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.

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

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. ;"

The Maniac Sen Captain.
The following thrilling circumstances
are derived from (he history of the Xew
York marine. 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!.
