In Bucks county is farmer who has
fine, large shepherd dog. The farm
or also has a goat and this latter ami
NAL has often rendered valuable as
sistauce to the shepherd dog in keep
ing other dogs away from the sheep.
Before the goas came parties Of dogs
used to call on the sheep and while
two of the mutton-hungry dogs would
engage the attention of the shepherd
dog The other dogs would 60 for sheep.
But the goat changed all that. Not
a cur in thc~ ncighborhood would dare
to attack the goat, and the farmer
sheep have enjoyed an unusual degree
of protection.
A few days &go the dog disappeared.
The farmer q dn't worry himself much,
for he thought the goat was still at
hand. But when he found tho goat
was gone he became alarmed for the
safety of his sheep and search was in
stituted
The roads of the neghborhood were
explored and people were asked if they
had seen a stray shepherd dog or u
stray goat Most of them had seen
neither, Nobody had seen either alone.
Along one road every tol-gate or coun-
try store reported that a dog and goat
had been seen jouneying together in
the most fraternal manner One OF
two people had tried they said they
had seen somebody else try-to steal
the dog, but the goat had impressed
them very strongly with the idea that
they must steal him, too. The queer
pair were insoparabIc. In the course
of a week or ten days they were found
in barn on a farm some six miles dis
tant where they were apparently
happy and contentcd together The
dog was a handsome one and an effort
was made TO bring him home alone,
but he would not come without his
companion The goat had to be al
lowed to come home, too

bY acute pain on by chronic insomnia.
The latter is perhaps the most danger
Gus The pain, if it last for weeks,
forces recourse TO the doctor before

lessness is a more persistent, and to
most people q much less alarming
thing; and it is moreover one with
which the doctors can seldom deal save
through the very agents Of mischief.
Neuralgia. relieved for a time b chic
reform or morphiJ, may be cured by
guiuine; sleeplcssness admits of hardly
any cure but such complete change Of
life as is rarely possible, at least to its
working victims. Aud the narcotist

sleeplessness is all that its remuneration
would involve.

dipsomania he can do, if not without
drink, yet without intoxicating quanti-

narcotist who attempts to 90 for a
whole day without his accustomed dose
suffers in u hours far more cruelty
than the drunkard deprived of alcohol

The Same Old Fool Joke.

A young lady OF Olneyville had been
sitting in /. chair and arose to get
something, and as she attempted to re-
gain her seat young friend quickly
withdrew the chair, and allowed her to
sink heavily to the floor. The next day
she was taken ill, and physician was
summoned, and for two months he has
been applying bandages, plasters, etc,
to save the young lady, who is IS years
of age from permanent curvature of the
spine. As it was her body became
bent, and gave her friends great alarm.
1t will be five years before all danger
of spinal disease will be removed. The
fall caused the end of the spine to be

TRUE TO THE LAST.

Quite recently the Canadian papers re-
ported an anecdOta of canine fidelity
which, had 1t been told of Roman Cath
Ollie soldier or HiAdO0 nurse, would
have been bruited throughout the civil
lied world a. an instance of humanity's
supremest devotion to duty. The story
as told to US Is that when nearing Mon
treal the snglne-driver of train saw a
great dog standing ON tho track and
barking furiOusly. The driver blew his
whistle, yet the hound did not bulge,
but crouching low was struck by the To-
connective and killed. Some pieces of
white muslin on the engine attracted
drivers notice; hs stopped the train and
went back. Beside the dead dog was a
dead child, which. it is supposed, had
wandered on the track and had gone TO
sleep. The poor, watchful guardian had
given it's signal for the train to stop; but
unheeded. had died at its post, victim
to duty.-Chambe Journal.
WHY HE WOULDN'T EAT.
1t is related by Professor Bell that
when a friend Of his was travelling
abroad he one morning took out his
purse to see il it contained sufficient
change for a days jaunt he proposed
making. He departed from his lodgings,
leaving a trusted dog behind. When he
dined he took out his purse to pay. and
found that he had lost gold coin from
1t. On returning home in tho evening
his servant informed him that the dog
seemed to be very ill, as they could not
induce it to eat anything. He went at
once to his fav0rite, and as soon as he
entered tho room the faithful creature
ran to him, deposited the gold coin at
his feet and then devoured the food
placed for 1t with great eagerness. The
truth was that this gentleman had drop
ped the coin in the morning; tho dog had
picked 1t up and kept it in his mouth,
fearing even to eat lest it should lose its
masters property before an opportunity
offered to restore it.-Chdmber's Jour
nal.

hung off the last bob. The road was
