Oh yes, master Tip, you think you have done a fine 
thins:, don't you ? You know that you have been in mis- 
chief, your face shows it just as plainly as if you could 
speak. Yes, sir, and what is worse, you don't look a bit 
sorry. If you were a poor starved cur, there might be 
some excuse for you, but when j'ou are properly fed, to go 
and just out of mischief kill the old hen is too mean even 
for a dog. — When we saw this picture, ttic first tlionght 
was, that is a picture that will please a great many of our 
AgrknUurid boys and girls ; ?o wc liad it engraved, and 
here it is. Even tliose too young to read can understand 
what the artist meant to show, and older ones will ad- 
mire the cleverness with which it is done. It is said 
that animals have no reason, but they must have some- 
thing very much like it. Did you ever notice the diflTer- 
ent expressions in dogs, and how diflercntly they look 
when they have done something for which they expect 
jn-uisc, from what lliey do when they know they have 
done wrong, and deserve a scolding, if nothing more? 
The dog in the picture has an amusing expression, as if 
he pretended to know nothing about what had happened 
to the old hen, at the same time he ir^ chuckling over the 
nice meal she made. Tlicn the poor little orphaned 
chickens, how their distress makes a sad side to the 
picture, and contrasts strongly with the "I don't care, I 
mn glad I did it, only I hope I won't get found out." 
written as plainly on the dog's face as can be, — '* Found 
out"— master Tip— such things arc always found out. 
Smart as you think you are, you arc a very stupid dog. 
You havn't sense enough lo remove those tell-tale le^^s, 
which show as plainly as can be what has become of the 
old hen. You'll catch it— and you deserve it, too.— It is 
just so not only with dogs, hut people who do wrong; 
yes, and young people, too. They think that they can do 
some forbidden thing, and iiot be found out—their cun- 
ning lasts while they are doing it, hut they are sure to 
leave the legs, or some other silent witness, in sight.
