f. Dogs Sense of Justice,


Travelling in the south of France, Am
pere had occasion to make short stay at
roadside Inn where a roasting-jac
moved by animal power was in use. Two
dogs performed the duty of turning the
machine, working alternately. The dog
whose proper turn it was not happening
to be IN the way, the other was caught
and put on the wheel. He fatty refused,
however, to work, and neither coaxing.
threats or chastisement produced any ef-
feet. After some delay the missing dog
was found and put to the task. After
he had nearly completed the job, Am
pere, who had been struck with the affair.
proposed that the second dog be released
and the first one tried again. This was
accordingly done, and the animal SO late
ly recusant now offered no opposition,
and made the wheel revolve with hearty
good will until the roast was finished.
This experiment showed that the dogs
former reluctance was due not to idle
ness or ill-temper, but to principle. He
evidently considered that the work was
to be fairly shared between himself and
his companion, turn and turn about
This incident proves that brutes are able
to understand somewhat complicated re-
lations. Had the dog been willing to
work whenever ordered, his compliance
would have been simply attributed to
docll1ty or to habit. We find him on
the contrary obedient up to certain
point, but no further. What is this but
the idea of duty and of right? He felt
bound to work alternately with his col
league; but when expected to take two
shifts IN succession, he knew that more
than his legitimate duty was demanded,
and that his rights were consequently in
vaded. This case is quite sufficient to
prove that the sentiment of conscientious
ness crosses the boundary line between
man and the brutes. It shows that the
actions OF animals are accompanied by
acts of conscious will directed towards
the fulfllment of duty

Carelessness.
(From the N. Y. Times. I


A day or two ago hoy" was dis
patched from the Boreel Building on an
errand with sS80,000 worth of securities,
which are now missing. He had put
the package in his outer pocket, and he
IS delightfully."- uncertain whether it drop
ped out, or whether it was deity sc lift
ed from place nearly as insecure as
the pockets in ladies' jackets, which a
judge not long ago censured from his
bench as culpable incentive to crime.
On the 9Th inst. nineteen thousand
dollar bonds were dispatched from this
city in a package. On the 18th the
consignee had just learned that the
pouch containing them, with other valu-
ables, was removed from the arm of the
truck where the messenger left it hang
ing while he went elsewhere on other
business. Not long ago, when.a mail
pouch was emptied over the sorting table
IN this post Office, three million dollars
IN railroad bonds were showered over the
astonished workman. They might al
most as well have been wrapped in tissue
paper. Such events as these form sort
of financial barometer. They usually
abound during a period like the present,

nifty from any very recent sensational
robbery, and they almost form basis
for a prediction that one is soon due.
Habitues of Wall-street see nothing
strange in the way business is done
there. But to casual visitor bonds,
notes, checks, drafts, and various other
such delicious bits of paper seem literal
ly to fly all over the place, and the wonder
seems rather that the losses are so few
than that they do now and then startle
bankers and brokers into brief precau-
ton. In London it would seem that a
similar loose method of doing business is
the custom, for a clever thief recently
obtained some e15, 900 worth of securi-
ties by the simple process of asking for
them. He knew that they were to be
delivered on that day, and, little before
the authorized messenger came, applied
for them with the glib statement that
"they had to be SEPT to the West End,
and a check would follow in due course. -
The clerk handed them over. The Incl
dent is even less remarkable than the
course of business disclosed by it. Only
poor people could be guilty of such care
lessness. The rich have better habits.

IceIandic Scenery.
ladies in Iceland.-Miss Oswald

The glory of Iceland is it's coloring.
With considerable experience of the fin
est scenery in Europe, [ could not but
feel that even Switzerland, unless per-
haps above the constant snow-line, is
not so clear and glittering; Italy, with a
stronger light, has not its peculiarpurity;
and, Scotland after it, seems toned down
with wet sponge. The forms of Ice
landic scenery are, however, more curl
GUS than beautiful, though they had for
me weird fascination. There is often
great width Of contour, the hills in long,
hammocked masses, with perhaps a vol
canic cone suddenly breaking the out
line; there is o sort of disconnected, I'M
combined effect about the landscape,
easy to perceive, but difficult 10 describe.
Trees would not suit it; and its wistful,
melancholy grandeur is partly, no doubt,
owing to the absence everywhere OF enclo-
suress, square fields, roads-aQ lines in
deed, save those curves which nature new
er draws amiss. The road, when there is
one, is generally mere product of the
hoofs of hundred generations of ponies
sometimes worn into deep ditch or hol-
low way, sometimes branching into q
dozen little tracks, just large enough for
their small feet; and it needs some prac-
tice to choose the best line 1t is merry
riding in the pure light aiA the loose
ponies rattle on before; constantly one or
another strays off after some fancy of its
own, and has to be chased back by the
drivers, who, dashing up and down,
cracking their whips and shouting, adj
juring the ponies by name to keep the
path or beware of the dogs, make the
cavalcade lively; and the way must be
bad indeed to reduce it to a walking
pace, which always causes the loose pom
les to stray more. We usually rode at a
steady trot, but with many little halts,
now to adjust a box, now to mend
rope, or, perhaps, to bait our little
steeds on some choice bits of grass.

Tenacious of Life.

1t is ordinarily supposed that wound
in the heart is Immediately fatal: but
after Tom Adams, prominent min
ing operator of Wood River, U. T.,
had received alarge -sized bullet through
that organ from a pistol in the hands OF
Frank Brown, he knocked his adversary
down and beat him severely. Third
parties finally interfering, Adams
walked off to a drug store, where he
suddenly fell dead. 1t was found that
the bullet completely pierced his heart.
His murder is described as an unusually
sad occurrence for one of that kind, be-
cause he had closed large mining tran
saction, and with the profits was about
to start to Chicago to Chicago to meet
his wife, from whom be had been sep
arated.

AN AUTOGRAPH.
~ JOHN G. WHITTIER.

I write my name as one
On sands by waves o'errun,
or Winters frosted pane
Traces record vain.
0biivion's darkness claims
Wiser and better names,
And well my own may pass
AS from the strand or glass.
Wash on, o waves of time
Melt moons the frosty rhine
Welcome the shadow vast,
The silence that shall last.
When / and all who know
And love me vanish so.
What harm to them or me
VIII the lost memory be?
If any words of mine, .t4t =. IS b.
Through right of life divine,
Remain, what matters it
Whose hand the message writ .-
Why should the crowner's quest
Sit on my worst or best?
Why should the Snowman claim
The poor ghost of my name
Yet. as when dies a sound
Its spectre fingers round,
HAPPY nay spent life will
Leave sonae faint echo still.
A whisper giving breath
OF praise or blame to death,
Soothing or saddening such
As loved the living much.
Therefore with yearnings vain
And fond I still would fain
kindly Judgment seek,
sender thought bespeak.
And, while my words are read,
Let this at least be said:
'tWhate'er his life's defeatures,
He loved his fellow creatures.
aft, of the Laws stone table,
To hold he scarce was able
The first great precept fast,
He kept for man the last.
s. Through mortal lapse and dullness
What lacks the Eternal FuIlness,
If stin our weakness can
Love Him in loving man?
cage brought him no despairing
Of the worlds future faring;
In human nature still
He found more good than i'll.
81 To all Who dumbly suffered,
His tongue and pen he offered;
His life was not his own,
Nor lived for self alone.
- He loved the scholars quiet,
Yet, not interrupted by it.
Or poets dream of beauty,

He sought the good of many,
Yet knew both sin and folly
May God forgive him wholly"
