A French Dog.

A certain Monsieur n, going OF
foot from Leuze to Lessiness, ir
Belgium, took with him his dog
which he was anxious TO get rid of
but as he has unwilling either tc
drown him or 10 shoot him, he re-
solved to lose him on the way. The
dog, who, instead to kind words
and earesses, received nothing, but
threats, seemed to understand bis
masters project; he kept quite
close to his heels, and would not
leave him for amoment. N, obIig-
ed to sleep out for that night in
order to finish his business, went
to the inn, and said to his fourfoot-
ed companion, instead of good
night:
TO morrow, you rascal, I shall
take the train, and you will have to
walk around here
He then went up to his room
and went to bed. The next morn
ing, great was Ms surprise to per-
ceiye when he got up that one Of
his socks and his waistcoat were
missing. The landlord, when
questioned, maintained that no one
could have taken these articles, as
no other stranger had been lodged
in the inn. They were searching
and wondering, when they found
in a corner Of the house the dog,
who had been so threatened the
evening before, lying upon the
stocking and waistcoat of his mas
ter. The poor animal seemed to
have wished in this way to prevent
his master from starting without
him. ~ NJ; adniring the sagacity of
his dog no longer tried to get rid
of him.

Selected Story.
The Wake

only a Iaboring man; but he was
we'll liked in the country, and it was
expected that his funeral would be
an unusually la~ge gathering.
Crowds focked to the wake, and a
great provision of tea, whiskey,
pipes and tobacco had been made.
The widow occupied her post of
houor at the head Of the coffin, and
displayed fair show Of grief,
joining in with vociferous weeping
whenever the"keeoing" was led by
the older women. She was young
enough to have been the dead mans
daughter, having come to his house
a "sIip" Of a servant girl, whom he
had married and ruled over very
masterfully.

startled company had recovered
from the shock, poor Tim was lifted
out Of the coffin; whiskey was
literally poured down his throat,
and, we'll wrapped up in blankets
and seated in the big chair by the
fire, he gradually revived from the
trance or stupor that had been mis-
taken for death. The last of the
guests had departed from the
cabin, and Tim, still propped up
before the fire, was left to the care
Of his wife. Instead Of coming near
him, however, she slunk eff, cring

behind his chair, whence she di-
rected frightened gIaDces at her
