TO SPARE HIS DOG.
Being Brief Account of Why Mr..
Goslington Took Up German.

1T will by no means do to- assume"
said Mr.. Goslington, that because
dumb creatures do not respond prompt
ly to our kindness they are insensible
to it. This truth was brought home
strikingly to me once in the case of a
dog l once owned. That this dog was
not impervious to gentle treatment
was clearly shown by the fact that when
you patted it on the head it would wag
it's tail; thereby showing that it not
only understood the kind treatment but
that it was pleased with it all through.
But I observed that when I spoke to
the dog when it was not looking at me:
it paid no attention. This was surprise
ing, and at first rather disturbing, but
the dog seemed in other RESPECTS SO
kindly that I did nothing about it.
"One day when a German friend of
mine was visiting me, and when had
called the dog with the usual result,
I 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
joyously bounding toward us. The
simple fact was that the dog under
stood the universal kindness of touch
and eye, but the only spoken language
he knew was German, from which
country, as I subsequently learned, he
had been imported only about ten days
before I bought him.
1.-The only question now was whether
I should teach the dog English or
whether I should learn German.
thought it would be easier for me to
learn a new language than for the
dog, and that is how I came to take
up the study of German."-New YORK.
