V Funny Dog Story.

When the war in Italy commenced, tie
Zouaves embarked for Genoa; but as they
we're going on board the ship. they saw a
formal order forbidding the entrance Of all
dogs upon the vessel. As they were very
much attached to their dogs. they were
stricken with grief 1t was not easy to de-
ceive The sharp lookout kept by the superin-
tendant, for every soldier that advanced
along the narrow gang way. one by one as
their names we're called. Necessity is the
mother of invention. The drummers uu-
screwed their drums, and the best dogs Of
the regiment were concealed in the drums,
which were screwed up again. When regi-
mens embark. no music is played, but on
this occasion, the Colonel determined that
there should be music. He ordered the
trumpets and drums to take the head Of the
column and to play lively tune. The faces
Of the drummers-every one OF whom had a
dog 10 bis drum-may be conceived! The
trumpe,s sounded; the drums were all silent.
The Colonel got angry and bawled to know
Why the drums did not beat. There was
but one thing to do, and that was to beat
The moment The drums began to beat, innu
merable dogs began to howl and to bay,
to the astonishment Of everybody but the
Zouaves. Everybody looked right, left,
backward, forward-no sign Of dog any
where; and vet, the more the drunmers
beat the more the dogs bowed. At last a
spanieI fell out Of drum, rolled over and
over on the ground, got up and took TO bis
heels. bowling louder than ever. Roars oi
laughter greeted this explanation OF the mys.
,srious bowls. The intendant ordered the
drummers to advance on board, one by one,
and to roll the drum as be came. II bark
ing was heard, the drum was unscrewed, and
the dog put ashore. Only one dog got on
board; this was Touton, who kept quiet
through all the rolling. 1t need not be said
the Sd Zouaves adore Touton. He made bis
entree into Paris, at their head, few days
since.

= THE OLD FOLKS ROOM.


The old man rat by the chimney aldo,
His face was wrinkied and wan; lcan.
Aud'he leaned both bis hands on his stout oal
3 ASH all his work was doue.
His coat was of the old fashioned gray,
The pockets We're deep and wide;
Whore his ..specksy and his steel tobacco box
~ Lie sddsly side by side,
The old man liked TO stir the tire,
So near him the tongs were kept:
Sometimes he niused as be gazed at the Goals,
Sometimes be sat and slept.
What saw he in the embers there!
Alb! pictures of other years.
And. now and then awakened smiles,
But often started tears. . ~ y. -
His wife sat on the other side.
In n high back. fag seat chair, 81
I zee meath the pile Of her muslin cap
Fl The shine of her silvery hair.
There's a happy look on her aged face.
AS she busily knits for him,
And Nellie takes up the stitches dropped,
,isr For erandmother's eyes are dim.
Their children come in and read the news,
To pass the time each day;
how it stirs the blood in the old mans heart
To hear of the world far away!
Tis homely scene, told you SO,
But pleasant it is to view;
At least thought so myself,
Aud sketched it down for you.
Be kind unto the old, my friends.
They're worn with this worlds strife.
Though bravely once perchance they fought
The stern, fierce battle OF life.
They taught our youthful feet to climb
Upward life's rugged steep;
Then let US gently lead them down
TO where the weary sleep.

AN UNLIMITED GrEsT.-One ofthe most de.

wandered into our office yesterday morning
about 8 o'clock. He had arrived on the ST..
Louis Packet the evening before. He stated
that he had been stripped of his clothing BY
party Of thieves in saloon on Main street.
The night was the coolest Of the season, and
with nothing to cover his nakedness but his
under clothing be had wandered around in
the keen night air till nearly froxen,:: when he
made his way into our press room, and related
in very plausible way his stnight adventure. y
The city Marshal was informed of the affair
and immediately collected some necessary ar
ticles Of clothing for the "victim," and to
gether they set out to discover, if possible.
the whereabouts of the "stolen clothing y
which the officer did without much trouble.
In short, there had been no robbery commit.
ted. Unfortunately for himself the stranger
had been smiling" till he had got "half seas
over" and wandered into the hall over Ven
Gill, Jones b Cos store, and perhaps think
ing he was In his room st the hotel disrobed
himself and prepared for . nights reposs,
but the chilliness Of the atmosphere restored
his senses, and being in strange place, With .
brain still affected with liquor be imagined
he'd been robbed. The Marshal found his
