Don't kick and ecold him because
he chances to look in at the door with
his great brown eyes. possibly steps
upon your polished floor with his
four-rowed feet. To be sure he is
only dog, and the barn may perhaps
be the proper place for him. But he
is just as sensitive to kind or rough
treatment as you are yourself, though
you may have the blue blood OF
royalty in your veins.
Money may buy luxuries and the
hattery of So called friends; but it will
not purchase the good will of dog.
You may desire the sympathy of your
fellow mortals in times OF sorrow and
affection, yet in nine cases out OF ten
they will laugh At your calanitiee
and mock whom your fear c0msth.
They will partake of your hospitality,
accept your favors, that may be be-
slowed with liberal hand-wear the
badge of your influence pinned upon
their sleeves, worm from you your
secrets under cover Of the most conf
Dental friendship-and at the same
time take from you that which is of
more value than riches, your good
name, by the vilest ISLANDERS; betray
the trust you repose in them to your
worst enemies, which, if you are am
bilious of distinction, you can not be
without; and, if by any possible means
they can sneak into your post of honor
even by dethroning you, ke assured
they will strain no point of finely spun
sentiment by not accepting the stu
alton. Not so with the dog, VINO eats
from your hands even the crumbs that
fall from the table. Does he see grief
upon your countenance, his gentle
caress and sad eyes at once bespeak
his sympathy. 1t matters not whether
prosperity or adversely attend you, he
is still your faithful friend. Tell to
him your most engrossing secret and
he will never divulge by word or look.
He never makes impertinent inquiries
about your business or gives uncalled
for advice. He is at once in all your
travels, friend, protector and servant,
with affections equally as strong as his
superiors.-[ Rural New Yorker.
