Dogs and Doctors.

A queer thing has occurred just now.
My father, DR.. Atlee, was in mis- office,
and heard a dog yelping outside the
door he paid no attention until a sec
ond and louder yelp was heard, when he
opened the door and found little brown
dog standing on the step upon three legs.
lie brought him in and, on examining
the fourth leg, he found a pin sticking
in it, He drew out the pin, and the dog
ran away again. The office is not ex-
actly on the street, but stands back, hav-
ing in front of it, some six feet of, q
stone wall with gate. l will add that
it has not been possible to discover any
thing more about this dog.
This story reminds me of something
similar that occurred to me while study
| ing medicine in the same Office nearly
thirty years ago A man named Cos
grove had his arm broken, and came
many times to the office to have the
dressing arranged. He was always ac
companied by large, ferocious-looking
bulldog, that watched me most atten
lively, and most unpleasantly to me
while bandaging his masters arm. A few
weeks after Cosgrove's case was dis
charged, / heard a noise at the office
door as if some animal were paving il
and on opening it saw there this huge
bulldog. accompanied by another dos
that held up one of its fore-legs, evident
ly broken. They entered the office;
cut several pieces of wood and fastened
them firmly to the leg with adhesive
plaster, after Strengthening the limb

A Hibernian Mistake.

On the day of the battle of Trafalgar,
two Irishmen were on the deck of Brit
ish ship, looking anxiously at the COM
bined fleets OF France and Spain.

"Troth, an its meself will do it, wild
all the pleasure in life" said Mike, and
so the agreement was made.
Not many hours after. the battle ragged
furiously; balls came thick and fast, shot
and shell danced to the thunder OF the
cannon, but above all the din Pat heard
Mike calling to him:
"Och, Pat, Pat, honey TAre an ages

Pat; get upon me back, and I'll carry

Poor Mike mounted as best he could,
but during the transit to the cockpit, a
second cannon ball took his head off.
Pat, all unconscious of Mikes second
loss, carried him down, and calling the
doctor, said:
"0h, docthor, honey Here's a poor
fellow has lost his leg, won't you come
and see what you can do for him?'
"His legl" said the doctor, with all the
irony possible in his voice, Ibis legl

A Beggar Scared.

A little boy stood on the corner OF
Washington and Brooks streets a few
days ago to beg of the passers by. He
was not ragged but UNANIMOUSLY dirty. He
looked as though he had been to dinner
with unweaned pigs and did not know
much about soap and water. A passen-
ger who did not notice him at first was
assailed with
mister Please Mister, gimme FIVE
cents; my mothers feet is swelled sos
"Go and wash your face you dirty
scamp" shouted the indignant passen-
ger. And the beggar boy retreated in a
panic.
1t may be it was a worthy object, that,
the boys mother was deserving aid but
an urchin eight years old ought to know
that the Kanawha river and the beauti-
fully clear Elk have an abundance of
water that don'tcost a cent, and that he
ought to try its virtues once a month at
least Kanawha Chronicle.

BaMed.

Lawyers try, if possible, to confuse a
witness, but sometimes, in so doing get
terribly confused themselves. The fol-
lowing story to this effect is told of Mr..
Finn, the actor:
Finn was once witness for the prose
cution in a case before the Court OF Com
mon Pleas, and his testimony was so di-
rect and conclusive that the counsel for
the defense thought it necessary to dis
credit him. The following dialogue en-
sued:
"Mr... Finn, you live in - street?'
"Yes, / do"
"You have lived there great while7'
Several years"
docs not female live there under
your protectionT
There does"
"Does she bear your nameY'
"She is certainly known in the neigh
borhood by the name of Mrs. Finn"
"Is she your wife?'
mo; we were never legally married.
That will do. sir | have no more to
ask"
but have something more to an
swer, sir," replied Finn, with spirit. "The
Mrs. Finn, of whom you have been pleas
ed to speak with such levity, is my moth
or; and 1 know but one man base enough
to breathe aught against her. You, sir
can guess who that is. True, she is un.
der my protection. She protected me
through my infancy and childhood, and
it is paying but a small part of the debt
l owe her, to do as much for her In
her old age"

say,

Safe at Last.



A striking example Of the glorious sal
vation that is of grace through Jesus,
came under my observation some years
since. Mr.. A. was elected to the office
of Treasurer in q county of Ohio. He
came under the power of an unprincipled
man through illegally loaning him a sum
of public money. Being threatened with
exposure by this man, he was induced to
become an accomplice in robbing the
Treasury: submitting to be bonnd and
gagged while the thief removed the mon
ey from the safe, even taking Mr.. As
private purse. OF this stolen money the
Treasurer received no share.
For many years he carried burdened
conscience, and finally confessed, and
was sent, together with the robber, to the
State prison. While in prison he en-
braced the salvation of the gospel, and
united, think, with the Methodist
Episcopal Church. Before the expira-
ton of his term of imprisonment he was
taken sick, and was reprieved by the
Governor that he might die at home.
He died shortly after his release, and his
last words, addressed to his wife, were
"Safe at last. Nellie"
Safe at last" This utterance was the
sigh of relief from soul that had passed
through darkness and tempest soul
that had been bruised upon the rocks OF
error, though not sunken in the ocean OF
perdition-arriving finally, weary and
sick, but safely, into the port of heaven.
"Safe at last" A soul finding "the
rest" of Him who said Come unto Me,
all ye that labor end are heavy laden,
and will give you rest"
Safe at last" He had made ship
wreck of life and trust and honor, and
his soul had wellnigh gone down into
the depths: but the strong arm of the
mighty to Save" had held his head
above the waters and brought him alive
to the better land.
"Safe at last" Life's errors were all
past; frailty and corruption were passing
into the dust: and the soul sanctified by
the Spirit of God, and washed white in
the blood of the Lamb, was rising to the
sinless purity of heaven.
"Safe at last" The prison was ex.
changed for the palace Of God, the gar
ments of shame for the "clean linen pure
and white" and the dishonor for the
Grown of glory that fadeth not away"
Safe at last" God be praised for a
salvation that was capable of being ex.

Wanted Pizen.

The other day q thin-waisted woman
with snap to her eyes entered a De

around she asked:

"Yeu've got pizen in powders and pi

The clerk drew back little and said:
Il fear we can't sell you any poison,
madam.
"You can't2 What's the matter you
can't9'
"You-you might not make good use
OF it." he tremblingly said.
What do you meanT she slowly ASK
ed, kind O reaching for him across the
counter.
"why, family trouble, perhaps-your
husband-you may be little deranged," !"
he stammered.
She gave him look of lofty contempt
and said:
"You needn't be afraid of me, bub!

four drug stores like this, and my hus-
band and get along as well as any pair.
When he gets high nosed and tries to
boss around, pint to a chair, give him a

By-Gone Days.
by WATERLOO.

We were conversing with a well-known
gentleman not long since, and, among
other things that he spoke Of he referred
to the fact of his having just returned
from the home of his youth-the country
home where he passed the first eighteen
years of his life.
He said: Every thing that / once
knew so well found changed by time;
the little stream near the old house; the
hillside where in youth l played; the old
rustic gate, now hanging to its posts, half
decayed and broken; and the familiar
trees even seemed to have grown grayer,
and their once erect forms had become
bent and tottering When ! stood IN
silence contemplating the change, 1t
seemed as if should hear every moment
the laugh of sister or the welEknown
call Of my mother, both Of whom had
long since gone to that land from whence
no traveller returns.
How many of US have the same feel
ings?
Often in those calm moments of
thought; when the cares Of the world
are laid aside, how these memories Of
"by-gone days" will arise and cause the
tear to start in spite of ourself 1t is a
sad recollection-that of those dear rela-
til es and friends of our youth who have
long since gone from US. The heart
fondly turns to those first attachments,
and even in old age tries to recall each
well.remembered look and words Of the
"dear-departed" more vividly to mind.
In looking back through these inter
vening years, how very little expression
of those we knew when life was young
will arise, and we find ourselves saying
within our hearts, OH what would we
not give for one look or one word from
those who were our playmates and
school-fellows, and those still dearer in
the "old home"
These musings upon the mutability of
this life, and the great Hereafter to
which we are SO rapidly passing. should
exert a softening and beneficial effect
upon our lives and characters, and make
us better men and women.
In memory's pleasant fields of thought
| We love TO think and ponder;
And, draw from out their hidden hooks,
| old friends and things back yonder.
In ripened age our thoughts go back
| To childhood's rosy hours;
And run along the woodland paths
And meadows sweet with flowers.
The same where we, when young and gay,
| . With life so bright before us;
We laughed the ieeting hours away,
Or sang in childish chorus.
Where golden youth, I'm Iife's young day,
I Played on the rustic gate;
And Innocence and simple joys
Ruled there from morn till late.
The children's merry laugh is hushed,
| The rustic gate lies broken;
And OF all the dear, familiar things,
There's hardly left a toke1.
And thus will memory wander back
| To Gull these by-gone treasures.
| Though when possessing tears viii start,
| So dear beyond all measures.
