Mistaken Kindness,

Those amiable people who arc never
so happy as when doing service to man
Or beast, may sometimes err through
want of judgement. For instance, the
old man in this story:
There is an old getleman that comes
into town on foot every morning, who
appears to be great friend to dumb an
imals. Whenever he sees dog scratch
ing at the sbop-door to be let in he
promptly opens it for the animal. The
other morning he made mistake in the
dog business. lie let one in, and soon
the same canine came rushing between
his legs, nearly throwing him down, and
covering the lower part of his trousers
with paint.
A man with overalls on was chasing
the dog, trying 10 get at him with a
paint brush he had in his hand. The old
gentleman expostulated with the irate
painter--for such he proved to be-say-
ing:
MY good man, why do you wish to
hurt that dog?" -
Because he has tipped over my paint
and made an awful mess of everything
Some IDIOT let him into the shop when we
were all trying to keep him out while
was" doing some painting He jumped
through the door stuck his fore legs into
the paint-pot, and tipped it over. Brown
paint on q marble floor looks we'll,
doesn't it? I wish people would mind

was then but little boy, with nobody to
look to, and often had not known where
to sleep at night.
