OLD JACKS DEATH.
A True Dog sto-y Which Is rs Poetic 81
1t Is Pathetic.

A True Dog sto:y Which Is Rs Poetic ~
1t Is Pathetic.
Rare as animals suicides must be, there
are circumstances under which they may
be both poetic and pathetic. Some years
ago u friend OF the Boston Transcript
Listener removed to u somewhat remote
part OF the country, where no began the
business OF Embarrassing on little farm on
the edge of forest. He took with him
Newfoundland dog who had long been in
his family, and who was already not far from
the ordinary term OF q dogs existence,
Some three years after this gentleman's
removal friend of the family's, and one
70 whom the old dog had been much at
tached, visited the place. The dog knew
him, and greeted him with immense Joy.
But the animals age had grown so great
that he got about with difficulty, and this
fact the visitor noted,
"Oh" he exclaimed, "how dreadfully
old Jack Is growing"
'Yes," said tho dogs master, at is quite
pitifui, but we can not bear 10 put hum out
of the way"
That evening the dog was about the
house. With the morning he disappeared,
and some days afterward tho body was
found deep In the forest, at the foot Of q
great tree. Had he attempted TO make q
long tour in the woods, longer than his
strength warranted, and been overcome by
weaknessl 1t was not his habit to go into
the woods alone at ali. He had not made
such a trip for years His master firmly
believed that, realizing that his death was
near, the old dog, either from q determine
ton TO spare his friends the scene Of his
agony, or else following blind but high
instinct, had gone far into the depths OF
dhe forest, and lain down to die alone.

Very likely not. We often assume that
animals understand spoken words when
probably they do not, but are guided by a
keener perception CT their own. An intel
ligent dog, who lives much with his
master, anticipates the masters words.
He knows what his master will do, or what
command he is about TO utter, before the
word is spoken. Mr. Hamerton has pointed
out the mistake which men make in at
tempting 20 assimiiate the animals intelli-
gence TO that Of human beingn. 1t IS al
together q different sort OF intelligence,
but, in certain directions, it is keener than
men's-so much keener that we can not ar
rive at knowledge OF the way in which IL
Is exercised. A dogs perceptions are con-
1inually astonishing those who come IA con-
tact with him; and yet II we try to make
the dog behave like human being, the
chances are that he will act like fool.
There is no sort Of doubt that dogs often
do understand good deal Of spoken Ian.
guage; but often the faculty which they
exercise when they appear to understand
words may be quite different one. and
often higher faculty still

Humors Of the Battle-Fleld.

Many humorous incidents occurred on
the battle-nelds, of which the following
from the Century are good specimens: 4
Confederate Colonel ran ahead Of his regi-
ment at Malvern Hill, and, discovering that
themen were not following him as closely
a. he wished, he uttered fierce oath, and
exclaimed: Come on Do you want to live
forever~ The appeal was irresistible, and
many poor fellow who had laughed at the
Coloners queer exhortation laid down his
life soon after. A shell struck the wheel of
Federal feld-piece toward the close Of the
engagement at Fair Oaks and, shiverinR
the spokes, dismantled the cannon. "WeIl,
Isn't that lucky that didn't happen before
we used up all our ammunition ~ remarked
one Of the artillerists as he crawle6 from

70 put Hostetter's Stomach Bitters against

iilary potent to disam the foe and assure

don it altogether. But it is its preventive
force that should chiefly recommend the

of defence against which the enemy is pow
