THE DOGS OF MADISON SQUARE.
One of the Interesting Features OF the
decentralization and SDarrOwa

One of the Interesting Features OF the
Observation-Disclosures and SparrowA.
The children, tho nurses, the sparrows
and the dogs-those are the features in
Madison square, And the dogs are good
dogs Dogs can be bought Money will
bring the finest strain that Europe can pro-
duce; and what are a few hundred or a few
thousand dollars to Mr. Levant, who has
Just robbed this or that corporation Of q

the finest breed Mr.. Levant always wants

tors his vanity. A check for q few hundred
and he gets it And there it is in Madison
square Not that all the dogs in Madison
square belong TO Mr. Levant No; there are
some true lovers Of dogs, and as money is
abundant among a few and dogs are not SO
costly after all, they get the best of their
kind and we see them well represented in
this parterre of the haut ton There are
dogs like muffs, with three black dots at
one end. two of which represent the eyes
and the third the nose. There are the Skye
terriers They look not unlike hairy cater
pillars and scuttle along over the surface Of
the earth without any apparent means Of
locomotion
There are the black -and-tan terriers, so
naked they make you snlvor. 80 Irall tney
seem as though they would break There
are big dogs shifting inquisitively along the
ground, subiimely Indifferent to all around
them, and ignoring all advances with that
utter unconsciousness with which a Wall
street banker might ignore the gambler
with whom he had played overnight, or q
dude, the barkeeper he had called Charley,
old fel," at 3 o'clock that very morning.
There are great, big -limbed fellows, whose
muscles you see working under their supple
skins and silky coats-fellows who give yoL
such a respectful sense of power, not
altogether unmixed with nervous tremors
There are the light-hearted and light
headed auburn settlers with their loving
eyes, tearing about and always losing their
masters, and then, with heads erect, looking
round like fools to see if they can detec.
from which direction comes the we'll known
whistle There are puss, vacuous, soulless
creatures, the veriest pigs of canirity.
There are white French poodles and black
Spanish pcodles shorn into carica:e, sem
blances of heraldic lions There are dogs
with long legs like herons, there are dogs
with short legs resembling worms, that seem
to crawl rather than run, and thee are dogs
beyond the power OF ciassi ication or des-
cription So with the children, the nurses,
the policemen, the dogs and the sparrows,
overtopped by the trees, and unlerIaid by
the grass, we have as bright picture as
this broad land can show.-New York

AN OLD HAND.

Bius-veined and wrinkled. knuckly and
brown,
This good old hand is clasping mine;
bend above it, and, looking down,
study its aspect, line by line
This hand has clasped a thousand hands
That long have known no answering
thrill:
Some have moldered in foreign lands
Some in the graveyard on the hill
Clasped q mothers hand. in the day
When it was little and soft and white
Mother, who kissed it and went away
To rest till the waking in Coils good
Light.
Clasped a lovers hand, years agone,
Who sailed away and left her in tears;
Under Sahara's torrid zone
His bones have whitened years and years
Clasped the hand OF good man true,
Who held it softly and fell asleep,
And woke no more, and never knew
How long that impress this would keep
Clasped so many, SO many so few
That still respond to the living will,
Or can answer this pressure SO kind and
true;
So many that lie unmoved and still.
C.asped at last this hand, my own;
And mine will .molder, too, in turn,
Will any clasp it when am gone.
In vain L study this hand to learn.

Meagerness OF sunday-schooI Libraries
A voice Of complaint Is heard from all
over the land about the meagerness Of the
Sunday school libraries More weak stud
finds its way into Sunday school library
books than into any other class Of iitera-
ture. Neither minister nor Sunday school
teachers have time TO read the books before
putting them into the library. The WORK
is sometimes put into the hands Of com
mittee. The persons who compose the com
mittee are either too busy to read the books
or elss they are not booSish, and are afraid
to take the responsibility Of saying which
books are good and which are not The
upshot OF the matter il generally that the
selection is left to the bookseller, who l. told
to send so many dollar worth Of books in
bindings OF appropriate colora society
has been formed in Elzabeth, y. j., the
efforts Of which will b devoted - the i'm
