 Forty -four children from New York came up on the Thursday evening train to take the fresh air, and were distributed into different families to remain for two weeks, as we car ried them from the depot. we noticed one very pleasant feature: they had, no Saratoga trunks to burden us with.-The children were nigh tired out; and, like most travellers, need ed at their journeys end plenty of soap and water and something good to eat. All of which and much more was cheerfully provid- ed. We trust their stay here will be green spot in their .life's history. One, of them caught little toad and ran into the house CA claiming ''I have caught cricket" Another, seeing some swine in the field, called them sheep ;.and still another, riding by ian apple tree, says, ''See tie peaches See the peachesl" !" Besides breathing pure air, they will learn many valuable lessons.

0uiekened Conscience in Dog.

A correspondent of the London
Spectator. tells the following story
A young fox-terrier, about 8 months
old took a great fancy to small brush,
of Indian workmanship, lying on the
drawing-room table. It had been pun
ished more than once for jumping on
the table and taking it. On one occa-
sion the little dog was le&t alone in the
room accidentally. On my return it
jumped to greet me as usual, and I
said: Have you been good little
dog while you have been left alone? "
Immediately it put it's tail between it's
legs, skunk off into an adjoining room,
and brought back the little brush in its
mouth from where it had hidden it. I
was much struck with what appeared to
me remarkable instance of dog pos
sessing conscience, and few months
afterward, finding it again alone in the
room, | asked the same question, while
patting it. At once saw it had been
up to some mischief, for with the same
look Of shame it walked slowly to one of
the windows, where il lay down, with
it's nose pointing to letter bitten aud
torn into shreds. On a third occasion
it showed me where it had strewn a
number of little tickets about the floor,
for doing which it had been reproved
previously. I cannot account for these
facts, except by supposing the dog must
have conscience"

fer not to mix evergreen and deciduous
trees. This harmonious and contrast
ing disposition of color requires careful
study, and even, perhaps, anatural gift.
For instance, it is better to introduce
gay, bright colors in well-judged proper
tions. A few bright flowers of deep red,
blue, or yellow will have better effect

Singular.

John Nichols, farmer of Thompson,
Susquehanna county, Pa, whilewalking
in the woods on his farm thirty years
ago, ran twig into his right ear. A
piece Of it broke off in his head. He
became deaf, and at times suffered in
tense pain in his head. Two weeks
ago this pain became unusually acute
and continued without cessation until
Saturday last On that day Mr..
Nichols felt prickling sensation in his
left ear, and with pair of tweezers
pulled out round piece of wood three
quarters of an inch long and an
eighth of an inch in diameter. Mr..
Nichols was at once relieved of pain
and his hearing was restored. He has
no doubt that the piece of wood is the
bit of twig, that was thrust into his ear
thirty years ago. If so, it passed
through his head from one ear to the
other. The wood is perfectly sound.
