often wrapped in the phraseology Of real

who in other matters can justly apprecI-

gruities of belief belong to every age;
but the counterfeit never gets the lasting
stamp of the genuine coin. The follow

ter considerable experience in life,
find myself generally able to indicate
the persons most liable to be thus delud-

greater number in any time have been
of imported origin; and it may further
be said that the most recent are the most

MISCELLANY.
FAITHFUL DOGS.
They Care for Lost Child, and
Warm and Feed Him.

( From the sedalia Democrat, April A.
Yesterday morning we gave an ac-
count of child wandering away from
home on Thursday last, accompanied by
two dogs. The whole neighborhood had
turned out and searched night and day
without success, at the time we wrote
the account.
The following is a copy Of the hand
/ bills struck of and circulated:
LOST BoYl-To THE PUBLIC.
Yesterday afternoon, William Norm
andy. my son, left my residence, five
miles from Lexington, on the Salt Pond
road, and was last seen on the road TO
town. He is five years of age, wore a
dark woollen coat, dark jeans pants,
patched on the knees, and was followed
BY two dogs; one black. and the other
of a dark yellowish color. .
ANY information regarding his where
abouts will be thankfully received, and
will relieve the anxiety of mother and
father.
WILLIAM A. SMITH.
LExINeToN, Mo, April 2, 1875.
From Mr.. NJ. Carroll, the popular
baggage master Of the Lexington passen-
ger train, we learn the following parli-
culars of the discovery of the child
yesterday morning, which certainly
shows the wonderful sagacity and faith
fulness of the dogs which accompanied
him.
As in onr account yesterday, the last
seen of the child was in a fence corner
with his dogs. From there it seems he
wandered into the woods belonging to
Judge Woods, eight miles from his
home. Here, probably, night overlook
the little wanderer, and darkness closed
in upoE him, cold, tired and hungry,
with none TO aid him bnt his faithful
fourfooted companions. The nights at
this time Of the year are too severe for a
robust man to be exposed, and certainly
tender child, almost an infant, would
surely succumb 10 the biting tempera-
ture.
Bnt there is a watchfui Providence
above and his interposition Of this case
seems miraculous. The faithful dogs,
with an instinct that seems equal 10 hu-
man intelligence, went 10 work and
scratched together a bed of leaves. Into
this the boy crept, and then the intellig
ent animals laid down, one on each side
Of him, and kept him warm through the
night with the heat.of their bodies.
Morning broke with the boy safe, his
shaggy guardians remaining at their
post. Though rested and refreshed, he
was almost famished with hunger.
Again the wonderful instinct of the
faithful dogs was equal to the emergency.
They sat out foraging, chased and killed
rabbit, and brought it to their young
charge, laying it at his feet. The boy
eagerly ate of the raw meat, and when
discovered was busily engaged in ap-
peasing his hunger.
When the party who discovered him
endeavored to approach the child the
dogs became exceedingly ferocious, and
would not let one of them approach
him. The boys father and dogs master
had to be sent for before they could get
the child from his noble protectors.
The JOY of the parents can be easily
imagined, and we will guarantee to say
that all the wealth of Lafayette county
would not purchase one Of these dogs.

THR GOLD Else TRICK.
How a Neeromancer Came % GrIef.

Max Adeler relates the following.
Several Of the magicians who perform
in public do what they call ethe gold
fish trick" The jugglers stands upon
the stage, throws handkerchief over
his extended arm, and produces in sue.
cession three or four shallow glass dishes
filed to the brim with water, in which
live gold fish are swimming. or course
the dishes are concealed somehow upon
the person Of the performer.
Peter Lamb, the young fellow who
lives near me, discovered how the trick
was done, and he offered to do it, the
other night, at Magruder's party, for
the entertainment Of the company. So
the folks all gathered in one end Of the
parlor, and in a few moments Lamb en-
tered the door at the other end. He
said:
Ladies and gentlemen, you will per-
ceive that have nothing about me ex-
cept my ordinary clothing, and yet
shall produce presently two dishes filled
with water and living fish. Please
watch me narrowly"
Then Peter flung the handkerchief
over his hand and arm, and we could see
that he was working away vigorously at
something beneath it. lie continued
for some moments and still the gold fish
did not appear Then he began to grow
very red in the face, and we saw that
something was the matter. Then the
perspiration began to stand on Peters
forehead, and Mrs. Magruder asked him
if he was we'll. Then the company
laughed, and the magician grew redder.
But he kept on fumbling beneath that
handkerchief, and apparently trying to
reach around under his coat-tails. Then
we heard something snap, and the next
moment quart of water ran down the
wizards left leg and spread out over
the carpet By this time he looked as
If the grave would be welcome refuge.
But still he continued to feel around
under the handkerchief Al Last anoth-
er snap was heard, and another quart Of
water plunged down his right leg and
formed pool abont his shoe. Then the
necromancer hurriedly said that the ex-
pertinent had failed somehow, and he
darted into the dining room. ] follow
ed him, and found him sitting on the
sofa, trying to remove his pantaoons.
He exclaimed:
30 gracious! Come here, quick, AMI

drawers nippin' around, and raspin' the
skin with their fms enough to set a man

shoe off, and grab that fah there at my

Then we undressed him and picked
the fish out of his cloths, and diAcov-
cred that he had two dishes full Of water
and covered with india rubber tops
strapped inside his trowsers behind. IN
his struggle to get at them he had torn
the cover to rags. We fixed him mp
pair Of Magruder's trowsers, which we're
six inches too short for him, and then
he climbed over the back fence and went
home. He says, now, that the next
time he gives exhibitions in public he
