popular songs. 1t tells of one Of these char
acters who called on the lady of Major f. F..

her, and she called i'll a large, fierce bull dog,
and set him to work The dog would have
torn the intruder to pieces, but Mrs. Marley
had him taken off after he had pretty well pun
ished him for his ill-breeding. The songs,
says the Flag, were printed in New York,
wherever their vender hailed from.

How ERRANT HUSBANDS ARE REFORMED
Our WEsT.-One of the Detroit papers tells
the following story "A spirited and worthy
lady, whose husband has of late got into bad
ways, and wandered after false gods, 10 the
shameful neglect of his own hearthstone, re-
solved to make bold push to save him. Ac-
cordingy, one night last week, she attired her
self in mems apparel and proceeded to GER
tain house of undoubted reputation, tnothing
doubtful about it, rang the bell and was ad-
mitted. She smoked her cigar and chatted
with the strange women in the house
in as 'gallus' manner as it was
possible for her to assume for half an hour
or SO, when the bell rang again, and she heard
voice which she at once recognized as that of
her false lord. She dashed to the entry, con-
fronted him, made herself known to him (she
had no particular difficulty in doing that, by
the way), and led him home. He went like
conquered and submissive sheep, and learned
a lesson, it is to be hoped, which will last him
for good while The lady entered COM
plant against the house, but on reflection she
concluded that being witness in such a case
would not be pleasant, and so withdrew it.
