DOG AND DUCK

 

DOG AND DUCK - A TRUE STORY

IN a recent number of the Leisure Hour there is a story of a chicken and a cat, which reminds me of a circumstance when I was at the vicarage of Willesden. We had a duck which, after losing her brood, comforted herself by making a friend of a large French poodle-dog, kennelled in the yard. The attachment was mutual and strong. The duck fed out of the dog's bowl and slept in his house. They had also their little gambols, when the dog sometimes would take the duck's neck into his mouth, I need not say without hurting his playmate.

ANTICIPATION

 

ANTICIPATION- A Poem

By G.S.O. 

DISTANCE (so the bard has shown us) 
Lends enchantment to the view; 

And what seems a splendid bonus, 

Sometimes is not worth a sou,

Sunny peaks prove drear and icy 

When we've scaled the rocky stair; 

Yonder isle, so green and spicy, 

Is as fatal as it's fair.

In our thoughts we may be greeting 

Friends we here shall see no more; 

As we dream their souls are flecting 

Upward, to a brighter shore.   

While his body is abiding 

In the prison-house of school 

In his spirit Jack is sliding 

On the jolly Christmas pool. 

Long before the half is over, 

Long ere May has drest the land, 

Ned is on the beach at Dover, 

Digging sluices in the sand. 

Ere the jam and flour are blended 

By his mother's loving art, 

Jones has eaten, and commended 

All his cake and currant tart! 

Meanwhile father Jones is building 

Airy castles and renown- 

Laying on the paint and gilding- 

How he will astonish Brown! 

Mary, by the fireside stitching, 

Walks the summer lanes with Phil; 

Or at church, a bride bewitching, 

Plights* her troth for good and ill. 

Rover, like his lord is gifted- 

He can eat his dinner twice; 

When it hangs on high uplifted, 

Looking oh so very nice. 

And when- mutton, beef, or bacon- 

(As his doggish tastes may run,) 

In his mouth capacious taken, 

Proves a sorry scrap of bun. 

As you eye old Rover dining 

Off the little bits that fall, 

Sweetly-tempered, unrepining, 

Be contented one and all. 

*Gives.

GOOD FOR EVIL

 

GOOD FOR EVIL - A True Story

A YOUNG man belonging to the city of Paris, desirous of getting rid of his dog, took it with him to the river Seine. He hired a boat, and rowing into the stream, threw the animal in. The poor creature attempted to climb up the side of the boat, but his master who wished to drown him. constantly pushed him back with the oar. In this he fell himself into the water and would certainly have been drowned, had not the dog, as soon as he saw his master struggling in the stream, suffered the boat to float away, and held him above the water, till assistance arrived and his life was saved.

DOGS IN HARNESS

 

DOGS IN HARNESS - True Story

EVERYboy knows, that away in the regions of icy North the Esquimaux  use their sagacious dogs  to draw the sledges. But theirs is not  the only part of the world where dogs are put into harness.
Dog-carts are common enough in the Low- Countries, where the peasants drive into town their canine teams, drawing a cart laden with produce. Dogs of all kinds are used for this purpose, but many of them are mastiffs of large size. Some years ago dog-carts were not uncommon in our own country, but they were made illegal by Parliament.

 If the English peasant would treat his dogs as kindly as the Dutch and Belgians do, we should have no need to brand as cruel and brutal the custom of putting dogs in harness.

A HEROIC DOG

 

A HEROIC DOG -TRUE STORY HAPPENED IN NY 1876

A GENTLEMAN, who witnessed the capsizing of a scow at New York, some time ago, by it coming in contact with a steamer, gives the following account of the occurrence:-
After the scow capsized, a Newfoundland dog rose beside it, shook the water from his head and shoulders, and surveyed the scene. He seemed to comprehend  the situation at a glance, immediately dived under the scow, and a moment afterwards rose on the other side with the insensible form of his mistress. held up by his teeth. He sustained her till a man in a boat took hold of her, when "as quick as a flash." the noble dog dived under the scow again, and was gone fully two minutes, when he came up for air, and dived again, both times without success. He then started to swim to the boat into which the woman had been taken, and after getting halfway, seemed to hesitate; stopped, returned, to the wreck and dived once more in a last desperate effort to recover the children. This proving unsuccessful, he swam away, and I lost sight of him. American Paper

UNEXPECTED HELP RENDERED BY A DOG NEPTUNE

THE late Lord M had a very fine large Newfoundland dog, called "Neptune", which used to be kept chained up in a courtyard outside castle. Now Neptune was very fond of mutton and pork, and used to worry the sheep and pigs when ever he had a chance. He was consequently seldom let loose or taken out, unless they were going to ride in some out-of the-way district. 

On one occasion in the Autumn of 1856. Lord M. and Mr H. were riding across the country, accompanied by Neptune, when coming to a high bank with a broad ditch on either side, Lord M's horse refused to take it, so Lord M. dismounted, and getting on to the bank, tried to lead him over it; but. while so standing on the bank. a gust of wind blew his hat off and in trying to save it the bridle slipped from his hand and the horse became loose.

As quick as lightning, Neptune, who had apparently been most interested in the endeavor to get the horse over, sprang after the hat,and, catching it, jumped with it on to the bank dropped it at his master's feet, and dashed after the horse, which  was trotting off, and before Mr H. could overtake it, he had seized the bridle with his teeth, and held on, checking it till Mr H. came up and took the bridle from him when he appeared to express his pleasure by little short barks and a variety of gambols.

What makes this a remarkable circumstance, is that Neptune had never been broken in to fetch and carry, and had never been used as a retriever, or was known or seen to do anything of the sort before that occasion.

The story happened in Good Old England in 1819 seems and the name of the horse was Blackberry. Since that day Neptune became one of the most popular names of the Newfoundland dogs in the Great Britain and The United States Of America.
