A Nassau Dog.

Nassau cor. N. Y. Times: Nassau
dogs are the most fearful and wonderful
productions of nature. They have a
wistful, hungry look about the eyes, and
an all-gone thin appearance about the
flanks that gives them an air Of feeding
on wind, and the air in dead calm.
But we have dog here on the place that
goes little ahead Of anything in the
dog line ever saw. He belongs to the
cook, and the boys say they are never
sure whether he is snake or dog, he
is so thin. He is cur of the currest
kind, black aud gray, but an affectionate
little rascal, and good watch dog, for
he barks at night on the smallest provo
cation. His name is Jack. You know
down here sponge are as plenty as ap.
pies at home. They wash dishes with
them, and use them for every imagina.
BILE purpose, SO there are always bits O
old sponge lying about. You might g
out in my back yard and pick up half I
bushel of them in ten minutes. Well
Jack eats sponges. Of course you vii
laugh at this; but ] pledge my solemn
word that went out into the yard on
day and saw Jack eating a sponge, AM
he seemed to enjoy It. No doubt hi
idea was to cram himself full of sponge
then go off somewhere and take BIZ
drink Of water, and thus swell himsel
out to q respectable, well-fed size.

Her Journey

Detroit Free Press When the doctor
came down stairs from The sick-room o.
Mrs. Marshall the whole family seemed
to have arranged themselves in the hall
to waylay him.
''HOW soon viii mamma dit Well7''
asked little Clyde, the baby.
"Can mamma come down stairs next
week2" asked Katy, the Oldest daugh-
ter and the little housekeeper.
tDO you find my wife much better2'
asked Mr.. Marshall, eagerly. He Was a
tall, grave man, pale with anxiety and
nights of watching.

were told to make no noise. Thegloomy
day wore on, and the patient slept and
was not disturbed. But that night, be-
fore they went to bed, they we're allowed
to go in and kiss their mother good night.
This privilege had been denied them
lately, and their little hearts responded
with JOY to the invitation. Mamma was
better or she could not see them. The
doctor had cured her. They would love
him for it all their iyesl
She was very pale, but smiling, and
her first words to them were:

"Will you take us with YOUR

of the beautiful country at which sh,

"How did she gol Who came for her,

"The chariot. of Israel and the horse

solemnly.

Romance Of an Ear Of Corn.


Peoria Journal; It has always been
thought that ears Of corn have an even
number Of rows, and that one with
an odd number Of rows would be an inn
possibility. in slavery times this ques-
ton was discussed, and a negro in Ken
tncky claimed that he had seen ears Of
that kind. His old master told him he
would give him his-the negro's-free-
dom for an ear with an odd number Of
rows. This was in the early spring,
butin the fall during corn gathering time,
the negro came with q sound ear Of corn
with thirteen rows. He got his free
papers. A long time afterward the old
negro said that in roasting ear time he
took a sharp knife, cut out the one row
Of grains, bound the corn together, and
knew just where to find it when gather.
ing time came.
