GOntentinent And Sorrow,

teams halted to give the artist chance,
and directly the plato was made. Every.
body rushed forward when it was rcady
for inspection, and the Old man was one
of the first. AS the plate was held up
he giggled and tickled, and finally burst
into loud laugh. Ho had lodged
around the corner of tho house and his
full figure was revealed behind the
family.
"Woll do you represent in that atti-

"What, I reckon that's pretty good

And. the artist took the festive old

a Century Ago.

Cloth had become the usual material
| or tho coat, with black satin breech es.
Top-b6ots and round hats wore worn in
tho morning, with the hair undressed;
but silk stockings and buckles, with
three cornered cooked hats, hair powder,
and swords, were worn upon occasions
of ceremony. But swords we're not SO
generally worn in full dress as they had
been ton years previously. PIanche
observes, in his "History of British Cos,
tume," that about tho year 1778 gold
laood hats had become fashionable
again; because the press gangs were
particularly busy in that year for the
Royal Navy, and the gold-lace was sup
posed to impart military or distin-
guished air. The Peers still habitually
wore their scarlet and ermincd robes in
the House Of Lords. In tho Commons
it was customary for the members OF
the Government to appear in full dress,
bag-wigs, buckles, and swords. Jesse
observes that Charles James Fox and his
party, who had been accustomed to
dress in the 'acgttgie style which had
como into vogue, created much amuse
ment when they came into power in
1882, and appeared, in the House In all
the stiffness of the full dress.

Silent and dim anu mystic still,

Mocking my power, though at my will
The form before its PROV Is curled,
Or calm 1t lies, with canvas furled.

A Dog Liked Cats.

Poodles are, in some respects, the
most intelligent of all species of dogs.
This is the reason why the performing
dogs who are taught to do all sorts of
curious tricks are almost always pood-
les. There was lady who owned
very large poodle which was very fond
of walking with her. Every day at
about ten o'clock he would find the
articles of dress that he thought she
ought to wear out of doors. and would
bring them to her, and bark loudly un-
til she would put them on. He always
insisted that she should wear rubber
overshoes, no matter what the weather
might be, but he never brought her an
umbrella except when it raincd. 1t
was very nice in him to wait on his mis-
tress; but sometimes, when he would
drag her best bonnet by one string down
stairs and through the whole house
until he found her, she would not
remember to thank him as heartily as
he imagined that he deserved.
Unlike most dogs, this poodle liked
cats. He had intelligence enough to
perceive that cats had their uses, and
that it was much better to use them
than to waste them recklessly by killing
them. In the family where ne lived
there were at one time two
large cats. Now the poodle
was not allowed to wear any
wool except on his head, fore-q quarters,
tail and legs, and the consequence was
that in the winter he suffered from the
cold. He therefore made friends with
the cats by giving them scraps of his
dinner, and so induced them to come
and lie down by him when he wanted a
nap. With one cat on each side OF
him he was quite warm and comfort.
BILE, and when the cats showed signs OF
wakefulness he would put them to
sleep by licking their fur with his
rough tongue.
The two cats finally died or ran away
and small kitten took their place
The dog did not think it worth while
to waste bones on the kitten, as she
was weak, foolish little beast, who
fancied that she must do whatever the
poodle wanted. When he felt sleepy
he would 90 into the kitchen and fine
his kitten. Picking her up in hi.
mouth. he would walk slowly through
the house until he found nice sunny
spot on soft carpet, when he would
lie down, placing the kitten close t.
him. If any one called him while he wa
walking about with the kitten in hi
mouth, he would throw her away will
toss of the head, never caring WHERE
she might land. This rough treatment
together with the fact that he woult
sometimes pick the kitten up by tn
tail or head and carry her for severa
, minutes in most trying position
proved too much for the meek littl
animals constitution, and one day. d
his great disappointment, the dog foun'
) her dead, and so cold that she was n
, longer of the slightest use to him.
, 1t is great pity that other dogs hav
, not discovered that cats can be put I
= good use il dogs only take little pain
, TO win their friendship and develo
, their useful qualities. But dogs are to
often reckless and thoughtless, and pre-
0 fer to waste valuable cats in order
: enjoy for few moments the pleasure
: of the chase. --Haypers Young Pcopt
