sentiment upon matters SO importan,

substrata of all bug ethicks.
But let the learned and polite pull

that his attachment tew the home oy

How strange it IL that man, made

three, it was better than no leg.
In walking or trotting, MIR. Tewks-
bury's dog always used his wooden leg.
If, however, he had occasion to do any
leaping or fast running, or to show in
any way especial nimbleness, with
which the stiffness of his artificial limb
would have interfered, he held up the
wooden leg gracefully, aud, leaped or
ran on the other three.
The dog lived to q good old age, re-
spected and admired by all who knew
him. His grateful affection for man
hind in general, and for Mr.. Tewsbury
in particular, was the most marked
feature Of his character.
As his fame never spread abroad, it
is quite certain that his case did not
suggest the similar kindness toward q
cat on the part of gentleman named
McGrath, Of Woodford, Kentucky, an
account of which is given in . Louis
vile paper,
In the case of Mr.. McGrath's cat,
however, the providing Of . wooden leg
Was not to repair an accident, but to
supply . natural deficiency. The cat,
it Is said, was born with only three legs.
Instead Of drowning it forthwith, Is
some men would have done, Mr.. Nc
Grath carefully nourished the three
legged Kitten, and when it was weaned,
he made and skilfully applied q light
but durable wooden leg where the
fourth leg was missing.

A Servants Perplexity.

There is a growing impression that
New Year calling is falling off; that the
care, vexation and annoyance outweigh
the pleasure and profit. But no long as
the White House sets the fashion there
will be hundreds who will follow. The
White House is tenacious of custom and
precedent, and not until we have bach
elor or widowed president utterly desti-
tute of female relatives will the White
House fail to keep open New Years TO
all corners.
But there are annoyances. AT a GER
tain o street house two gentlemen called
together. The servant whose duty it was
to attend the door had disappeared for
the time being and the cook was drafted
into service. She was not up to the latest
development of polite circles, but was
not to be caught mapping.
After brief parley at the door she APP
peared in the parlor with single card in

The above advertisement in one of the

tiser being quite unaware that publicity
would be given to what was developed.
The manager of the "social agency" for
such he called his establishment, was
found occupying an office in one of the

general purpose of his business was the
leaving of calling cards, thereby saving

''That, of course, is our biggest day,

are made, but because we work on New

employ us, but leaving them in the

carriages calling this New Years, and
we will have to supply them with gen

so many calls, although not entertaining,
they must be considered very desirable
