FROM THE "SPECTATOR." 225 



dogs towards small ones ; I would not deny 

 that a large dog may now and then punish 

 an impudent and aggressive toy-terrier, but,

 providential wisdom which makes them so 

 generous and forbearing ; having a giant's 

 strength, they seldom indeed use it like a 

 giant. 



HAIN FRISWELL.
