A gentleman farmer in Amherst coun-
ty, Va, had two dogs that disappeared
at the same time and in a very mystic
chasing a rabbit. After that no clew
could be found that gave the slightest
intimation of their whereabouts. Day
after day passed, and the dogs were
given up as lost; but at the expiration Of
three weeks negro came to this farmer
and told him that n sound like the whin-
ing Of dogs could be family heard at .
poirt on the roadside where the red clay
banks rose to some height on either side,
Just where a sort of blind ditch had been
made across the road.
The farmer and his sons lost no time
in providing themselves with picks,
spades, etc, and repairing to the spot
indicated, where, after listening intently
few moments, the sound described was
heard. Then they set to work with .
will and ere long came to the poor,
wretched creatures entombed alive in .
sort of hollow which they had dug in
their frantic efforts to release themselves
With such energy hal they worked that
they would have succeeded had they dug
in the opposite direction, toward the
road, but they were digging all the time
into the bank, further and further from
the road, toward the field which stretched
away to the foot of the mountain. They
had been three weeks without food,
water or light. One was never quite
strong. and lived only year afterward,
but the other is alive, and is fat and thriv.

bub was protracted until everybody in
the locality was at his window in state
of violent alarm. 1t was Max O'Rell.

Experience shows that chance. OF
what we call chance, is the most active
agent in choosing profession, though
this should not prevent the young man
from faithfully considering what he is
going to do. In very many cases he will
find that he has mistaken his calling;
but he has not for this reason necessarily
wasted his time in seeking what proved
not to be available to him. He has been
adding to his knowledge and his expe-
rience enables him to act more wisely in
the future. He has developed his pow
ers to greater extent, and thus discov-
cred what he is fit for. One thing al
most always leads to another il the can,
didate has stability and push. Cor.
