THE DOG DID'NT APPROVE.
A mun who has made his fortune in a very different way, says that had it not been for his dog he would have been a great actor, Tragedy was liia line, and after patient waiting he at last got a part suitable, (is lie thought, to his talents. Wot only did he get the part, but he gut through it, and that well, ritjht up to the right act, and then came a failure, becausoone, and one only, of a large audience failed to appreciate his efforts, In the excitement of acting he did not notice that Mb dog had taken up a conspicioua and good position in the centre, of the stage, as if to criticise his master's performance With more candour than we are all ablo to exercise, finding it to his taste, slow, he looked around at the audience, back once again at.Mb master, then, deliberately strolling to the footlights sjaye a terrifio yawn, and trotted off and, alas! the proverbial descent ■ from the sublime to the ridiculous was in this Case as quick as the drop of the curtain.
