A DOGS Sense of Instice.

A gentleman residing in the suburbs is the
owner of very large and intelligent New
foundland dog TO which he is much attached.
The other day Max tine dog in question: ac-
companied his master to a neighboring mar
ket, where some purchases were to be made,
and, of course, something for the dog was in
Guided in the list.
When it came TO the latter investment the
purchaser was impressed with the small re-
turn secured for his money, and the dogs
glance at the same time seemed to signify
that a similar impression had taken possession
of his canine mind. The purchaser was just
about TO demonstrate with the dealer, when,
turning suddenly, he caught glimpse Of the
dog, who had taken his own method to get
even, and was darling through the door with
something he had seized from the bench. The
dealer did not notice the theft, and the owner
of the dog thought he was justified in post
poning any remonstrance as to his purchase
until more favorable time.-New York Star.

Superstition Relative to q Tree,

About five miles from the Hertfordshire

place called Tewin or Jewin, there grows
from out of grave five large trees, about
which there hangs tale. 1t is said4that Lady

existence of a God, but added that if she
found God when she went hence, five trees
would grow from out of her grave. In the

That was what a passenger on street car
said to the conductor, who nudged the lady
and pointed to quarter that lay on the end
of the seat.
The lady in question started and held up

pocketbool. A ten cent piece jerked out Of
it and fell in her lap.
"Yes, that's mine, she said, as she picked
up both the quarter and the dime. every

tremendous machine for colloquial oppres-
sion. His memory is prodigions, surprising

out his stores with an instructive but Dining
prodigality He passes from the minutest
GATES of English history or biography to a
discussion of the comparative methods of diff
ferent ancient orators, and gives you whole
strophes from the dramatists at will He
can repeat every word of every article he has
ever written without prompting; but he has
neither grace of body, face, nor voice; he is
without intonation or variety, and he pours
on like Horace's river, while we, poor rustics,
foolishly think he viii cease; and if you speak
he does not respond to what you say, but,
while your last words are yet on your lips,
takes up again his wondrous tale. He viii
not confess ignorance OF anything, though l
verify believe no one would ever have less
occasion to make the confession. I have
heard him called the most remarkable person
of his age, and again the most overrated one.
You will see that he has not left upon me an
entirely agreeable impression, still i confess
his great and magnificent attainments and
powers.-Charles Sumner.
