If the author were not singularly
modest. several Initials would be at
tached to this poetic effusion. 1t is not
my production, nor do | wish that if
were, 1t exhibits that reckless disre-
gard OF rhyme, reason and rhythm
which is supposed to indicate either
genius or softening of the brain. The
reader is at perfect liberty to hold either
opinion without narrowing anybody's
feelings.
The verses came into my possession
in this wise. Miss Clara one evening
took a notion to have her bangs rolled
on curl papers, instead of being seorched
with an iron.
you'll find some paperin the upper
drawer OF that little dressing ease,' she
said.
But, Miss Clara, the paper has some
verses written upon it, l yentured to
suggest: perhaps you would like to
keep them.''
eMhat an impairment maid you are"
said my lady, tartly. 'If | wanted to
preserve those idiotic sentiments you
wouldn't be directed to use that partic-
afar piece of paper to curl my bangs"
GWhile Miss Clara was remarking I
had glanced over the contents Of the
piper. Seeing that the poet referred to
apug dog, that paper was slipped up
sleeve for further referenc. aud an
.oEler piece substituted as curl paper.

unused my mistress. Il had been want
OF pneumonia before we left
New York. Mr.. Blanchard AID
yanced several degrees in my esti-
nation, when he sent me little Gyp,
with his compliments, on New Years
day. decided that he had some sense,
in spite OF his eyeglaSs and barbarous
English drawi. Then to think of send
ing me an original poem on the subject.
1t took away my appetite for several
days. That young man must be taught
a lesson or he IL inflict more of the same
sort ~
IF you should send Gyp back,
wouldn't that make the young gentle
man feel bad?' | suggested.
"Mind your own business, Eva" was
the crushing reply. 81 shall not send
TYP back for two reasons: first, like
the dear little brute; second, Mr..
Blanchard would give him to Mira
Farnharm. She wouldn't care how
much bad poetry came with every mail,
SO that she had Il real, lovely pug all her
own. Decidedly, Gyp shall stay. Mr..
Blanchard's poety is so intricate that it
ought to give sentimental twist to my
bangs. lii future, | shall cut that young
gentleman whenever [ meet him in So
ciety."
If descriptive catalogues tell the
truth. then Gyp is
A VALUABLE PUG.
One OF these descriptions says that
many sorts of beauty must be posse ssed
by pug which even approaches per-
lection. The coat must be of warm
fawn color, with dark streak from the
top OF the head along the spinal column:
the chest wide; the tail have double
twist like a we'll executed pretzel: three
folds OF fat or loose skin set like collar
about the throat; a square muZZle; the
face SCOT black, adorned with an in
finitesimal nose, and lustrous google
eyes. Also lot of other points which
| forget. But Miss Clara'S png answers
the above requirements, and can bear
testimony that he is bright and intelli-
gent. He has full share of the irri-
table temper which usually accom-
panies those qualities in the human ami
NAL.
HOW AN ARISToCRATIC PUG LIVES.
When pnggy came it took a carpenter
eleven days to'fit up apartments for
Gyp's convenience. Then Miss Clara
supervised his wardrobe, consisting of
four blankets. / did the Work-under
protest. One blanket, for street and
carriage wear. is of white cider down
flannel Bound with primrose yellow
silk. the word "Gyp" being embroid-
cred in arrasene and gold thread On
each side. One for house,wear is of old
rose quilted satin trimmed with ivory
white fringe and little silver bells. The
exercise coat is of plain Quaker gray
trimmed with red braid. A night coat
of.black cloth lined with silver-fox fur
keeps Gyp from feeling winters chill
blast when doing near thermometer
registering so deg. Fahrenheit.
Every morning GYp must have
warm bath and be scrubbed with i'm
ported CASTLE soap; then brushed dry
with silyer-handled brush. After a
breakfast of bread and cream, the exer-
else blanket is donned, and he must be
persuaded to scamper about the serv-
ants hallway for half an hour, in order
that he may gain appetite for the more
substantial meal to follow. Then,
adorned with his oXidized silver collar,
bearing his name on one side and Miss
Clara's monogram on the other, his
glossy coat being covered with the satin
house blanket, he is ready to amuse
Miss Clara or her friends until evening.
