In reply to the Appeal we have to say
that the last four stanzas do not strike US as
good poetry, or rather as poetry at all--all
poetry being good, though some rhyming is
intolerable trash. The remainder Of the
poem is of a different kind-certainly
worthy of publication and capable of rous.

The Greek Husband.

Olive Harper writes to the st. LOUIS
Globe Democrat of life in Greece: Here is,
indeed, in one respect the "promised
land'' for the women, for more devoted
husbands women never had. A Greek
man is only content when he can lavish
upon his wife all the luxuries in the way
Of dress the female heart can desire. He
is only happy when, in company with his
wife, in the house, in the street, or on the
promenade, she is the best dressed of all
the fair, With the Greek husband there
is no grumbling consent to bestow upon
you enough to buy pair of boots, while
he spends ten times that amount with his
friends in champagne suppers; no long
drawn visage as he doles out stingy
sum while delivering solemn lecture as
to female extravaganza. Not q bit of it.
On the contrary, the Greek husband does
not lead his wife through by-streets for
fear of dry goods stores, when she wishes
to 60 out for little walk. He leads her,
on the contrary, past the most fashion.
able stores, and observes with the eve of
the critic all the new styles, and is really
Cadies1 and truly willing to spend
his money for his own wife. Even for
fear she should not be considered as
lovely as some one else, he goes to per-
tuners, he buys cold cream, rice powder,
delicate pink for cheeks little blanched
by the stern realities of motherhood; he
buys little black for eye-lashes, to
brighten eyes that have become somewhat
dimhed bytears, perhaps, or vigils over
sicklN babies end he not only gives his
full and free consent to their use. but he
himself will artistically apply, them, and
afterward compliment. his wife upon her
beauty till her heart swells with love that
he knows SO we'll how to retain, fresh as
when the first vows were pIighted. Yes,
of q veritya Abe Greeks are, bad men, but
good husbands and tender fathers. 5s'R

4 DoS on the Police Force.

There is q dog in Allegheny, Pa,
owned by Officer Mitchell, of the,night
polica force, concerning which theRitts.
bureh Telegraph speaks thus: "He is
common. looking, medium-sized, iet.black
dog Mitchell came in possession Of him
one bleak winter night last seasonsMhen
the dog was shivering on the street in a
starving condition. He was taken home
and provided for, and ever since he has
proved valuable addition to the police
force by assisting the officer in the dis
charge of his duties. He follows the off.
Ger increasingly on all his rounds, and
.when-aeether officer raps for assistance
the dog makes haste with all speed to the
spot and commences to bark. Should any
of the officers have occasion to give chase
after anyone the dog marks out the man,
and catching him by the pantaloons de
tains him by worrying until the arrival of
the officers. A short time since the Off
GERS succeeded in capturing q prisoner
that without the assistance of the dog
would have escaped. The dog can discern
Intoxicated persons from others, and should
he meet with such case on his own per-
ambulations he keeps up howl until an
officer arrives. The police always make
it point to 60 to the. spot where the dog
is barking, and they are never fooled.
life is that he will not accompany Officer
Mitchell in daylight when dressed in citi-
zen's clothes. He sleeps in daytime and is
always on duty at night with the officer,
who prizes him highly"

Ear-Nailfng.

The Pail Mall Gazette says: "There is
peculiar charm about some of our quaint
old English customs which, in the eyes of
the reverent, redeems them from barbarity,
and even invests them with % romance to
which perhaps they have no actual claim,
except on the score of antiquity. In some
districts Of Lancashire especially the
sports and pastimes of the workingman
are often relics of bygone years that appear
at first sight hardly in accordance with the
spirit of the age at least as it is under
stood by superficial observers. An incl
dent recorded by the Leigh Chronicle as
having occurred the other day in a public
house near Golborne is a case in point.
Several men were assembled in the hostel
ry, and among them sinker named
Roscoe. During the evening the CONVEX
sation turned upon what is called cru.
cifixiOn,' which means mailing a mans
ears to the door for some such valuable
consideration as a pot Of beer. Roscoe,
who was in the humor for amusement,
consented to have his ears nailed to the
door, with the additional provision that he
was to drink pot of ale while in that
situation. He said that the ordeal was
nothing to him, but he wanted to know
whether it. wasn't hard to get all the beer
out of the jug" The difficulty must in
deed have been immense, but as it was
overcome by Roscoe, and he showed HIM
self SO very capable of taking sustenance
when his ears were nailed to a door, it
seems almost pity that they were ever

A Discovery at Pompeii.

The Pu,sgolo Of Naples reports an inter-
esting discovery at Pompeii, consisting of
~ number of wooden tablets with writings
They were found carefully arranged in an
ivory box. The backs Of the tablets are
smooth and unwritten upon, and their
faces, upon which the writing is found,
are surrounded with kind of frame or
border. They are either separate or tied
together book shape, with Irvine in bun
dies of three or four. On the tablets thus
bound together the writing is almost al
ways in ink; but the characters on the
single ones, which had been covered with
wax. were engraved, and ArSstfh legible,
though the wax has disappeared, as the
sharp point of the style lAdkc,tk into the
wood beneath. The separate tablets con-
tain receipts for the payment of money,
and bear the consular dAtA, with the name
of the day and the month and the amount
paid. On the outside edge of the center

written an index OF. the names contained

A Funny Farce.

Says the London correspondent of Ap-
pletons' Journal: "One of the funniest
and, therefore, most absurd farces I
have seen for long time has been pro-
duced at the Adelphi, where Mr. Hail.
days version of Nicholas Nickleby' is
still running. 1t is by Mr.. Martin Becker
Here is the plot, condensed like Austria
liam meat: An eccentric old gentleman,
Mr.. Fanderpump, having, as we'll as his
memory serves him, secreted 900 in
bank notes of 1000 each in pair Of old
slippers, of all places in the world, finds,
to his horror, that somebody has stolen,
lost or mislaid the articles supposed to be
thus richly lined, and in this terrible ex-
tremity offers his well-dowered daughter
in marriage to whichever of her many
suitors may succeed in finding the missing
treasure. The stage is soon bestrewn
with all manner of secondhand slippers,
saving only the pair that is required Sub
sequently Mr.. Vanderpump gets into a
towering passion in the consulting-room
of dentist, who, to keep him quiet, makes
him inhale the laughing gas used for the
purposes of painless dentistry. tits while
under this influence that the old gentle
man kicks off his boots, when inside them
are found the missing notes. Miss Van
derpump marries the dentist and all ends
happily.'

Care of Horses.

The London Horse Book says: All
horses must not be fed in the same proper
ton, without regard to their ages, their
constitution and their work; because the
improperly of such practice is self-evi-
dent. Yet it is constantly done, and is the
basis of diseases of every kind.
Never use bad hay on account of the
cheapness, because there is no proper
nourishment in it.
Damaged corn is exceeding injurious,
because it brings on inflammation of the
bowels and skin diseases. Chat is better
for old horses than hay, because they can
chew and digest it better.
When horse is worked hard its food
should be chiefly oats; if not worked hard
its food should chiefly be hay, because oats
supply more nourishment and flesh-mak-
ing material than any other kind of food;
hay not so much.
Rack-feeding is wasteful. The better
plan is to feed with chopped hay, from a
Manager, because the food is not then
thrown out, and is more easily chewed and
digested.
Sprinkle the hay with water that has
salt dissolved in it, because it is pleasing
to the animals taste and more easily di-
gested. A teasponful of salt in bucket
of water is sufficient.
