From the St Louis Globe-Democrat ]


The pug which is as ugly as ii is useless
" rs not generally known or owned in the
United States prior to 1870, and England has
been acquainted with the breed only for the
past quarter century. Ills origin is in doubt,
aud dog fauciers have given him Muscovlte
or Dutch paternity Many maintain that
he is cross between the English bulldog
aud the small Dane; but no matter what his
origin or to what circumstances his popu-
laily mus, be attributed, certain it is that
he is very widely distributed, for he is
known and pctled in England, Russia,
France, Holland, and Japan. He has little
intelligence aud more Than ordinary degree
Of cleanliness, but no other recon mendation.
As to the standard If excellence in the
different poiuts in the pug, no dog ever
crca'ch wider discussion ard more varied
opinions. Suffice It 10 say that a typical
pug should he square, or what tue English
call ''cobhy,' IA body, with a short, round
head nose s,ubby, but not retrousse ears
short, thin aud black, and bright'eyes. The
black ON the face should he intense, running
in n straight lie aCross the forehead and
including he eyes The fashionable color
Of the body is known rs the "aprlcot fawn."
but the greatest consideration Is to have the
color, Whatever its shade, decided enough to
make very marked contrast with the black
line along the back.

The Printer 'ss-Boy Dream.

The Printer s-6oy Dream
on rickety stool, by rickety door
OF the editors room on the upper floor,
In the inner sanctum of pen and shears,
Sat printers boy of uncertain years.
Waiting for copy; and all was still
save the rapid scratch of rapid quill.
The carriers address was being born
In the old time verse for the New Years morn:
And the editor wrote like man inspired.
But the hour was late and the boy was tired.
Congressional records. in binding grim,
Aud patent reports looked down on him
Plump volumes revealing the Nations health,
And of books the editors only wealth,
Large files of papers, dusty and old,
in unswept corners quietly told
That his paper was somehow thing of dates.
While the plums were reserved for happier fates
But the books, and the files and the editor gray,
To the drowsy boy were fading away:
And the narrow room seemed gallery grand,
With rich-WrOught carvings Oh every manu-;
Beautiful volumes, quaint and old,
Fellows velums with clasps of gold,
Arranged in ebony cases rare
Greeted his vision everywhere;
And he noted-the books in tens were placed,
And a hundred volumes each alcove graced;
Eighteen were closed with braZen bar,
But the Nineteenth alcoye was still ajar;
No parchment here; the books were new
And the last was registered Elghty-two;
While boy in feature resembling him.
Not ragged and soied, but neat and trim.
Near the lower shelf. he seemed to see
Placing another marked Eighty three;
And an angel sat in golden chair
Writing In characters bright and fair
With nOiSelesS pen, and the volume bore
On the clear white margin Eighty-four.
But the vision vanished with-"Johnny come!
This to the foreman and then 60 home.
Wait, one line m0re-a merry cheer!
To each and all blithe New Year!"
Gone were the alcoves with carving old,
And volumes rich with clasps of gold.
The patent reports came back again,
The whitewashed wall and the dingy den
And the angel that sat in glory there
Was the editor gray in his old arm chair.
