"Splish—splaShl" went that wretched dog through the mud, his ears hanging down, and his tall between ble legs. "Oh, the ugly dog!" cried two young girls who were carrying home clothes from the -wash. "Oh, the ugly brute!" shouted a carter, and he gave his whip a loud crack to fright: en him. But the dog took no heed of any of them. Re ran patiently on, only stop ping at the crossings when there were too many carriages for him too pass, but not seeming to busy himself at all as to what people said, or what they thought about He ran on so for a long way. No doubt of it, be was au ugly dog. Re was lean and scraggy; his coat was of a dirty gray color, and in many places the hair was worn off in patches. Neither were there any tokens that he had ever been a handsome dog, and that his present state of wretchedness was owing merely to sudden misfortune. He looked, on the contrary, as though he had always been an ill-fed dog, having desultory habits, no home to -go to, and seldom anything better to eat than a chance bone or a crust picked up In the guttet. Yes, he was certainly a miserable dog. - But I wondered to see him run so obsti nately in the middle of the road whenthere was room in plenty for him on the pave ment. He was a small dog, and by trotting close under the shop fronts he could Ihave slipped unnoticed through the crowd, and not have exposed himself to be run over by the cabs and be whipped by the carters.— But no,, he preferred the road where the mud was, and he ran straight forward, with out looking right or left, Just exactly 3:!,a;11. he knew his way. I might have paid no more attention to this dog, for there are enough of whom take no notice, but I observed that he had a collar around his neck, and that to this collar was attached a basket. This set me thinking; for a' dog who carries 'a basket is either a dog sent out on an errand or a run away dog who has left his master and does not know where to go.' Now which could this one be? if he was a dog that ran on. errands,,wby did not his owners feed him better, so that his ribs should look less spare? But if he was a dog that had left his master, and run away into the world to face care and trouble alone, what hardships or what, cruelties had he had to stiller that he should have taken such a step in despair? I felt should like to haye these questions answered, for there was something of mys tery in them; I therefore followed the dog. e We were in Oxford street, in that part of It which lies between the Marble Arch and Duke street, and the dog was running in the direction of the Regent Circus. It was a dull wet day in winter; the rain had. been falling. A gray fog was spreading its va pors along the road, and every one looked I cold and uncomfortable. A few shops were being lighted up here and there, for evening Watkeetting in. _ But the contrast between the glare of ' the gas and the occasional glow of the red coal fires burning cbeerily . in the fitteti itt,g(01444494' kozon way iwproit GE ME Prouus* pr.cumn.

And' yet the dog went pattering it, going at a - sort, of quick jog-trot pace, keeping his, ears; always down, and paying ne s attention 'either to the omnibuses that rolled by him, the costermongera who swore 41t,Ilittr, or the ' Other -degs who stopped at On - jes with a_,mazzitiOir -and gazed him with silent Wonder: Thad to step ' out fast to . keep up with hitn.

W. pried North Audley street, after that Duk etreet, and:We then came oppoSite a small street which forms a very narrow and dirty thoroughfare at the' end which is' nearest Oxford street. ,Here the.- dog paused for a moment, •and appeared to hesitate as to what he should'do. He Made a few steps 'forward, then receded; but finally seemed to'-make-up his .mind, and entered the street, still trotting. • There wes no one there. The dim, driz zling rain, which had begun to fall again, thaeold, 'and the fog had scared away the habitual frequenters of the one or two sor- did cook shopathat line both sides of the way. There was only a rag-and-bone-man sorting. broken bottles at his door, and chughing wheezily from old age and misery. .. The dog went on. The street grows wider-ea ouo proceeds, and the: houses also become better and cleaner. I asked myself whether the dog could possibly have his Untie about here, and whether be would not .suddenly disappear downan area, in which age the romance of the thing would have beers ended, and I should have had my walk fornothieg. But no, he turned apruptly oft et a mews, and after a few seconds of the•stame apparent hesitation as before, slackened his pace and stopped opposite a public house. -A:trie,ws is never quite empty. There are aiwas - s grooms loafing about in doorways, or stable boys going in and out of wash betties. At the moment when the dog and I appeared a coachman was harnessing two horsiest to a brougham, and a couple of men were helping him. Opposite, and exchang ing remarks with them from the threshold of .the public house, stood a servant smok ing along clay pipe; the dog was standing stills but all at once, before I had bad time strapect what was going to happen, he rose up on his hind legs and commenced walking gravely around in circles. r, The man _ with the clay pipe utte r ''a cry Of tierprise. The two others and the coach umi raised their heads, and upon seeing this etrenge sight left their work and clus tered Op to look. A few more people at traeted by the noise came and joined us.-- We soon formed a ring. • it seemed to please the dog to see us all areaMdkim, for he gravely wagged his tail °nee - to , and fro, and tried to put more spieltl,itito his exercise. He walked five t.around on his hinder legs, looking fix eilly-Vefore hiin like a soldier on duty, and rising his best;-poor dogt—l could see that --etit - tadke us laugh.

The rain continued to fall, bit not one of us thought of moving, only the dog, when hobad lain dead a minute, got up and shook himself, to show us all that the perform wide was ended. He had displayed the ex tent of what he knew, and now came for ward to receive his fee. He stood up on his hind legs again, and walking to each of us separately assumed the posture that is 'pop' Wetly known as " begging." I was the first to whom he came. He gazed at me in quiringly withshis soft eyes opened wide, and followed my hand patiently to my waist coat pocket. The basket around his neck was a round one, with a lid to it tied down with a string, and with a little slit in the lid through which to put in money. I dropped in a shilling, and stooped down to reacFa bit of crumpled paper I saw hanging loosely from the collar. It bore these words, writ ten in a shaky hand: "This is the dog of a poor-man who is bed-stricken; he earns the bread of his master. Good people, do not keep him from returning -to his home." The deg thanked me for my offering by Wagging his tail, and then passed on to my neighbor. Human nature must be kinder than people think, for there was not one of the spectators—not even he with the clay pipe, - whose face had impressed me unfa vorably—but gave the dog something. As for him, when he had gone his round, he barked two or thfee times to say good-bye, and then pattered contentedly away at the same, jog -trot pace he had come. He went up the street, and I followed him, but when we had reached Oxford street he quickened suddenly, and began to run hard as if his day was ended and he wanted to A•et home. Evening had quite fallen by this time, and I felt it would be useless to go after my four-legged mystery on foot, so I called a cab,. and said, " Fol low that dog," very much to the driver's amazement. • ENE It is a long way from the part of Oxford street in which we were to Tottenham Court road, where the small dog led me. But I should have dnderstood the journey had it not been made at such a furious pace. The dOg never once looked around. Twenty times I thought he would be crushed'] by Passing vans or carriages, but somehow' he got through. He had an extraordinary tact for finding a passage between horses' hoofs, and; like a true London dog as he was, he showed intimate familiarity with all the in tricacies of crossings. Still it was some ye t lief to me, both on his own account and oir mine, when I saw him branch off atlatit, was, beginning to fear be would never, atop, that he bad something •of the wandering Jew in him. It seemed impossible that, without taking any rest, without pausing even for an instant to draw breath, such a very lean dog should keep on going Ho long. Tottenham Court (this was about eighteen', months •ago) used to be a sort of fair at night time. It is a lengthy highway run- ning amidst a- tangled network of sorrY streets, the population of which, from dusk until the hour when the public houses close, used to spread hungry and idle amongst the countless booths which had then not yet `been swept away, and where shell fish, sour fruit, and indigestible-looking meat were sold by ye ling costermongers. 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 powty, • disease • and misery 'have their aboTes set up in permanence; and I was not : wrong. The dog, running -faster than ever now, as if he felt more afraidloi his basket here amongst the ravenous crowds than he had dm:teat the West End, bolted suddenly up a narrow side street Where 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 sec= ondary matter. Where the dog went I would go; and thus I dodged after him, first down a crooked alley, then through a foul court, and lastly up a passage where it was, pitch dark. Hera' groped my wav along a damp wall, and stumbled upon the tlirst step of a staircase. Being'a smoker, however, I had some vesuvians about me. I struck one, lit a piece of twisted paper with it, and by the moment's flame I thus obtained de. t3cried the dog making his way up a creaky flight of wooden steps, battered in places and rotting from mold. He barked when he saw the light, and growled uneasily.— But I softened my voice, and cried. out— " Good dog! good doe trying` thereby . to WWI WO' 4' WV 44 woo tig4 him I was not an eneiny i for he turned to sniff my trowsera, and wheni struck a sec ond vesuvian he'consented to' my, aecompa riyinF him without doing anything else but conttaue his sniffing. We . went up three , stories in this way, until we reached the garret floor. There were two doors face to face, and one of them had a latch with a pleee - of string tied to it. The string dangled with a loop at its end to Within a few inches of Abe ground. The dog raised one of his fore paws, pressed it on the loop, and by this means opened the door. We both walked in together. There was a rusblight burning in the neck of a ginger-beer bottle. There was an empty saucepan in a grate without a, fire. - Some tottered clothes were hanging on the back of a 'broken chair, and some bits of plaster fallen from a cracked ceiling were encum bering 'the floor. On the splintered deal table was a plate •with a solitary bone on it, and next to itn cup with the handle gone. I turned from the sight of these things to a mattress laid in a corner of the room. The - - light was rendered so flickering by the gusts of wind that swept through the window— tO which bits of newspaper had been paint edfor want of glass—that I .could not at first: distinguish very clearly where I was and what I saw. I could only heir the af fectionate whinings of the dog, and vaguely see him leaping upon some one against whom he was rubbing his head, and whose face he was licking with an exuberance of love. I heard a voice, too—but a voice so husky and broken that it resembled a whis per—repeatfeebly " Good dog, good Jim' !" and then I saw a Vand untie the basket, and heard the sound of money poured out on the couch. " Good Jim! good. Jiml" went on the cracked voice; and it began counting— " One, two. Oh, good Jimt good Jim! Here's ashilling. One-and-threepence, one and-ninepence, two shillings. Oh, good dog!' Three and a penny, three and—' But here followed a terrified shriek. " Who's that?" cried the man, covering up the money with his sheet, and he looked nt me, livid and haggard with the ague-of ferer. "Don't be frightened," I said; "I am come to do you no harm. lam a friend. I have followed your dog home, and I desire to help you if you are huneed." He seemed to be a man about fifty, for his hair was not all gray; but the ghaktly hollowness of his cheeks, the emaciated condition of his body, and, above all, the gleam of disease in his burning eyes made him older than a Man of ninety, for tly told more plainly than worlds could have told that he had r emedy one foot in :his grave. _ My tone and my appearance seemed to reassure him; but be continued to hide his money. "I am a poor man, sir," he gasped—" a very poor man. ' I ham nothing but what my dog earns me, and That's nothing. He goes out to idle; and if he picks up a few pence—" (here the man had a fit of hectic cougliibg)—" if he picks up a few pence, sir, it's all he does pick up." I felt my heart ache, for I guessed the truth •" He's not an idle dog," I said. " Has he not earned you more than three shillings to•day?" "Oh, no, eir—no, air ; it's threepence," protested the miser, trembling., "It's just threepence—threepence, air. Look and see." And he held up three copper coins from out of his covering. 4 ' 4 You are very ill, my Man," I said, ap7 proaching his mattress. "You must lame send you a doctor." " Oh, sir! no, no; I—l've no money to give them. Let me alone, please. I'm not ill; I shall be well tomorrow. It's nothing but a. cold—a—a cold." • Hie dog was continuing to lick his face.-- I remembered that the poor brute ad not & t eaten. " Your dog must be hungry," I Observed; shall I give him this bone?

Ohi—ohl I shall starve if you give him that bone." " I will buy you something to eat," I an swered, taking up the bone, on which there was not a particle of flesh left. "Bere a Jim," said I, holding It out. But the dog, instead of accepting the bone, looked mat fully at his master to ask for leave. "No, no, Jim I" panted the miser fearful ly; and the dog turned away his head, refu sing to be enticed. " How long have you been laid up like thial , " was my next question. I was grow ing sick at heart. Ten r weeks, sir; oh, ten weeks," groaned the man—rho 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 meback a penny in his 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!" .* * Eut why prOlong such a dialogue? Is there anything more depressing than The sight of moral inflrmityCoupled with bodily disease. This palsied miser was arida man; at least 1 - ich compared with his station. He had made himself a small fortune by, the intelligence of his dog, and his sudden ill ness, instead of reducing him topoverty had, on the-contrary, only added, to his means. The dog earned more, alone than belied over earned with his master. Each morning at the break of - day he went- out with his empty basket, and 'every night at sunset he returned with it half full. This I learned from the miser's neighbors—hon est people;/hough poor, who pretended 'to beliew---InJthe fevered wretch's tales of want, in order that he might not have cause to dread them, and so refuse their necessary services. _ - - There is a great deal of this innate unsus pected delicacy in the hearts of the work lig poor. These rough 'and uncouth, but kindly natures, tended the graceless miser in his sickness. They bought'his food for him, they washed his linen, and they asked no payment for anything they did. As for the unhappy . man's gold, it %was at their mercy; but the thought of touching it never seemed to cross their minds.. " Only," said one with a 'naive accent, "I think, sir, 'twill be better when he's laid in the ground. His money might be good then to some as would make use of it." .` And the dog?" I murrnitredlreflectively. -4 ` The dog's his friend, sir," was the neigh bor's answer, " and he won'tlive long when his masters gone." .. . And these words were proPhecy. I sent' for a doctor, for a nurse,'and for nourishing food to battle against death; but our efforts• were useless. The miser lived a week, and upon each of the seven days the dog went out according to his habit, with his batket around his neck, and remained out for ten , or twelve hours—till dusk. Sometimes I I folloived:Atitia :from morning. till evening; seeing which anCremenihering my face as i that which atdetidaily by his master's bed sidelp be wagged his tail at my approach, and consented to walk at my heels.

Ho had missed •his master the night before, and guessed that they had put him in the lon_g black box that -stood in the middle of the' room.— When the men cane to carry away this long black box, the dog went after them and 'cried. He followed the coffin to the ceme tery, where he and I were - the only specta- , tors beside the curate, __the sexton,- and the undertaker's men.' - When. the earth was thrown in he - looked at me plaintively to know what it meant, and when - the burial w over he wished'to'remain near the open tob, waiting till his masterehould rise.
