don't feel like it. You can fix
up the loss with my son. All
we want is what is fair and
right" and turning to his son
the old man remarked: ''Put in
the FLOW enough; don't over
vally any thing" The whole
settlement was more like a flu
neral than al adjustment. Over
all hung the dark shadow of a
great loss which absorbed the
lesser one, and one which no in
demnity could free. 1t was a
loss which carried with it a sad
feeling, and yet with it all was
a view of sublime faith which
carried one beyond earthly los
ses and earthly gains, and gave
an insight of the heroic trust
and confidence from which
spring noble deeds and noble
men.

Dogs and the Weather.

Dogs are not without their
weather-lore. Thus, when they
eat grass it is a sign Of rain; if
they roll On the ground and
scratch, or become drowsy and
stupid, a change in the weather
may be expected. As, indeed, in
the case of the cat, most of their
turnings and twistings are sup
posed to be representations Of
something. There are numerous
other items Of folklore connected
with the dog to which We can
only incidentally allude. Thus
in Ireland it is considered un-
lucky TO meet a barking dog ear
ly in the morning, and on the
other hand just as fortunate for
one to enter a house the first
thing in the day. They are COM
monty said to possess a wonder
full instinct for discerning char
acter, generally avoiding ill-tem-
pered persons, ,and making friends
with any stranger who happens
to be of a kind and cheerful dis
position. The life Of a dog is
said to be bound up.
with that of his master or mis-
tress. When either dies, the
other can not live. 1t is curious
that this faithful companion of
man should have become q term
of reproach, and be used by most
of our old writer's. Thus we find
various phrases such as "dog-
bolt" "dog's face" "dog's
leach" I" "dog-trick," &C., all of
which were intended to convey
the idea of contempt. In days
gone by it was a common prac-
tice in the country house for the
dog to turn the spit at the kitchen
fire, a custom which is describ-
ed by DIR. Gains, founder of the
College at Cambridge which
bears his name.

Not until they had been some

Not until they had been some
days married did Willard Whar-
ton say one day carelessly,
"By-the-by, Daisy, was that
watch ever found?"
Eyes, Felix was arrested six
months afterward for stealing
some of the plate, and in his
trunk was the watch. Papa
searched faithfully for you, but
you had vanished as if the earth
had swallowed you"
"I knew it would turn up
somewhere" said Mr.. Wharton,

darling might not have given
me my golden talisman."

PLEASANT WORDS.

No matter how the world may go,
How dark its shadows be,
Or whether June's sweet roses blow
To gladden. you and me,
There always is time of day
Our voices may be heard,
When we can pause beside the way
10 say a pleasant word.
The little barefoot girl we meet,
The maid whose love was vain,
The hatless boy upon the street,
And blind man with his cane,
When they receive the humble mite
Will feel their bosoms stirred,
If, with the coin Of value light,
We pass pleasant word.
And hearts that now with sorrow ache
Beneath some heavy blow,
Will from the shadows rise and break
The spell of all their woe,
And feel that Ii e hath sunshine new,
And songs as sweet as birds,
If we be but humane and true,
And give them pleasant words.

Free Your Mind"

A Quaker, OH hearing a man
swearing, said, "That's right,
friend! Get all the bad stuff
out of thee as quickly as possi-
ble." The following anecdote
of Horace Greeley shows that if
Mr.. Greeley did not sympathize
with the Quaker, yet he could
keep cool under proyocation:
One day a stranger came into
the Office, looking angry, and
inquired for Greeley. l pointed
him to the little den where Gree
ley was scratching away for
dear life, and he made for it.
AS he went in / heard him
say, "You old hypocritev' using
an oath at the same time.
Greeley did not look up or e.
ven pause, but kept driving his
pen madly on, his nose within d
couple of inches of the paper,
and his lips whispering the words
after the pen, as was his wont.
The fellow continued, calling
Greeley's attention to an article
that had offended him, and de-
nouncing him as a william,
coward and a liar, with an oath
after about every other word,
meantime threatening to "knock
his head Off"
Greeley didn't stop for a mo-
ment, but wrote on unrutied by
the blasphemy.
At last the intruder exhausted
his vocabulary and turned to
leave the room, when Greeley
jumped up and squeaked out to
him:
"Say, ,neighbor, don't go! Stay
here and free your mindi"

Tell God.

a curious story is told Of the
wreck of a large British coal
ship which foundercd far out at
sea, last juno, off the coast Of
California. The sole survivor
was a Portuguese sailor named
Lopez, who was picked up, LASH
ed to Il raft, Us he drifted in the
path of an inward-bound vessel
for Puget Sound.
He was taken to the Marine
Hospital at Port Townsend, and
after Il week of skillful nursing
became sensible SO as TO relate
his extraordinary adventure. He
had iloated with a dozen COM
panions helplessly in the Pacific
for ten days, without food or
water. One after another his
shipmates died from thirst, until
he was alone with the last sur
vivOr, and he was dying. Lopez
said to him:
"GeOrge, do yon think you
are going to God?'
On receiving an affirmative
reply, Lopez added, with all the
mtenseness Of despair, "When
you get where God is, tell Him
to send me some water"
The dying man promised that
he would do SO, and soon breath
ed his last. Shortly after, a CO.
pious shower fell, and Lopez was
enabled by its help to hold out
until rescued, as stated above,
on the twenty-second day after
the sinking Of the ship.
