How swift the sweet days ROLL

And every night = stroll

For rain and shine. in doors or out,
But brought these two together.

On Beacon street they meet and pass
A bow, and that is all.
Says she, The fool | met at York
Hope he won't come to call"

Politeness to the letter.
Says he, by Jove, I've seen that girl,
l wonder where l met hsr!'

A HISTORIC ANIMAL,
to the extent of only few mere
mentions" but occupying ne pronoun-
ced prominence in the Bible. 1t tells
of dogs tapping the blood of the
upgodly Ahab. Allusion is also made
to the fact that "the dog returns to his
vomit;' and, par pdrentheses, ! may
hazard the remark, h q the dog 10 the
only animal of the present day addicted
to the filthy and disgusting practice. 1t
IS also recorded that dogs licked the
sores Of Lazarus; but whether from
kindly comrnissration, or to partially
appease the pangs of hunger by lick
ing of thu remains of poultices, is left
to conjecture. 1t is we'll known that
dogs in Asia, Of the present time, are
savage, uncared-for ~outcasts, and were
most likley so then. There are some
other scriptural illusions to dogs, more
derogatory than the above, to which L
will refer in the ensuing chapters; but
utterly failed to find, aud could not
recall, q single instance Of any need OF
praise. encomium or benedicticn being
