THE DOG TRAMP.

In dingy depot whore people come and 60
To and fro on missions IN an endless now,
Perched upon the corner OF the seat puppy
sat,
Cooked his little head ana wonderedi YER,
Was he strayed or stolen, or had some come'
Jumped aboard the train ana left the puppy tc
his fatei
If he had human tongue tale he could un
But puppies are not ~erwise, and so he never
told.
Just baby puppy, awful lost guess,
Ready to DO talZeh SAre OF without no or yes;
Wants LITTLE pettifs Or tender piece o.
meat
A saucer filled with milk, perhaps, or some
thing else TO eat
He's longing for a master, whether lord or
whether scamp,
But no ono seems TO notice him and SO he starts
bis tramp
'Tisn't very easy for baby dog to find
His way among the crowded thoroughfares OF
human kind.
He isn't old enough to fight, he can not hold his
own
Against the wicked dogs that steal away HIS
mutton bone
So sad and dirty on he drags along his lonely
way
His eyes are blinded by the rain, his feet are
clogged with clay.
He fnds nook to shelter him beneath a stack
Of straw
And there he curls himself to sleep while hun
ger hangs hts Jaw.
If dogs have dreamy visions, then the puppy
sleeping there
Partook OF rarest viands In the night OF his
despair;
For he woke up with whimper and he looked
around to see
What the fairy god had brought him-but it was
adream, poor hei
Over heiqs Of greehest grass where daisies fair
and white
Lift up their pretty heads to his muzzle with
Along the dusty road that passes by the school
house door,
The baby dog he wanders till his feet are cut
and sore.
The children want TO pet him, but their parents
drive away
The little dog because they say he isn't At to
stay.
Awfully unlind he thinks IT is to be tramp,
And he is just a baby dog and not wicked
scamp.
He's whimpered Of o dozen gates and begged at
countless doors,
But no kind soul will shelter him. however bad
he 'plores.
IT'S very hard to be dog especially when
young;
How gladly would he tell his tale II he had hui
man tongue,
A house With many windows looms before his
weary way;
Perhaps the people there are kind enough TO
let him stay.
IT'S paradise Of paupers old and young, the
blind, the halt
The aged sire wrecked in life who can not earn
his salt,
Tho tender-hearted maiden and the rugged lads
who scoff-
They do not turn against the tramp nor drive
the puppy Of.
The little pSuper babies they divide their milk
with him,
Until he IL quite satisfied that life is not SO
dim.

He eats and Sleeps among them, and he is o
