A MURDER pREvENTED.

Very extraordinary stories have been told
of dogs discovering and circumgentine plans
TO Wure the person Of their masters, in which
i is difficult to place implicit credit. We give
one Of the most marvellous of these anecdotes.
as it is usually related. Sir Henry Lee Of
Ditchley, q oSfofdshire, ancestor Of thu
Earls Of I.iehfed, had a mastiff which, gnartIs
ed the house and yard, but had never met
with any particular attention from his mas
ter. In short, he was not a favorite dog. ara
was retained for his utility only and ncs for
any partial regard. One night, as Sir Harry
was retiring to his chamber, attended by his
favorite valet, an Italian, the mastia silently
followed Them up stairs, which he had never
been known to do before, and| to, his masters
establishment, presented himself In tie BED
room. Being deemed an intruder, he was in
stantiy ordered to be turned out, which being
complied with, the poor animal began scratch
ing violently at the door, and howled loudly
for admission. The servant was sent to drive
him away. Encouragement, however, could
not check his intended labor Of love he re-
turned again, and was more importune to be
let in than before. Sir Harry, weary of oppo-
sition, though surprised beyond measure at
the dog apparent fondness tor Tile society Of
his master, who had never shown him the
least kindness, and wishing to retire to rest
babe the servant open the door, that they
might see what he wanted to do. This DONE
the mastiff, with wag of the tail, and look
OF affection at his lord, deliberately walked
up, and crawling under the bed, laid himself
down, as if desiring to take up his nights
lodging there. To save further trouble, and
not from any partiality for his company, this
indulgence was allowed. The valet withdrew
and all was still. About tho solemn hour of
midnight the chamber door was opened, and
person was heard stepping across the room.
Sir Harry started from sleep the dog sprang
from his covert, and seizing the unwelcome
visitor, fixed him to the spot. All was dark
Sir Hmey rang his BELL in great trepidation,
in order to procure d light. The person who
was pinned to the floor by the courageous
mastif reared for assistance 1t was found
to be the favorte valet, who little expected
such y reception. He endeavored to apollo
gize for his intrusion, and make reasons
which induced him to take this step appear
plausible but the Importantly of the dog,
the time, the place, tho manner Of the valet,
raised suspicion in Sir lIarry's mind, and he
determined to refer the investigation of the
matter to the magistrate The perhdious Ital-
ian, alternately terrified by the dread of pun
ishinent and soothed by the hope Of pardon,
at length confessed thee- 10 was his iutrntiouto
murder his master and then rob the houses
This diabolcal design was Illustrated solely
BY the unaccountablc sagacity of the dog and
devoted attachment to Ills master. a full
length picture of Sir Harry, with the massiff
by his side, and the words more faithful
than favored, is. still preserved among tho
family pictures. p Chambers 4nccd5tcs Of

A Coon ExAMPLE.--There is an interesting
and characteristic anecdote of Senator Chan
dler that has never been published, and is of
special interest now as showing why some Of
cur public men are so terribly bothered by
Investigations " while others are never dis
turbed.
Some five or six years ago Congress char
tered street railroad in this city. to run from
the Treasury Department out through North
End to the Bladensburg pike. No subsidy
was granted or asked--Congress merely nam
the corporators and granted the charter. In
due time company was organized to build
the road, and duly authorized officer called,
among others, upon Senator Chandler, and
asked hir,i to take few shares of stock to
help to start the enterprise, and he received,
in substance, the following respectful and ex-
plicit reply
&C make it the invariable rule of my ljfe,"
said the Michigan Senator, "not Co take stock
or other pecuniary interest in any company
chartered or otherwise aided by Congress
while am in the Senate. This enterprise of
yours is q good one. A road is needed
through the portion Of the city you propose
10 go, anu, III Weii thnnageO, VIII pay gOOq

there is any impropricty in Senators taking
stock in It, have made the rule mentioned
for myself only, and the more | think upon
the subject the more am disposed to adhere
to it,
The road was, however, built, and proved
to be very profitable, precisely as Senator
Chandler predicted. lie might Fave made
A.. =
All the more honor to him, therefore, for his
very proper and inflexible rule. If all other
public men were equally scrupulous Congress
would be saved world of troublesome " in

A GREAT MORAL LEssoN.-A long chap,
with n piping voice, entered a saloon, and
gaining the attention of a half dozen loafers
therein eongregated, he said
Gentlemen hcw many of you will drink
at my expense p"
~ will, was repeated by seven in chorus.
This proves to you, gentlemen" continu-
ed the vagrant putting down u nickle for his
own beer, how little can be depended on
first impressions. You love me now, filled,
with the anticipations of having square
drink. Your anticipations viii be blasted then
you will hate me. Let this be great moral
lesson to YOU
"They put him out in hurry, but the
great moral lesson was there just the same.

FAT MpAr.--A celebrated French instruct

FAT MEAT.--A celebrated French instruct
ofin the art of cookery says that fat meat is
tile most profitable. He adds
Many buy inferior meats on account of the
waste of the fat tlrat Is always found in good
meat. When the fat is wasted, it is the fault
OF the cook, who does not know how to- use
it. The fat SKINNED off the broth of boiled
meat, and that coming from the trimming Of
raw or cold beef, is much superior to lard to
fry with. Lsrd flies all over beef fat never
does when properly melted. TO melt beef
fat or snet cut it in small pieces, and set on
rather a slow fire, in an iron pam. As soon as
it begins to me t, skim the melted part off
with a lade, and turn it into stone jar,
which you cover when cold. Put it away in
COOL dry, and dark place. A careful cook
never needs lard for frying purposes, but al
ways has mere fat than is necessary out of
boiling or roasting pieces.

There was day when first saw your flee,
That day of days never can forget
Ind vet a day with all its wonderous grace,
Y ou said you loved me. DO you love me yet?
Tfe,years pass on, yet you young and fair
And ever crowned with blossoms of the way,
And am hopeless, filed with grief and care
Since dark day.
That day with white hands folded your breast
Y gu went to sleep, beloved, and did not wake,
And when your lips to mine madly pressed,
You would not answer though my heart should break
What did you care for all my signs and tearsY
What care you yet to answer when L. pray2
In those bright mansions where thousand years
Seem but day..
And yet you care. for love can never die;
The stars may fall and darkness cloud the sun,
The winds be silent, and the seas go dry,
But loves the breath of the Eternal One,
Then let me pray and labor while wait
The messenger to bear my soul away,
And you will meet me at the heavenly gate
Some happy day.
