Parti: In your present state of mind I know it most be as painful for you to receive as for me to impart the in telligence .'that ypur "Ban-d^g" is stiil wmaV-Wo^ rural 'poet'Would call a "hope deferred." I had hoped to luxuriate ere this in the knowledge that you weae as iortunate as 1 in the possession of ono ofthc.se' inestimable treasures, but I am no Jacob to hasten on the natural event among the animal kingdom, and "Ah Sin" remains puppy less?and you are left yet, awhile longer to pine for your "Ban-dog." You know Paid it has often been a matter of* -thoughtful consideration with me .'lljabybu had not long since fathoihed life merits'of a genuine, out-and-out Ban-dog. A Ban-dog is altogether unlike the dog of Jim 1:1 anics Uncle Lent, (see "Roughing it ') and mm securely lie depended on to carry out a special .providence. A properly trained I>a;i 'ddg can do more, to com fort a man who has enemies,- than most any other ngciicy you tire a mind to name. "Dont talk to me 'bout accidents" said Jim Blainc, "there aint no stich things its accidents, l'rovidonccdticl lire no blank calridgos boys. ICvery thiiig that's seen, and aint understood aint an accident." Ono,.Jim lilainc ! Your head's lev* I; there, aint anything like accident about a llan-d?g ! If tiicrea nnytfiun* in'nature that can. he called a surething, a Ban dog fills the hill in my judgment. You seo, a Ban-dog niiit a (hing that you've got to load, and prime, and keep groused and wiped out con tinually. A Ban-dog is all of that already, and all tho time, and jest awatching and awaiting for the sign to tajlc holt. You ain't called on to wait till somebody knocks you first, out of respect for the law?and you ain't obliged to bollur out, "'lake Huh (or her, its t'ac case may he,) Tige "when your feelins gets hurt. All youye got to do is jus, to wait until you catch that Ban-dog's cyo (and if you are in tho habit of telling him to lay hohl of things, ynu never litt! ve to wait long at a time) and when you catch, his eye tho next place you lo k, lib Will look too, and if there is any iiv'c thing a-occupying that spot, that Ban-dog is going to ma?e for il as sure as fate, and if you don't say ''Conic hack," quick, there'll he a Ban-dog' and some other animal, two legged or four, mixed in mortal broil quicker than a cat . can wink) or a carpetbagger cheat a nigger. The beauty of a Ban-dog h that he's got no sense o.'" accountability, lie's got no moral sense. He's <rot no sense. He jest as soon bite contrary \yiniincn or bad children as a bi<c man or a ! stud-horse. If you've got a enemy?it don't! make no cliflere'nee ic/io?and you signify that met to your pet Ban-dog. that enemy becomes A/a enemy, and bo is all tlio time nwailin'ami ahopin' lor the so/u. Some dogs will hite men, but they won't bite wiinuu u: .Some dogs will hite grown nip people, but they, won't ' hite children, good nor had". ?0:1.c dogs will hitcsfrange people, but not them that they know. But yen/lernen 'tain't so with a Ban-dog. ji A Biui dog is bottnd^ to_pite jest whatever you tell him to hite?und-in my judgment, that is something that ought to hiake'you look upon him as a friend in need and a friend indeed There's wimincu that will ?grivate and snssyou scandalously ami you've got no rcmed}?unless you've got a j Ban-dog. But if you've got a Ban-j dog you have a good .remedy, for you : can si'yn that dog to "shct down" and he'll do it, or die. If its one of the.-; skeery wimmen that cam take wni n ning and ".stund from under" when the finger of fate shows in anything, and tin1 dog only happens to get his tcctli full,of dothes; why you can jest take him , by the hind-legs and pull him steady, until you can get a prize betweqn his jaws, and then there'll he !no harm done, hut a sight of good. . But if it should happen to be one o.I these real ]tril(j/t hard?to?dis :eourago wimmen, that needs regener ation njvi nothing.shorter?why, when you see that the Ban-dog ain't got nothing but clothes in his grinders, you jest takes him by the hind-legs, samp as before, aud hi place of pull in' him back steady, you shove him for ward- as if he had made a jump-like, and this is one certain thing about a Ban-dog?if you pull him hack after be lays hohl, he jest only shuts his eyes and falls into acuta lockjaw, but it yon shove him forward he is .?.uro to open Ids mouth and lake in more. (1^., B. , This is a rulo with no ex ceptions.) Well, when you find that bo has meat as well as dry goo.I.-, you brace back and charge around aud pretend to be doing your level best*to balk ..Providence, until that strong minded female falls into the right frame, of mind, and then you prize open tho Ban dog's jaws with a wedge aud lakes him off sure enough There's no instance .of any wimtuen rcquirin two doses r.fthis'treatment. Thorp's j no man that ever owned a Han-dog, that was ever know tobe henpecked. A married man that keeps at Dan-dog- is as free a man (0 eon 10 in lain from the ollioe, or Masonic Hall as a .-ingle man. Be eauso pretty soon wives find out that llan-dog} (if any justice bus boon done their education) will get more excited and ihiniaiuigeiblc at bearing seoldin' and abuse going op, than most any oilier Illing can make them. There's ahle pints about a lhui-dog. "Providence don't lire no blank catridgcs boys."

Paud. Uoiiig to the Oculist. I like to come across a man with the toothache.*' There s something so pleasant about advising him to stuff] cotton in it, to use camphor creosote, .peppermint and "iclief," that I always feel better u$er giving it. I have been there, had an aching snag, ami 1 know just bow it feels. iL used to wake me up at night ami make me niad at noon/and set me to swearing early in the morning. I didn't meet man or womarrbu'twhat they advised me. One said that a hot knitting needle pushed1 down on the root was excellent; another said that opium was an excellent thing; and otlicrssaid that it must be dug out by the dentist. If I sat down fjo dinner, that old tootli began to growl. If I went to bed; or got up, or wentrto a party, or stayed at home, it growled just-the same. It wasn't always'a growl. Sometimes it was a juinptluit made my hair stand up, aud again- a sort of cutting pain tlitit made mis makeup faces at the baby, slam doors and break windows. I ate cotton,peppermint, camphor and opium until I got black in the face, an 1 that old V sang kept, right oil. 1 put bags oTliwashes to my cheek np-; plied mustard; held my head in the oven, took a'NWuil,and the ache still ached. < After the viird week neighbors (1 jiilu't,.

I de cided to, and then 1 decided not to. 1 changed my mind four times in one after >n, and at bist I went. The dentist was glad to see me. He said that if lie could not take the tooth out without hurting me, he would give me a million. It got easier as he talked, and I concluded not to have it pulled. I started down stairs, but a jump caught me, und T rushed back. He. said he would look at it; perhaps it did not iiced pulling at all, hut he could kill the nerve. By dint of flattery he got me in the chair. Then ho softly inserted a knife and cut away the gums. 1 looked tip and said I would kill him, but he begged me not to? said the cutting was all the 'pain there was in it. lie finally gut me to lie j back and open my mouth, and then I he clipped in his forceps, and closed j them round tlio tooth. ''Ohsordordonborosoforsor!" I cried. But he didn't pay any attcn iiou to [ it. He drew a full breath, grasped the. forceps tightly, and then he pulled. Great pooi:.s ! but didn't it serin as if my head was going! I tried to shout, grasped at him, kicked and then lie held up the old snag, and said : "There, I guess you won't feel any more aching." I leaped di ivii and htigged him. 1 promised him ten millions; 1 told him to make my home his house forever; I hugged him again. I shook hand with bvcrybody in the street, kissed my wile, bought the baby a dozen rattle boxes in a heap and it seemed to hie as if the world was too small for me, 1 was so happy. A m wsphper having printed that on a certain occasion "there was a large and respectable meeting," etc.', the reporter was called to account for the statement, there having been only one lithor person hfeidos himself pre sent.
