His early years, as described in his moth

aeter in maturer life. For facts especiallv
of natural history. he had from childhood a
most tenacious memory. At four years of
age he began collecting specimens, and at
seven be commenced a journal. Earlier than
this, at two and a half years of age, che
would have gone through all the natural his
tory books in the Radcliffe Library without
making an error in INSTALLING parrot, a
duck. a king6sher. an owl or a vulture."
When he was four years old clergyman
brought to DR.. auckland, from a considera-
bic distance, some "very curious fossils"
They were shown to the child, who, not yet
able to speak plainly, said, 'sThey are the
veItebre Of an ichthyosaurus" At three
years of age his mother could get him to
learn nothing by rote. His mind was always
at Work on what he saw, and he was very i'm
patient of doing that which was not manifest
to his senses, yet he was not considered pre-
mature. He excelled in apparently strong
reasoning powers, and a most tenacious men,
DRY as 70 facts. He was always asking ques-
tons, and never forgot the answers he
received il they were such as he could COM
preheDd- And he was al ways wanting to see
every thing done, or to know how it was done T;
and was never happy unless he could see the
relation between cause and effect.
At Winchester, he was known as "a boy
utterly indifferent to personal appearance,
but good-tempered and eccentric, with a
small museum in his sleeve or cupboard an

under adverse circumstances" So we may
follow him during his four years at this
school, extracting the poison-fangs from
adders, dIssecting cats, and even successfully
attempting the eye OF the warden's dead

and his uniform amiability and obligingness,
he became the most popular boy in the school.
Fond of school work he was not, but he did

Carlo.

lEfie Squier, in ct. Nicholas for March
How well we all remember CarlOl He was
a dear old dog, and belonged to Mr.. Rhodes
the constable Of our town.
Carlo always made point Of attending all
the fires in the town. He could mount lad
der like a fireman, and well do L recollect
the last of his adventures.
1t was toward evening on holiday, and
few people were in the place. most of the
citizens Of the town were absent on popu-
lar excursion.
/ remember feeling sadly disappointed at
having to miss the excursion myself. At
about five o'clock the bells in the churches
began TO ring very loud and fast; and Carlo,
who had been lazily sleeping and watching
the place, started up, and, with two or three
expressive grOwls that summoned his mast er
ran with all speed to the fire.
The dog was very busy and intelligent all
the time, dragging down the stairs, with
great speed and care, things of every descrip-
ton.
AS the last house was burning, the cry of
a child was heard in the upper story.
OF course it was out of the question for
any one to get I'D and expect TO come back (;
but Carlo could take in the situation at a
glance. Knowing in his dog mind that the
first stories were already in a blaze, he leaped
up the ladder and jumped through the win
dow. The FIRE and smoke soon drove him
beck, but his master, who appeared at that
moment, shouted to him to go in, and the
people cheered. Whether he understood or
not, he again entered the window, and when
all hope of his return had been given up, a
loud shout announced his arrival. He was
terribly burned, and fell before he reached
the ground; still holding with wonderful
frmness little babe.
The child did not prove to be greatly
harmed; but Carlos injuries were fatal. The
brave dog received every care, but he died
the next day.
