Astonished the Bulldog.

There are pair of youngsters who in to school during the week. Their con- stant companion is a handsome liver col Ored pointer, a spirited animal, whose courage is constantly getting him into trouble with bigger dogs. At one house, which the boys pass every day, is a half bred bulldog. It has been constantly at tacking the pointer, which, after brave but intellectual resistance, is invariably put to flight, much to the humiliation of it's little masters and the evident delight of the boy who acts as second for the bull.
 Last week, affairs took new turn The boys uncle came down from Ando- yer theological seminary to spend the holidays. He was great favorite with his nephews and entered with hearty spirit into all their innocent sports and pleasures. To him they bore their griev- l ances. He examined the pointers torn 1 and lacerated ears. .. "Hum! Boys, it is wicked to fight
 
 courage you, but it is plainly cruelty to animals to allow Fetch to be chewed up in this way. Have you got fine, three cornered file?'
 They had and they fetched it. The di- vinity student then proceeded to cut off six inches Of an old broomstck and got a couple of feet of cord. He took Fetch and the boys up in the barn loft. Fetch was then gagged with the broom handle and Tom held him on his back while Ned and Uncle Jack went to work. Taking the file, Uncle Jack carefully put razor edge on all of the dogs cutting teeth without touching the quick. When he 1 finished, you could split a hair on them. The dog whined some, but got along fairly well.
 There, /" said the embryo clergyman, ssthat is as good piece of dentistry as old Sawlegs himself could do. Now, boys, if this don't work, I'll fix up bo- l lus for the bull.'
 They saw the program and started down town, next morning, full of con- 1 fidenee. Fetch had been kept on soft l food and cooked meat, so that the edge 1 needn't be taken from his teeth. The bulldog was there on time, as saucy as ever. He came bounding out with big g-r-r-r-r and made for the pointer The pointer was plucky. They came together. l 'sAha my fine fellow,' thought the bull, ssyou are my meat this time. might as well do you up now for the next three weeks.''
 He grabbed the pointer by the ear and the pointer got in on the shoulder. Then something happened. A piece of hide came out of the bulls shoulder, as if it had been shipped off with pair of scis- sors.
 The bull gave yelp and backed off for an instant. Then he came in for a fresh hold and the pointer bit his fore leg half off The mongrel had nearly enough, but he made one more rally and got his throat cut open.
 That settled him. He stuck his tail be- tween his legs and bolted.
 Since then Tom and Ned have paratled l in front of that house half dozen times with Fetch, but the bull can't be coaxed in front of the house and his owner sits Isullenly on the railing, spits between his teeth and mutters omiilously ssWait till ketch ye alone, Wash- ington Post,

The Sermon.
From the oracles of the wise men are taken the following words:

From the oracles of the wise men are taken the following words:
 aBeware of a swelled head.'
 The text, beloved, is the elueidation of q great truth by a figure. We all know that while swelied head is to be avoid ed, that it is not of this which our Solon would have us beware. Not but what we ought to avoid the literal swell- ed head, which comes from too much beer or too much being out nights or too many political debates. For from these things we shall get very beery eye and a bloated nose. But the wise ones have q deeper lesson in the words of the text. They teach us first to beware of think ing that we know better how to con duct our neighhor's business than he does himself.

about tho house. and said 1t was common
