TO SPARE HIS DOG.
Being Brief Account OF Why Mr.. Cos

Belng q brleI account OF why Mr. 0Ob.

said Mr.. Goslington, shat because
dumb creatures do not respond prompt
ly to our kindness they are insensiblc
20 it. This truth was brought home
ntrikingly to me once in the case of a
dog that once owned. That this dog
was not impervious to gentle treat
ment was clearly shown by the fact
that when you patted it on the head il,
would wag its tail; thereby showing
not only that it understood the kind
treatment but that it was pleased with
it all through. But l observed that
when spoke to the dog when it was
not looking at me, it paid no after ton.
This was surprising, and at first rath.
err disturbing, but che Cog seemed in
other respects so kindly that l did
nothing about it.
Zone day when a German friend of
mine was visiting me, and when had
called the dog with the usual result, ]
asked my friend to call him to see if he
would mind him any better. He did
call, and naturally enough, being a
German, he called in German. To
our great surprise, the dog turned
and came joycusly bounding to-
ward us. The simple fact was that
the dog understood the universal
kindness of touch and eye, but the only
spoken language he knew was Ger
man, from which country, as | subse-
quently learned, he had been imported
only about ten days before / bought
him.
THE only question now was whether
should teach the dog English, or
| whether should learn German.
thought it would be easier for me to
learn new language than for the dog.
and that is how came to take up the
| study of German. IN. Y. Sun.

Lady Spencer once asked DR.. War

the minds of physicians must not be
frequently embittered by the reflection
that different mode of treatment
might have saved the lives of their pa

The Value of a Good Repu tation.
A good reputation is of great value.
One who has acquired the name of a
truthful, honest, just, pure man has a
great advantage over others not thus
equipped. If dispute should arise
between two men, one of whom is
known to be truthful and upright,
while the other is suspected of being
nsincere and unreliable, the
verdict of the community is
sure to be given in favor of the
former. If man is seen in place of
bad reputation his name will go far to
determine the judgment of his neigh
bors concerning his presence there. If
he is known as a good and pure man
the presumption will be that he is there
| on some benevolent mission. If his
Reputation is bad, every suspicious
circumstance will count against
| him. He will often be misjudged
because of his bad name. No doubt
men have been convicted of murder on
circumstantial evidence and executed,
when another, against whom the same
circumstantial proofs might have beer
alleged would have been acquitted A
good reputation adds much to ones in
Huence when he seeks to do good. His
arguments, appeals and examples are
emphasized and strengthened by a
good name. But good reputation
which rests on good character is best
of all. 1t shall not be overthrown nor
permanently injure Clouds may come
over it, as they come over the sun, but
lit will shine forth the light when
the mists roll away.-N. Y. Post.

A Song of Life.

He that clingeth unto life
For the fond lips of wife,
Hath, 1 know, great Joy to live;
Earth hath nothing more to give
Of all gifts that heavens confer,
Swcetcr than the love of her.
He that Is to life beguiled
By the clinging of n child,
Hath, | know, great store of grace
And with love a dwelling place.
For all heaven hath dreamoI and smiled
In the sweet face of Il child.
He that unto life is drawn
Whom the dark hath drowned tho dawn;
When no wifes lips sigh or sing
When no child arms Gasp and cling
Still hath hope, for In the night
Cometh dreams and CLEANS Of light!
So, though love be lost to thec,
Life, though lonely, sweet may be.
Can'st thou take when sore opprcst,
Others burdens to thy breast;
Love unto the love cs give?
Thou shalt bless thyself and live!
FRANK J.. STANTON.

A good story is told by the London
World of a purse proud old nobleman
who was travelling through the rural
districts of Sweden. In that country
evidently the people do not have quite
as much respect for titled aristocracy
as in some other localities on the Con-
tinent.
One day the nobleman came rolling
up to country tavern, and as he
stopped his carriage he called outin an
imperious tone:
Horses, andlord-horsesa at once"
81 am very much panied to inform
you that you will have to wait over an
hour before fresh horses can be
brought up," replied the landlord.
calmly.
"How!" violently exclaimed the
nobleman. fThis to mel Ny man, 1
demand horses Immediately.
Then observing the fresh, sleek
looking ones being led up to another
carriage, he continued:
"For whom are those horses?'
"They are ordered for this gentle-
man" replied the landlord, pointing
to n tall, slim individual few PAGES
distant.
II say, my man," called out the
nobleman, twill you let me have those
horses if I pay you liberal bonus?"
No." answered the slim man; 81
intend to use them myself"
"Perhaps you are not aware who l
am, roared the now thoroughly agi-
tated and irate nobleman. 81 am, sir,
Field Marshal Baron George Spare,
the last and only one ofmy race"
81 am very glad to hear that" said
the slim man, stepping into the car
raige. at would be terrible thing
to think that there might be more OF
you coming. am inclined to think
that your race will be foot race"
The slim man was the King OF
Sweden.

Only babys features, tiny, dimpled and fair,
Only mothers soft voice, saying an evening
prayer.
Only dying infant innocent, pure and fond,
Calrd from this land of nowhere, far off to

Only touching refrain, mystic music oflove
Only patch that glitters, leading into the

Only a valued memory of two little absent
eyes.
