CANINE FRIENDSHIP.

A Radnorshire lady who was married in March, and came to reside in Yorkshire, recently paid a visit to her father, who, before she was. married, had kept two or three sheep dogs, of which she was very fond. Since then he has retired from business, and disposed of all but one dog. This one met the lady with demonstrations of great delight upon her arrival at her father’s house, and that night the dog went a distance of seven miles to a farmhouse where one of the other dogs had been sent (the latter was blind, but kept as being an old favorite). In the morning, when the lady went to the door, she not only saw the dog which had given her such a glad reception the day previously, but also the old blind one, which had evidently been brought by the other dog to welcome her. When the second night came, the old blind one was taken back to its home by the same dog, which afterwards returned, having travelled a distance of twenty-eight miles to give pleasure to the old blind one.— ‘ Land and Water.’

By declining to eat things that you want because they are unhealthy, by going to bed early when you want to sit up, and by making your life wretched in a thousand ways, you have a chance of living to a ripe old age, if that is any satisfaction to you.—American paper.
