situation. and said:
You stand by the horse while heave on
the rail, and don't be afraid Of getting mud
on Your boots.
Their united efforts raised the vehicle and

to get in and ride. She hesitated locke
up and down the road, and finally said:

There is at present confined in the Maine

Canadian, who is there incarcerated for the
murder Of woman. During his leisure
hours, with nothing but q pocket and shoe
knife, file and milestone, this prisoner has
manufactured a clock which keeps accurate
time, and which is great mechanical curl

his wings on the hour being reached. There
are also figures showing the day of the week
and month. Underneath is glass case.

music box plays tunes at the same time. A
mouse is made to run out from its hiding
place, and it is quickly caught BY cat. A

impudent and after q tussle is knocked
down. A snake glides stealthily over the
floor, and at the door a sentinel stands with
a small tin cup in his hand, who takes of
his hat and politely bows when coin is drop
ped into his cup. Among the objects are
full companies of infantry and cavalry,
which come out and 90 through the manual
of arms very finely. The clock is exhibited

are the odd dimes he receives from visitors.

was smiling. A more afFectionate heart
never beat than that beneath the shaggy
breast of our dog Custer. We trained him

horse away, and he was very proud to be
| allowed this honor, and would wag his big,
| bushy tail in a satisfied way, and hold his
head high in order to look as digniied as
possible sunpose
His tricks and accomplishments were MANY,

tering a room would always turn around and

failed he would Jump upon the door, taking
! care not to scratch with his nails He was
more intelligent than many men have seen,

walk quietly away and lie down, as one who

We would wrap a few pennies in . paper
and send him with it in his mouth to . store

would never give it to any but one clerk,
with whom he was acquainted, and would
bring the candy home untouched, but after
delivering it to us would stand expectantly

sweet morsel he knew he was sure to get.
He was fond of milk, too, but would carry it
faithfully to our pet lamb; and though he
would glance longingly into the pail oc-
casionally, he was never known to betray
our trust or steal one sip of the convicted
beverage.
We could send him to remote part Of
the house for any article, and he would be
sure to understand and bring it to us if he
could find it, and he generally found what
ever he searched for would say: Cluster,

would get up and yawn, perhaps, and look
up in my face with dog g-smile, as though
he said '.You lazy girl, why did YOU disturb
my pleasant dream?" then turn the knob
of the hall door and in a moment return to
