GOOD WORK OR NONE.

1t is rule that a workman must follow
his employers orders, but no one has
right to make him do work discreditable
to himself. Judge NJ, well-known
jurist, living near Cincinnati, loved to tell
this anecdote of a young man who under
stood the risk of doing shabby job, even
when directed to. He had occasion to send
to the village after a carpenter, and a
sturdy young fellow appeared with his
tools.

the cattle There are some unplaned
boards-use them. 1t is out of sight from
the house, go you need mot take time to
make it neat job. 1 will only pay you q
dollar and a half.
The Judge then went to dinner, and
coming out found the man carefully plan
ing each board. Supposing that he was
trying to make costly job of it, he or
dered him to nail them on at once just
as they were, and continued his walk.
When he returned the boards were all
planed and numbered, ready for mailing.

A DOG MIsER.

Instances OF canine economy are by no
means rare, but the account Of dog miser
is, SO far as our records extend, unique.
Dandie, the animal referred TO- was New
foundland dog, belonging to gentleman
in Edinburgh. Il frequently had money
given to it, because, besides other interest
ing signs Of sagacity. it would 60 TO the ba-
kers and buy it's own bread. But Dandie
received more money than his needs called
for, and 20 he took to boarding it. This
his master discovered in consequence OF the
dog appearing one day with breakfast
roll when it was known that no one had
given it any money. Suspicion aroused,
search was made in the room where the dog
slept. Dandie appeared quite unconcerned
until his bed was approached, when he
seized the servant by her gown and tried
to drag her away. and became so violent
that his master had to hold him.
Seyenpence-halfpenny was found hidden
in the bed. Dandie did not forego his
saving propensities even after this but he
exhibited great dislike afterward for the
servant who had discovered his hoard, and
in the future was careful to select a differ.
ent place of concealmept. Stories Of dogs
who carry money to shops in order to OBJ
tain food are quite numerous; but the fol-
lowing incident, which was communicated
to the Bristol Mercury, ip, # authentic,
probably unparalleled even in canine rec-
ords : 4 Bristol dog was allowed by s
certain butcher to receive his meat on trust,
the butcher sconng each penny worth sup
piled on a board with a piece of chalk.
One day our canine friend, observing tho
man make two maEks with tie chalk
instead Of one, seized another pieco Of
meat. and, despite all the efforts Of ths
butcher to detaln him, ran off home with
both pieces in his rnouth.-[Chambers'
