A SHREWD MASTlFF.
Foregoing, an Old Grudgc to Gain an ALLY
in a Eight

in a Fight.
A gentleman in the County of Fife
possessed a fine mastiff, which he was
in the practice of sending every morn
ing with a basket in his teeth to a
neighboring village, with a letter adj
dressed to his tradesman, who ex-
ecuted the commission contained in the
note, and returned the basket filled
with provisions by the faithful mcssen-
ger. As Pompey was morning
leaving the village, his basket laden
with warm rolls and a nice leg of NUT
ton, he was set upon by a host of little
ours, who, after a desperate engage
ment, forced him to seek his safety IN
ignoble flight, leaving the well-cou-
tested basket a prey to his victors.
But he was too proud to go home.
Now, Pompey had long been the
mortal foe of Caesar, a hero of the
same race, attached to a neighboring
gentleman. Many a bloody encounter
increased their deadly hate; yetvictorv
still remained i'll suspense. On the
morning of the defeat Of Polnpey that
hero was seen taking his way to Cnsar's
abode. Caesar appeared on the law..,
eager to meet his foe, when, to 1l,e
amazement OF the spectators, Pom
pey, as he approached his rival, held
out ar olive branch, by every means in
his power imploring Il reconciliation.
Caesar met his advance. From that
moment their animosity ceased. Pom
pe:y had previously provided for his
friend a feast OF carrion. After a
hearty repast, he led him against the
assembled host of little ours. and be.
fore thechampions left the village every
Toe a bit the dust. After many mu-
tual congratulations, no doubt, and ex.
changing VOWS OF eternal friendship.
the %conquerors separated, and Pom
pey now returned in triumph to his
masters house.-~Dublin Irish Times.

H MAN OF ROSS.
An English Gentleman Whose Hospitality
Made Him Famous.

Ha H..
Alexander Pope was a noted satirist.
But he one laid aside his sarcastic pen
to praise all English gentleman, who,
on five hundred pounds a year, built a
church, endowed hospitals, and was
buried with ono monument, inscription,
stone," to mark his remains. Readers
Of the poet can easily recall the poem
beginning with :.
"But all our praises why should lords en-.
gross?
Rise, honest muse! and sing the Man OF
Ross"
The man was John Kyrle, who was
noted, among therthings forhis singu-
lar hospitality. He kept open house on
two days in the week, the market-day
and Sunday. On the Lords day. re-
Numbering the words of the Master, he
feasted the poor of the parish, and Oft
en- sent them home loaded with broken
meat, the fragments of the feast, so
that nothing might be wasted.
On the market day, he had the neigh
boring farmers to dine with him.. on
roast goose, which, in the spirit of old
fashioned hospitality, he insisted upon
carving for his guests.
These dinner-parties became the
scene of an arbitration court, at which
the s.Man of Ross settled such dis
putes as the neighbors had with each
other. Such vas their love for him
personally, and respect for his judg-
ment, that his decisions were usually
final.
Pope alludes to this practice and to
the ''Man's" attention to the sick, in the
following lines:
"Is any sick? The Man of Ross relieves.
Prescribes, attends, the medicine makes and
gives.
Is there a variance? enter but his door,
Baked are the courts, and contest is no
more.
Despairing quacks with curses fed the place,
And vile attorneys, now a useless race"
On Christmas he enabled the poor of
the town to celebrate the day with
their families, by giving them q liberal
allowance of provisions and money.
Liberal and hospitable to others, he
was, in his personal expenses, the most
frugal of men. 1t was, in truth, ais
frugality which enabled him to do SO
much good to the poor and so many
kindness to his neighbors. "For this
man possessed-fve hundred pounds a
year.
Abiding to the fact thar no monu-
ment marks his resting-place, the poet
says:
.Who builds a church to God, and not II
fame,
Will never nark The marble with his namas
