CURIOUS FREAK OF A DOG.

A Radnorshire lady, who was mar
ried in March, and came to reside in
Yorkshire, England, recently paid
visit to her father, who, before she
was married, had kept two or three
sheep-dogs, of which she was very
fond. Since then he has retired from
business, and disposed of all but one
dog. This one met the lady with de-
monstrations of great delight upon
her arrival at her fathers house, and
that night, the dog went distance of
seven miles to a farmhouse where one
Of the other dogs had been sent, (the
latter was blind, but kept as being an
old favorite.) In the morning when
the lady went to the door she not only
saw the dog which had given her such
a glad reception the day previously,
but also the old blind one, which had
evidently been brought by the other
dog to welcome her. When tho
second night came the old blind one
was taken back to its home by the
same dog, which afterward returned,
having travelled a distance Of twenty
eight miles to give pleasure to the old
blind one.

Beautiful Words from KOssuth,

In sending to friend a sprig of cy-
press to be placed upon Franz Deak's
tomb, the venerable patriot, Louis
Kossuth, writes in a tone of mingled
sadness and stoicism of his own ap-
preaching end. He says This sigh
ing breath of death whispers in my
ear, Mind, it is now your turn And
I answer the voice, All right I am
ready Yes, it is indeed nv turn.
Of those who were once in our Father
land called the Old Guard few are left
since Deak's death and among the
few with the exception of sigismund
Bernath, l am the oldest. I am but
living statue-a tragical monument
of the slandered past in the midst of
desert-nothing more. Well, I am
ready I will go to my place so light
ly and silently that my nearest neigh
Dor shall not hear me. And I can as
sure you that the earth will continue
to roll round and round, nevertheless,
and outside of my own narrow family
circle mo cock will crow for me- 1t
is comfort, however, to know that
one has given nobody the headache
But l remark, almost too late, that
these reflections have lasted too long.
l close with this request Take, I beg,
the time to place this cypress bough,
symbol Of the resurrection, upon
Deak's tomb-alone and without any
ado. The wind will perhaps blow it
away, or it will be trodden under foot.
Never mind. Ifthis cosmical impon-
derability-this infnitesimal part of
the universal soul which by the laws
Of our physical relations is placed in
our bodies to make them living, think
ing beings if this, after the dissolu-
tion of the raw material, retains its
personality (Which my science makes
me hold for impossible because the
original element is inextinguishable, }
and if there exists a connection be-
tween the two lives "a natural wish,
but hard to beiieve,) that which was
once called Franz Deak will under
stand what the cypress branch says to
him from me-"

Life Heightened.

DR.. Hall in his excellent Journal of
Health, gives the following sensible
and suggestive rules under the above
heading
l. Cultivate an equal temper; many
have fallen dead in a fit of passion.
2. Eat regularly, not over thrice a
day, and nothing between meals.
8. Go to bed at regular hours get
up as soon as you wake Of yourself,
and do not sleep in the day-time-at
least not longe, than ten minutes be-
fore noon.
4. Work always by the day, and
not by the job.
5. Stop work before you are very
much tired-before you are tagged
out"
6. Cultivate a generous and accom-
modating temper.
7. Never cross a bridge before you
come to it; this will save you half
the troubles of life.
8. Never eat when you are not hun
cry, nor drink when you are not thirs-
ty.
8. Let your appetite always come
unlimited.
10. Cool off in place greatly war.
mer than the one in which you have
been exercising. This simple rule
would prevent incalculable sickness
and save millions of lives every year.
IL. Never resist call of nature for
single moment.
IL. Never allow yourself to be chill
ed through and through it is this
which destroys so many every year,
in a few days, sickness, from pneu-
monia-called by some lung fever-or
inflammation Of the lungs.
l3, Whoever drinks no liquids at
meals will add years of pleasurable
existence to his life. Of cold or warm
drinks the former is the most perni-
cious. Drinking at meals induces per-
sons to eat more than they otherwise
would, as any one can verify by ex-
pertinent and it is an excess of eating
which devastates the land with sick
ness, suffering and death.
IA. After fifty years of age, if not
day laborer, and sedentary persons at
forty, should eat but twice day-in
the morning and about four in the
afternoon for every organ without
adequate rest will "give out" prema-
turelv.

There are several ways by which the
