A Dog That Understands
Boston Record.

There is a Newfoundland dog OF the
historians acquaintance, Lon by
name, who gives daily proof of his
comprehension Of what is SAID 10 him.
a lady called on his mistress the other
day. During her call Lion came in
rather slyly, lay down on the parlor
carpet, and went TO sleep. The con-
yersation ran on, and the visitor said
finally:
What handsome Newfoundland
you havew
Lion opened one eye. YES" said
his mistress, he is very good dog,
and takes excellent care of the child
rep."
Lion opened the other eye and
waved his tail complacently to and fro
along the carpet.
When the baby goes out he always
goes with her, and 1 feel perfectly
sure then that 40 harm can come to
her" his mistress went on.
Lions tail thumped up and down
violently on the carpet.
And he is SO gentle to them all,
and such playmate and companion
to them. that we would not take a
thousand dollars for him"
Lions tail now went up and down,
to and fro, and round and round with
great and undlsguised glee.
But, said his mistress, Lion has
one serious fault"
Total subsistence of Lions tail, to
gether with the appeara ace of an ex
preston of great concern on his face.
He will come in here with his
dirty feet and lie down on the carpet,
when I have told him time and again
that he mustn't do it"
Here Lion arose with an air of the
utmost detection and humiliation anG
sluuk cut of the room, with his lately
exuberant tail totally crestfallen.

Transporting Ships by Railway.

2NeW 1Ork Times.
The world will soon know whether
or not loaded ships can be safely and
pro6tably lifted out of their element
and carried across an isthmus upon a
railway. Vessels plying between the
Gulf of St Lawrence and the ports of
Our Northeastern seaboard are now
compelled, OF course, to go around
the peninsula OF Nova Scotia. About
800 miles would be saved If they could
use canal across the narrow neck
that connects that peninsula with the
mainland of New Brunswick. It
was once proposed that a
canal shoul3 be made there, but
now ship ilway is 10 be built
on the line OF the proposed waterway.
Work has already been begun upon
this railway, and 1t will be carried on
by an English company whose presi
dent is Lord Brabourne, and whose
chief engineer is John Fowler, who
built the Underground railroad. 1t
may be that Captain Eads will fad
by and by in the Dominion the strong
est of arguments 10 support his pro-
iect for an interoceanic ship railway
on the Isthuas of Tehuantepec.

THE BACHELORS soLILoQUY.

To be- or not to be, that is the question
Whether tits better in the main, to suffer
The slight discomforts OF unmarried fortune
Or TO take arms against this life OF bubbles,
And by proposing, end theml A wifel to fiirt
No more; and, by a wife, to say we end
The heartache and the thousand nervous shocks
That bachelors are heir to. IT'S consumma-
ton
Devoutly to be wished Totry to keep
Accounts! perchance outrun-aye, there's tne
rub,
For In that dream of bliss what bliss may come,
Which now we shuttle off with little toll,
But then must pay. There's the prospect
That makes men shy to venture on wife;
For who would bear the quick inroads OF time,
The comic song, the fast mans company,
The pangs Of secret love, the coquette's play,
The solitary lodging wherein burns
The impatient spirit at its lonely fate,
But that the dread of something past jest
That undiscovered station, from hose bourne
No bachelor returns, muzzles the will,
And make us rather bear the ills we have
Than fly TO others we know not Of;
Thus caution does make towards OF us ALL
And in a state of weak irresolution,
Our Fix'd intentions fall and come to naught,
While enterprising girls with wit and beauty,
Thus on our guard to attract us yainly try,
And languish In detection
