TOM’S LESSON. 
“ Go and gel it! Go and get it, I say I” 
Poor little Dash crept close to his young 
master’s feet, looking up in his face with earn¬ 
est, pleading eye, as if he would say: 
“ Please, please don’ll I cannot do what 
you want." 
Tom was trying to make Dash swim after 
a stick which he had just thrown into the 
river. Now Dash was not a water dog, hav¬ 
ing no more love for it than a cat, and foolish 
Tom was bent on making him one I lie 
kicked the poor little animal away and re¬ 
peated his order; then, angry that it was not 
obeyed, seized him and threw him into the 
water. The dog was sorely frightened, but 
by hard struggling reached the hank, and 
crawled to his master’s feet with a pitiful 
whine, wet, panting, trembling. The cruel 
hoy caught him up with rough words, and 
was just going to throw him in again, when 
a pair of strong arms seized him, and a man’s 
voice said: 
“ Here, you young scamp ! Now we’ll see 
how you like to swim !” 
It. was Tom’s turn to be frightened. lie 
turned pale, trembled and caught his breath 
as the stranger lifted him in his stout arms 
as easily ns he had poor Dash. He began 
to beg. 
“ Oh, sir, pray don’t 1 I cannot swim, in¬ 
deed 1 cannot! Oh, don’t throw me into the 
water! I will never, never do so again.’ 
The man paused, but did not let go his 
hold.

do it to amuse me? I am as much larger 
and stronger than you as you are larger and 
stronger than that poor, panting, trembling 
dog.’’ 
Tom still begged and promised, and the 
stranger at last released him, saying: 
“Now, my hoy, let me give you a kind 
word of advice. Never treat another,whether 
human being or dumb animal, as you would 
not like to he treated yourself. Never try to 
make anybody or anything do what God, 
when he created it, did not make it to do, or 
lo he what he did not me.au it to he. Tf you 
Keep these rules, you will be a better, wiser,

And Tom knew in his heart that the man 
was light, anti the lesson, though it seemed 
severe, given in real kindness.
