Women and Pets.

The London World says: "The relations be-
tween women and the dumb animals whom
they keep and adore form a very interesting
and complex question. The lady who is given
to horses and to dogs regards them with feel
ipgs altogether different from those entertained
by men, who are, in a sense, equally devoted
to both. Love, there is poetical authority for
saying, makes up the whole sum of the exis-
tence of women, and is a thing apart in the
life of man; and the woman who has passion
for her kennel and her stable seldom finds
much time to care for anything else. The dog
which she pets and the horse which she rides
have to her more vivid personality than they
could possess for the sluggish soul of any of
the lords of creation. The most enthusiastic
panegyrists OF dumb animals have been wo-
men. Kingsley and Whyte-Melville, both OF
them loved dogs and horses, and described
what may be called their inner life and emo
tions with pathos and power. katerfelto is a
monument reared by loving as well as a
knowing hand to an immortal steed. But one
must go to the novels of Ouida to find what
dumb animal worship really is. No doubt the
animals themselves are perfectly aware OF the
intensity of affection which they awake in the
breasts of their miStresSes They do their ut
most to reciprocate it and thus there springs
up between the dog or the horse and the lady a
sentiment which is one of more than intelli-
gent friendship, and almost approaches to the
verge of romantic attachment. All this may
have its humorous and amusing side. 1t pos
sesses however, another aspect of a rather
melancholy character. Women, to whom their
dogs and horses are the first objects of exis-
tence, have usually had more or less painful
histories. Their life has been to great extent
wasted, and their affections have been squan-
dered, and have brought them in no adequate
return. The dog, big or small, violates no con-
fdence, and is guilty of no betrayal It appre-
ciates kindness and makes the best return of
which it is capable. 1t is loyal and true after
its own lights; and, if it is fond of its own COM
forts, 1t is paragon of unselfshness in COM
parison with men. Such, at least, is the femi-
nine estimate of the well-cared-for quadrnped,
whose nearest approach to sigh is whine,
and to an expression Of distrust q growl. The
pet thus becomes the prime necessity OF the
over-wrought, feverish existence which wo-
men lead now. Men fnd comfort and counsel
in tobacco, in their clubs, and sometimes in
their books and in their own thoughts. But
all, or most, of these resources are denied to
women. There remains the cup of tea or the
dumb pet; and if the latter were endowed
with the gift of understanding all which it
has observed, or might have observed; If it
were able to express these experiences in artic-
ulate speech, what are the romances, and
sometimes the tragedies of real life which it
could not publish to the world?"

The Louisville Courier-Journal prints a
letter from CDR 7. V. Roy, Hindoo The
ist-Reformer of Madras, India" dated at
Glasgow, who seems to be good deal of a
backslider. He says: II am member OF
the First Presbyterian church of Lexington,
KY, and desire to say | have given up
Christianity and gone back to the Brahma
Somaf church of India, which was founded
BY my family. By this church i am per-
suaded to study for the ministry and &c
back to my country and preach the father
hood of God and brotherhood of man.
want to be understood distinctly that / am
not an orthodox Christian" Probably the
Brahmins may conclude to send DIR. Roy
back to Kentucky as missionary.

EACH month for some months past the
reduction of the public debt has been so re-
markably large that the figures representing
the liquidation accomplished during the
month of November seem small by compari-
son. In that time we only paid off about
seven and quarter millions of the national
Indebtedness, or at the rate of something
like one-quarter million for each working
day. To be sure, this is doing pretty well.
There is not another nation in the world
which is in position to accomplish any
thing like it.
