as the years came back.
"Fido and you and |, under the bell

cool the grass was, and how sweet was the
fragrance of the flowers Can you remem-

MISCELLANY.


The Bingham dog and the Calico cat
Side by side on the table sat;
Twas half past twelve, and what do you think
Neither Of them had slept wink
And the old Dutch clock and Chinese plate
Seemed to know, as sure as Tate.
There was going to be an awful spat.
q wasn't there-I simply state
What was told me by the Chinese plate
The Bingham dog went "bowwow. VOW
And the Calico cat replied meow
And the air was streaked for an hour or SO
With fragments of bingham and calico
While the old Dutch clock On the chimney
place
Up with its hands before its face,
For 1t always dreaded family row.
(Now mind. I'm simply telling you
What the old Dutch clock declares is true)
The Chinese plate looked very blue,
And walled "Oh, dear. what shall we dof'
But the Bingham dog and the Calico cat
Walloped this way and tumbled that
And utilized every tooth aud claw
In the awfuest way you ever saw
And, oh how the Bingham and calico flew
Don't think that | exaggerate-
| got my news from the Chinese plate)
Next morning where the two had sat,
They found no trace Of the dog or cat;
And some folks think unto this day
That burglars stole the pair away;
But the truth about that cat AMI pup
Is that they ate each other up
Now, what do you really think of that,

And that is how came to know
