A gentleman, who not long ago, dwelt, in remote part of Dubartonshire, in ad-

 dition to pony and a couple of beauti-

 ful grey-hounds, entertained a monkey that had been sent him by military officer from Gibraltar. Pug had formed par ticular friendship with the two dogs, and it was nc unfrequent sight to behold him seated on the back of one of them canter-

 ing across the lawn in front of his masters dwelling, and apeing all the airs of first rate sportsman. Mir. -, having ris- en early one morning, mounted his shelly, and taking along with him his two harriers, had scarcely emerged from the shrubbery that surrounded the ancient mansion, when pug, contrary to his wish, unexpectedly appeared, and was permitted after gen. tie reprimand, to take his usual seat on sthe back of one of his favorites. After proceeding through several fields, and af- sfording by their conjoined drollery, abund- ance of mirth to their worthy master, a ,hare suddenly started up, few ridges : from the nose of the encountered grey hound, and scudded along with all the swiftness it was master of when it was inssinctly pursued by both dogs. pug all the while retaining his seat with wonderful sci- ence, as, Mazeppa-like, he flew with his gallant steed around the side of moory hill, with his tiny arms clasped firmly round his neck. The gentleman soon lost sight of them, but putting spurs to his po- ny, followed as nearly as he could guess, the direction they had taken, and coming up with Highlander, who was busily em- ployed building stone dyke, he inquired of him if he had seen any dogs pass by.
