A Dog that Stole a Newspaper.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledoer, residing in Holmesburg, Pa, relates the following story of " a dog of no particular breed, and also quite young and small for his age :"-" He brings the newspaper-the Public Led ger-from the gate every morning. He used to carry it up stairs to an invalid, who was always the first to read it. But this person having died, the dog from that day brought the Ledger direct to the dining-room. One day he under. took to play with it before he brought it into the house, and tore it almost in pieces. When he came in with it in this state he was scolded for it, where upon he turned on his heel, and in few minutes came back with another Led ger. For several days after this he all ways brought us two papers, and we could not tell where he got them until 8 neighbor of ours came in to claim them. The dog, having once begun the bad practice of stealing, was for long time difficult to break of it, and would go round among the neighbors and pick the papers up wherever he found them. But now, I am glad to say, we have com pletely broken him of it, and I think he will no more be an annoyance in this respect. The foregoing is strictly true, and could mention several other re- markable proofs of his sagacity."

An Indignant Colonel.

On one occasion Colonel Doan, of the One Hundred and First Indiana, made an effort to have all the regiment fire their guns off together. After taking great pains to dress them in line he rode down the front and gavespecial in- structions for every man to be slow and deliberate. He said he would be care- full to give every one time snd he wanted every man to fire at the word of command and see how near they could all come to discharging their guns to- gether. When he was ready he rode back, and after taking calm survey of the regiment he gave the command :: "Make readyp Ca long pause) "Take aim r (another long pause, during which some one by accident fired his gun next, two or three more went off {; then the whole regiment commenced ; some of the boys supposed he had said Fire r and they had not heard it. So it was spot! bang then bang !up and down the whole line, bang bang go- ing off one at time and eight or ten at time). The Colonel sat calmly cn his horse until the last gun was fired; then with 8 loud voice he yelled, "Great Lord Oh, Mighty have you got done already? If there was not so confounded many of you I'd arrest the whole regi- ment. Go to your quarters, every cussed one of you! You ha'n't got the sense of mule !''

Pins and Whisky.

MT. Cough in one of his addresses spoke of some things that "save life by not being swallowed :''
 They tell us that alcohol gives strength and nourishment. No, it does not; it gives stimulus. You sit down on hornets nest, and it may be quicken. ing, but it is not nourishing.
 A man once said to friend of mine. "You are fighting whisky. Whisky has done good deal of good. Whisky has saved great many ives."
 "What do you mean ?" said he.
 "Why, whisky has saved 8 great many lives."
 "You remind me-" said my friend, "of 8 boy who was told to write an essay about 8 pin, and, in his boyish way, he said, "A pin is very queer sort of a thing. It has a round head and sharp point, and if you stick them into you, they hurt, and women use them for cuffs and collars, and men use them when their buttons are off. If you swallow them, they kill you. For five cents you get packet of them, and they have saved thousands of lives
 "The teacher said, 'What on earth do you mean? How have they saved thou sands of lives ?
 "'By people not swallowing them, answered the boy"
Connecticut western news., 1880-03-03

He was very clumsy in untying strings and unfastening buttons. As he did it, he remembered his wife's looks, and the carssses she used to lavish on her ''baby," as sue called him. No one had kissed him since she died, and with streaming eyes. the man pressed his hot lips to tho fresh, sweet mouth. -s .t' ,-'T
 A sudden realization of his own deg radiation came to him as he did this. Frank had slipped from his lap, and was kneeling, ready to be pro mpted, as usual, in his evening prayer. He claspsd his hands reverently, and looked into his fathers face, waiting for him to be- gin. .s.., .s --sv .... .- | Tbe man had long forgotten every prayer he had ever known. His brain was in whirl.
 "Now lay me-" lisped the child. seeing that he was expected to begin.
 As if by g divine touch, the whole some springs in the mans nature rose above the filth and drift that had choked them so long, and flooded his soul.
 "Not that prayer, my dear," he cried. in a broken voice "no, not that prayer. Say, God be merciful to poor sinner, and strengthen and help him Amen r 7 A strange prayer for baby lips to utter, but they isped it forth, and in it was found the salvation of half-ruined life.
