Uluk K Akekstbom. Caicaoo, September. 1877. DODD’S tragedy. Ho came into the store with a face full of misery, and sat down upon a box beside the stove and begun to cry. It was a queer thing for a man like that to do— a great, rough laborer,fifty years of age or more. Some dreadful trouble must have come upon him to make him show his sorrow in that way without disguise. The strangers stared sympa thetically. Alter a while the propri etor of the store went up to him and said : “You seem to be in trouble can we help you any 7” The mau did not look up; he shook his head and said : “No, no, no ! It’s very kind of you, but nobody can help me. 1 suppose you th uk I’m an old fool ; but she was all the family I had, and she’s dead,” and a great tear splashed down upon the floor “She’s dead. You can’t do me any good row ; but if you’d come around to my little shanty there about 9 o’clock last night you might have done some good — l dunno. v/hen a man is deter mined to make a brute of himself he’d do it, perhaps ; but if here and been some one there to say ; “Dud, what on airth are you about?” YVhy.rnabbe —1 dun no tho’ —1 was mad When a man it* mad, and has had a glass too much what’s the use of talking to him ? It’s fixed things for me. Any waj —Lord forgive me !—she’s dead.” ihe tears sphuhed down again, but the people looked at him with laces that had lost a little of their syuipa. thy. “ You didn’t—didn’t do anything to bring it on —whatever it was ?” said ao old lady with a large basket on her arm “I shouldn’t have thought it of you ” “Yes, I did—l did,” sobbed the man. “If it hand’t been for me it never would have happened. I uid love her too Yes, I did love her Nobody could say she’d ever a hard word from me before in all the days we’d lived together; but last night I’d a glass too much, and I stopped at the butcher s down in the village and bought a bit of steak—a mau wants a change from pork once in a way —and she was fond oi steak, aud I just fetched it in and said to ber : “We’ll havo a suppei to-niuht eh?” and she sort of nodded and winked at me just as jolly, and then i went out to the well to draw water, and as a body does when anybody is in a hurry, I lost the bucket off, and was a terrible time finding it, and when I went in—well you see,l went in with an appetite—and there sat, aud—well, I ain’t dainty, but I couldn’t have touched that steak to save me—and I got mad. W 11, I got madder than I ever was before, kick Yes, I did. If I was to for it to-morrow, I’d haye to own up. I kick ed hr.’ “You brute ! kicked her because your steak didn’t suit you ! Well may you cry,” said the old woman with the has ket. “Yes’m, you can’t speak harder to me than I feel to myself. I kicked her in the side, and, what is more I opened the door and kicked her out of it and. then I jest sat down by my fire and talked the worst kind to myself—Lord forgive me ! and I said I d never let her in again And then I went to Led. •‘Went to bed anu left her out in the cold? Never seeing whether she was dead or alive,” said the old lady “Yes, I did,” said the poor man, sob bing hard, “and more than that, I went to sleep—l slept sound, too; and what do you suppose waked me 7 Why, her voice—l knew it lrom a thousand. — It was the awi'ullest shriek, and then another, and then auothcr, and it can e all over me what I’d done. Id turned her that had slept alongside of me win ter nights more years than I could re member out into the cold night. Id kicked her out. Oh ! I was sober then, I tel! you I saw what a brute I was to do a thing like tnat, all for a bit of paltry steak, and I got up and went to ihe door and 1 called, but she didn't come. I called again, and then I heaid her scream, but fainter and lurther off; and then I felt a kind of hoiror come over me, uud I dressed myself and took my lantern and went out.

She lay along side the pond, and ber gray hairs were dabbled in blood, and the mark of the dog’s teeth were on her neck ; and I jest took her up in my arms and carri ed her along the road bone, and brought her to the fire, and there I cried over her and called her all the pet names I used to call her when I first had her a little, youm* thing; but it wasn’t any use —she was jest as stiff aDu cold, and I laid her on the bed, and there she’s laid ever since. OS ! it’s dreadful !” “Yes, and you deserve to be hung,” •aid the old lady ; “but, now, suppose she isn’t dead, and maybe she isn’t.— Let us go over With you, aud stop and fetch the doctor. Folks have been drought to that seemed dead. Anyway, it’s all right.” “Well, I’ll do it,” said the man; “but it’s no use, I know.” The proprietor of the store called his wife to wait on it, and he headed a pro cession of his customers, and they all went down to Dodd's cabin, nailing on the doctor as they pasted his house, and taking him with them. But when tliy came to the lonely little house no one cared to be the first to go in ; but at last the doctor, as being be*t used to such tbi ’gs, opened the door and ntepped in. It was a mean little room, aud furnished only with a table, two chairs, some shelves, and a bed, and on ibis bed sat an old gray eat washing her face As soon as Dodd’s eye rested on this an’trial he uttered a cry of joy, aud flew to her side; but she at once set up her back and uttered a loud “Mee-ow,” while her tail swelled to immense pro portions.” “Oh, l duu’t mind—l don’t nuind,” said Dodd ;“I deterve you should be mad at me—anything, anything, so as you re alive. She's to ue to life again. Glory, glory, gWry !” “Why, you don’t mean to say yon were talking about a cat all the while 7” screamed the woman with the basket.— You said she didn’t cook your meat pn perlv, and ” “Ma'am,” said Dodd, “I meant to say she eat most of it for me, and tore ami chawed what she didn’t, eat; but she’s welcome. So that she’s alivo, l dun t care. Though she’s weaned from me ; L see that Our happy times are over ; she doubts me.” •‘Galled me iu to see a cat ) iudeed!”said the duct- r “Left my business for a cat!” cried the storekeeper. “Oit, what an old fool !” said the wo man. “Miaow !” yelled the attendant train of bovs ; but old Dodd never looked at them He liteued to none of their in sults, and they left him doing his best, rvitb tears in his eyes, to get that of fended cat to take a little milk from a saucer that he held before her lips, and saying : “Ob, make up, pussy ; your own Dodd will never do it any more/’ Sold as *‘ Pure Liquor.” Cos sumers as well as retail dealers in liquors will be interested in the follow ing particulars aslative to the adulters lion of liquors of every kind by the wholesale importers of this city. From the facts given it will be seen : I. That fully one-half the *• import ed ’ liquors sold here are of American manufacture. 11. That not only the brands, but tie stamped corks of fatuous foreign houses are largely imitated in this country by imposters of the best credit and stand ing. 111. That importers regular’y adul terate their imported liquors and sell them to th i retailers as pure bonded li quors. IV. That the retailers then adulterate them s second time, and sell them thus doubly poiaouedacross the bar todeluded customers. V. That iD this imposition on the re tailer, the importer has f he aid of the keepers of the Government bonded Ware houses The ability of purchasers to judge of the quality of samples is artfully as certained before sales are effected, aod the adulteration is made accord ngly.— In nine casus out of ten the buyer is incompetent to judge, and even when the cask deliveied is far below the grade of the sample selected, the buyer is cintent to trust the marks of the bood* ed warehouse as full guarantee that ha has received the article wLioh he pur chased. An investigation of this 6yHem of swindling, so far at least as the G'-vern meit bonded warehouse is concerned, has been made, and facts hafe be* n ob tained involving many of the largest importing houses in the liquor trade in the city — Yeto Ytrk Tribune. “Cora, if I were you I should be afraid of having bad lucic.

Most people would like to be hand* some. Nobody denies the great power which any one may have who has a handsome face and attracts you by geod looks, even before a word has been spo® ken. And we see all sorts of devic s in men and women to improve their looks. Now, all oannot have good features —they arc as God made them—but al most anyone can look well, especially with good beahh. It is hard to give rules m a very short space, but in brief these will do : Keep clean—wash freely. All the skin wants is leave to act freely, and it takes caro of itself. Its thousaads of air-holes must not be oloeed. Eat regularly, and sleep enough— not too much The stomach can no more work ail the time, night and day, than a horse. It must have legulat work aDd rest. Good teeth ate a help to good looks. Brush them with a soft brash, especial, ly at night. Go to bed with cleansed teeth. Of course to have white teeth it is needful to let tobacco alone. All women know that. Washea for the teeth should be very simple. Acid will whitens the teeth, but it takes off the enamel stud injures them. Sleep in a cool room,in pure air. No ooe can have a dean skin who breathes bad air. But more than all, wake up mind and Soul. When the mind is wake, the dull, sleepy look paeses away from the eye.— I do cot know that the brain expands, but it seeios so. Think, and read, nut novels, bat papers that have something in them. Men saj lbey cannot afford books,and sometimes do uot even pay for a news >apcr. lu that cave it does them little good, they fed so mean while reading them. if all the money spent in self indulgence, iu hurtful in dulgence, was spent in books or papers for self improvement, we Should see a change. Men would grow handsome, and women, too. The soul would shine out through the eyes. We were not meant to bts mere animals. Let us have books sad read them, and sermons and heed them.

Brevities. —People who affect a shortness of sight must think it the height of good fortune to be born blind.

It is giviug to gnats the fangs of vipers. The heart of a great man, surround ed by poverty and trammeled by depen dence. is like au egg q a nest bu It among briurs. It must cither curdlv into bitterness, or if it take life and mount struggle through thorns for the •scent.

J Brilliants. —lt is far easier to feign respect when we do not feel it than to express it wh*n we actually do; for which reason frank.straightfor ward people always appeared hypocriti cat to suspicious ones. The very fear of seeming deceitful makes us seem sc. Some there are who pave intently in to the well of truth, but only in hopes of seeing their own image reflected there. Fancy rules over two-thirds of the universe, tbo past the future, while reality is confined to the present. Men get fond of the very defects of a woman they lore—as they do of cho colate and tobacco, though horribly un* palatable at first. Good sense is the body of poetic gen ius ; fancy, its drapery: motion, its life ; aid magnetine, the soul, that is everywhere, forming all into one grace, fui and intelligent whole. Little minds rejoice over the errors of men of geniuus,aa the owl rejoices at an eclipse. Gray hairs seem like the light of a soft morning,silvering over the evening of life. Wnat She Aaked Tommy, fie was named Tommy and she was named Jane. They sat on a hotel baL cony for three long hours, and giving themselves away as being dead out-of towners. As they sat down, Thomas took one of Jane’s bauds. She allowed that sort of thing to go on without a word of protest, and the youth finally seised the other one.— They talked aod talked, and looked down upon the street, and sighed and hours slipped. At the end of the third hour she said : "Tommy, dearest, I want to ask you someth og.” “Ask me a hundred—a thousand— million things!’ he exclaimed in re. ply. “Well, Tommy, I’ve got an awful cold in my head,” she continued, "and if I draw one of my hands away and wipe my uose would you think I was mad? I’ve ei‘her got to do that i Tommy or let my nose wipe itself, and then you may have it l a k.” Tommy released her hvnd, though he hated to,and her Dote was softly and du ly wiped. j They say that while “a man who shota New York lawyer began to pros- 1 per right away, Landis, who shot a New Jersey editor, lost his property, his wife got a divorce, and he is fast becoming a lunatic.” This clearly ess tablishes the fact, which we have stren uously endeavored for years to number among the fixed and most salutary con* victions of the reader, that the loftiest achievement of the human mind is to know whom to shoot. 1 An officer had a woodeu leg so ex ceediagly made that it oould scarcely be distinguished from a real one.— ( During a battle a cannon ball carried it off.
