Why lie lr;s Gneenlafing.

He is an old gray-haired clerk in n
Wall-street office. The boys were asking
him, at lunch time, why he never specu-
lated, and after some little hesitation, he
replied:

/" Something Good In the Fellow.v

An eminent public man who shall be
nameless--a man of great intellectual
power, of real goodness of heart at bot
tom, but sadly broken and demoralized
by a long continued course of wrong
living and much wrong-doing-w
once told by boon companion how a
certain other public man had been abus-
ing him.

friend, whose soul was really above the

ceived by the average boy up to his
l4th year at 125. This includes the
spanking process during infancy.

the wrong train; 499 wish they had

The risk Of being bitten by dog is

Rorse Thieves Of India.

The Khyber Pass is the chief gateway
INTO Cabui. Sixteen miles from ii is the
city of Peshawur Two miles from the
city is the English cantoument, contain
ing nine or ten regiments. The adjoin-
ing valley and hills are full of profes-
sional robbers. The objects which they
love to steal are arms, money, and
horses. In securing these they show
skill and daring. A writer III Cham
bers Journal tells several anecdotes of
these thieves, which exhibit their skill
IN horse stealing:
The most popular plan of horse steal
ing requires Of least three men to carry
ii out comfortably and successfully. One
of them quietly steals his way into the
stable, and lays hold of cord which has
been pushed through one of the air
holes in the wall by one Of his friends
outside.
The two use the string as saw. while
the third pours upon tia plentiful supply
of water. The co. / silently aud speedily
cuts its way down the mud wall.
In q wonderfully short time the three
craftsmen manage TO saw around pcr-
ton Of the wall, which, when pushed
outwards, leaves q space sufficient to
allow horse to pass ont.
This done, the remaining work presents
no difficulty. The ropes which bind the
horse are cut, and in short time he is
cantering to the hills, with generally two
and sometimes his three new masters on
his back.

The extent Of this walk was not more
than thirty yards, and thus at no time
could he have been more than fifteen
yards from his charger. He was armed
in the usual way, with short rifle and
tulwar, on sword.
While thus doing duty. a Hill man
managed to crawl quite close to him
without exciting notice and waiting
quietly until the sentry was near the
end Of his walk, and, of course, with his
back to the horse, the robber cut the
chargers rope, mounted him, and ia a
moment was galloping AWAY from the

ton in which his steed had gone; guards
turned out, and great noise was raised.

A Good Dog story.

A correspondent of the Spectator
writes that this story Of dogs sagacity
may be relied upon as true; During the
meeting oF the British Association at
Glasgow, friend of mine had occasion
to go one day from that place to Green
oca on business. Hearing, ON his ar
rival, that the person he wished 10 see
was cat, but expected shortly to return
heme, he determined to take a stroll
about the town, to which he was a
stranger. In tic course of his walk he
turned into bakers shop and bought q
bun. As he stood at the door Of the
shop eating his bun large dog came up
to him aud begged for a share, which he
got and seemed TO enjoy, coming back
for piece after piece. docs tue dog be-
long to your" my friend asked of tie
shop woman. NO she answered, ''but
he spends most of time here. and begs
half-pennies from the people who pass. !"
"Half-pennies What good can they do
him r ''Oh, he knows very well what
to do with them; he comes into the shop
and buys cakes y
This seemed rather remarkable in
stance Of cleverness even for the clever
est of animals; so, by way Of testing its
reality my friend went out of the shop
into the street, where he was immediate
ly accosted by the dog, who begged for
something with all the eloquence Of
which dog is capable He offered him
half penny and was rather surprised to
see him accept it readily and walk With
the air of regular customer into the
shop, where he put his fore paws ON the
counter and held out the half-penny to-
ward the attendant The young woman
produced bun, but that did not suit the
dog, and he held his money fast. "Ah,
said she, II know what he wants, and
took down from shelf plate of short
bread This was right; the dog paid his
half penny, took his short-bread and ate
it with decorous satisfaction. When he
had quite finished he left the shop, and
my friend, much amused, followed him,
and when he again begged, found an
other half-penny for him, aud saw the
whole process gone through second
time.
This dog clearly had learned by some
means the use of money, and not merely
that it would buy something to eat, but
that it would buy several things, among
which he could exercise right of choice.
What is perhaps most remarkable is that
his proceedings were entirely independ-
ent, and for his own benefit, not that Of
any teacher or master
