THE OUTSIDE DOG, You may prate of your upper and bottom dog, And blow an alarming sight, But, as I’ve found, the salest dog. Is the outside dog-in the fight. He never desires.to bej counted in— Thus showing an instinct bright; He saves his grinders for polishing bones, Does the outside dog in the fight. Mr. Hoc nan may try as long aR he likes To damage his foeman’s sight, But the pleasant position of looking on Has the outside dog in the fight. Utterly heedless if in the strife The might prevail or the right; The appetite’B good and tranquil the life Of the nuder dog in the fight. When danger threatens, the rapid way That he runs, is refreshing qui.e; And simply evinces the good, sound sense Of the outside dog in the fight. Then here’s to his healthy and-hoppy days, Luck send him abundance of prog, And drink to the hero of private life, A health to the outside dog!

A Terrible Ghost.

Speaking of ghosts, I have heard that, Home years ago, there was a lone house standing by itself, near a plantation, not far from Guildford. This house nobody would ever take because it was haunted, and strange noises heard in it every night after dark. Several tenants tried it, but were frightened away by the noises. At last one individual more courageous than the rest, resolved to unravel the mystery. He accordingly armed ''himself cap-a-pie, and, having put out the light, remained sentry in one of the ro ms. Shortly, he heard on the stairs, pit-pat; a full stop, then pit pat; a full stop again. The noise was repeated several a6j though some creature, ghost or no ghost, was coming up stairs. At last the thing, whatever it was, came close to the door of the room where the sentry was placed, and | listening; his heart, too, chimed in the tune! pit-pat, rather faster than it was wont to do. , He flung open the door—hurry-skurry. bang; something went down stairs with a tremendous jump, and all over ihe bottom of the house the greatest contusion, as of thousands of demons- rushing in all directions, was heard. This was enough for one night. The next night our crafty sentinel established himself on the first a heap of straw and a box of lucifer matches: ■oon all was quiet. Up the stairs again came the pit-pat, pit-pat. When the noise was close to his ambush, he scraped his match and set fire to his straw, which blazed up like a bonfire in an instant; and what did he see? only a rabbit, who stood on his hind legs, as much astonished as was the sentry! Both man anti beast having mutually inspected each other, the biped hurled a sword at the quadruped, who disappeared down stairs quicker than he came up. The noise made was only the rabbit’s fore and hind legs hitting the boards as he hopped from one stair to another. The rabbits had got into the house from a neighboring plantation, and had fairly frightened away, by their nocturnal wanderings, the rightful owners thereof. The mere courageous sentry was rewarded for his vigil, for he held his tongue as to the cause of the ghost. He got the house at a reduced rent,land several capital rabbit pies made out of the ghosts’ bodies into the bargain.— Bucliland's Curiosities of IV: t. If is.

A Bull Dog Attacking an ElephantHow He Came Out.

The Petersburg (Va. 7 Express says: f‘An amusing incident occurred while Van Amburg’s menagerie was crossing the Apomattox, a short distance above the Pocahontas bridge, strikingly illustrative of the fact that the bull dog is the most courageous of all animal*, and will attack any creature, regardless of size. As the elephant entered the water^with his usual slow and cautious step, some individual in the crowd, prompted by a spirit of mischief, hied on a large bull, dog to attack the huge animal. “The dog ijnstantly obeyed, and, plunging into the water, seized hold of one of the hind legs of the elephant, on which the latter only switched him with his tail as he would brush off a fly, but not ridding himself of his assailant by such gentle means, and feeling sharp teeth at work upon his leg, he suddenly threw his snout around, and seizing the dog, held him un.l 'r the water until he was nearly drowned; then raising him high in the air, threw him at least, one hundred feet out.into the stream. Fully satisfied Wiith the punishment he had received, the dog made his way to the shore and beat a hasty retreat.

A Curious Cate of Injustice.

A man was convicted and sentenced in New York, a year since, to ten years’ imprisonment, for shooting a piivate watchman, who, according to the evidence on his trial, detected him and a confederate in the commission of a burglar'-. The watchman was dangerously wounded, and swore positively that Edward Griffith, the prim tier, was the minn who shot him. There were, besides, several circumstances which involved him in suspicion, and the jury found him guilty. It now trahspires that Griffith was entirely innocent. This fact is ascertained from the confession of one Gordon, recently arrested for another crime. Me was one of the burglars, tint! his confederate, Kelly, shot the watchman. Griffith, who is now in prisph for the crime, was at hi.s own in bed, at the time. Other circumstances confirm this confession, and Griffith will doubtless be released.
