" I'm afraid that ita far more likely to be a mutinous than a loyal regiment, Pat, but, by Jove, here comes those with whom we are mere immediately oocoerned.

"Right you are, Pat, rejoined his master cheerfully, and away they atretohed again across the level plabi, almost aa noiselessly as though they had been spectres, for there was no thud of the steel shod hoofs rpon the desert sand, and they were too excited any longer to converse. Nellie Trezarr would ever and anon look back over one of her snowy shoulders to see for herself whether their parsuera aeemed to gain upon them, whenever ahe Imagfaied that each was the case her cheeks would blanidi still paler aud afte would bite her oherry ripe Upa with her little pearly teeikh in the attempt to maater all ahow of emotion.

The lovugf^rl madb no answer at the' time,: thoo^ trath.tot^ her lover's re- mark did not at all tend to reassure her. la silence ahe more fearfully regarded that mysterious something which she half saw and half felt was before them than the more certain perU that Was fsMt coming up with them from behind. She noticed the entire heavens rapidly reddening, aa with a dull, lurid smd yet faint sunset glow, whfist in tin far diatsmoe, where the desert horiami had hitherto been sharply defined againiit tbeuatil' now dark Indigo blue of the sky, she beheld what ap- peared like a brick colored fog, advandng silently across the apparentiy boundless plain, A few minutes more and ahe knew that she was not mistaken, but by that time the fog more nearly resembled enrolling clouds of denae amoke, with here and there the red flame of cannon flaahlng through. A rear alao aa of many cannon, yet per- haps more like the oontinnoua rumble of thunder amongst mountains, osate from its rear, and ao terrified now did Nellie Ixcome that ahe found It impossible to help gaaping out: "Oh, Gkd I aomething terrible is abont to happen. I feel anre that there la death to ua all in yonder aloud. Death from whioh there la no eaoape." Frank Donelly, impreaaed.by thoee fear- aome worda and the fervor with which they were ottered, for thefirat time bestowed hia real attention on what, hitherto deem- ing to be an Imaginary peril, he had taken little notice of.

At the meeting of the British Aaaodatlon at Aberdeen, aaya an article credited to "Exchange," In the Brooklyn Eagle, Sir John Lubbook read a paper on the intelli- genoe of the dog. Sir John remarked that it wai aui^rlsli^ how littie we know about the true natureof animals. This, he thought, arose very much from the fact that hitherto we have med to teach animals, instead of to learn from them to mike, for instanoe, the aog understand ns, r^ither than to nnder- stand the dog. He suggested that some each system as that adopted with deaf mutes, and eapeoially by Dr. Howe in tiie case of Laura Bridgman,^ might be tried with advantage. For this pnrpoee he had select- ed a blaok poodle. Van, and then presented pieces of cardboard ten inches long by three feet wide, on which he printed words suoh as "food," • water," "tea," and no one who had seen "V^an look dowa a row of cards and pick out the one he wanted could doubt that he was able to distinguish the differ- ent words, and quite understand that a card was equivalent to a request. The carda wf re certainly not recognized by acent, be- cauae he naed a number of each. He ang- geated that aome one with suffirient leisure might carry this much further, and the at' tempt would be well worth making. Prof. Flower mcnUened that he had seen within the last few days a dog whioh knew tiie re- turn of Sunday. Nothing oeald Indnoe the dog to go ont with him' though on other days when he took his stiok smd hat he showed great anxiety to go with him. Prof. Flower attaohed great impertaiipe to kind- ness in the teafihlng of animals. Miss Kath- arine Wray gave an intereeting aooonnt ef how, in three weeks, by meana of a bene attaohed to the doer bell, ahe had taught the dog to ring the beU. Mr. C. C. Walker mentioned that he knew a family whioh had taught Ita dog to howl at the bkto opposi- tion and ahow great fntertot at the mention ofthelatogovemmsnt. If re. Stokes thought that some minds seemed to have a greater power of oommanioation with animals than others, and she mentioned an English pro- fessor who seemed to have the power of oall- ing blida from the aky.

Of coarse there are times when a .aallor'a dutlea will be rough, rade, and atottay, like the raging, elements aroaad him. Daring the Btrasa of a gale, and while a ship is be- ing navigated through difficult and narrow channels, a sailor's first and all-abtorbing dn y is to watch the hand and listen to the voice of the officer in command, and un- hesitatingly obey. Workâ€" hard, icearse, difficult, dangerous workâ€" beoom^ then' the order of the day. Bnt eVenId dark- neaa and la atorm, amidat the fary ef the gale and the wild aweep of the threatening waves, amidst thunders and lightnings, ter- rors from the sky and terrors from tto deep, it is wonderful how a serene, devont, in- tolUgent, earnest mind, previously disolp- Uaed by ita stadles and refleottOBS, may take In a deep imbibing of beanty and con- solation. It mentally sees a lattltode of calm above the oirole of the storm, and In- wardly hears amidst the deaf eidng olamours of exalted natare the sweet whisper, " It Is I be not afraid I" There Is no reason in the natare of things why even the most il- literate of sailors should not, by and by, and after mach training, attain to tUs spiritual susoeptiblllto, this capacity to take in grand Ideas and hbly conaolationa even in the nddat of life'a atemeat trialaand dark- eat torrora. Hampton Gonrt and Genenl VolMy It haa been aaggeated that It waa in a vanlt of thia palace that the incident cocor- red whhdt opened Henry'a eyea to the wesJto acquired by hia favorite cardinal. Aa the atoiy goea, tiie king'k fool waa pay- ing a vtait to the oardlnaL'a tool, and thejo- ooae couple went down in to the wine vaulta. For fun, one of them ataek a dagger or some otiier pointed lastmment into the top of a cask, and to his surprise, touched something that chinked like metal. The meddlesome pair upon this set to work, and pushed off the head of the cask, discovering that it was full of gold piecea. Other oasks by their sounds, gave indications that they held wine, and not gold. The King's fool Btired up this secret, and one. day, when Henry 'VIIL was' boasting about his wine, the fool said, satfarioall/, " Yon have not such wine, sire, as my Lord Cardinal, for he has oasks in his cellar worth a thousand broad pieces each," and then he told what he hal detected. Waether this be true or not, it Is certain that Wolsey wat so far awake to the f^ot that he was so suspected by the monarch aa to deem it prudent te present him with Hampton Court.
