A CANADIAN DOG SToRY.-A lad was
crossing the fields in the country, some
distance from any dwelling, when he
was set tonb by large and fierce dog belong
ing to the gentleman whose land he was
crossing. The lad was alarmed and ran for
his life. He struck into the piece of
wood, and the dog gained on him, when
he looked around to see how near the
creature was, and fell over a stone he
pitched over a precipice and broke his
leg. Unable tomovG, and at the mercy of
the BEST, the poor fellow saw the dog
coming down upon him, and expected to
be siezed and torn, when to his surprise,
the dog came near, and perceiving the
boy was hurt, instantly wheeled about
and went for that aid which he could
not render himself There was no one
within reach of the child's voice. and he
must have persisted there where he lay,
or drag his broken limb along
and distroy it so as TO render amputa-
ton necessary, if the dog had not
brought help. The dog went off to the
nearest house and barked for help
not receiving attention, he made another
visit of sympathy to the boy, and then
to the house and made such demostra-
ton of anxiety that the family followed
him to the place where the child lay

The Money Question.

Senator Jos. 4. Brown. Of Georgia,
during the last session OF congress.
made some remarks upon the money
loucstion which will bear reproduce
ton. He said:
"Contract. the currency one half,
and the man who contracted debts
before that time has to work two
days to pay his debt instead of one.
It is said 10y some that there is plenty
of money now, and we are pointed
to the fact that in all the great
centers there is abundance of it. and
to the additional fact that it loans
at a very low rate Of interest. two
per cent. per annum, on call loans.
Out of their own mouths do we con.
yict these gentlemen, for a plethora
OF money at the great centers is
positive proof Of scarcity every.
where else; there being bat just go
much altogether in the whole coun'
try, it is perforce true that the more
there is at the centers the less there
is elsewhere, and this is exactly the
trouble. Can anyone deny the pres
cnt contracted state Of the circula.
ton at this time? The coinage Of
silver has hardly supplied the place
made vacant by the retirement oil
national bank notes, and there is on
the whole less money now than sew
eral years ago. Still our population
has been increasing three per cent.
per annum, and consequently the
uses Of money in the same proper
ton.
