A Dog Bathing.MaSter.

Our faithful friend Jet, a powerful
dog, lived with us on the Navesink
Highlands. One summer we had
bright little fellow who, although not
in the least vicious, yet had boys pro-
pensity to destroy, and to injure, and to
infiict pain. Master Willie loved Jet
dearly, and yet he would persist in tor
turing the patient dog outrageously,
striking hard blows, punching with
sharp sticks, and pulling hair cruelty.
One summers afternoon Jet was lying
on the front piazza, taking nap, and
Willie came out and assaulted him with
new carriage-whip. which had been
left in the hall. Jet knew the child
ought not to have the whip, so he went
and called the nurses attention, as he
often did when the children were get
ting into mischief or danger. But the
girl did not give heed, as she should
have done, and Willie kept on following
Jet from place to place, plying the lash
vigorously. Finding he was left to
deal with the case himself, Jet quietly
laid the young one on the floor, care
fully took good grip in the gathers OF
his little frock, lifted him clear, and
gave him q hearty, sound shaking
Then he took up the whip, trotted uE
to the barn with it, came back, stretched
himself out in the shade, and finished
his nap. The young gentleman die
not interfere with him again, and evel
| afterward treated him with great con
sideration.
Nothing delighted the dog more thar
to go into the water with the young
folk, and to see the bathing-sultl
brought out always put him il TIN
highest spirits. The children callet
him "the boss of the bathing-ground,
and SO he was, as he made all hands d.
just as he pleased. He would tax
them in and bring them out again, a
he thought fit, and there was no use il
resisting him, as he could master hall
la-dozen at once in the water. No on

Rest.

1t is work, work, work with us, until
verify it is wonder that the dullness
which was predicted for the fgurative
Jack" if he labored ceaselessly and
never played, has not swamped the ma
ton in imbecility. A certain eminent
physician maintains that rest and activ-
ity might be aptly compared to two
sentlnels, having between them the duty
to perform Of guarding a camp or fort
ress. They must take their charge in
turns-when the one goes off the
other comes on. We're activity to re-
main too long on duty the heart would
futter and fail, the brain would reel,
and the sentinel drop dead of fatigue;
on the other hand, rest might remain
long enough on guard to fall asleep.
Thus, even rest may be over-done, and
conduce to sloth, e1a9aati, and atony
of the brain. And yet how many of
the hundreds of thousands in this great
city who possess such vital camps or
fortresses think it necessary to look out
for the welfare of their sentinels? For
eigners regard us with awe and wonder;
they say that the rush and hustle of
this new world sets them wild. A
European rests when it is necessary !;
an American works when it is unneces-
sary. There may have been some ex-
cuse for this tension of exertion while
the country was yet an unreclaimed
wilderness. and the inroads of nature
and savages had to be considered; but
now that the nation is upon its feet
and, to use a vulgarism, almost runs
itself" this stress of effort is as absurd
as it is disastrous. Wedo not for mo-
ment doubt that Young America will
coincide with lis upon the question of
wholesome recreation; it is prejudice
and persons of remote nativity with
whom we have to battle. Customs

strength and spirit, he might have re-
cruited himself; but it is now too late.
