was peculiarly sensitive,
and, IN IL conscious that she specially
needed sympathy, Flo would be more
demonstratiye toward her than toward
the others.
That friendship, which IL another
branch Of love, exists among animals Is
very .well known fact, exhibiting itself
most frequently among domesticated
animals. Horses, for example, which
have been accustomed To draw the same
carriage are usually sure to be great
friends, and IL one be exchanged the
other IL quite wretched for want of his
companion, and seems unable TO put any
spirit into his work.
