THE GOOD TIMES COMING.
BY WILL ALLEN DRoMGooLE.

Grandma Golf said curious thing
"Boys may whistle, but girls must sing"
That's the very thing heard her say
To Kate, no longer than yesterday
"Boy's may whistle" OF course theS may
If they pucker their lips the proper way.
But for the life of me 1 cantsee
Why Kate can whistle as well as me.
"Boys may whistle, but girls must sing"
Now call that a curious thing
If BOYS can whistle, why can't girls, too?
It's the easiest thing in the world to do.
First you do that when you do this
Just like you were fixing up for kiss.
It's a very poor girl, that's all Isay,
Who can't make out to do that way.
"Boys may whistle" but girls may not;
A Whistles song with the noise knocked OUT
Strayed off somewhere down the throat,
Everyt thing lost but the tuneful note
So If bows can whistle and do itwell
Why cannot girls, will somebody tell?
Why can't they do what boy can do?
That is the thing should like to know
went to father and asked him why
Girls couldn't whistle as wella as l.
And he said the reason that girls must sing
Is because giIPs singular thing
And grandma laughed till knew she'd ache,
When said thought it all a mistake.
"Neyer mind, little man." heard her say.
"They will make you whistle.enough some day. y

LAWRENCE HUTTON'S DOG.

To go back little. Mop was the first
person who was told of my engagement.
and he was the first to greet the wife
when she came home bride, to his own
house. He had been made to under
stand, from the beginning, that she did
not like dogs-in general. And he set
himself out to please, and overcome the
unspoken antagonism. He had deli
cate part to play, and he played it with
delicacy and a tact which rarely have
been equalled. He did not assert him
self; he kept himself in the background;
he said little; his approaches at first
were slight and almost imperceptible,
but he was always ready to do or to help
in an unaggressive way. He followed
her about the house, up stairs and down
stairs, and he looked and waited. Then
he began to sit on the trail of her gown,
to stand as close to her as Was fit and
proper; once in a while to jump upon
the sofa beside her, or into the easy
chair behind her, winRing at me from
time to time in his quiet way.
And at last he was successful. One
dreary winter, when he suffered terribly
from iufiammatory rheumatism, he found
his mistress making a bed for him by
the kitchen fire. getting up in the middle
of the night to go down TO look af er h M
when he uttered in pain the cries be

very rare old brandy. kept by me for
some extraordinary occasion of festiv-
itv, was missing. was told that it had
