The Tanner had a large yard dog, which for some uuknown cause, con- reived such an inveterate hatred to the farmer, that he could not go with safety to visit his friend when the. dog was loose and-on this account the tanner loaded the animal with a heavy clog, that he might not b' able to fly at the farmer. As the firmer au'd one of his plough men were going abnut the grounds togeth er one d iy, they perceived the dog appa rently in great drstress and pain, lying near a fence. As they approached they found that in attempting to jump the fence he had left his clog on the other side, the weight of which had almost strangled him. The .ploughman knowing the enmity which- the dog bore to his employer, pro posed to knock hiui in the head; but the farmer was unwilling to kill a creator which he knew was useful and valuable to his friend, and ins'eadiof hurting him. he disengaged the poor beast, laid him down on the grass, watched him till he saw him nearly recovered, and then pur sued his way. . , Vheu he returned the spot he ihe dog still there, quite recovered, and as usual expected an attack, but to his great astonishment the creature fawned upon him and expressed his gratitude in the most lively manner, and from, that time to the day of his death attended the fanner and could never be prevailed up on to return to his tonner master. 77ie Force of Gratitude in a Dog.- Brown in his Sketches, says1 that a large setter, ill with the distemper, ;had been uost tenderly nursed by a I ad v for three week3.
