A spanieI's Trick.

1t is said that animals do not reason,
but you cannot convince the owner of
a black cocker spaniel of this. The
man lives in New York. and of course
the dog acknowledges that city as his
place Of residence also. A young lady
of the family to which he belongs once
leased him by sculling about the rugs
of her home until she could give an
electric spark of considerable snap and
then dischaYging it upon the nose of
her pet, the spaniel.
Not long after the abuse the dog was
observed T. roll upon the rugs, entirely
Of his own accord and then run to the
brass bedstcads and obtain spark
This he continues to do, and his own
observation seems to have taught him
that he must approach metal in order
to receive tie spark. In one room he
runs to the bedstead, in another to the
register. and as he licks his nose after
the pricking of the spark he never fails
to wag the remains of his tail, and bis
face assumes decided expression of
pleasure.

Mr. Sheldon was the principal mer-

khe fact that he had made it all him

sunpresstng Cruelty.

Many a man who would be ashamed
to strike brute beast with bludgeon
has no shame in making a bludgeon
of his tongue to strike human beings in
the tender places of their being-their
social sensibilities and their self es-

forms we have in good measure sup
pressed, but the refined cruelty of the
bitter word, the unloving censure. the
abusive harangue, is not yet extinct.
Let us be as careful of mems inner

If the negro had been forced to COM
pete for existence in America, he would
have been crushed out by the civilized
power, as the Indian has been, says
Albert Phelps in The Atlantic, but the
peculiar institution of slavery protect
ed him not only from this competition,
but also, by artificial means, from those
great forces of nature which inevitably
weed out the weaker organisms and
which operate most unrestrainedly up
ON the ignorant savage. For the first
time, perhaps, in the history of the
world human beings had been bred and
regulated like valuable stock, with as
much care as is put upon the best
horses and cattle. AS natural conse-
quence the sanitary condition of the
negro during slavery was remarkable,
especially by contrast with his present
condition, and his growth was the alb
normal growth of a plant abnormally
raised in dollhouse. When, therefore,
this mass of helpless beings was
thrown upon its own resources by the
act of emancipation and when the pro-
lection of slavery had been withdrawn,
the direst wretchedness and suffering
