a pedler with poodle dogs did you say
Jane? Well I'm glad of that. for a 200
die dog | must have if everything else goes
to rack and ruin. Good morning, sir. my
domestic informs me that you sell Guadru-
peds Of the canine species guess I'd better
be little more implicit, he don't seem to
apprehend yet. Sell dogs don't your All!
now bis Obtuse mind is penetrated at last;
strange, how necessarily vulgar some folks
are. What's the price Of the one With the
stand, dear me how very concise one is
obliged to be, looks at me for all the world
just as Zeke used to, whenever | attempted
to make use Of refined expressions.
/ asked yon the price of the poodle with
a curl in his tail. Five dollars monsIrous
however, ifhe's a real King Charles Span
iel as you say, and won't grow any larger.
III giveit.
Now, Jane, I've got real King Charles
at last, and III ever catch Won spilling hot
water on Inn, lltturn you oct of doors in-s
stead Of the dog.
Oh. dear ia sell myself for sixpence
this morning, or what's Just the same, I'd
accept the first man who asks me for my
youthful affections. don't believe war
ever so decomposed as at present. Heze-
kiah Shocks has gone aud married that
Mary Smith, who hasn't CT mt in her name,
and isn't at all talented like some other
folks might mention. '5pose be was smit
ten with her beauty, though for my part, |
never could see che was hurt, with it, two
great staring eyes, and brown, chris was
all she had to recommend her, when I'm
nj cd u-Ith I
names who has glossy black hair and small
Jetty eyes, who is q secoBd--secOnd-Raph
ael! (believe he was a pOet) in talents,
who was BON to fill higher position than
ever Zeke Black could provide for her,
and yet Hezekish in his blind folly has
passed her by for the detestable Smith
family.
But the deepest grief of nv heart is be-
cause of my dog FIdo. Six weeks ago
paid one shining five dollar gold piece for
him, and another for beautiful little col
lar and chain, and now alas
There feelings that time cannot benumb
Nor torture shake, else mine now would be cold and
dumb
The collar is useless-for. l weep TO tell it
my King Charles has grown to he most
disgusting rat terrier. | can't give him
away nObody'll have him about Hes
nearly eat up with fess. and TO make the
matter worse. | believe Jane is inwardy
gratifed by my disappointment.
Seems to me the sable wing of-of who
ever brings trouble here on earth, is hover
| ing over me TO day James gone out, and
L, IN grieving over my sOrrows have let
that pudding burn Up, and all the meat
cook dry; lve got charcoal images all over
my face trying to make that frs burn, and
goodness alive if there don't come Don
| Fritz What shall | do? Teeth curIs. and
! everything else up stairs; can't get there
without going through the front hail, and
as luck would have it the side light shut
tiers are open SO be can see right in. I'll
have to sit here and let him ring, there's no
help, guess he's gone now, I'll just peep ou;
of tt e door. oh mercy he looked right at
me, smiled seornfuIIy, and walked males,
ticaIly down the street; another hope lost
