A correspondent of the Farm and Home thus expatiates on the dog; Perhaps the principal end served by his cultivation is that the dog keeps the country from being in fested with sheep. This noxious creature would increase beyond bounds, were it not for the fun the dog has in keeping him under. Not that the dog cats sheep. There is nothing selfish or unselfish in his attack on this tiinid quadruped. It is mere playfulness on his part, which is encouraged by the fact that the sheep does not resist bnl only runs from him. The sheep won’t fight, so the dog has it all his own way, and all the more fun. It is perfectly plain sailing. Tiie most remarkable fact con nected with this habit is, that the sheep-killing dog seems never to be domesticated. We never knew a man to own one. The habit is confined to a wild breed. Men’s dogs have often been believed in a neighborhood to render this pub lic service, but their owners never claim it on their behalf. On the contrary, they usually dispute it with apparent surprise and the indignation of injured innocence. The sheep killing variety is not the tame dog. Another feutureof canine nature fits him for what is called a yard dog. It is the feature expressed with both truth and poetry in the words following, viz: that • dogs delight, 1 To bark and bite,” and it is faithfully enjoined on us in the same stanza to “let ’em”— an injunction generally followed, and, indeed, one which it would be difficult to disobey. This favorite attribute is often indulged at the expense of both the brute creation and the human without proper discrimination. The dog will even bite the best friend of his master, unless personally introduced. He stands on eti qhette. A man in dishabille stands a bad chance with a dog. lie ad mires full dress. The.indiscrimination of the dog in his regard was once the sub ject of comment by a friend of mine, who remarked that in a half century of experience he had only once known a dog to bite the riyhfi man. This really looked as if there was discrimination on The dog’s part,but no mistaken grounds of evideuce. He generally bites the wrong man. • Dog owners and raisers labor under many hallucinations. One is that their dogs will not bite you. They know you so well, they are confident, in their own mind, that their dogs must know you, too—can’t help knowing you. 1 am repraledly reminded of the story of two gentlemen entering a* yard. Say A: “ Brother B, please call off this dog.” B.—“Oh, Brother A, lie won’t bite you.” A. —‘‘But he has done bit mo." Such is the mistaken confidence men have in their own dogs. Never trust them. Keep the dog raiser between you and them at all times—concieutiously—or you are iu danger.j Freedmen are very successful iu dog raising. Those who have no visible means of support are usually the most so. A freed man will not sell his dog for any price. There is a certain superstitious notion entertained by him of the fatal consequences. The law of cause and effect, it is known, has not much weight ou tho judgment of the freedmam Our generation has been accused of being thriftless aud wearing j out the convering tho t goodly land of our ancestors into a wilderness. They have not neg lected, however, to add to its oharms that peculiar one of being “COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!” : a 1 howling wilderness.” Night is made ample hideous, and day dangerous by their. vigilant sub stitution for fences and locks. ■ In order to the full development of our resources in this line, to which so many persons are pecu liarly devoted, ought we not to import Chinamen ? Let the inqui ry be, not tlii; price of Now York I middlings or low grades of Livec ! pool cotton, of Erie bonds and Pennsylvania Central, but, how is mastiff this morning? What is | the ruling price of curs! And let Marm Venus praise her grey hound Yenisei! and juvenile cuffee shout, I here’s your fine fat fleet The census taker should have a | list of questions : Do you raise your own dogs? What number? Value? In what does their value consist ? We once knew the owner of a fan cy Italian greyhound, thorough bred, to declare his dog worth SSOO. He was asked the question last pro | pounded, “What is he worth it for ?" Rather staggered, be at length retor ted, “Why, what is any dog worth it for? Hie inquirer could not see it in that light. The cow kind is valued according to several qualities : for work ; for beef; for milk ; for hide. The dog differs from the cow in these regards The horse has ar value capable of ex pression, but the value of a dog is chiefly, le+thetic. It is a matter of taste, concerning which there is no disputation. Questions arise .cornier n iug sheep for wool, sheep for mutton, hardy sheep, etc., hut each man is likely-to think well of his oicn breed ; td-dogs, Even tho ladies expend their affections on poodles, and be have towards them in a way which, to say the.least of it, is very waste *ul of the raw material. However, in such cases wo are not envious.— | We would not share these fond ea rcsses either with the dog or after him. Seeing thus the high appreciation in which he is held, let us, one and all, cry,” hurrah for the dog !” and with just pride add, “.wo raise our own.” No provincial product i 3 the dog. His cultivation is universal.— There is no need of importation, for we can raise our own. No chance f or exportation—he can’t bs spared. Every people, every section county, district, neighborhood, family, raise* his, her, their, its, your, our, own. i dogs. Tho whole range of | sive provisions is scarcely adequate to express the numerous relations borne to the dogs we raise and “pos | sess.” As a people we possess so ■ many, and so many sorts of people possess them. Iluzzah, buzzah, huzza)), Tor the dog! Down with iheshtgrp b Away with the quiet of the night and the sleep of the restless !, What hu-ine-s have folks to get sick and restless? | Let the wilderness “howl,” “Let i dogs delight to hark and bite"—good | reason, “for tis their nature to.”— ] Give them room. Occasionally a lit tle child is torn and horrified, but what of that f Let us raise a chorus for the de lectable brute— a la Captain dents —or in his style improved and made emphatic. Hurrah ! Hurrah ! Hur rah ! Hurrah ! one and all, for the I dog we raise ! Our (home is evidently beginning to explode. ~ It grows too overpow ering. Oar emotions have readied the step which can be expressed only in mu io—wild and opevalio music with a chorus to wind up with as long drawn out as the tones of the animal wa describe, when his night accents are prolonged a:.d have no “dying fall”—albeit we wish much the animal himself could have one or more of the self-same—whether dy ing or dead. This affectionat94ribute to the dog we wished dead, (the dog is not dead yet, hut disoourseth in linked sweet ' ness long drawn out,) is paid in ad vance by a Lover or Mutton. How They Fell iu Love. They had “grown up together,’’ in the full sense of tho term, and that was the matter. They had eaten each other’s mud pies, taken the croup iu each other’s snow forts, cried out the sums on each other’s slate, tipped over each other’s ink bottles, sopped up the ink with their mutual | handkerchiefs, "told’’ of each other ■ j in about equal proportions, and “made i up” in a common exuberance of sobs j 1 and sassafras. They had played i'.t lovers behind the woodpile, been married by the prize speaker, been divorced by the “first base,” been reunited by the minister’s daughter, and gone to house keeping in the peat swamp, at regular intervals as far Lack as their memory extended. She had blue eyes, and never under stood vulgar fractions. He used to miss, so that she might get to the hea ! of the class. One day she braided her hair in two little braids behind, and tied it with a pink lute string rifetTSm at three cents a yard. When they walked home together he touched it gently, to signify his approbation, and she blushed like a May flower. It could not have been long after that before she grew shy at singing school, and was apt to he going home with her brother. In another year, when he went to St. David’s College, she cried herself to sleep, forgot to crimp her hair, and said nothing was ihe mat ter. So, oi couise, when -be came home, on his first vacation, it all hap pened, as it could uot very well help happening, and as 1 suppose it must go on happening to the end of all young things’dreaming or old ones’ warning. She sat in the choir, in a blue dress with whith spots, with a [•ink bonnet and pink cheeks, anil sang in a very sweet little coutry voice, that quivered and culled about the pillars of the sunny w hile meet ing home, like an incense iu an open field on a May day, you might have thought, and you might not. He grown rather tall, rather quiet, with long hair, ami the unmistakable St. David’s shawl, sat below, iu his fath er’s box pew, and listened. One Sunday it chanced that the Rev. Mr. Love, the recently settled and very popular shepherd of the “meeting house,” felt moved in the spirit to preach to his flock as a ser mon upon Christian amity, aud to suggest as its most fitting musical 'accompaniment hymn 857 of the ‘*Sweet Singer of Israel” (just intro duced). Ah, you excellent mothers of washing days on your minds, and ye fathers struggling to keep your faith under the discovery of Tom’s first segar, do you never suspect in your stupid good hearts, the tears of solid comfort rolling into your spec tacles as you sing, and your souls aglow with all tho hidden meanings of fellowship in one Master whom they who love not never know—do you never suspect the flirtations con ducted over that admirable hymn ? It may be very much too bad, but it is very much the case. It is quite as bad in me to suggest the sacrilege to your young people. Bless your in dignant souls, they stau I in need of no suggestion. Ask them. Ido not deny that it is atrocious in me to spoil the hymn tor you ; but that is another matter. She then, in her ; blue aud white dress, with a sunbeam I struggling through a little ground ! glass gallery window upon her pink {bonnet, sang: j “Blest be the tie that binds ’ Our hearts in Christian love ; J t’he fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above-” It struck him that her voice was i less like incense now, and more like {melted silver; which was a very good fancy, by the way, and he would { make a note of it against some in- I definite exigencies as class orator. ! “Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares,” faltered the little silver voice ; and so tinkled into this: [s2 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. “When we asunder part, # It gives us iuwurd pain ; But we ahull still be j, ,incd in heart," and he, turning louiul with the audi ence, back to the Uev. Mr. Love, as was the fashion in the Bloomsbury First Church , lifted his face to hers, and their foolish young' e\es met — met ami dropped, and the work was done.— Elisabeth Stuart Phelps. From the New 11 u iTn* R oister. An Obstinate Elephant. 0 Brien’s ineungene- exhibited in Meriden yesterday (Thursday), ac | cording to advertisement, at the usu al grounds on Suite street. Just after the close of tha afternoon per formance the great elephan', Mogul, look it into his head to enact a trag edy not on the hil|» j so walking ma jestically out of bis enclosure, he went for his keeper in a fit of rage. The keeper sought refuge under the cage containing kangaroos, which Mogul disdainfully turned over in a jitly, and walked through the canvass out of doors. Then he w ent on a tour, of inspection, and if not “seeking whom he might devour,” he certainly seemed willing to accommodate any body or anything that might wish tor a set-to. Meeting a pile of lum ber in the adjoining lumber yard, he quickly spread tha boards in good shape for seasoning. Then meeting in his path one of the mules belong ing to the company, he rail h : s tusk completely through its body, pin ning it to the ground, and killing the animal instantly. The next oh. struetion in Ins path was a wagon belonging t 0 Messrs Grether and Hall, which he scornfully seized with his trunk, and raising it, he smashed it to pieces ; then lie return ed to the dead ft)life, and again plung ed his tusks through it, and breaking off bne of his tusks close to the jaw, sauntered carelessly into State street, with none to molest or to make him afraid, the crowd following at a safe j distance behind, while before and about him everybody seemed to he very busy in getting out of his way. I he keeper and oilier attaches of the menagerie soon rallied, and by strate gy and good tai-.ti C9 be was induced to enter a field belonging to Mr. Camp, thence into an orchard, where lie indulged in the pas-time of tear ing and smashing whole lengths of picket fence. Ihe novel method of sutsluing him, temporarily, by shoot ing him in the face and trunk wi it buckshot, was adopted. Some fifty heavy* charges Were fired at him ; the stinging effect acted well as a slight cheek upon his operation, during w-hieh his keeper fearlessly approach ed and chained him to an apple tree aboHt twelve inches in diameter, which was no sooner discovered by the enraged animal than he instantly and without app a eut effort, but with the great' st ease, tore it up by j lb® roots, and again created the . greatest consternation among the | immense orowd who had now col i looted in the immediate vicinity. • All went, and stood r.ot on the order of i S°'ng, but some tall running was . done, and some laughable incidents occurred in the stampede, leavii g the ground free to .\J .gul and his would -1 he raptors. He was, by great daring and agility ! 0,1 *be part of bis keeper, again secured by chaning his bind feet to a very large tree. Here he was left for the night, and a guard stationed with rifles loaded with ball, to kill him should he again break loose dur | ing the night. He was evidently much chagrined a t It is confinement, and continued to snort and struggle to break his chain, affording much excitement throughout the city dur ing the entire but fortunately he was held until about 5 o’clock this morning, wdh the assistance of the entire force of tha dSMern and about 500 citizens, undertook tlie [job of punishing and subduing 'lie monster.

Refusing to surrender, lie was left to his own reflections in this condition, and tlio beating abated for a time. At the present time of jviiting(l2 hours) he seems determined not to succumb. A choice he has of doin'; sc or bein'* killed, ns in his dangerous mood he will not he allowed to rise without evidence of a change of heart. It is estimated that the damage done in his tantrum will cost over seven bun <Jerd dollars. Fortunante it is that no lives were lost. A Novel Invention. There is to he exhilfted at the State fair, in Macon next week, a combination of wood, wire and In dia rubber—a machine—which can take in any language; say anything; pronounce distinctly; laugh, cry, hiss, shriek, squall, sing divinely in alto, soprano and basso; in short, anything of which the human voice is capable. This extraordinary result of ingenuity and preseveranoe consists of a fancy gilded table, benath which is a foot lever for moving a hallows above. On top are a combination of wires, strings, delicati wooden lever, rubber tubes, and trestle-work forming the speaking machine. Behind is a bel lows, which represents the lungs. The air is forced through a narrow aperture iuto a tube representing the wind-pipe, end thence into a large swelling representing the glottis Thence it passes out through avent representing the human mouth, ftitb movable lower jaw, lips and tongue nf India rubber. Wires from below push up the jaw and tongue, in imita tion of the human mouth aud tonooie. giving expression to the sound of the rushing air. These wires, and others which act instead of the teeth, are worked by wooden levers, at the end of which are keys. There were fourteen levers and wires, each creating a different sound when manipulated,and certain combinations ot these sounds produce any sound or syllable asked for. A separate le ver makes a laughing sound. Skillful manipulation of all these levers causes ths artificial mouth to speak as well a 3 lhat of a human being, except that there is no inflection, and the sound of the final d or t is impel feet, being pronounced like tli. The principle is a sort of inverse stenography, coin hi n ii g the component sound of syllables iuto perfect words. A small box, fur nished with piano keys and filled with wire and wooden slate, produces the singing in combination with a mask made in imitation of the human face and its organs of speech. The testi mony of parties who have seen the ma chine is that there is no humbug about it. It is the duly one ever perfected. There have been others invented at different peri oris, but their articu lation has been confine 1 to a few sen tences. This can -ulate am thing. A Bite.— A very important strip ling, whom favoritism had raised to the dignity of quartet msster in a regi ment of infantry, wishing ons day to dismount fiom his horse for the pur pose of wetting his whistle and adjust ing his spurs, called out in very coal man ling tones to a spectator who was standing near; “11-:re, fellow, hold this horse.” “Does he kick?” bawled out the )>er •son ajressed. ■* “Kfck ! no. Take hold of him.” “Does he bite!” “Bite, no ! Take hold of the bridle, I say 1” “Does it take two to hold him ! “No * “Then hold him yourself.”
