Exchange. --•- A Brave French Dog. In 1779 a young dog, which apparent- ly had no master, came no one knew how to Caen, France, and met there a regi- ment of grenadiers starting for Italy. Urged on, apparently by destiny, he followed themFie was to all appear- ance a regular street cur, dirty and ugly, hat he had such a bright expression and seemed so intelligent that they did not hesitate to take him. His new compan- - ions forced him to act as sentiael,to obey orders, to keep step, to become accus- tomed to the sound of fire -arms, to obey roll -call, and all other duties the soldiers were called upon to perform. He re- ceived and ate his rations with thern,and lived in every respect as his regiment was commanded to do. In going to Italy Moustache crossed Saint Bernard at the cost of unknown hardships'and encamped with the regiment aboveAlex- andria. It was here that he was to ac- complish his first great feat of arms. A detaehrnent of Austrians hidden in the Valley of Banns advanced in the night to surprise the grenadiers, and was heard by this vigilant dog as he was making his rounds, The soldiers were awakened by his barking. In a moment every one was on foot and the enemy dislodged. To reward Moustache the colonel had his name inscribed on the regimental roll, and ordered that he shon•ld have every day the rations of a soldier. He ordered that there should be put on his neck a collar bearing the name of the regiment, and the barber was ordered to wash and comb him every week. Some time afterward there was a slight engagement, in which Moustache con - ducted himself very bravely. Re here received his first wound—a bayonet thrust in the shoulder. It must be said here that Moustache was never wounded except in front. About this time he quarreled with the grenadiers and de- serted because they had left him tied in the garrison. Taking refuge with a company of ehasseurs, he saw a disguised Austrian spy enter the French camp. Moustaehe, forgetting the insult he had received, Welcomed the stranger by apringinst at his throat with much fierce- ness. This action astonished all at first, hut they had time for reflection, and then remembered the sagacity of the faithful dog, The stranger was arrest- ed, searched, and found to be a spy. Moustache continued the series of his exploits. At the battle of Austerlitz', seeing the eelor-bearer surrounded by enemies, he flew to his rescue, defended him as well as he could, and when the soldier fell pierced with - bullets, eavel- oped in his colors, Mougtache, seizing with his teeth that part of the glorious flan svhieh he could get, fairly flew past the enemy and brougltt back to his com- pany the blood-stained. remnants. It must be said here that a charge of mus- ketry had taken off one of his legs. This _beautiful action nierited honor. They took off the collar he wore, and Marshal Larmes ordered that they put on him a red ribbon, with a capper medal bearing thi‘ inscription on one side : "He lost a kg i the battle of Austerlitz and saved the e lots of his regiment." On the other side it read: " Moustache should be lov/ed and honored as a brave French dog." As it was easy to recognize him by his ribbon and medal they decided that in whatever regiment he should be he should receive the portion of a soldier. }ie took part yet in several battles, and among others that of Essling, 1809. He made with the dragoons two campaigns, and the brave dog fought every time he had the opportunity. He always walked in the front on the alert, barking when he heard any noise anel could not find out the cause. In the Sierra Morena Mountains he brought back to camp the horse of a dragoon who had been killed. It is said that at several timeihe showed thia same act of intelligence. ; He made his laat campaign with the artillery, and was killed at the battle of Badajoz, March llth, 1811, at the age of 12 years. They buried hint on the spot where he fell, with his medal and his ribbon. On the stone which served as his monu•rnent they wrote: "Here lies Moustache." These simple words are more eloquent than the most pompous epitaph.—Cour- ier des Etats lJnis. Soule Curious Pulpits. Some pulpits are curious on account of their materials, as in the case of some Spanish examples, when the familiar stone, or marble and wood, are aban- doned in favor of iron. There are two of these iron pulpits in the Cathedral of Zamora,. lined with wood, and standing on stone bases ; and there is another in San Gil, Burgos, which has a wooden framework, on which the rich open ' tracery of ironwork is laid. There was onee an iron pulpit in Durham Cathe- dral. And there is to be one in the new American church in the Rue Montaigne, Paris, which is to have a semicircular front divided into panels filled with scroll- work, and raised on a marble base to the height of the entrance to it, which is pierced through the wall. Some pulpits are curious on account of their antiquity, such as the marble aad mosaic examples—ambones, anti- quaries call them—in Roma, in S. Lor enzo fuori le Muro and S. Clemente, and at Salerno and Ravenna, from which the Epistle and the Gospel used to be read seven and eight hundred years ago. Others are interesting on account of the preachers who have discoursed from them, such as John Knox's pulpit, John Bunyan's pulpit; or of some association With celebrated preachers, as that of St. Margaret's, Westminster; or on account of their donors, as in the case of St. Mary Abot's pulpit, presented by George the Fourth; or of that • in the nave of Westminster Abbey, composed of varie- gated marbles and mosaic, and inscribed : "This pulpit is presented to the Nan and Chapter of Westmiater by a few friends, in grateful commemoration of the opening of the nave for public w r - ship and preazthing in January, 1858.' Others, again, attract our attention on account of their situation being unusu, 1, as in the case of that in Holme Ladey Church, which is placed in the smith aisle of the nave, much of the great borly of the building being left unconsider d, save by the sunshine and silence a d soft Herefordshire zephyrs, and perhijps the scent of flowers borne by them fr m the superb yew avenues of flo er gardens of the neighboring hall. Ross Church the church where the Man of Ross worshiped, in which we may see the monument put up to his memory on the north wall of the chancel, within the rails, and the pew in wh.ch he sat, in the north transept, with t -o tall trees growing in it that have insi u ated themselves from the Ichurchy rd without, through the mascinry of he outer wall, has an operapaneled pul it. Each of its eight panels has a roset e - like star carved in the center of it, a d there is a molded cornice running rou d the ledge. It is now raised three st ps from the chancel floor, but was forme ly higher. There are three doors in he masonry close to it, which once g ve access to a turret staircase leading to the loft of the rood -screen, now remov d. One of these doors formed the entra ce from the nave, and another formed 1he entrance from the chancel to the foot of the winding tair in question and the third opened high up, on the rood, loft, at the level of the top of the rood -screen spanning the chancel arch. When this screen was removed there was no further use for the turret stair and it was closed in and lost sight of till restora- tion disclosed the doors leading to it.— The Quiver. r Children's Rhyines. A dignified professor, With a bald head, began a lecture before the New York Academy of Science the other evening, as follows: Eeny, meney, miney, mo, Catch a nigger by the toe; If he hollers let him go, Eeny, meney, miney, me. One-ery, two-ery, zickeay z ii, Wiekabo, Wockaba, Crickabo, crockabo, Tillery tan. Entery, mentery, koutery kali, Apple seed and apple Ball. Wire, brier, limber lock, Three geese in a flock, One flies east, one flies west And one flies over the cuckeo's nest. Enery, teenery, tickery, teven, I'll go marry ten or eleven; Pin pan, musky Dan, Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one. The dignified Professor wa. Dr. 11. Carrington .3olton, and his subject was "The Counting -out Rhymes of ;hildren. A Study in International Folk Lore." Dr. Bolton was formerly a professor in Trinity College, Hartford. He has just returned from a tour in Europe. He explained to the audience that these rhymes and many others whicl't he had picked up in twenty languages were used by children in their gameS to de- termine who should have the Most un- desirable part. A leader repeated the doggerel rhyme, and the child on whom; the last word fell was set free Thosel remaining went through the sanli e ordeall until the last one remained., Who was! "it." This " it," Dr. Bolton said, is a very polite expression in the games of English-speaking childrennfor in Ger- man the one who is "it rt is called a " wolf" instead of "it ;" in Japanese, or "little devil ;" in Malagasy, "bucca," or "leper," and iilt Hawaiian, > "crazy one." 1 Professor Bolton said he had collected counting -out rhymes in twenty ' lan- guages, civilized, half -civilized and bar- barous. Among these languages are the Penobscot Indian, Japanese, Arabic, Turkish, Malagasy, Bulgarian, Arme- nian, Swedish, Italian, Russian, Portu- guese, Spanish and Basque. The Bul- garian child rhymes, he said, werie too pronounced for repetition, but he rocitecl examples in , a dozen languages. In Dutch he had collected fourteen coun- ting -out rhymes, in German, 269, and in English, 454. Altogether, by corres- ponding with scholars in all parts of the world, he had obtained 860 counling- out rhymes. One of the most common jing es in all languages was the familiar: One, two, buckle my shoe; Three, four, shut the door; Five, six, pick up sticks• Seven, eight, lay them ot'raight, etc. There is a fund of curious allusions in the croggeral rhymes, Dr. Bolton con- tinued. Her is one picked np after the expedition of the Emperor Napoleon into Rnitsia The first Lieutenant was 60 neat He stopped in battle to wash his feet. Another, which shows how ancient the patter Is, l Nehuchadnezzer, the king of the Jew, Slipped off his slippers and slipped oil his shoes. A modern instance showing local col- oring in the United States ia : There was a little rattlesnake, He ate too much of wedding cake, And made his little belly ache. As to the origin of almost all the children's doggerel, Dr. Bolton said he believed it descended from remote an- tiquity. The ancients were accustomed to cast lots in the most solemn acts of life. It was considered an appeal to the Almighty. In the middle ages casting lots was degraded to a superstition, and charlatans used unmeaning formulas to impose on the people, pretending to cure diseases and forecast the future. In the well known doggerel: Eckery, ackery, ukery an, One-ery, two-er3-, etc. The "eckery " is Sanskrit for "one." It is probable, Professor Bolton said, that " ackery " was originally a word also. There was only one corrupt Latin v-erse that Dr. Bolton could remember. Itis: In, hoe, Domie, quod, Duck's foot plump in the nred. It is probable that the jingles that the children now use in games were former- ly written on papers and hung around the necks of people in the middle ages to keep off the plague or to cure hydro- phobia, gout and rheumatism. Children nowadays, however, are in- clined to improve the old doggerel. Dr. Bolton had interviewed a t'aood many children in all languages, and found it difficult to understand them. Conson- ants were not preserved, and vowels were .of no account to the children. As au illustration of his difficulty, Dr. BOlton wrote this word on the black - Ward: PHTEI-OLO-G N-YRRH. This was the way a man named Tur- n r wrote his name, and when asked to stify his spelling, be said : 'Phth" in " phthisic " is sounded " t," " olo " •in "colonel"is sounded "ugh," " gn " in ''gnaw " is ''n," and ''yrrh " in n, II i rrh s sounded " Dr. Bolton gave this explanation of the manner in which children change the rh!ymes.. In the Eastern States there is a gingle which runs is follows; John says to John how much are your geese? John says to John twenty cents apiece; •Join says to John that is too dear, John says to John get out of here. -On the Pacific coast this has been changed to:: Ching °hone. Chinaman how much are your geese?' Ching Chong Chinaman, twenty cents apiece, etc. -- The latest discovery dug up by Dr. 13Olton was this: I One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 1 All good children go to heaven, All bad children go below, To keep company with Guiteau. Who Wrote Shakespeare HOW THE ELEMENT OF " DOUBT " LEADS TO GRAND ACHIEVEMENTS.' The world is agitated again over the question of who was the author of Shakespeare's plays. The world is full of doubting Thom- ases. The man who has been successful in exciting the present momentary interest in the subject is, like most successful ag- itators, an Irishman. He claims to have discovered a cipher running through the Shakespearian plays which proves them to have been wrirten by Lord Ba- con. It is also claimed that there is a cipher in the epitaph on the tnoss-grown • tombstone which, properly interpreted, leads to the same conclusion. This age shows a decided inclination to pry into mysteries. . It can make no difference to Shakes- peare now whether the world believes he wrote the plays that bear his name or not. The plays are immortal. Ignatius Donnelly cannot rob us of these grand works, even though he should succeed in robbing Shakespeare of his glory. Were it not for doubting Thomases many of man's great accomplishments would never have been brought to a sucCessful issue. Men have been strieken down with- outiwarning. Doubt put in •motion the investigation which ascertained the cause. After the discovery of the cause, the world was ignorant of any remedy with which to stay the terrible slaughter of! humanity, and medical science said it Was imposeible. -Doubt led the way i tolight, and Warner's safe cure solved the seemingly unsolvable preblem. Its friends tell U8 with conclusive proof that the unsuspected kidney disease be- fouls the blood and causes most of our diseases ! For years the heart was looked upon as the most importantorgan in the body, but doubt led to further inquiry, which deYeloped the fact that the kidneys are the real blood-purifitrs of the system and these !organs now attract the first attention cif,the careful practitioner. It is ow a recognized fact that if they are put in a hea {thy state by the use of that re edy poss aging such wonderful cure - the and cle using powers most of the pr veiling diseases of the system will be easily re ow uni su h proble cu sion as to pe re ! loved. :tortant, in comparison with s. is the present dis- the authorship of Shakes- • - A Engl_sh Workingman on Church Charity.

The Correct Time. There- are very few men who do not pride themselves on always having the correct time ; arid wonderful and delicate mechanisms are de- vised to enable them to do so. But the more delicate a chronometer is made, the more sub- ject it becomes to derangement, and unless it be kept always perfectly clean, it soon loses its usefulness. What wonder, then, that the human ina.chine—so much more delicate and intricate than any work of man—should require to be kept thoroughly cleansed. The liver is the main- spring of this complex struCture, and onthe im- purities leftin. the blood by a disordered liver,' depend most of the ills that flesh ie heir to. Even consuMption (which is lung -scrofula), is .traceable to the imperfeet action of this organ. Kidney diseases, skin diseases, sick headache, heart disease, dropsy, and a long catalogue of grave maladies have their origin in a torpid, or sluggish liver. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis- covery, by establishing a healthy, normal action, of the liver, acts as a cure and preventive of these diseases. —A number of Welsh clergymen who have become impoverished through the tithe war have appealed to Churchmen in England for assistance. The Duke of Westminster has subscribed £500, and four Welsh bishops £100 each. Other donations are being received. LI/iIPORTANT NOTICES.
