jury. Do not wait for a Doctorto cat out the bite, if he be far off, and you havejudgment enough to operate, without cuttingan artery, or risking danger in the loss ofblood. Time is every thing, and if attended toearly, there is very little fear of danger evenfrom the most venomous bite. Many foolishpeople imagine that if a healthy dog bite aperson and the animal should at any aftertime become rabid, that the individual may onthat account become the subject of Hydropho-bia. This must be all moonshine. By the eamemethod of reasoning, should the person withwhom I associate in New York, die of the yel-low fever in New Orleans, I must also fall avictim to it. How many faithful animals iiavebeen sacrificed, through this nonsensicalidea! Certainly it were better for a dog tosuffer death, than that the nerves of an/ humanbeing should be continually agitated even bysuch peurile humdrum, yet it is high time thatreasoning minds should avoid conclusions,where there is no connection between cause

SCOTCH SHEPHERD DO??. SHEPHERD DOG. T were vain, the Sheep-dog to depict in vcr«e,Iti dof^gerel rhyme, his merits to rehearse ;Known in all regions, by a foreign name,Distinct his origin, his use the same.Of varied caste, of different form and size,But ever honest, vigilant and wise ;On Grampion hills, on Alps or Pyrenee,A matchless hound, of doubtful f)edigree.Unlike his brethren, born to lounge at ease,Raised on the mountain, nurtured in the breeze,The truthful index of his masters eye,With him alone, content to live and die.On boundless plain or thickly crowded street,The faithful Cully, with his troop we meet ;With speaking gesture and expression firm,Directs each movement, dictates every turn.Inured to hardship, dreads nor cold nor storm,The sleepless sentinel, his flock to warn ;Unseen, alone, his midnight watch to keep,The bribeless guardian of the helpless sheep.Gentle his sway, yet stern his strict command,He guides unerringly his fleecy band ;No truant lamb evades his watch
