He said that the dg had been a very useful animal, and had helped to protect his property by guarding it from wild beasts, and also in hunting and destroying them; but he feared he would be useleee for the time to come.

this? and why should not his dog be as useful as formerly? As for the injury done, that was but an accident, and the testament could be replaced by another copy. "That is true," said the poor man, "but still I am afraid the dog will be of no further use to me. The words of the New Testament are full of love and gentleness, and after the dog has eaten them, it is not likely that he will hunt or right for me any more."
The followng story was probably an old one in 1864, but it will always, no matterjiow often told, have a great moral value, for there is a great lesson in it. We publish it that you may paste it in your scrap book:
"How Near to the Precipice?—A rich man wanted to hire a coachman, some skillful driver who could manage a pair of spirited horses. At the hour he appointed, four men came to try to get the place. Turn ing to the one nearest him, he said
"How near can you drive to a precipice and not go over?"
"Oh!" answered the man, "I can go within three feet of it."
The second man said:
"Sure, and I can . go within two feet of the bank." '
But whilst he was speaking, a strong man, with a brawny arm, lifted his head and said:
"Indeed, I have been six inches from the very edge and drove away safe."
The gentleman turned to the only one who had not yet spoken, a small, mild looking man, whom the others thought would never be in their way. To him he said:
"I suppose you can go nearer than that?"
"No, sir!" answered he with determination, "it is my rule to keep as far from danger as possible."
"You are the man for me," said | the gentleman; "I do not wish to hire anyone to see how near he can drive my family to destruction."
This is also no doubt an old one, but is very appropriate today:
"A friend, says an exchange, returning from a depot a few mornings since with a bottle of freshly imported 'Maine aw,' saw a young lady whom he must inevitably join. So, putting the bottle under his arm he softly walked alongside.
" 'Well" aaid the young lady, after disposing of health and weather, 'what is that handle under your arm ' from which she discovered a dark fluid dropping.
" 'Oh, nothing but a coat the tailor has been mending for me."
" 'Oh, a coat, is it? Well, you had better carry it back and get him to s«w up one hole more—it leaks.' "
The American of November 4, 1864, just three days before the election, is very mueh agitated over the independent candidacy of Richard Grason for Judge, and this candidate received more space than all the rest of the ticket. Since Judge Grason afterwards became a distinguished member of the Court of Appeals and served the people for many years, and is remembered by many now living, we reprint herewith two of the leading editorials of that date:
"Circuit Judge.—We would warn the unconditional Union party of Baltimore county of a conspiracy that has been entered into between a few disappointed factionists and hypocritical agitators of the Union party in Baltimore county, who have at length shown their cloven foot by a coalition with the traitors for the purpose of making a Circuit Judge of one of the most prominent rebels of the county. They have invited our neighbor, Richard Grason, Esq., of whom as a citizen, we can say no ill, but can say that of '19th of April, 1861' notoriety he stands No. 1, to be an independent Candi-

date, just as if such shallow device could deceive honest loyal men. These men are now in their proper company, their loved professions of loyalty are now fully understood. We trust that every true unconditional Union man will spurn these miserable time-serving wretches and Hessian politicians, and go to the polls to a man and vote the ticket as it stands at the head of this paper."
The Judgeship.—Richard Grason, Esq., is presented as an Independent Candidate for Circuit Judge of Baltimore county, and being an active and open sympathizer with the se-cesh party of the county since the 19th of April, 1861, which no one of ordinary intelligence will deny, as he took a conspicuous part with his fellow rebels in their efforts to carry Maryland out of the Union, and perhaps to the present day he has been the most efficient and influential leader in their ranks yet, this modest gentleman presents himself as a no party candidate to catch the votes of loyal men. How is it, we would enquire, that he was not nominated on the rebel ticket made at this place on Saturday last by the rebel convention then assembled? Why, we would enquire, was there no nomination made by this cabal for the office of Circuit Judge? The reason is to us transparent, and should deceive no one, if there was no other reason but the facts stated.
It is, however, well known that certain men calling themselves Union men par excellence and who are well known and well marked too, who have partially arranged this scheme to put a well known rebel on the Bench to gratify their selfish and dishonorable deeds. Such men are no less traitors to the Union cause than the man whom they would elevate to that important position, and in due time their names will be published to the world. They will, as they should,
stink in the nostrils - of the truly loyal party of Baltimore county for all future time, and we call upon loyal men in all parts of the county to watch all of them closely and hand in their names for publication, hereafter." *
