Tllll MOVERS. BY W. D. 1IOWELI.9. P.irting was over at last, and nil the. good-liysli-ad been spoken . Up (lie Ions nill-sid- e rnad thowliitc-tcnte- il va-fr- on moved slowly, Itcnriiifi the mother mid children, while onward before (hem the. father Trudcedwith bis gun on his arm, and tho faith-ful house-do- g beside him, Grave and sedate, as if knowing flic sorrowful thoughts of his master. April was in her prime, and (he day in lis dewy niriikintr; Tjikc n sreat flower, afar on the. crest of the east-ern wo', i Ihiiid. Goldcnly bloomed the sun, and over (he beautiful valley, Dim with its de.w and shadow, and bright wilh ilsilreuiu of a river, Looked to the western bills, and shone on (he bumble procession, Paining Willi splendor the children's eyes, mid the heart of the mother. Beauty, and fiasrnnce, and song, lllled (lie nil-lik- e a palpable presence. Sweet was thu smell orihuduwy leaves and (he flowers In the wild-woo- d, Fair die long rei.chcs ol bun and shade in the aisles ol" the forest. Glud of (he spring, and of love, and of morning, Ihe wild birds were sinu'int;: Jays to each other called harshly, then mellowly fluted together; Sang Iho oriole songs as golden nnd gay as his ulumuiie; Pensively piped the querulous (mails their greet-ings un frequent, While, on Ihe meadow elm, the meadow lark gushed forth in music, Itapt, exultant, nnd shaken with the great joy of liisftinuing; Over Ihe river, loud-chatterin- g, aloft in the air, the kingllsher Hting, ere lie dropped like a bolt, In tho water beneath him; Gossiping, out of the bank flew myriad twitter-ing swallows; And in ihe bows ol the. sycamores quarreled and ihiniorcd the blackbirds. Never for these things halted n moment tho Hov-ers, but onward, Uy (he long hill-si- de road tliewhite-tcnle- d wagon moved s)owly. Till, on the summit, that overlooked all the beau-tiful valley, Trembling and spent, the horses came to astand-stil- l unbidden; Then from Iho wagon the mother in silence got down with her uhildien, Uilmc, and blond by the father, and vested her hund on his shoulder. Long together thcygaz.-- d on the, beautiful valley lu'lore tlicm: Looked on the well-know- n fields that stretched nwny to the woodlands, Where, in the dak lines of green, showed (he milk-whi- te crest of the dog-woo- d, Snow of wild-plu- ms in bloom, and crimson tints of the led-bu- d; Looked on the pasture-field- s where the cattle were ln.IIy grn.ieg .Soft, and sweet, and ihin ciimc the faint, far "notes of the cow-bell- s, Looked on (he oil-trodd- en lilies, with Iheir elder and blackberry borders, Looked on Hit orchard, a bloomy sea, Willi its billows of blossoms. Kair mis the scene, yet suddenly strange and nil unfamiliar, As tire the. facts of friends, when the word of farewell has been spoken. MISCELLANY. C.YXINE lilOCUArilY FOK IS 78. A Summary of Saaclou' Canine Ex-ploits by fiimd anil Nun The Trifles, Slaimeis, and "ilishaiss oi th Intel- ligent DOS- - A writer in Hie New York Evening I'ost compiles tho dog stories of lite season as follows: Not only does " every (lof-i:iveii-s ilay" ris eerlainly now ;is in (lie old time when llieiaet passed into :t proverb, hut, "his day" now lias a far grailer likelihood of securing- - general recognition nnd notoriety than it ever could have, had in that anle-newspnp- er period. Tho modern dog, like the modern man, hisnmslcr, is continual-ly appearing in print, nnd challenging a share of the public interest in all manner of connections, creditahlc or otherwise, as the ca.o limy lie. Ho fonni, indeed, as es-sential, if not us inevitable, a feature in a complete and satisfactory newspaper us do its advertisements, or marriage notices, or accounls of the. (roubles in Spain. That the statement is 110L overdrawn n reference to the record of (he present year which has not been a particularly good one for dog will conclusively show. TltUSTY XSO TllUK. The tratlilioiiat acls of lldclily, (o begin with, have been well exeiiiplilied by Iho I'ntei'soii bulldog who jumped inlo the waler for Ihe lirsl lime iu liis life, one Au-gust day, and saved his master's child from drowning; by (lie Illinois dog. of low re-pute, who was inspired, lust July, to seize by the nose a cow thai was aboui. to to.--s a baby upon her horns; by tho Nashua ter-rier" who, idler watching beside his little playmate, sleeping on the lawn on May day, barked to the passers-b- y to conic mid Willie him up as the evening shadows fell ; by the .Newfoundland, of the same town, who interposed bel ween a creeping child and an open lire-pla- ce so as to be singed and blistered when the mother of the child appeared; by the dog of the Atlantic llouse who' distinguished himself in a somewhat similar way at the August lire on Mount Deserot; by Ihe. Xewfofmdland who saved the son of ihe lighthouse-keepe- r on the same island, lirst dragging hint from the. water and then attracting aid for liis resuscitation by the display of his wet and muddy cap; by tho Nevada maslilf who rescued a (ive-year-o- ld girl from (lie grasp of a pniithcr, and finally hilled the beat after it had been wounded by n rille shot from the child's mother ; by the dog of remisgrovc, N. J., who iu Jiint; attracted seasonable aid to his baby playfellow drowning in a well ; by the (log who, iu July, fought the mur-derers of the McUritles, in Lycoming county, Pa.; by the Newfoundland, who defended (lie children of a San Prancisco lawyer from the assaults of a crazy wo-man ; by the terrier, who tried to wake up a woVknian on lOast Eleventh street, this city, one Saturday night in Stay, for the rescue of his brother, who had risen from (lie bed and hung himself; and by the bulldog of Huguenot, in this State, ivho last month, with his teeth and paws, tore off from a little girl u part of her burning garments, and would have saved her life lint for the ill-judg-ed interference o( her frantic mother! MOISE ZK.U.OUS 'IHAX DISCREET. Canine faithfulness, however, is some-times misapplied, as at Seranlon, last March, where the dog of an old man who had fallen from cold and hunger kept al bay. his would-b- e rescuers until he was nearly dead; and at, Manchester, N. II., where a new watch dog mistook Ihe mas-ter of the house for llie'hnaginary burglar al whom lie was Jiring his 'revolver, and received him warinl with open mouth. Oregon, III., is the residence of tho New-foundland so active In the digging up of potatoes and oilier vegetables that hia in-dustry iias to be checked by u chain ; and Lawrence, Mass., claims the dog that crept hack to a shoemaker's shop where some boots had been left for repair, and refused (Oiillow lliem to be touched by tho terri-fied repairer ; but il remained for the Cali-forni- an climate la develop, iu it King Char es spaniel ;il Oakland, a propensity for sfenling from the doorsteps of his neigborhood all the morning' papers and burying them carefully in a convenient rubbish heap. Less innocent than lie was the New- - Orleans terrier that regularly stole laces and jewelry from the shop-keepers, under the instructions of his mis-tress, who dually look poison and died when Ihe dead body of her pel was thrown into her prison cell by his unfeeling cap-tors. An ollsel fo this was found m (he case of the Jtichmond poodle, who shed genuine tears, and llnally died of grid over tho removal of his mistress to Ore-gon; and in the (roubles of n lloslon clergyman,. whose dog, once the properly of a London thief, snatched the porl--' mommies from his lady parishioners and , proudly handed (hem 'to him at, the very entrance to the church. The Troy saloon keeper's black-and-lu- n terrier, who can distinguish counterfeit paper money from "genuine, and who lias, within a few 1 years past, picked up and brought lu from the streets more than S300 in currency, perhaps deserves naming at this place ; while, as a iinal example of overfailhful-ncs- s, may be mentioned (he dog of lling-hamfo- n who followed up Ihe cloak and umbrella lent to his master's guests who went oul to pass a night al a neighboring house, and kept guard beside the properly, without food or drink, until lie saw it safe-ly returned. WHEN 1)00 Mi:iiTS BOG. Of dogs' dealings with one another and wilh other animals the. season has given many examples. In Jiimme.y, Vt., the chaser of a woodchuck, after bciiiK fre-ipion- tly baflled by the escape of thelatter through ii drain, stationed anolher dog at one end of it, and then himself entering as usual at the other end triumphantly captured his victim. In Viltslleld, Mass'., also, a dog, after a long light in a clover held with a woodchuck of about his own size and strength, finally won the victory by dragging his antagonist to a brook near by and holding him under water until drowned. The July exploit of Mr. S. L. M. Harlow's Scotch deer hounds was char-acteristic. One of them having casually ventured inside the yard of n farm-hous- e, was pounced upon by Ihe mastiff who kept guard (here, and severely punished. l''or live, days the injured hound stayed at home, in a hole which he. had dug in a shady spot where he could keep his wounds in contact wilh the moist earth and discuss with his mate the most prom-ising plans for revenge. Then the pair quietly advanced to the quarters of (he niaslilf and lore him (o pieces before hu-man aid could arrive. The lordly New-foundland dog has appeared as a peace-maker iit llufliilo, where he serenely seized and carried oil' one of a pair of contesting eurs; and as a murderer al Portland, where he deliberately drowned a small dog who had pestered him beyond endurance ; as the protector and friend of a miniature terrier at New Orleans, where lie captured similar terriers to serve as companions (o his own ; and as an humble suppliant at Manchester, hi this State, where an oblig-ing shepherd dog pulled him up (he sleep stone wall of the canal. One dog m this city has been made asort of Uhmiicl among his fclloV& by (he action of his master iu attaching needles to his muzzle; and another iu a Massacliiisel( village has lost, his ears, by his Indiscreet zeal in thrusting his head between the slats ot a picket fence, to snap at a passing rival, for when (lie rival discovered his Inability to withdraw his head lie de-liberately chewed oil the prominent parts of it. I'rom Algiers comes the pleasant-es- t story of the. dog who lel'lone ot'lhe twelve loaves which he was wont to bring from Ihe baker each morning, iu posses-sion of a sick and starring fellow-do- g whom he found on (he way ; ami, from nearer home, of the eat lliat niini'lered unto a sick dog, and, wheiuuiiiblelo tempi hisappelile wilh ordinary food, stole a hot inullon-cho- p from it nei'hbor's kitchen and politely presented it, to ills altention. PJeiHiinl.lbo, must, have been the sight presented by (he dogs who met aL (he middle of a narrow bridge and perfected an arrangement, whereby ihe smaller ani-mal crawled between the widely-extende- d legs of the larger one. and both went re-joicing on their separate, ways.' Colorado was the scene of action of (he shepherd dog who was left to collect and bring forward SOt) sheep that a sudden snow storm had separated from (he main drove of S,U00 and scattered in packs fiom twenty to one hundred in Ihe mountains west of'Deiiver: and he did recover more than four hundred of them, and drove them up to rejoin the main column nl the. close of (lie third day. having been observed by leam-tcr- s to'cainp with the flock each night, to al-low (hem to graze when nece-wiry- , ami to slaughter one daily lu appease" hi" own hunger. Less extensive but t ill nolablu was the exploit of the Canaan butcher's dog who swam around the mill-pon- d wilh an obstinate, and suicidal pig. and finally brought him safely to shore al the ap-pointed spol. A reference to I hi: persist-ent light of a thirly-poun- d hull terrier with a horse al Oldham, ling.; to the (le-st ruction of one hundred ground hogs by an industrious dog iu Chester county, Pa. ; and the remarkable success of lialti-niore- 's profes-ion- al nil-kill- er, with hi (rained fen-el- s and one-eye- d, hob-taile- d, scarred but indomitable Skye terrier may be accepted as completing' ' the summer's record iu ibis direction. . 1WWCKY DOfiS. . Misfortune. (Iiiis(er. and sudden death bare, of course, troubled the canine as well as the li'iniau family. The. earliest notable ca-- e of the year w;i, perhap', dial in April of the dog who was si randed on a rock'in Ihe Niagara Hirer, where the as-sembled spacla'lors. idler vainly Irving to shoot him, decided to throw him food, whereby his life was sustained until the subsiding floods allowed his escape fo (he laud. Similarly, in Portland, the other day, a dng wcdyeit lum-e- lf into the vault pipe of a newspaper .olliee. and, as he persistently refined to he drowned, an agent of the society with the long name employed a force ot men to exhume the pipe and re.-c- ue him. A llufliilo coach (log tumbled out of a third-stor- y window'upon the slone pave-ment, but was so much discomfited at the thought of the enjoviiienl fell, by the other dogs al his downfall that he walked awny without any expression of physical pain. Likewise the little dor thai jumped into the Lehigh colliery, near Shenandoah, ut-ter his descending master, and got to the bottom in advance of him, was entirely unhurt, though the drift I lirough which he re.Il was 3;!0 feet long, with n pilch of fori y-li- ve degrees. A Detroit man, who left bis dog carefully fastened lo the wheel of a wagon, returned to the scene in time (o see the animal describe, several swift cir-cles in the air, and gasp his last breath sis the liitallv unsteady hitching post relea'-e- d him. Another resident of Unit city paint-ed his dog red, in the belief that the law required all licensed dogs lo he thus dis-tinguished; but the record docs not say whether the result was the same as in the case of ihe nolorious Paris woman's poodle, who, after being colored a brilliant blue iit great expense, licked oil' Iho ceru-lean dye and died. The dog of Troy jwho hist spring became nolorious by drinking the waste beer in his master's saloon, has been eclipsed of late, by the one of Peoria, whose indulgence, in malt beverages has brought on' delirium tremens; but the dead dog of Norwich, whoso presence on the street for two days so filled Ihe air with the odors of decomposition (hat the health onicers. on complaint of a resident, ordered his removal as a nuisance, bill who walked briskly away from the touch of (he undertaker, is absolutely without a rival. A unique case also is (hat ot the woman with a poodle who insisted upon riding in the smoking car of n train run-ning into Cleveland, and who there, snatched a cigar out of a gentleman's mouth, with the remark, " If there is any-thing I do hate it is tobacco smoke," only tolnive the outraged smoker pitch her dog out of the window after his cigar, with the rejoinder, If there isanything I do hate, it is a poodle dog." The cars like-wise were 1 lie death of (he dog ot'aUtica hose company, who jumped from one train only to be crushed by another ; and of a Spr'inglicld cur, who was too proud to move from the track of an approaching cn"'ine, and wa consistently vicious enough lo fasten his expiring grip on the lianifbf the urchin who tried to soothesjiis II mil agonies. ;" Inxocknci: is not virtue, and lhoc who fancy thai it is make, a tidal mistake. In-nocence is simply ignorance of evil ; virtue knows il, appreciates it, rejects il. In-fancy is lovely ill its innocence; but life, with its stern realities, demands the strong, ripened vigor of manly virtue to resist its evil, to protect its good, lo build up charades, and lo bless the world.

On a bright morning in Oc-tober, isi'.l, 1111 American packet-shi- p in (he Liverpool trade, fell the anchorage in the lower bay of Xew Vork, and went on her way to the sea. She was deeply laden with an assorted cargo. Being a staunch, fast ship, ami baring experienced oiheers audalullcrew.it was expected that her voyage would be sal'elv and speedily 1 s 1per-formed. Captain l!enon. the commander, was an " old .-ca- -dog." as the saying is. ISov and man. he had .-- pent the. best portion of his life on the ocean : and (here was mi cap-tain .-a-iling oul of ihe port who was re-garded as more thoroughly reliable hi every particular. He was now advanced hi years, and he declared that after a few more royage-h- e would retire, lie had made money, and besides interests in other ye.--el-s, owned one-ha- lf of the one which he eomm led. During the previous voy-age there were some peculiarities in h'is conduct which attracted the attention of his mates, and was mentioned to tho agents; but nothing further was thought ol it. The gallant ship pased Pamir Hook, and when well oil' the shore the pilot left her. The wind was fair, every sail was up and drawing, and a willing crew were put-ting everything in order for ocean naviga-tion. When i. pilot wen( over the side, he said. (.'aplain Ben-o- u. 1 will report you as having a lair wind, and going liken racer." ' " Ay, ay."' shouted tlie captain ; " let nil New ork siand by and look. I'm bound to beat everything that lloals or ever will Ileal. Look out for my report from Lon-don, or from the bottom of the Atlantic 1 don't, know viliicli. Ha, ha, ha!"' The language, il tune, ami the. laugh were all so strange that the pilot could not help turning to give a look of surprise at the face, of Ihe captain. This was all, how-ever, and the next moment hen as in his boat, tos-hi- g amid the waves, while the ship's sails, under order from the captain, were again filled, and she fairly Hew on in r way. The captain of a vessel is a king al sea. His orders are law. and any interference with him or them is mutiny a crime pun-ishable with death. Hence it can be seen thai when Iho officers of Ibis New York packet found Captain Benson saying and doing very strange and dangerous tilings they had little else lo do hut .submit and obey. This course of action began as soon as the pilot left, and it continued increas-ing in .-tn-ingencss from day to day. At length they became convinced (hat lie. ei-ther was actually insane, or bordering upon it. By his orders sail was kept on the ship to a most alarming extent. She was driven not only over, but through the monster waves. Great mountain-- ) of wa-ter fell upon her decks, and it frequently seemed as if .-- he would not again rise to the suriace. There was a great strain upon the hull, and the ma-t- s bent and twisted like reeds. Sails and spars were blown away, but again and again oame orders from' the captain lo repair damages, and set the sails anew. The ollicers were in the greatest distress of mind, and the crew were muttering and threatening to go in ii body lo the captain and remon-strate in regard to the slate of afliiirs. But still no one dared to act, fearing the terri-ble consequences of a eonlliet with Ihe commander. Captain Benson said little to anybody, except to i-- sue orders. ITe looked pale, and his cy had the dead, glassy look ob-servable 'iu tho-- e all'ected with insanity. He walked the cabin and decks with his hands behind him. and at intervals mut-tered to himself and laughed. It was a fact lliat ho was insane. The malady hail been slowly creeping upon him for some time ; and' now every hour was making il more decided and uncontrollable. For len days the ship had been navigated by a madman. One afternoon Ihn weather looked very threatening. It was evident there was lo be a severe gale, rilill the captain made no preparations for il. In fact, he crowd-ed more sail a the day advanced. Stand-ing on Iho. deck, he "shouted. You sea dogs. put. on every rag. Winds, blow blow blow ! We' are going no faster than a New York lighter. Look alive, men. Ha, ha, ha ! Now she jumps. Blow, ye. winds blow blow !"' The sail was put on. Ilwathe order of the commander, and lo refuse might, be death. Tho ship rushed onward, with her hull shivering lo the very keel, and her n lasts threatening fo snap asunder. 'lhi. ha, ha!" laughed the captain, as he lashed himself lo the rail, for there was danger of his being washed overboard. Captain Benson,'' said (he lirst mate, coining up with it .-e-rious countenance, ' Ihe wind is iucrea-iii- g, and we are going to have a heavy blow. " II is the judgment of all your ollicers thalsiiil should betaken hi, and not made.'' Sir," said the captain, wilh a wild glare, " I know my biiMiiess and my duty ; and you are a set of cowards, and "do not want 10 do the shi) or the owners justice. She is no harbor lighter no coaster, but an ocean racer. Begone, sir. to your duly. I .shall not fake hi any sail.' Ha, ha, ha! Blow, ye wind blow blow!" The male turned away with a sad heart. He could not for a moment doubt after what he had now heard (hat the caplain was oul of his mind. To every seaman 011 board there was the greatest peril in keeping on sail ; and here was the. captain, an old navigator, who under the circum-stances could not. fail to understand the position, refusing to take il in, and laugh-ing and talking like a maniac. A cri-- is was al hand. On on Hew the ship. Tho clouds grew blacker and black-er Iho sea looked wild and uglv. Down went the ship into the vorlex,'and then she lose, shaking the torrents of water from her, to rush again on her desperate way. A short consultation of the ollicers was held, the result of which was communi-cated lo the crew, who received iL with a cheer. The first mate then gave an order, which was reported, and in an instant the crew set about lakiuglu sail. As soon as the captain saw il he began to gesticulate fearfully, and cried oul, "Mutineers ! vil-lains! I'll hang everyone of you! Atyonr peril take iu a single' sail ! Come down on (bedeck, I say!"" With --wild icrrams and threats he hastily loosened himself from (he rail, and started I'orthe cabin. All knew that he was go-ing to arm himself. Consequently two of the males intercepted and seized liim. lu a moment more he was securely bound. What little reason there was 'left, depart-ed forever from Ibis moment. His wild screams, oaths, threats and laughter were heard above the roaring wind. I Ic strug-gled until completely exhausted, nnd then lay with his glaring eyes wide open. The ship was laken safely into port un-der the command of the lir.--t male. The nclioii taken with the caplain was fully re-cognized as proper and opportune for (he salvation of the ship and all on board. Caplain Benson was laken back on her re-turn to New York hi a most dangerous condition of madness, and was consigned on her arrival loan asylum. He was con-fined for some live years, when he died. At his most lucid intervals he imagined himself ou his ship, carrying all sail ; hut he was generally violent, and had to be . kept under severe restrain!. PITH AM) P01XT.

Tllll MOVERS. BY W. D. 1IOWELI.9. P.irting was over at last, and nil the. good-liysli-ad been spoken . Up (lie Ions nill-sid- e rnad thowliitc-tcnte- il va-fr- on moved slowly, Itcnriiifi the mother mid children, while onward before (hem the. father Trudcedwith bis gun on his arm, and tho faith-ful house-do- g beside him, Grave and sedate, as if knowing flic sorrowful thoughts of his master. April was in her prime, and (he day in lis dewy niriikintr; Tjikc n sreat flower, afar on the. crest of the east-ern wo', i Ihiiid. Goldcnly bloomed the sun, and over (he beautiful valley, Dim with its de.w and shadow, and bright wilh ilsilreuiu of a river, Looked to the western bills, and shone on (he bumble procession, Paining Willi splendor the children's eyes, mid the heart of the mother. Beauty, and fiasrnnce, and song, lllled (lie nil-lik- e a palpable presence. Sweet was thu smell orihuduwy leaves and (he flowers In the wild-woo- d, Fair die long rei.chcs ol bun and shade in the aisles ol" the forest. Glud of (he spring, and of love, and of morning, Ihe wild birds were sinu'int;: Jays to each other called harshly, then mellowly fluted together; Sang Iho oriole songs as golden nnd gay as his ulumuiie; Pensively piped the querulous (mails their greet-ings un frequent, While, on Ihe meadow elm, the meadow lark gushed forth in music, Itapt, exultant, nnd shaken with the great joy of liisftinuing; Over Ihe river, loud-chatterin- g, aloft in the air, the kingllsher Hting, ere lie dropped like a bolt, In tho water beneath him; Gossiping, out of the bank flew myriad twitter-ing swallows; And in ihe bows ol the. sycamores quarreled and ihiniorcd the blackbirds. Never for these things halted n moment tho Hov-ers, but onward, Uy (he long hill-si- de road tliewhite-tcnle- d wagon moved s)owly. Till, on the summit, that overlooked all the beau-tiful valley, Trembling and spent, the horses came to astand-stil- l unbidden; Then from Iho wagon the mother in silence got down with her uhildien, Uilmc, and blond by the father, and vested her hund on his shoulder. Long together thcygaz.-- d on the, beautiful valley lu'lore tlicm: Looked on the well-know- n fields that stretched nwny to the woodlands, Where, in the dak lines of green, showed (he milk-whi- te crest of the dog-woo- d, Snow of wild-plu- ms in bloom, and crimson tints of the led-bu- d; Looked on the pasture-field- s where the cattle were ln.IIy grn.ieg .Soft, and sweet, and ihin ciimc the faint, far "notes of the cow-bell- s, Looked on (he oil-trodd- en lilies, with Iheir elder and blackberry borders, Looked on Hit orchard, a bloomy sea, Willi its billows of blossoms. Kair mis the scene, yet suddenly strange and nil unfamiliar, As tire the. facts of friends, when the word of farewell has been spoken. MISCELLANY. C.YXINE lilOCUArilY FOK IS 78. A Summary of Saaclou' Canine Ex-ploits by fiimd anil Nun The Trifles, Slaimeis, and "ilishaiss oi th Intel- ligent DOS- - A writer in Hie New York Evening I'ost compiles tho dog stories of lite season as follows: Not only does " every (lof-i:iveii-s ilay" ris eerlainly now ;is in (lie old time when llieiaet passed into :t proverb, hut, "his day" now lias a far grailer likelihood of securing- - general recognition nnd notoriety than it ever could have, had in that anle-newspnp- er period. Tho modern dog, like the modern man, hisnmslcr, is continual-ly appearing in print, nnd challenging a share of the public interest in all manner of connections, creditahlc or otherwise, as the ca.o limy lie. Ho fonni, indeed, as es-sential, if not us inevitable, a feature in a complete and satisfactory newspaper us do its advertisements, or marriage notices, or accounls of the. (roubles in Spain. That the statement is 110L overdrawn n reference to the record of (he present year which has not been a particularly good one for dog will conclusively show. TltUSTY XSO TllUK. The tratlilioiiat acls of lldclily, (o begin with, have been well exeiiiplilied by Iho I'ntei'soii bulldog who jumped inlo the waler for Ihe lirsl lime iu liis life, one Au-gust day, and saved his master's child from drowning; by (lie Illinois dog. of low re-pute, who was inspired, lust July, to seize by the nose a cow thai was aboui. to to.--s a baby upon her horns; by tho Nashua ter-rier" who, idler watching beside his little playmate, sleeping on the lawn on May day, barked to the passers-b- y to conic mid Willie him up as the evening shadows fell ; by the .Newfoundland, of the same town, who interposed bel ween a creeping child and an open lire-pla- ce so as to be singed and blistered when the mother of the child appeared; by the dog of the Atlantic llouse who' distinguished himself in a somewhat similar way at the August lire on Mount Deserot; by Ihe. Xewfofmdland who saved the son of ihe lighthouse-keepe- r on the same island, lirst dragging hint from the. water and then attracting aid for liis resuscitation by the display of his wet and muddy cap; by tho Nevada maslilf who rescued a (ive-year-o- ld girl from (lie grasp of a pniithcr, and finally hilled the beat after it had been wounded by n rille shot from the child's mother ; by the dog of remisgrovc, N. J., who iu Jiint; attracted seasonable aid to his baby playfellow drowning in a well ; by the (log who, iu July, fought the mur-derers of the McUritles, in Lycoming county, Pa.; by the Newfoundland, who defended (lie children of a San Prancisco lawyer from the assaults of a crazy wo-man ; by the terrier, who tried to wake up a woVknian on lOast Eleventh street, this city, one Saturday night in Stay, for the rescue of his brother, who had risen from (lie bed and hung himself; and by the bulldog of Huguenot, in this State, ivho last month, with his teeth and paws, tore off from a little girl u part of her burning garments, and would have saved her life lint for the ill-judg-ed interference o( her frantic mother! MOISE ZK.U.OUS 'IHAX DISCREET. Canine faithfulness, however, is some-times misapplied, as at Seranlon, last March, where the dog of an old man who had fallen from cold and hunger kept al bay. his would-b- e rescuers until he was nearly dead; and at, Manchester, N. II., where a new watch dog mistook Ihe mas-ter of the house for llie'hnaginary burglar al whom lie was Jiring his 'revolver, and received him warinl with open mouth. Oregon, III., is the residence of tho New-foundland so active In the digging up of potatoes and oilier vegetables that hia in-dustry iias to be checked by u chain ; and Lawrence, Mass., claims the dog that crept hack to a shoemaker's shop where some boots had been left for repair, and refused (Oiillow lliem to be touched by tho terri-fied repairer ; but il remained for the Cali-forni- an climate la develop, iu it King Char es spaniel ;il Oakland, a propensity for sfenling from the doorsteps of his neigborhood all the morning' papers and burying them carefully in a convenient rubbish heap. Less innocent than lie was the New- - Orleans terrier that regularly stole laces and jewelry from the shop-keepers, under the instructions of his mis-tress, who dually look poison and died when Ihe dead body of her pel was thrown into her prison cell by his unfeeling cap-tors. An ollsel fo this was found m (he case of the Jtichmond poodle, who shed genuine tears, and llnally died of grid over tho removal of his mistress to Ore-gon; and in the (roubles of n lloslon clergyman,. whose dog, once the properly of a London thief, snatched the porl--' mommies from his lady parishioners and , proudly handed (hem 'to him at, the very entrance to the church. The Troy saloon keeper's black-and-lu- n terrier, who can distinguish counterfeit paper money from "genuine, and who lias, within a few 1 years past, picked up and brought lu from the streets more than S300 in currency, perhaps deserves naming at this place ; while, as a iinal example of overfailhful-ncs- s, may be mentioned (he dog of lling-hamfo- n who followed up Ihe cloak and umbrella lent to his master's guests who went oul to pass a night al a neighboring house, and kept guard beside the properly, without food or drink, until lie saw it safe-ly returned. WHEN 1)00 Mi:iiTS BOG. Of dogs' dealings with one another and wilh other animals the. season has given many examples. In Jiimme.y, Vt., the chaser of a woodchuck, after bciiiK fre-ipion- tly baflled by the escape of thelatter through ii drain, stationed anolher dog at one end of it, and then himself entering as usual at the other end triumphantly captured his victim. In Viltslleld, Mass'., also, a dog, after a long light in a clover held with a woodchuck of about his own size and strength, finally won the victory by dragging his antagonist to a brook near by and holding him under water until drowned. The July exploit of Mr. S. L. M. Harlow's Scotch deer hounds was char-acteristic. One of them having casually ventured inside the yard of n farm-hous- e, was pounced upon by Ihe mastiff who kept guard (here, and severely punished. l''or live, days the injured hound stayed at home, in a hole which he. had dug in a shady spot where he could keep his wounds in contact wilh the moist earth and discuss with his mate the most prom-ising plans for revenge. Then the pair quietly advanced to the quarters of (he niaslilf and lore him (o pieces before hu-man aid could arrive. The lordly New-foundland dog has appeared as a peace-maker iit llufliilo, where he serenely seized and carried oil' one of a pair of contesting eurs; and as a murderer al Portland, where he deliberately drowned a small dog who had pestered him beyond endurance ; as the protector and friend of a miniature terrier at New Orleans, where lie captured similar terriers to serve as companions (o his own ; and as an humble suppliant at Manchester, hi this State, where an oblig-ing shepherd dog pulled him up (he sleep stone wall of the canal. One dog m this city has been made asort of Uhmiicl among his fclloV& by (he action of his master iu attaching needles to his muzzle; and another iu a Massacliiisel( village has lost, his ears, by his Indiscreet zeal in thrusting his head between the slats ot a picket fence, to snap at a passing rival, for when (lie rival discovered his Inability to withdraw his head lie de-liberately chewed oil the prominent parts of it. I'rom Algiers comes the pleasant-es- t story of the. dog who lel'lone ot'lhe twelve loaves which he was wont to bring from Ihe baker each morning, iu posses-sion of a sick and starring fellow-do- g whom he found on (he way ; ami, from nearer home, of the eat lliat niini'lered unto a sick dog, and, wheiuuiiiblelo tempi hisappelile wilh ordinary food, stole a hot inullon-cho- p from it nei'hbor's kitchen and politely presented it, to ills altention. PJeiHiinl.lbo, must, have been the sight presented by (he dogs who met aL (he middle of a narrow bridge and perfected an arrangement, whereby ihe smaller ani-mal crawled between the widely-extende- d legs of the larger one. and both went re-joicing on their separate, ways.' Colorado was the scene of action of (he shepherd dog who was left to collect and bring forward SOt) sheep that a sudden snow storm had separated from (he main drove of S,U00 and scattered in packs fiom twenty to one hundred in Ihe mountains west of'Deiiver: and he did recover more than four hundred of them, and drove them up to rejoin the main column nl the. close of (lie third day. having been observed by leam-tcr- s to'cainp with the flock each night, to al-low (hem to graze when nece-wiry- , ami to slaughter one daily lu appease" hi" own hunger. Less extensive but t ill nolablu was the exploit of the Canaan butcher's dog who swam around the mill-pon- d wilh an obstinate, and suicidal pig. and finally brought him safely to shore al the ap-pointed spol. A reference to I hi: persist-ent light of a thirly-poun- d hull terrier with a horse al Oldham, ling.; to the (le-st ruction of one hundred ground hogs by an industrious dog iu Chester county, Pa. ; and the remarkable success of lialti-niore- 's profes-ion- al nil-kill- er, with hi (rained fen-el- s and one-eye- d, hob-taile- d, scarred but indomitable Skye terrier may be accepted as completing' ' the summer's record iu ibis direction. . 1WWCKY DOfiS. . Misfortune. (Iiiis(er. and sudden death bare, of course, troubled the canine as well as the li'iniau family. The. earliest notable ca-- e of the year w;i, perhap', dial in April of the dog who was si randed on a rock'in Ihe Niagara Hirer, where the as-sembled spacla'lors. idler vainly Irving to shoot him, decided to throw him food, whereby his life was sustained until the subsiding floods allowed his escape fo (he laud. Similarly, in Portland, the other day, a dng wcdyeit lum-e- lf into the vault pipe of a newspaper .olliee. and, as he persistently refined to he drowned, an agent of the society with the long name employed a force ot men to exhume the pipe and re.-c- ue him. A llufliilo coach (log tumbled out of a third-stor- y window'upon the slone pave-ment, but was so much discomfited at the thought of the enjoviiienl fell, by the other dogs al his downfall that he walked awny without any expression of physical pain. Likewise the little dor thai jumped into the Lehigh colliery, near Shenandoah, ut-ter his descending master, and got to the bottom in advance of him, was entirely unhurt, though the drift I lirough which he re.Il was 3;!0 feet long, with n pilch of fori y-li- ve degrees. A Detroit man, who left bis dog carefully fastened lo the wheel of a wagon, returned to the scene in time (o see the animal describe, several swift cir-cles in the air, and gasp his last breath sis the liitallv unsteady hitching post relea'-e- d him. Another resident of Unit city paint-ed his dog red, in the belief that the law required all licensed dogs lo he thus dis-tinguished; but the record docs not say whether the result was the same as in the case of ihe nolorious Paris woman's poodle, who, after being colored a brilliant blue iit great expense, licked oil' Iho ceru-lean dye and died. The dog of Troy jwho hist spring became nolorious by drinking the waste beer in his master's saloon, has been eclipsed of late, by the one of Peoria, whose indulgence, in malt beverages has brought on' delirium tremens; but the dead dog of Norwich, whoso presence on the street for two days so filled Ihe air with the odors of decomposition (hat the health onicers. on complaint of a resident, ordered his removal as a nuisance, bill who walked briskly away from the touch of (he undertaker, is absolutely without a rival. A unique case also is (hat ot the woman with a poodle who insisted upon riding in the smoking car of n train run-ning into Cleveland, and who there, snatched a cigar out of a gentleman's mouth, with the remark, " If there is any-thing I do hate it is tobacco smoke," only tolnive the outraged smoker pitch her dog out of the window after his cigar, with the rejoinder, If there isanything I do hate, it is a poodle dog." The cars like-wise were 1 lie death of (he dog ot'aUtica hose company, who jumped from one train only to be crushed by another ; and of a Spr'inglicld cur, who was too proud to move from the track of an approaching cn"'ine, and wa consistently vicious enough lo fasten his expiring grip on the lianifbf the urchin who tried to soothesjiis II mil agonies. ;" Inxocknci: is not virtue, and lhoc who fancy thai it is make, a tidal mistake. In-nocence is simply ignorance of evil ; virtue knows il, appreciates it, rejects il. In-fancy is lovely ill its innocence; but life, with its stern realities, demands the strong, ripened vigor of manly virtue to resist its evil, to protect its good, lo build up charades, and lo bless the world.

On a bright morning in Oc-tober, isi'.l, 1111 American packet-shi- p in (he Liverpool trade, fell the anchorage in the lower bay of Xew Vork, and went on her way to the sea. She was deeply laden with an assorted cargo. Being a staunch, fast ship, ami baring experienced oiheers audalullcrew.it was expected that her voyage would be sal'elv and speedily 1 s 1per-formed. Captain l!enon. the commander, was an " old .-ca- -dog." as the saying is. ISov and man. he had .-- pent the. best portion of his life on the ocean : and (here was mi cap-tain .-a-iling oul of ihe port who was re-garded as more thoroughly reliable hi every particular. He was now advanced hi years, and he declared that after a few more royage-h- e would retire, lie had made money, and besides interests in other ye.--el-s, owned one-ha- lf of the one which he eomm led. During the previous voy-age there were some peculiarities in h'is conduct which attracted the attention of his mates, and was mentioned to tho agents; but nothing further was thought ol it. The gallant ship pased Pamir Hook, and when well oil' the shore the pilot left her. The wind was fair, every sail was up and drawing, and a willing crew were put-ting everything in order for ocean naviga-tion. When i. pilot wen( over the side, he said. (.'aplain Ben-o- u. 1 will report you as having a lair wind, and going liken racer." ' " Ay, ay."' shouted tlie captain ; " let nil New ork siand by and look. I'm bound to beat everything that lloals or ever will Ileal. Look out for my report from Lon-don, or from the bottom of the Atlantic 1 don't, know viliicli. Ha, ha, ha!"' The language, il tune, ami the. laugh were all so strange that the pilot could not help turning to give a look of surprise at the face, of Ihe captain. This was all, how-ever, and the next moment hen as in his boat, tos-hi- g amid the waves, while the ship's sails, under order from the captain, were again filled, and she fairly Hew on in r way. The captain of a vessel is a king al sea. His orders are law. and any interference with him or them is mutiny a crime pun-ishable with death. Hence it can be seen thai when Iho officers of Ibis New York packet found Captain Benson saying and doing very strange and dangerous tilings they had little else lo do hut .submit and obey. This course of action began as soon as the pilot left, and it continued increas-ing in .-tn-ingencss from day to day. At length they became convinced (hat lie. ei-ther was actually insane, or bordering upon it. By his orders sail was kept on the ship to a most alarming extent. She was driven not only over, but through the monster waves. Great mountain-- ) of wa-ter fell upon her decks, and it frequently seemed as if .-- he would not again rise to the suriace. There was a great strain upon the hull, and the ma-t- s bent and twisted like reeds. Sails and spars were blown away, but again and again oame orders from' the captain lo repair damages, and set the sails anew. The ollicers were in the greatest distress of mind, and the crew were muttering and threatening to go in ii body lo the captain and remon-strate in regard to the slate of afliiirs. But still no one dared to act, fearing the terri-ble consequences of a eonlliet with Ihe commander. Captain Benson said little to anybody, except to i-- sue orders. ITe looked pale, and his cy had the dead, glassy look ob-servable 'iu tho-- e all'ected with insanity. He walked the cabin and decks with his hands behind him. and at intervals mut-tered to himself and laughed. It was a fact lliat ho was insane. The malady hail been slowly creeping upon him for some time ; and' now every hour was making il more decided and uncontrollable. For len days the ship had been navigated by a madman. One afternoon Ihn weather looked very threatening. It was evident there was lo be a severe gale, rilill the captain made no preparations for il. In fact, he crowd-ed more sail a the day advanced. Stand-ing on Iho. deck, he "shouted. You sea dogs. put. on every rag. Winds, blow blow blow ! We' are going no faster than a New York lighter. Look alive, men. Ha, ha, ha ! Now she jumps. Blow, ye. winds blow blow !"' The sail was put on. Ilwathe order of the commander, and lo refuse might, be death. Tho ship rushed onward, with her hull shivering lo the very keel, and her n lasts threatening fo snap asunder. 'lhi. ha, ha!" laughed the captain, as he lashed himself lo the rail, for there was danger of his being washed overboard. Captain Benson,'' said (he lirst mate, coining up with it .-e-rious countenance, ' Ihe wind is iucrea-iii- g, and we are going to have a heavy blow. " II is the judgment of all your ollicers thalsiiil should betaken hi, and not made.'' Sir," said the captain, wilh a wild glare, " I know my biiMiiess and my duty ; and you are a set of cowards, and "do not want 10 do the shi) or the owners justice. She is no harbor lighter no coaster, but an ocean racer. Begone, sir. to your duly. I .shall not fake hi any sail.' Ha, ha, ha! Blow, ye wind blow blow!" The male turned away with a sad heart. He could not for a moment doubt after what he had now heard (hat the caplain was oul of his mind. To every seaman 011 board there was the greatest peril in keeping on sail ; and here was the. captain, an old navigator, who under the circum-stances could not. fail to understand the position, refusing to take il in, and laugh-ing and talking like a maniac. A cri-- is was al hand. On on Hew the ship. Tho clouds grew blacker and black-er Iho sea looked wild and uglv. Down went the ship into the vorlex,'and then she lose, shaking the torrents of water from her, to rush again on her desperate way. A short consultation of the ollicers was held, the result of which was communi-cated lo the crew, who received iL with a cheer. The first mate then gave an order, which was reported, and in an instant the crew set about lakiuglu sail. As soon as the captain saw il he began to gesticulate fearfully, and cried oul, "Mutineers ! vil-lains! I'll hang everyone of you! Atyonr peril take iu a single' sail ! Come down on (bedeck, I say!"" With --wild icrrams and threats he hastily loosened himself from (he rail, and started I'orthe cabin. All knew that he was go-ing to arm himself. Consequently two of the males intercepted and seized liim. lu a moment more he was securely bound. What little reason there was 'left, depart-ed forever from Ibis moment. His wild screams, oaths, threats and laughter were heard above the roaring wind. I Ic strug-gled until completely exhausted, nnd then lay with his glaring eyes wide open. The ship was laken safely into port un-der the command of the lir.--t male. The nclioii taken with the caplain was fully re-cognized as proper and opportune for (he salvation of the ship and all on board. Caplain Benson was laken back on her re-turn to New York hi a most dangerous condition of madness, and was consigned on her arrival loan asylum. He was con-fined for some live years, when he died. At his most lucid intervals he imagined himself ou his ship, carrying all sail ; hut he was generally violent, and had to be . kept under severe restrain!. PITH AM) P01XT.
