PEGGYDOGGYREL.

When Peggy's arms her dog imprison,
always wish my neck were hisen.
How often would 1 stop and turn
To Get a pat from hand like hern.
And when she kisses Towser's nose,
oh don't wish that I were those
see his last appendage drag,
And wish had tail to wag.
Why must 1 pine and long for that
dog can ne'er appreciated
But will never own to her
I'm jealous of an ugly cur.
All. Peggy, is it really true,
That YOU do just as Others do7
You hug and pat that dog of yourn,
Yet wish the while that he would turn
According to better plan
Into a real good-looking man.
And, while getting on so wimmin',
I'd like to know if you young women
Hug your dogs, and hing again,
Just cause you amt got nary man9
If so, you girls are soft o. mellow
To hug dog, when any fellow
Would gladly get down on his knees
Just for the tintiest little squeeze.
I'll bet a coon I'll not be missin'
When YOU are in the mind for kissin'.
So, Peggy, it is wrong to waste
Your huggin' on an ugly beast.
A man can hug you back, he's stronger
So practice ON your dog no longer.

THE FOLLOWING short and simple
story possesses a point of force which
the contemplative mind will readily re-
cognize. It is told of the celebrated
St Fillipo Neri: .-s
He was living at one of the Italian
universities, when a young man, whom
he had known as boy, ran up to him
with face full of delight, aud told him
what he had been long wishing above
all things in the world was at length
fulfilled, his parents having just given
him leave to study the law and that
thereupon he mad come to the law
school in this university on account of
It's great fame, and meant to spare no
pains or labor in getting through his
studies as quickly and as well as possi-
BILE. In this way he ran on long time,
and when at last he came to stop,
the holy man, who had been listening
to him with great patience and kind
ness, said
Well, and when you have got
through your course of studies, what
do you mean to do then?"
"Then 1 shall take my doctors de-
gree" answered the young man.
"And then ?'' asked St. Fillippo
Neri, again. .t
"And then," continued the youth,
shall have number of difficult and
knotty cases to manage, and shall
catch peoples notice by my eloquence,
my zeal, my learning, my acuteness,
and gain great reputation"
"And then ?'' repeated the holy
man.
"And then" replied the youth, why
then [ shall be promoted to some high
Office or other; besides, shall make
money and grow rich"
And then ?'' repeated ST. Fillippo
Neri.
" And then," pursued the young law
yer" then 1 shall live comfortably
and honorably in wealth and dignity !;
and shall be able to look forward qui-
etly to happy old age"
And then ?" asked the old man.
"And then," said the youth" and
then-and then-I shall die.''
:. Here St. Fillippo again lifted up
his voice and said, ssAnd then % where
upon the young man made no answer,
0ut m1 cast down his head and went away.
In This last "And then ?" had pierced
IKE flash of lightning into his soul,
ana he could not get rid of it. Soon
after ne forsook the study of law, and
gave himself up to the ministry, and
spent the remainder of his days in
godly words and works.
