A FliIXG AT TIIE DOG TRIBE. There are dogs that arc useful no doubt. There are also dogs that are agreeable and handsome pets, especially for ladies that have nothing to do. Hunting dogs fur the sportsman, of which ho thinks more than he does his children or even his wifo. These hunter dogs are the recipients of good fare, praises and of tender care, while the children are left out of school because they have no shoes, and the wife out of church for the want of a decent dross.

On the whole.-the canine race of women, seem to divide the ahections ol men. For a .1 u's faults thore are al-

be shut up in a pen, and fatcned to be killed. A dog may chase the cats nil over tho house with impunity, when the children would be flogged tor doing the saini! thing.

He may populate the house wan fleas, spend his nights in barking Et the moon under vour window, or at his shaduw, or barking because another dog barks, neither of them knowing what he is barking at, anil an excusc is always ready for "IJese," he is such a dog."

If the owner's neighbor finds ha dozen sheep dead in his field und rackcs I, oC straight to his home, it products no conviction against the dog. It is sufficient reply to half a dozen sheep whose throats arc bitten, that "my dog never chases sheep."—O.'no Fanner.
