AN EVEN BALANCE.

An interesting and profitable question
for a juvenile debating society is sugges-
ted by two dispatches in the papers. In
one we read that a terrier saved the life
of 2 small child that tried to crawl out of
window, 10y holding to the baby S skirts
with it's teeth. In another an account is
given of the impending death of a man
from hydrophobia. Some months ago
he separated two fighting dogs, and was
slightly bitten. The wound soon healed.
and he thought no more of it till he was
taken sick. The question. stated i'll that
indefinite and unrhe .orical from which
is the glory of such societies as we have
mentioned, would be. is the dog a
greater blessing than evil to mankind?'
The good dog has had his due need Of
praise. Literature is full of him. and
children the world over are electrified by
accounts of the little boy who fell into
the water and was rescued by his faithful
brute companion. Every heroic canine
act is bazoned forth at length and the
account put into Sunday school papers.
but the deaths from hydrnph"bia get
only line i'll the daily paper and are
forgotten. Perhaps it is because they
are so common. We venture to say
there are four deaths from hydrophoba
to one case of life saved by a dog. 1t is
noteworthy than in this case, as i'll hun
dreds of others, the bite was not that of a
dog suffering from rabies
