His RIg Friend.

A crowd gathered on a wharf in San
Francisco had an opportunity 70 see a dog
rescue another dog from drowning and go
about his work as inteIli-ently as if he
had been the trained officer Of hu-1aus
society.
A small terrier dog fell from the -tr.uzer
Of the wharf into the bay. He wan
around for some time in a circle and many
plans were suggested for his rescue, but
none of them proved practical The little
creature seemed doomed 10 a watery
grave, for he was fast becoming ex-
hausted The female portion Of the audi
ence was much exercised and gave many
expressions of pity.
Just at the moment that all hopes Of
saving the terrier were given uu ..se bark
Of dog in the crowd attracted a.teution
and there appeared upon the struzer in
front of the wharf large Newfoundland.
He saw the little fellow in the water.
and with @ low wall he ran To and fro
along the wharf for a moment or two. and
then, 10 the surprise of everyone present,
he sprauE INTO the water and at once

Selling him by the neck with bis reeth,
and after swimming about for some time.
he sighted the new sea-wau extension.
about a hundred yards distant, for which
he headed
Upon landing his burden on terra fIrna,
the Newfoundland gave two or three
sharp barks and seemed TO be nrrld OF
what he had done. Il was some time be-
fore the terrier was able to Gain strength
TO walk away.
One of the witnesses Of she strange
sight, Patting the Newfoundland dog,
said; This dog Is mine. and / would not

notice caught my eve:

The wounded man did not die. but

learned by inquiry at the hospital some
two months later.
The affair dropped out of the papers,
and heard nothing of Ned for four OF

lowing letter, which explains itself:

BY ANNE WALL.
I'm up with the lark in the morning,
And out in the -sprinkled grass
Entoying the pure, airy freshness,
And health-laden breezes that pass.
watch the east glowing and Frightening;
The sun shows himself IN the sky.
And hear the birds singing and chirping
In the wild plum thickets close by.
see the corn waving and uodding.
As though it would welcome the light.
When the bright blue arch Of the heavens
Throws of the dark curtains Of night
list TO the voices Of morning.
And pleasant to me is the call
OF the winds, the brook and the wild birds
And peace folds her wings over all.
feel my whole nature expanding,
Ny heart brimming over with praise,
For the peaceful delights Of the country,
And heart rest find IN its ways.
For sweet are the voices Of nature.
Whispering through woodland and field,
And I feel there Is much of divineness
In pure country places revealed.
Some sigh for the charms Of the citI
Its hurry and 'wildering glare,
But give me the charms Of the country,
There's life in its sunshine and air.

Worth considering and worthy of exami-
nation by all who have any regards to
saving money. People will buy where
they can get the best goods for the least
money. 1t is human nature to do so.
Sharp buyers are always on the alert,
and once captured the masses soon
follow. The immense thrOng which con-
tinually crowded our store the past week
was evidence of this fact. The unusual
opportunity for a saving almost One-half
of the purchasers money, which the hou Sc
of A. r. Althayer Il co. are now Offering,
is apparent to every thinking mind. The
reason why we can save you so much
money is that in few months we will
remove to the building now in course Of
erection on corner Broughton and Bull
streets. 1t will be to our advantage TO
move as little of our stock as possible.
Having this in view, and knowing the
only way to reduce the enormous stock
which our house carries will be TO make
prices so low that you viii buy at once,
even if you have no Immediate use for the
goods. This is food for thought. Do you
intend purchasing anything in the mjlli-
merry line? II so, buy now. No finer
assortment, no stock more carefully
selected, no richer or more elegant styles,
combined with the most artistic work
manship, ever shown in the South. Prices
wo uld not convey to you how cheap goods
are really sold. Goods have no value with
us, the only question we consider is how
fast we can reduce our stock. White and
Black Plumes at less than One-fourth
value. They are such as we used to sell
at three times the prices we are Offering
them now. We are certainly going to
sell them for One-Jhird less than our
former price. Why such fail? This is
what Is called a flower season, and plumes
are at a discount. We purchased these
plumes from an importer at sacrifice,
intending TO put them aside until next
season, when they will be in style again.
Now we are going 20 move, and we are
going 10 move the plumps II low prices
Will do so. All sorts Of lace caps, two or
( three hundred styles, for half yalue-all

/ Gloves something unusual at this season
