ap|)lHtidetl canine attachment, and shook our
heads at canine hydrophobia—but we doutt
whether the claims of dugs have ever been
properly advanced in i philological point of
view- whether their service to --ur language
has ever been properly pointed out—whether
aiming die various kimls of assisiance they
render us, there has ever yet been demonstra
ted the aid they afford in constructing figures
of speech—in rearing up and pushing into bud
and blossom some of our most common flowers
of rhetoric, and ahts! also the fatal effects
which sometimes arise from the practice.
Many, certainly, are the services we exact
front our four-footed friend. Some of them
jump into the water after our sticks; others
are laboriously instructed in the ttccomplish-
raent of sming on their hind legs with n piece
of bread upon their noses; a pointer mds ns in
getting hold ol u few plump parlridges; and a
lurnspit helps—or used to help to cook them.

And Low this is—and iliut ibis is—will be
s -own nnd proved by the annexed short biog-
ran y of T"iim *s Lidl r.
Wh it Tom was a Imhy, he was very like
other balnes—t al ts lo any, be bad a face like
a dumpling, nnd liiile fat mouled arms and
legs. N-'Verilicb-ss liis mother s<i<l H>at he
was the image nf lus father—as doubtless afer
the way of wom<*>. she would have said had
h« been b*>r*. with tb-< back of the head turned
t*> the front. Tom crowsrt and chirped, und
chirruped, after tlie manner of other pledges,
und Mr. Lidler, s* mor, taking him in lus aims,
swore lie w-'S n heaftv li ile dog—a jolly little
dog—a rosy little dog—a plump little dog-”
Here was the beginning ol Tom’s fst*', dimly
foresRadowed in bei g called a dog. Ho was
ever afterwards a dog of some kind or another.
Years passed on Tom discaided petticoats
and took to trow-ers. His favorite pursuit
was breaking windows, playing truant, turn
b'nng into the river, ind tumbling down from
lives. His mother was always in imt water
it bout him; but Mr. Li.iler taking a compre
hensive v*ew of the m-iiter, onl.- laughed, pa'd
for die broken glass, and interceded wilh tlie
schoolmaster.
* Wild young dog,’ wou'd Mr. Lidler say,
iifier bestowing « senti-serious lecture upon
his -on and heir—‘wild jroung dog—no man
aging him—never mind, lie’ll sober down—a
ftisk> young dug—we w> re all young once.’
Bui the frisky young dog «iid not sober down
—on tlie contrary—the tncaphorical tipsii ess
increased. Tom went to a public school—he
never learnt his lessons.
‘Carehss young dog,’ said Papa Lidler;
•must he mote attentive next ye*r—very bad
accounts of you from Dr. Wakbov—you’re
an idle dog. T**m—an idle dog.’
Sent home front schoil for thrashing the
usher, Tran was only scolded as an incorrigible
young dog; arid canuht winking at ih<- maids
— was hail' fl tie ed as a slv o Presently
Torn -ei up fur a mao rai town—the pecul ar
eq ein - f-> tl.-- charaeter, liei g a enpa-
hi ily fordoing any tiling but what is respecl-
-1)1., and bei-onii aan\ thing <ut what >s useful.
In this d'S!inuiij-he<l proiessio" Tom m-tde
utucu pi ogress. He lounged in tobacco-shops
and loitered in hilli.ird-ronms—he cut respecta
ble “fathers of families,” and became intimate
with fighting men—he ran up unheard-of bills
for fashionable Chesterfields, and maintained
that no g -ntleman could exist without three
dozen pair of boots—promising to pay was so
easy. However, to prevent tbe boots from
wearing out too soon, he was careful to keep a
tandem, and if he went into suspicious company
at nights, it would keep him out of worse. Add
to this, that he let his moustaches grow, and
never came home till three in the morning.
“And pr-.y how dees my friend Tom get on?”
inquired a respectable oil-merchant of Mr. Lid
ler in the latter’s counting house.
For the first time on being asked such a
question, Mr. Lidler half shook his head and
half sighed.
“Aim!” said he, “Tom is a sad dbg—he is
not all the sort of thing—not what I hoped—
a sad dog—a sad dog.”
Now let it be remarked that there is a wide
difference between a wild dog and a sad dog.
Of the wild dog you have much hope—of the
sad dog far less—the latter is a deep step in the
downward progress.
Tom’s companions, however, entertained ve
ry different opinions as to his character from
those so sorrowfully held by his father and Mr.
John Jarr, the oil-merchant in the city. Al
though bis first aspiring to tiieir society had
been check' d bv the information that he was a
“young whelp,” yet at length they condescend
ed to talk of him as a ‘‘devilish gentlemanly
dog.” Tom had money at his command—his
jokes were therefore listened to with ringing ap
plause—and he wa; a “funny dog.” He paid
tavern bills, and he was a “jolly dog.” Had
he not bad money, he would have been a “low
dog,” and had he refused to throw it away, he
would have been a “stingy dog.”
Tlie old term “dog” was not now, however,
always applied to Tom. Although the invari
able progress of the four-footed animal itself is
—puppy first—dog afterwards—its nominal
fellow-being, man, may pass through his dog-
hood first—into hispuppyhood afterwards. So
was it with Tom. Miss Arabella Jarr, the rich
heiress of ol d Jarr, had been "nee Tom’s flame,
and she still entertained a sort of sneaking kind
ness for her old dancing-school partner; but an
apparition ofTom—bo-ringleted, and be-mous-
inched—swaggering ahout with half-a-dozen
youths of die same kidney, talking loud, laugh-
ing louder, and behaving in every respect very
unlike well-conducted young gentlemen—
shocked her. Miss Arabella liked quiet yo-itig
men—site hated “puppies.” Mr. Tom was a
“puppy,” and so she excluded him from a
chance either for her heart or her fortune.
But Tom cared not. He continued to unite
the “puppy” with the “jolly dog.” His father
died. His mother had done so before. Now
ought Tom to have been a “sorry dog,” but he
was not—that was to come ai a future stage.—
He set industriously to work to make less of the
li’tle he inherited—and was pronounced an “un
feeling dog.”
An<i nrav was uur hero approaching that'fa
tal term when tlie appellation of dog which he
bad so long borne in st> many senses—which
his fin her hail called him when crowing in the
innocence of childhood—when frolicking in the
carelessness of boyhood —when rushing on de
struction with the impetuosity of manhood-
must b* exchanged for harsher terms. He got
through the puppy stage and hia father’s prop,
erty together. The three dozen pairs of boots
were marvellously diminished—Ins coats were
fashionably cut, yet threadbare—his air had all
the swagger of old and none of the lingering re
spectability. His quondam friends cut him as
a “shabby dog.” He was seldom seen in the
day, but nt night he frequented flash billiard
rooms—conversed confidentially with markers,
nnd with his napless hat slouched over a keen
eye, watched for a symptom of “greenness” in
any of the company.
Sometimes he would single out a stout, jolly-
look ng gentleman, with fresh rosy cheeks, a
country accent,—aud a sort of clovery smell,
with a dash of new milk in it—about him, a
“hearty dog” in short, and manage to engage
him in pleasant conversation. If he hud not
much wit, Tom had sharpness and readiness—
the country gentleman was delighted. Tom
would put him up to all the sharpers in town—
of course he would—although the marker did
irreverently stick his tongue in his cheek—
champagne corks would fly—a game at billiards
be proposed and accepted.
“Tom Lidler, that, sir,” whispers the mark
er to the country gentleman, “regular top-saw
yer—jolliest dog alive.”
Now to be occasionally called a “jolly dog”
by our equals is very well—but the appellation
has a wiilely different meaning coming from
our inferiors.
Well, the game would go on—the click of the
balls responded to by the chink of the gold
which sparkled brilliantly upon the tight green
c ] 0 ih—below the flaring gas-lights. More
champagne—that is for the country gentleman.
Tom somehow preferred water just then. High
er stakes—more agitated stocks—the country
gentleman in a perspiration—Tom cooler and
cooler.
•‘Damnation. Twenty pounds gone in half
an hour. Never pi ay od so ill in all my life—
by the way, Mr. Lidler —”
But Mr. Lidler. seeing all that had been lost
and won likely at tlie moment to change hands,
had quietly slipped away.
“He is gone sir,” tlie marker would say.—
“Never stays after a good hit—knowingest dog
alive, Lidler.”
But Tom h id not always such luck—or if he
had he squandered the proceeds as soon as he
clutched them. Mis lace was bloated—his eye
bloodshot—liis clothes,seediness struggling with
smartness. His haunts became lower and low
er, his habits worse and worse. His quondam
friends knew him no more. Where lie lived, or
how he lived none could tell. Sometimes,
however, as lie hurried along nameless by
streets in the dusk <>r at night, lie would meet
former acquaintances—people whose tavern
bills he used to pay—and in humbled, broken
accents would implore a small loan a little as
sistance—any tlnng. How these applications
fared, tbe following dialogue will show :
“I say, Hawkins, guess who I met ihe other
night when I was going to the Opera?”
°‘*Not ttiesbgiitest idea in the world, Wilkins,
my boy. None of your creditors, 1 hope-”
“No—that fellow, Lidler—and, as I am alive,
lie had the impudence to make up to me—of
course I would have nothing to do with him—
a low hound.”
“Oh, of course. I say, poor devil, what a
dog’s life he must lead of it—eh?”
And Tom, as he had always been called a
dog of some sort, did lead it dog’s life.
At length he mustered up courage, and de
termined to make one last effort to reirieve his
fallen fortunes. Miss An be]la Jarr was still a
maiden heiress—Hawkins was a suitor for her
hand.
“If once [ could get on my legs again,” soldo-
quized Tom, “I feel I could be an honest man.
I have sinned, but I have suffered—Arnb-lla
may pity me yet. and pity is akin to love. Yes,
I’ll make the dash—old Jarr was my old friend
—I’ll try it.”
So Tom furnished himself up as well as ho
could, and sent in his card to the domicile of
the Jarrs. Miss Arabel le whs knitting Berlin
wool, and Hawkins was making love after hia
fashion—ihat is, talking nonsense—but Arabel
la liked love making after any fashion.
“Mr. Thomas Lidler,” she said, reading the
card.
For a moment something like hesitation
came over her features.
“ ’Tis five years since I saw him,” she mur
mured.
“You would not know him, he’s turned such
an ugly hound; besides, quite disreputable,” said
Mr. Hawkins, carelessly.
Miss Arabella tossed the card into the fire.
“Not at home.”
Then both peeped out of the window to see
the unfortunate Tom retire.
“Did you ever see such ‘a hang-fog look’ ns
that, my dear Miss Jarr?” questioned ihe lover.
“Never,” replied the loved one.
Though well nigh hopeless, Tom d< tnrminod
to catch at one straw more. Mis-- Jarr would
do nothing for him for love, would old Jarr do
any thing for old friendship—lor pit v?
Tom wrote a dismal, penitential letter to the
(now) retired oil-merchant. It was straight
way deposited where the card had been con
signed before.
“The fawning spaniel,” exclaimed old Jarr;
“lie used to cut me when he dashed about in his
cab.”
‘•An ill-conditioned cur,” said Hawkins, the
bridegroom.
“I always thought be was an impudent pup
py,” chimed in Arabella, the bride.
What became of Tom for several years
thereafter is not well known.
An old acquaintance put the question to Haw
kins.
“How the devil should I know,” answered
that gentleman; “he went to the dogs long ago.”
Alas, poor Tom! he had never been from, the
dogs.
He was found half dead upon a door-step,
and Wilkins’ footman drove him off for an idle
dog. Could he find no place to lie down at but
their door.
At length be died in a ditch—like a dog.
An inquest was held, and Hawkins was on
thejury. Tho verdict was brought in, “Death
from exposure and starvation.”
“Ab,” said Hdwkins to the coroner and liis
fellow-jurymen, “I knew him once when he
was a gay man on town—nothing but dash, and
glitter, and show—spent hundreds in white kid
gloves, and Eau de Cologne. Well, well,
those were the times—but every dog has his
day.”
On Tom’s tombstone was written
BEWARE OF THE DOG.
Tom, in reality, died of moral hydrophobia.
His case is a specimen of the evil we must ex
pect to reap alone with the good. There are
many dogs usefuland rational—there are a fow
mad and noxious. Tom’s was of the latter
class. He was a victim to canine influence
over the parts of speech—to the general aid in
phraseology, furnished by the general and indi
vidual peculiarities of the inmates of the ken
nel.
We have proved tbe rule by the exception—
but let no one deem the exception tlie rule.—
Our language pays homage to our canine com
panions—so may our fortunes and our lives.—
Tho Dog-star is the most potent "f its compeers
—we have seen the career of the man born un
der it.
From the Farmer's Cabinet.
DIFFICULTY IN CHURNING BUT
TER, OBVIATED.
The last number of the Cabinet contains an
appeal to its editor and readers, on tbe difficul
ty of making butter in the winter—which, from
its interesting source—“Young Wives”—
seems calculated to elicit prompt reply. The
following, which appears to embrace the truo
principle, and to be conclusive on the subject,
is the result of the experience of a noted agri
culturist, W. Allen, ofN. Andover,(Mass.)and
was published in the New England Farmer
of Jan. 14th, 1835;—
“Having thought much on the subject, and
experienced all the uncertain resulis of which
others complain, I have been led to the con
clusion—which experiments have confirmed—
that there is a certuin degree of heat, could it
be ascertained, to which the cream might be
raised, which would ensure a quick process r
tbe formation and separation of the butter f • ■
the whey or milk, at tlie same time presi
the quality of the butter, and prevent that ft
iness and softness which are the never failing
result of long continued churning.
“To ascertain the degree of heat necessary
to insure a short process, we heated the cream
to abojt72 or 73 degrees—this, with heat in
the churn, which was scalded with hoi ing wa
ter, gave to the cre.'iiu about 75 degrees heat.
In six or seven trials, during the months of No
vember and December, ihe longest process in
churning was twenty minutes, the shortest ten.
the butter lias been unifoimly sweet and hard,
and in nothing inferior to that made in Octo
ber, except its color. The last churning was
on the 30th of December last, I attended to
the whole process carefully. The cream
when first put into the churn, was at 80 de
grees—I waited till tlie heat had fallen to 75
degrees, and immediately began ihe operation:
the butter was formed and ready to take out of
the churn in just ten minutes. By the way, I
use, and have for several years, a rocking churn,
and think it the best, all th ngs taken into view,
that ha» ever been in use in New England.
“N, B. Since writing the above, one of my
neighijors, hearing of my successful experi
ments, called on me to borrow my thermome
ter, [the instrument costs about a dollar,] to
make a similar experiment. He informed mo
that their two last trials to make butter, after
churning twenty four hours, had been unsuc
cessful. They accordingly prepared the cream
as above directed, heating to 75 degrees—the
butter came in five minutes—was hard anti
good for winter butter.”
