When I was alone in solitary places, or was sent on errands in the dark, this apprehension of meeting a running rabid dog was the one nervous feeling which it took all my manliness to overcome; — so vivid and enduring are strong impressions, and especially those of pain and dread, on young minds. DERIVE NT. 191 Splash was a water-dog, sleek, handsome, and good-tempered, but of no manner of service about the house or farm. Send him after a float- ing thing in the water, and he would delight to f...etch it to you ; set him on hogs in mischief, and he would run among them and Hck each one in the face. None of the animals, not even the sheep, had the least respect for him as a police- dog. His great amusement was to swim across, and re-swim, the river; which he would do sev- eral times a day when work was going on in the meadows, — for he liked observers. He would aim to land at a particular point, a rock, on the other shore, that his eye fixed on ; in order to do which he must take into account the drift, or leeway, to which he would be subject from the current.
