Moodx,s Redeemed FIx.

This narrative appears in the New

Mr.. Moody was once stopping over
night at country inn. The wife of the
inn keeper got him up nice supper and
he sat down to it. Pretty soon she OBJ
served him looking aroundas il in search
of something, and asked him if there
was anything he wanted, Well" said
Mr.. Moody, II am very thirsty, and if
it's not too much trouble, | would like a
drink of water" The water was pres
eutly set before him in a stone jug, but,
as Mr.. Moody was about to drink, he
discovered a fly in the jug. He set
down the jug quietly, for he did not like
to give the good woman any further trou.
BILE, and proceeded to eat his supper
without the drink. But she noticed that
he didn't drink, and asked: Mr.. Moody,
is there anything the matter with the wa
teri" Mr.. Moody, being thus forced to
answer, said. why, madam, there is a
fly in the jug" al" said she, "if little
Edith were here she would take the poor
thing out and not let it drown" "And
l shall do just what little Edith would
do, responded Mr.. Moody. Mr.. Moody
then reached out, and, in his own words,
lifted that fly out of the Watering with a
pickle-fork. He had stopped struggling
and was lying quietly, with his wings
stretched out, almost dead but put the
fork under him and lifted him up care
fully, and he lived. If be could have

cupy in quiet way during the winter.
He rushed down to the Herald Office, and
declined to 60, unless ne could be per-
mitted to take his wife with him. This
point was conceded, and the rest OF the
day was spent in closing up his domes-
tic affairs, furniture, house rent, SER
wants butchers and grocer's bills, "P.

sailed. He had hoped to visit Paris, but
his orders would not allow it. By this

going no one but the managing editor Of
the Herald knows.

A Famous Trio.

ION one occasion" writes Mrs. Mos
cheles, we had the happiness Of enter
tanning the famous Sontag at a large
party ct our house. She was enchanting,
as usual. Sir Walter Scott. who hap
pened to be in London, was present. He
was delighted at meeting Sontag, whose
introduction to Sir Walter, on the eve of
her appearance in the Donna del Lago,
was singularly well.timed. Lockhart it
is true, tells us in his biography that Sir
Walter felt annoyed at being besieged
by crowd Of hatterers and strangers
who made pilgrimage to Abbotsiord
and overwhelmed him with compliments,
their knowledge OF his works being based
possibly on single attendance at the
Donna del Lago at the Italian opera
but in the presence of Sontag the great
man was all ears, and eyes, too | think.
When she questioned him about her cos
tune as the Lady of the Lake, he de-
scribed to her with the utmost minuteness
every fold of the plaid, and was greatly
pleased when | produced a genuine satin
clan plaid, the present of Lady Sinclair,
while in Edinburgh, the loan of which
was delighted to promise to Sontag. He
showed her the particular way the brooch
should be fastened at the shoulder, and
would not allow any alteration. Henri
eta had two worshipers that evening, the
second being Clement, who seemed as
much fascinated as Scott. He got up
from his chair and said, Tonight |
should like to play Also The PROPOSE
ton was received with acclamation. I"
" He extemporized with all the freshness
of youth, writes Moscheles, "and we
listened with intense delight, for Glenn.
enti very rarely played before company.
You should have seen the ecstasy Of the
two old men, Scott and Clement; they
shook each other by the hand, took it in
turns to firt with Sontag without SEEM
ing jealous of one another; it was a
pretty duet Of joint admiration; of course
the poet, musician, and songstress were
the observed of all observers.

Animal Amnities.

A correspondent writes to Nature Of a
strange case of what he considers her
editary affection among brutes, which
has ceme under his notice. he says:
II have reared a fine mastiff. He is now
hree.and-a-half years old. While he
was puppy he and kitten evinced
strong liking for each other. The kitten,
when able to leave her mother, fixed her
residence in the dogs kennel, and never
seemed happy when away from her large
friend She ate breakfast out Of the dog s
bowl, and slept in his kennel with his
paws around her She used to catch
young mice and young rats, and carry
them to him, and seemed pleased when
he accepted friendships offering. One
morning observed the cat preparing a
bed with straw in the corner OF the
keunel-an ordinary wooden one, four
feet by two and half feet. AS she was
going to have kittens thought she in.
tended making his kennel her nursery
and Cato (the dog her head nurse. She
brought forth FIVE kittens, and there lay
Tor some time. The mother frequently
went away for hours leaving the dog to
look after her family. / many times
stopped down to look at them. and Cato
stood by my side very proud Of his charge.
The poor cat came to an untimely end
eighteen months ago, but the only sur.
viving kitten of the FIVE named above is
as fond of the dog as her mother wes.
She brings young rats and rabbits aud
lays them before Cato, and looks beseech.
ingly till he takes them. She constantly
plays with him, and gets on her hind legs
to look fondly in his face, while he puts
his paw around her as he used to do her
mother She must have inherited this
affection from her mother, as she was too
young to have initiated her mother s
actions at the time of her death.
