 always remembering to commence with any thing new, by 

 first carefully placing it in his mouth and requir'ng him to 

 bring it but a step or two the first time. This may fieem

 dogs, and we have ever found that the best results have been 

 obtained by strictly following this course, no matter how in- 

 telligent our pupil may be, nor how willing to bring anytmng 

 that you may wish him to.
