THE PEDLER AND.HIE DOG.
Some pairs ago I travelled through a
portion of Michipn. It went on foot; or
rode as best sited my purpose. I carried
rich silks and jewelry to sell to those die-
posedeto buy. My only companion during
lay jouraey, was a large dog of the New-
foundland breed. Lion was fit to be king
of his species. He was good natured and
quiet, and there was something atmoot De-
man in his eyes. Ile attended to Ilia own
business and Inger quarrelled wills "curs
of low degree." Ile would bear an insult
from worthies puppies, with a philosophy
worthy of admiration. And I never knew
him, save on a few occasions, resent the
undue liberties of pupies of large growth.
When his ire, however, was thoroughly
aroused, he made such offenders a terrible
warning "ecul doers."
When I travelled, he trotted along by
my side and when I stopped to trade, he
seated himself near me and watched all my
movements with a business -like expression.
it annoyed him a little, sometimes, to ace
my customers drag the goods from my
back and handle them with such freedom,
which he expressed by a low growl, while
be followed every piece with his eyes, to
see that they were not appropriated
witi-
out proper compensation, and with my full
consent.
Ile really took a strong dislikg to those
who were disposed to find fault with every-
thing, and my ptices in particular. I believe

and the talum I attached to them. BeAts

trade. was au excellent watch -dog,
and there was no dang;r of anything con-
fided to Lie care being taken away. I
fouud him very useful and companionable in
my travels.
Conveyances were so scarce and uncer-
tain, that I wag often obliged to go on foot
from one settle mint to another. These
'gurneys were aay thing but pleasant, and as
the country was new and the state of socie-
ty anything but gnat, robberies were fre-
quently prepetrateduon these lonely roade.
and there were those, nn doubt, to whom
doe rich &tuffs I carried would be a suf-
ficient temptation to commit a murder.
The idea frequently occurred to me io
travelling through the woods of the
West. But old Lion was always by my
side, ready to (lie in iny defence, and proud
to Share in my waaderinge. I always went
armed. An excellent brace of pistols,
steel barreled, and loaded with were

to see that they were in order, and at eight
