GENERAL Daniel E. Sickles pre-.

the New York Tribune. He may be
found OF the opera at night or at
some place of resort up-town-a club
or hotel. I saw him the other even

group of friends, engaged in an ami
mated discussion, which drifted
into fervid description by him of
his encounter with the famous Mar.
quis de Leuville. I asked one of
the Generals friends what it was
that gave Sickles his perennial
youth, and the reply was: "The
fact that man has only one leg ma
turally makes him take care of him.
self better than other men. Then
Sicklss has property enough, so he
has no reason to worry. It is care
and worry that furrow O mans fore

good investments in Mexico, mining

derstand."

Old Dog Tray.

All who love "man's truest friend
the dog-will thank us for pub.
lishing the old, old lines Of the cong
in which a feeling tribute is paid to
the noble animal which clings to his
master through all the vicissitudes
at life-ever true in misfortune as in
prosperity, in disgrace as we'll as in
good repute; ever faithful to his in
terests, SO far as he understands
them, responsive to his slightest
wish in all duties imposed upon him.
"Old Dog Tray" is but a represen-
tation of his kind, as all owners Of
dogs will readily discover in the SEN
timent of the lines:
The morn Of life is past,
And evenings come at last,
IL brings TO mo dream OF q once happy
OF merry forms I've seen
Upon the village green.
Sporting with NY old dog tray.
CHORUS:
Old dog Trays ever faithful,
Grief cannot drive him away;
He's gentle, he is kind, I'll never, never
find,
A better friend then old dog Tray.
The forms called my own
Have wants he'd one by one,
The loved ones, the dear ones have all
passed away;
Their happy smiles have flown,
Their gentle voices gone,
I've nothing left but old dog Tray.
When thoughts recall the past
His eyes are on me cast,
know that he feels what my breaking
heart would say,
Although he cannot speak,
I'll vainly, vainly seek
A better friend than old dog Tray.
