No doubt of it, he was'an ugly dog. He

what a poor, intelligen‘ head it was, as,
almost shaving the ground, it looked ap

time. It is a lengthy highway running
amidst a tangled net-work of-sorry streets,
the population. of which, from dusk to
the hour when , the public houses close,
used to spread hungry and kite among
the countless booths which had then not
yet been sweptaway, and where shelfish,
sour fruit, and indigestible-looking meat
were sold by yelling Oostermongers. On
the' night in question, when I went there
in pursuit of the dog, I foresaw that I
should be led to one of those sickly nests
of\ fever, where 'poverty, disease, and mis

there was no room for a cab to pass. I
paid the driver and jumped out. It was
a filthy street, but that was a secondary
matter. Where the dog went I would gu,l
and thus I dodged after him, first dowu a
crooked alley, then through a foul court,
and lastly up a pane where it was
pitched dark. Hero I groped my way
along a damp wall upd stumbled upon the
first strp of a staircase. Being a smoker,
however, I had some vesuvians about me:
I strucr one, lit a piece of twisted paper
with it, and by the moment's flame I
thus obtained described the dog making 1

and growled uneasily. But I softened my

stories in this way until We reached the
garrot floor. There were two doors to
face, and one of them bad a latch with a
piece of string tied to ' it: The string
dangl'd, with a loop at its end, to within
a few inches of .he ground. The dog
ra i se d o ne of his forepaws, pressed it on
the loop, and by this means opened the
door. We both walked in together.
There was a roshlight burning in the
neck of a ginger-beer bottle. There was
an empty saucepan in a grate without
the fire. Sonic tattered clothes were
hanging on the back of a broken chair,
and some bits of plaster, .fallen from a
cracked ceiling, were encumbering the
' floor. On the splintered deal table was a
plate with a solitary bone on it, and next;
to it a cup with a handle gone. I turned
_from the sight of these things to a. mat,

light was rendered so flickering by the
gusts of wind that swept through the
window—to which bits of paper had been

His dogmas continuing to lick biz; face.
I remembered that the' poor brute ,had
not. eaten.
"Your dog must be hungry," I observ
ed ; "shall I give bins this bone? lie has
earned It well ?"
"Oh, God.! oh, God I Let that bone
alcule,", faltered the unhappy wretch, try
ing to rise; "it's my supper for to-night.
Jim doesn't want anything : he picks np
plenty in the streets. Oh oh! I shall
starve if you give him that bone."
"I will buy you something to eat," lan
swered,taking up the bone, on, which Dot
a particle of flesh was left. "Here, Jim,"
said 1, holding it out. But the dog, in
stead of accepting the hone,' looked wist
fully at his master to ask fur leave.
"No .l no! Jim," panted the miser fear
fully ; and the dog turned away bis bead,
refusing to be enticed.
"How long hrve you been laid up like
this?" was my next question. I was
lug aluk ut !mad.
"Ten weeks, si r—oh, ten - weeks." groan
ed the man—who had caught the bone
out of my hand and thrust it under his
pillow—"ten weeks.; and when I fell ill.
the dog went out one morning and
brought me back a penny in bis mouth.
Since then, I bought him a basket, and
he goes out every day—but he's—he's
idle, sir—he's idle ; he brings.me nothing
to what he used to do when we went out
together.' Yes—oh, yes! he's an idle
dog I"

But why prolong such a dialogue ? Is
there anything more depressing than the
eight of moral infirmity coupled with
bpdily disease? This palsied miser was a
rich man, at least rich comparatively to
his station. He had Made himself a small
fortune by the-tntelbgence of his dog, and
his sudden illness, instead of reducing
him to poverty, had, on the contrary, only
added to his means. The dog earned more
alone than he had earned with his master.
Each morning, at the break of day. he
went out with his empty basket, and ev
ery night, at sunset. ho returned with it
half fall. I learned this from the. miser's
neighbors; honest people, though poor.
who pretended to believe in the fevered
wretch's.tale of want in order that he
might not have cause to dread them, and
so refuse their necessary services.
There is a great deal in this innate,
unsuspected delicacy. in the hearts of the
working poor. These rough anduncouth
bnt kindly natures tended the graceless
miser ir, his aicknes's: They. brongh t his
food for him, they waahetrhis linen, and
they asked for no payment for anything
they did. As for the unhappy man's
gold, it was at their mercy, het the
thought of touching it never seemed to
cross their minds.
"Only," said one with a native accent.
"T think, sir, 'twill be better when. he's
laid in the ground. His money mightbe
good then to some re would make of it."
"And the dog?" I murmured •reflect
ively.
"The dog's his friend, sir," was the
laighbor's answer, "and he won't live
long when his master's gone."
And these words were prophecy. I sent
for a doctor, for a nurse, and for nour
ishing' food to battle against death ; but
our effort were melee. The miser lived
a week, and npou each of the seven days
the dog went oataccording to his habit,
with his basket round his neck, and re
mained out for ten or twelve hours,
till
dusk, Sometimes followed . him from
morning till awning; seeing which; and
remembering my fact as that.which stood
daily by his master's bedside, ho wagged
his tail at my approach, and Consented to
walk at my heels. One night-.the miser
died, and on the morrow Tim did not go
out He had missed his master the niabt
before, and guessed that they had put
him in the long black box that stood in
the middle of the room. When the. men.
came to carry away this long black bCisi
the dog went after them and:cried. He
followed the coffin to the temetry.- where
he and. I were the only, speetators,,be
sideaShe curate,the sexton and the under
. taker'e men. When the earth was thrown
in, he looked at me 'plaintively to know
' what it meant, and, when the burial was
over, he wished to remain near, the open
'tomb, waiting till his master ehonld rise.
I took him home with me, but he. would'
,not eat, an I next mornitv , at sunrise- he
howled for his basket. It was; no use
keepi❑g him,.so.l tied the basket round ,
his neck, and sent him out. ,
That evening, forseeing. what would
happen, I went to the cemetery.. The
dog arrived at nightfall, • hie basket:
full of penee,and I turned them all out.
upon the -grave. "Come home,. Jitn,".;
said, with the tears rising-to my eves; but
he whilied. mournfully andlried to Scratch
up the earth. Twice morn he•• went out
like this all-dUy. and brought back money'
for his master; but on the third evening,
finding.that the pence 'on "the grave re,
maioing untouched, ho suffered Inc, with-
out resistancelo takeoff his , collar, aid
lap down at his frill length near the mis
ei's last resting place.
The next morning he did not go on hip
rounds, for ho was dead.
