A Clever Pony.
The following story is told Of a pony

The following story is told Of apony:
1.-The master, a clergyman residing
in lonely neighborhood, was, going
with the pony. a retriever. and
Dachshund, while obeying. a; call to
visit sick parishioner' in the. night,
past a shepherds cottage where
fierce dog was kept. This dog, having
got loose, made an attack on the party,
trying the retriever first and then the
Dachshund. The pony became fright
ened, and the master dismounted,
when the dog turned. upon. him., The
affair became very serious, for the eler-
gyman; the Dachshund had been put
out of the combat, the retriever had
hid behind the hedge, and he had to
keep up the fight alone, with no other
weapon than riding-whip. Then he
heard scampering, and the next mo-
ment the faithful pony rushed UP and
darted so suddenly between the com.
batants that the dog turned tail and
fled, evidently thinking the pony to be
a larger and dangerous edition of him
self. The gallant little fellow pursued
the cur until he was fairly chased back
to the cottage door. Then he returned,
quite docile, to his master; and the
friendly quartette were able to con-
tinue their way in peace and safety
