Ned, the Children's Dog.

Everybody in Midway, Ken, knows
old Ned, the children's dog. He for
merly belonged to the late Mrs. Mar
garet Burford, but as there were no chill
dren at her house he came to town, and
took up his abode at Mr.. S. ~ Rogers
He goes to school with the children every
morning and remains there all day
When they 90 out to play he goes, too,
and is quite expert at catching ball /;
indeed, IN a game, he takes the place of
a child. When the bell rings he is the
first to run into the school-house, and
when the classes are called up to recite
he takes his place in line at the foot
After the child next above him has re-
cited, he answers the next question by an
intelligent bark and bow Of the head.
Should a question be missed by the child
at the foot of the class and passed to the
next by the teacher, Nee" will answer
it in his own peculiar way. Spelling
seems to be his favorite branch Of stu
dy, his answers in that being exceedingly
quick and vigorous. Although he turns
the children down after his fashion, ne
never goes above them He will fight
for any Of the pupils, as well as teachers
and could not be induced to stay where
there are no.children.

A Model Bow

Sir" said lad coming down to one
of the wharves in Boston, and addressing
a well-known merchant, Sir, have you
any berth on your ship I want to earn
something"
What can you do?' asked the gen
tleman.
"I can try my best to do whatever !
am put to do, answered the boy.
what have you done p
Il have sawed and split all mothers
wood for nigh on two years"
What have you not done?' asked
the gentleman, who was queer sort Of
a questioner.
" Well, sir, answered the boy, after a
moments pause, have not whispered
in school once for a whole year"
THAT'S enough, said the gentleman
you may ship aboard this vessel, and |
hope to see you the master Of her some
day. A boy who can master a wood-pile
and bride his tongue must be made Of
good stuff. '-Southeyn Churchnaan.

A Little Bows Troubles.

l thought when learned my letters
That all of my troubles were done,
But find myself much mistaken
They only have just begun.
Learning to read was awful,
But not like learning to write;
I'd be sorry to have you tell it,
But my copy-book is sight
The ink gets over my fingers;
The pen cuts all sorts of shines.
And won't do at all as / bid 1t;
The letters won't stay on the lines,
But 90 up and down and all over,
AS though they were dancing jig
They are there in all shapes and sizes,
Medium, little, and big.
