A Noble Dog.

On Friday, June %, four boys, the
Oldest being thirteen years, went out from
the foot Of East Seventh street in small
boat. After drifting about some time the
lads finally concluded to return, and when
nearing the dock were run into by tug
boat having in tow q couple of canal
boats. The skif was upset and all the
boys thrown into the water. With the
exception of one, William Held. they
chung to the bottom of their boat, and
were soon rescued. Held, however, was
thrown some distance from the craft at
the time of the collision, and, being un-
able to swim, was at the point of drown
ing when a large Newfoundland dog
sprang into the water from one of the
canal-boats and, catching young Held by
the coatcollar, raised his head above
water and started to swim ashore. The
current was sweeping down with great
force, and retarded the noble animal
bearing his human freight to such an ex,
tent that a sailor thought Unnecessary to-
SO to his assistance. He accordingly
sprang into the river, but before he
could render any material assistance found
himself well-nigh exhausted and quite as
much in need of succor as the boy. AT
this Juncture a rope was thrown the lad,
and, catching hold of it, he was safely
landed on the deck of one of the boats. The
dog now went to the assistance of the
sailor, who would undoubtedly have been
drowned but for the animals assistance.
At the time of the collision young Held
Vas struck on the head by a projectins
piece Of timber, and received fracture
of the skull. He was taken to his home,
No. 90 RlVlEgton street, where he died

Growing Old.

A HARD time this to many, when all the
sins they ever committed against their
bodies-and you may sin against your
body just as fatally as you sin against
your soul-rise up in judgment against
them-the season when we begin to feel
that we are really growing old, and that
everybody sees it but is too polite to say
so, or tries to gloss it under the unmean-
ing remark: "How young you look!"
indicating that we cannot reasonably be
expected to look young any longer. This
is as painful a phase as any our life goes
through-more painful, think, than alb
solute old age, which gradually becomes
as conceited over its many years as youth
is over its few ones.
Still, cannot believe but that it is pos
sible by extra care at the beginning of de-
cav to avoid its saddest infirmities, and
to make senility comparatively painless
thing-free from many Of those weakness
es and unpleasantnesses which cause so
many unselfish people to say honestly
they never wish to live to be old.
very simple and obvious truth that as the
machinery of digestion begins to wear out
it's advisable to give it a little less work
to do A meal from which young man
would rise up hungry is quite sufficient
for the needs of man of seventy, and bet
ter for him than more The healthiest,
most active and most happy minded of old
people [ have always found to be those
who were exceedingly moderate in their
food, eating less and less every year, in
stead of, according to the common fallacy,
more and more. And they who have
longest retained their hold on life and its
enioyments have been those who in all
their habits have gradually gone back to
the simplicity of childhood Indeed, 1t
seems as if nature, when we do not fool
ishly resist her or interfere with her, would
fain bring us back quietly to all the tastes,
pleasures and wants Of urearliest youth
its innocent interests, its entire but not
necessarily painful or humiliating depend
ence; would give us, in short, little ten
der rock in our second cradle before she
lays Us in the grave.
1t is well for the younger generation 10
see how contentedly we can loose cur hold
upon that world which is slowly sliding
from us. Though, unlike them, we can
no longer work all day and dance all
night; though we require every year more
care, more regularity of hours and meals
worn c1ooy, of all events more rest: can
by no means play tricks with ourselves Tor
any excuse either of amusement or labor;
are perhaps obliged to spend one-haf the
day in peaceful seclusion, or equally
peaceful endurance of pain, in order to
qualify ourselves for being cheerful w1th

those we love for the other half-sti1 life
is not yet burden to us, and we try to be
as little of a burden as possible to those
about us. We have had our day; we will
not grudge them theirs.
| cannot imagine an old age like this TO
be sad or undesirable thing. Infrmities
it NAV have, must have, but they need not
be overwhelming if the failing body has
been treated, and is still treated, with that
amount of respect which is its due. And
at worst, perhaps, bodily sutferings are not
harder to bear than the horrible mental
struggles of youth, with its selfish agony
Of passion and pain, or than the vicarious
sufferings of middle age, when he groaned
under the weight of other peoples cares,
mOurned over sorrows that we were utter
" powerless to cure, and looked. forward
with endless anxiety into an uncertain
future, not considering how soon it would
become the harmless past
Now all that is over The old never
grieve much; at least, not overmuch.
Why should they: 1t is strange to notice
how even after a loss by death that few
years before would have utterly crushed
them they seem to rise up and go on their
way-only few steps more-quietly, even
cheerfully: troubling no one, complaining
to no one, probably because it is only
few steps more. Suffering itself grows
calm in the near view of rest.
Thus it is with people of restful and pa
tient mind. For others there is still some
thing left Il have had all | wanted,''
said to me one of the most unquiet spirits
ever knew, keenly alive still, even under
the deafness of seventy-odd years. "Life
has been long puzzle to me, but | am
coming to the end of it now. There is
one thing more-I want to find out the
great secret, and | shall, before long"
One can quite well imagine some peo-
pie, to whom the after-life was neither a
certainty nor even a hope, looking for
ward to death as matter of at least curl
ositv. But for us who believe that death
is the gate of life it is quite different
feeling Putting it on the very lowest
ground-to have all our curiosity gratifed,
to know even as we are known, 20 feel
nearer and nearer to our hands the key Of
the eternal mystery, the satisfying of the
infinite desire-this alone is consolation,
in degree, for our own failing powers and
tagging spirits; nay, even for the slowly
emptying world around us-empying of
the wise and the good the pleasant and the
dear, whom one by one we see passing
ad naGjores." -.
IF could only get rid of my body l
should be all right" sighed once great
sufferer And there are times when even
the most patient of us feel rather glad that
we do not live forever. Respect our NOR
tai tabernacle as we may, and treat it ten
derby as we ought to do, we may one day
be not so very sorry to lay it down, not
only with all its sins, but with its ofteni in

Dogs for the Arctic Expedition.

In addition to the sledges drawn by the
men, the expedition will be furnished with
five or six sledges to be drawn by dogs, Of
which sixty are to be taken on board the
ships at the Danish settlement of Upper
navik, on the coast of Greenland, to be used
when sledging operations commence Sir
Leopold McClintock states, as the result Of
his experience, that two dogs can drag as
much as one man. Several tons of the
choicest dog biscuit have been provided
for their use, although some doubts are en-
tertained whether they will be duly appre-
ciated, experience having proved that the
Greenland dogs prefer devouring each
other to any food which can be offered
them N Othing," says Admiral Osborn,
'can be more exhilarating than dog
sledging in the Arctic regions on fine
day. The rafting pace of the dogs, their
intelligence in choosing the road through
the broken ice; the strict obedience paid
by the team to one powerful dog whom
they elect as leader; the arbitrary exercise
of authority by the master dog; the con
slant use of the whip, and the running
conversation kept up by the driver with
the different dogs, who well know their
names, afford constant enjoyment" How
ever useful they may be, these Arctic
dogs seem to be deficient in that affection
ate disposition which endears their species
SO much to man. Capt. Vesey Hamilton
stated, at recent meeting Of the Royal
Geographical Society, that he believed the
Esquimaux dogs to be the most migrate
full creatures in creation. He had travelled
for several hundred miles by sledge, and
for six weeks it was his duty regularly to
feed the dogs; but after only weeks alb
sence, on the conclusion of the journey,
they would not recognize him in the
slightest degree. Sir Leopold McClin-
took, who is said TO have originated this
mode of Arctic travelling, states that it
would be mistake to attempt to house the
dogs, as they can live near the ships dur
ing a whole winter, and if treated differ
emily would sicken and die.-BLackc00d

been so warm since old Gen. Cass was

said Jim. "Gen. Cass never was President
Of the United States" Why, yes, he was,
replied Preston, with well-feigned aston
ishment "I'll bet you the drinks for the
house he wasn't" said the excited pro-

and lie drew forth his pocket-book, I'M

President Taylor having died on Saturday,
and Vice-President Fillmore not being at
Washington the President of the Senate,
Gen. Cass, became President of the United
States until the following Monday, pending
FilImore's Inauguration. When the old
man had finished reading he looked
around and said: "Come up, boys. A
