My Aunt Margaret has a poodle. It is, tin*
questionably, tho ugliest little beast that ever
bore the canine form. Nature has done no
thing for it; and this neglect has been aggravat
ed by a variety if accidents. Early in its
puppy days, one of its legs was broken by a
fall through a spird staircase, from the top of
the house to the bottom; so that it limps. Its
eyes were villanou at the best of times; they
were marked by a s jr, suspicious, discontented
leer, and never look id you honestly iu tho face.
They gave the dog he air of a pickpocket; and
I seldom ever mot it without putting instinc
tively my hand to n y,watch or my purse. Had
I any faith in transnnfrfftibn, I should say that
the soul of Bill Soames had passed into the
ugly body of my old aunt’s poodle. But as if
the natural expression of its eyes had been in
sufficient to reader the beast hateful, an acci
dent must needs occur to remove all doubt up
on the point. Some months ago, the contents
of a phial of spirits of hartshorn were over
turned into Mr. Lovely’s tight eye—(lor Love
ly is the appropriate name of the exquisite
creature)—which said ritjit eye lias not only
been ever since relieved of the performance of
all optical duties, but lias assumed ail appear
ance by no means so agreeable as to warrant a
description. Its skin too!—The common say
ing that “Beauty is but skin deep,” would, in
this instance he a gross exaggeration, for Mr.
Lovely’s beauty is not even deep as that. He
is—to make a literal use of another common
expression—in a very ugly skin. It is of no
imaginable color—a sort of yellowish-greenish-
brownisk grey—an unearthly, vampyre tinge.
And here again accident has stepped in to make
had, wore?. By the upsetting of a caldron of
boiling xva'cr, the unlucky animal was wofully
scalded; aid to this hour lie bears evidence of
liissuireringi, uud his miraculous escape from
death, in two large, ghastly, pink spots—one on
his left side, the other on the nape of the neck
—as free from hair as the palm of your hand.
Now, though it would he impossible to like
such a mass of ugliness and deformity, yet had
it been a well-disposed, kind-hearted, unassum
ing, gentlemanly dog; i. dog of prepossing man
ners, respectable habits, decent conduct, and
tmimpeachablo morals; or were it remarkable
foi its talents and accomplishments; one might,
upon all, or any of these accounts, and in con
sideration of its sufferings, have pi'ied and en
dured it. But, no: ns it is the ugliest, so it is
tho worst of created beasts: sulky, snarling, sa
vage, and sneaking: thankless, and dissatisfied;
us arrant a thief as a magpie, as finished a
blackguard as a butcher's cur; and for accomp
lishments—it could not sit upou its hinder
legs, pick up a penny-piece, or fetch a hand
kerchief .across the room, were either of those
feats to be macie its benefit of clergy.
It may lie asked: Why he at the pains of
describing so worthless a beast?—Because the
beast, worthless as it is, is the sole urbitor of
the destinies of the only remaining represent*
tives of three ancient houses—the Noland’s,
the Thwaite’s, and tho Briggs's. Besides the
beast has a clear income of twelve hundred
lounds a year; or, which is the same thing, lie
las the disposal of it.
Yesterday was my old aunt Margaret’s birth'
day, when, as usual, all the members of her fa
mily wore invited to dine with her. Poor Jack
Noland and myself are her only immediate re
lations; tho Briggs’s (consisting of Mr. and
Mis. B. with their son uud daughter, Pomponi-
us and Julia) and Miss Priscilla Tlnvai.o (a
maiden lady of fifty-seven) being merely first
cousins to her late husband. The assertion
that all the members of my aunt Margaret’s
family were invited to dine with her, requires
som.e modification; nothing more must he un
derstood by it than all such as enjoy the honor,
of Mr. Lovely’S-patronage, and have beeu wise
enough to keep terms with him; for, bosides
the seven persons- cnunicraicd, their ure fifteen
others, who, owing to various offences commit
ted by them against the peace and dignity of
the rascally little poodle, are now no nmro con
sidered by my auni Margaret as her relations,
than Prester John.
Now, since aunt Margaret, as Jack Noland
very sensibly observed to mo the other day,
cannot carry her money with her to the grave,
it must bo evident that the prospects of us sev
en who still continuo in favor, arc improved
by. the removal of the unfortunate fifteen; but
in proportion as our places arc more valuable^
our duties, our cares, and our anxieties are
more oppressive. The brute seems to be per
fectly aware of this; he appears to have studi
ed our dislikes and antipathies for the fiendish
pleasure of exciting them; and he takes a dia
bolical delight in tormenting us to within an
inch of the forfeiture of our lcgacios. Ho is
perhaps more circumspect in his conduct to
wards mo than the other expectants; for I
long ago gave him a lesson winch he has not
yet quite forgotten. I am not of a very endu
ring temper; and finding Mr. Lovely, upon
whose caprices my hopes depended, to be a
dog whose good will was not to bo won by
gentleness—reflecting at the same timo that
the continual annoyance ho inflicted upon me,
might ono day or other force me beyond the'
bounds of prudence, provoke mo to retaliate,
and^thereby cost me dearly—I resolved upon
a decisive but dangerous measure, with a view
to secure myself against his future aggressions.
It was simply this: ono morning, during my
aunt Margaret’s absence, in acknowledgment
of an inhospitable growl at niv entrance, and a
manifest intention to bite, I flogged him in such
a way as perfectly astonished him. Ho has
ever since behaved to mo as well as such a dog
can behave.
But yesterday was, as poor Jack Noland
forcibly‘described it, “a tremendous day for us
all.”—Jack, by the way, is the poor cousin of
our family, whose duty it is to love and ad
mire us all, to be of every body’s way of
thinking but his own, to execute all the dis
agreeable commissions of the family, and pa
tiently hear the reproach when any thing goes
wrong—“Ah, there again! ’tis Jack’s fault, no
doubt.” But Jack possesses many good quali
ties, and is a pleasant fellow when he is .allow
ed to expand. But a stern look of the Briggs’s,
or a sneer of Miss Priscilla, will freeze tho
jest that is glowing at the very tip of his tongue:
in which case Jack xvill watch an opportunity
of taking me aside—for Jack aud I are tho
best fricuds in the world—and after a moment
of most expressive silence, and with a smile
xvhicli indicates a relish of his oxvn xvit, Bestow
uppn mo, after the following fashion, the en
tire benefit of some piece of pleasantry, which
lie had intended for tho whole party. “I say,
Tom; I’ll toll you xvliat I meant to say—so
and so—and I don’t think it so had; do you,
Toni?” But to return—not one'of us but, at
some moment or other, saw our hopes of in
heritance dangling by a single thread.
But, iu order that our sufferings and our
dangers may be fairly appreciated, it must bo
stated, that Mr. and Mrs. Briggs dislike dogs
generally, Lovely in particular; Pomponius
Briggs iind Miss Julia Briggs inherit the fami
ly aversion to the canine species, with the su
peraddition of a peculiar disliko of poodles
beyond all other dogs, and of my aunt Marga
ret’s Lovely beyond all possible poodles. Miss
Priss, the fifty-seren-year-old maiden cousin,
loathes the very sight of Lovely, and lmtos it
most devoutly, simply upon tho true old-maidcu
principle—because it happens to be n favorite
with aunt Margaret; poor Jack and myself are
the only two of tho family who do not enter
tain a sweeping dislike of all dogs, yet xve par
take of the general aversion to Lovely, and
hate him with heart and soul, for tho reason
that the dog is :in unaniiable dog. In a word,
not one of us but is a deadly foe to the animal,
and would hang or droxvn it—if xvo dared.
Within ono hour of dinner time, wo were all
assembled >n my aunt Margaret’s drawingroom.
After she bad received her felicitations, and
listened to our wishes that she might enjoy
many happy returns of the day, Jack slily
whisper 'd in my ear, “Of course, Toni, xve
don’t moan too many.” She burst into tears;
lamented io see so few of her rela ions abnu’
her on such a day; rcgreitod the misconduct of
the absentees (towards Mr. Lovely, lie it un
derstood) hud compelled her to-have done
with diem forever; declared that she had al
tered her will in our favor, -and hinted that she
xv:is mistress to alter it again if she. should see
cause. Of ibis odifying discourse, xvliich last
ed till dinner xvas announced, tho text was
“Lo\-o me, love my dog,” and tho obvious
morals “Look to your legacies.” It was not
xvithout its effect; and Lovely, who seemed to
understand the intention of it; occasionally bent
his evil eye upon each of us, with a look of vil
lainous exultation. Old Briggs xvhistlnd the
dog toxvards him; Pomponius drew a collar for
the “little rogue” from his pocket; Julia and
Mamma each patted the “pretty folloxv;” and
then turned aside, xvith a look of disgust, todab-
bio their fingers with Eaude Cologne; “Come
hither pretty poodle,” said Miss Priscilla, hold
ing some sugar-nlums xvhicli she had “bought
on purpose for the dear dog;” poor Jack No
land volunteered to give tho “littlo felloxv” a
washing in the Serpentine next Sunday; whilst
I vehemently swore that Lovely grexv prettier
and prettier every day. Here Jack Noland
drexv mo aside, and, assuming a ludicrous swag-
jer of independence, said: “I tcjl you xvhat,
Tom: this slavery is no longor to be borne;”
adding, in his dry xvny, “only wc must bear it,
you know.”
At dinner we had not a moment’s ponce.—
The reptile xvas either jumping upon us, and
groxvling till he had extorted from us the choi
cest morsel on our plates, or worrying us into
a fever by snapping at our legs under the table;
evidently with the intention to provoke us to
the commission of some outrago upon him,
xvliich might druw doxvn upon our heads the
displeasure of aunt Margaret. Presently, in
pure spite, ho ran yelping to his mistress, as if
he had been hurt, although l am persuaded no
one had touched him. “How can you lie so
cruel.to the p^or dumb beast?” said Miss Pris
cilla; unjustly and ill-naturedly singling out
the family scape-goat Jack Noland, for tbe ques
tion. Reproaches wore shoxvered upon poor
Jack from all quarters, who bore them—toge
ther with a pretty smart lecture from aunt Mar
garet, andH hint about every shilling of her
money being at hor own disposal—with silence
and resignation, Jack had, hoxvever, the good
fortune to repair the error he had not commit
ted by the lucky application of an epigram he
had lately read, which afforded him an oppor
tunity of conveying a pretty compliment to Mr.
Lovely, highly gratifying to my old aunt, and
at the same time of reveuging himself by a sly,
hilt desperate hit at Miss Priscilla. Perceiv
ing hor fondling the detested poodle, “Apro
pos,said Jack—the apropos wus, certainly,
somewhat too severe—“Apropos: in nn old
newspaper which I picked up tho other day,
met xvith this epigram on an old maid caress
ing a lap-dog.” There was nn axvful pause,
and Priscilla let tho dog gently doxvn. Jack
resumed:
“Rufa, I’m not astonished in tbe least,
“That thou sbouldst lick so dainty, clean n beasts
“Uitt that so dainty, clean a beast licks thee! —
“That surprises me!”
A dead silence succeeded, which was only
interrupted by my aunt Margaret desiring Jack
to ring for coffee.—This xvas the first timo in
my life 1 had ever known Jack to do a savage
thing; and os xve were returning to tho draxy-
ing-roora, ho endeavored to justify himself in
and get me cut off xvith a shilling on account of
that rascally poodle.”
The rain xvas pouring in torrents; and the
“rascully poodle,” who, to add to his natural
attractions, had been scampering about tho
muddy grounds, came dripping into the draw
ing-room. In this interesting condition, he
rnu from one to another (carefully avoiding my
aunt Margaret) squeezing himself between our
legs, and jumping into our laps. The fortitude
xvith which the attack xvas borne by us all, and
the heroic control xve maintained over our
feelings, xvero astonishing. It is probable that
auut Margaret’s reprimand of Jack Noland,
and her hint about every shilling of her money
being at her own disposal, may have contribut-
O'i ((I strong,li»«. n..-.., Mj,. itr-r L—^—1-— .
certainly xvus to toss the mongrel out cf the win
dow; hut, considering that a good four hun
dred a-year (for xvliich, I knoxv, I am doxvn in
the will) might be tossed out along with him, I
contented myself by affecting a laugh at the
“unceremonious little gentleman,” us I called
him, and, xvith my cambric pocket handkerchief,
smearing tho mud over my white silk stockings
till they xvere dry. Noland aud Pomponius
Briggs lblloxved my example; Pomponius, as
he was making bad worse by scrubbing his
white kerseymeres, muttering, “Tivo-pound-
ton, .by jingo!” Mr. Briggs, senior, sworo ho
xvas the most fortunate man breathing, for it
would not show much upon black. Mrs. Briggs,
whose French pink sarsnet dress was ruined
forever, merely simpered out, “Well, it canuot
be helped.” M.ss Julia Briggs, liko her papa,
congratula:ed herself upou her good fortune;
for being dressed in xvliite muslin, xvhicli xvould
wash, “it did not much signify.” And Miss
Priscilla, whose saffron-colored white satin
dress, xvhicli nover saw the light except on
state occasions, such as the present, and xvhicli
was noxv in a condition to set at defiance tho
utmost magic of the scourer, asseverated, as
she walked towards the window to conceal her
tears, ihat “it did not signify tko least in lie
xvorld.” VV'hcn Mr. Lovely bad thoroughly
cleaned himself by his visits to us, be ventured
to approach his mistress. '“I nm foarful,” said
my aunt, patting his back, for'ho was now
perfectly dry, “I am fearful Lovely has been
rather troublesome.” It xvas now who should
bo foremost to assure aunt Margarei, so far
from being troublesome, nothing in our opin
ion, could be more delightful than his good-na
tured playfulne.s, nothing more entertaining
than his innocent frolics; and that in every
possible respect Lovely was, incontestibly and
beyond all inuuns of comparison, the sxveeicst
Jog in the universe.
My aunt Margaret’s property is all funded;
and of Iter twclx e hundred a-year, she regular
ly lays by txvo-thirds. This wo happen to

FROM GREECE.
The following letter from tho correspond
ent oi the London Morning Herald, contains
tho latest intelligence from Greece. In addition
to this article, the Herald contains txvo other
letters, of great length, giving a very interest
ing account of a mutiny xvhicli took place at
Hydra, from the 1st to the 6th December. It
appears that after tho Turkish fleet hnd return
ed xvithin the Dardanelles to winter, the three
Greek fleets, (the Hydriot, Spezziot, and Ip-
sai iot) returned to their respective harbors.—
Tho sailors of the Hydriot fleet had been paid
on entering tho service for tho season, but
having spent all their money, upon which their
fitm.lii's relied for subsistence on their return,
they bccamo riotous. Their first demand xvas
for live of tho vessels to use in a piratical expc- •
dition. This proposition xvas peremptorily
refused by the primates, ami they managed in
the folloxving night, to send all the vessels off
to Pores, bnt two. Enraged at this disap
pointment, the sailors took the primates prison
ers, guarded them in the homo of Comiuriotti,
and decreed to bchoad them all on tho follow
ing day in the market place, unless they paid
them the sum of ouo million of piastres. In
this situation, tho primates contrived to send
information to captain Spencor, of tho British
frigate Talbot, then in tho neighborhood of
tho island,*in tho hope that he could doviso ■
some moons for their relief. Captain S. land
ed, and various ineffectual attempts were made •
to hush tho mutiny. Tho next step was to de
vise ways and means, for the primatos, and old
admiral Miaulis to escape, during the darkness
of the succeeding night. But all their plan?
wore averted by the watchfulness of the Hy
driots, excepting as fur os related to Miaulis
and two of tho primates. A compromise xxas
at last effected on the succeeding day, by Con-
duriotti, who, for his own portion, paid ono
hundred thousand piastres, the other primates
paying xvhat thoy could, and the sailors, levy
ing a contribution of fifty por cont. upon the
shop-keepers of Hydra. . ,

The sarno day prince Mavrocodato dined on
