Brute Humanity.

Once IN the city Of Vienna, there W1s
dread Of hydrophobia, and orders were gwen
70 massacre all the dsGs Which were found
unclaimed o. uncollared Il the city or sub
urbs. Men were employed for this purpose,
and they generally carried . s0ort stick,
which they flung at the poor prescribed an
imal with such certain aim a. either to kill,
o. maic, It mortally, at one blow.
It happened one dag that close 70 The edge
q the river, near the .Ferdinand's Brucke,
one Of these men flung his stick 1t .
wretched dog, but with such bed ann that
Il fell into the river. Tho poor animal, fol-
lowing his instinct, Or his teaching, Immedi-
ately plunged in. redeemed The stick, and
laad it at the feetof it, owner, who. snatch
ing it up dashed out the creature's brains.
Which was the brutel
no may surmise Whist the Athenians
would have done 70 such man from the
fact that they banished the Judge Of tho
Areopogus, because he flung away the bird
which sought shelter in his bosom.
There are men in whom is no spark of
gratitude or generosity. There are others
who appreciate benefits received and are
happy in making grateful acknowledgment.
Rev. J. W. Asheman, one Of the most elo-
luent divines OF Detroit, Mich, writes
