A Faithful Maii-Carrier.

Dogs have been put to all sorts OF
uses by man.. Not only do they guard
our houses and keep away thieves. but
they hunt game for people to shoot. and
go after it when it falls; they churn tho
butter and lead the blind; they take
care of the babies, and drag us out Of
the water when we are so careless as to
fall in. In more ways than can tell
they work for us. and delight to do it.
That's the pleasant thing about their
service-they do not work for pay.
Not all the gold in California would
have feathers weight with one of
them; but kind words. gentle treat
ment, and now and then bone, bind
dog to his master for life and in
death. ~. s tsrzs
We are not slow to avail ourselves
of this most willing servant, and one
would think we had found out all the
uses to which dog can be put, but a
little m ming camp in California has
discovered new thing for him to do
to carry letters.
The place is hardly big enough to
have name, and of course can not
think OF having post-office: but the
few miners there want their letters just
as badly as though they lived in New
York City itself They could not find
a man to bring them three miles from
the nearest post-office. for every man in
camp wants to dig for gold, SO they
have taught dog to do it. Dorsey is
the name Of the faithful fellow, and he
runs his three miles every day. from
Calico. where the stage stops, to Bis
marck, the camp, in twenty minutes.

THE WOODLAND GRAVE.

No sacred monumental urn,
Nor Wanted funereal praise,
Here lures the passer-by to turn
With mute and reverential gaze
No cypress throws quaint shadows here
Upon some sculptured marble tomb,
Where rests some one to memory dear,
Amidst the churchyard's solemn gloom.
But IN some unfreguented glade,
Where fragrant flowers bloom ana die,
And where beneath the woods deep shade,
In wild profusion ferns do lie.
where bluebells, with the golden furze,
The wild-rose and the daf0dil,
With ivy moss and countless burrs,
Lie scattered DER the verdant hill;
Beside some cool seQuestered stream,
Shaded from the stormy weather,
where the suns last lingering CLEAN
Fades upon the mountain heather
There. where the grass is soft and green,
With meadow-sweet and cowslips, too,
And fairest snowdrops may be seen
Weeping in the morning dew;
And where the skylark's evening song
Comes floating on the perfumed breeze,
And woodland music. all day long,
Lingers In the murmuring trees
Just there, beneath that laurers shade,
Where moss and ivy deck the ground,
The truest, kindest friend is laid
My noble, faithful, trusty hound.

Is we have a very comfortable house, and

there has been a craze for displaying the
furniture of a room in Cdl shapes. Instead
Of putting bureau snugly up in corner,
| like it ought to be, they put it crossways.

that when it was necessary to go from ore

either have to climb over the bed or crawl
under the table. l chose the latter method,

trunk setting very nearly across one corner
and fianked on either side by chair. The
pictures were oddly hung, and, altogether,
the room presented disorderly appearance
to my eyes. l knew the parade would
take place pretty soon, and L resolved ia
take revenge. / Immediately took the
mattress and quilts off the bed and turned

exquisite story that Richard Grant
White used to tell so mangled by a
newspaper the other day that l was
moved to do it justice by printing my
recollection of it. 1t was told to show
the native courtesy of ell-bred Amer

Washington was in New England he
was entertained at dinner by country
gentleman who lived comfortably but
quietly IN his old-fashioned home far
from town. When the General rose to
go the little daughter of the host. not
yet in her teens, opened the door for
him. As he passed out in his stately
