cAsEYs LITTLE BOY.

:asey's little boy was one the neighhor's
didn't like.
And Parson Hooker called him once an
'ionery little tyke."
Because the boy. at divers times-he did 1t
just for fun
Would give the parsons study bell an saw-
ful pull. and run.
Of freckles Casey's little boy had plenty and
to spare.
He had a saucy up-turned nose and likewise
SANDY" hair.
And all the neighbors chided him for all
the mischief done,
But 'Ah, gowan!'' was the response he
gave to everyone.
He hardly ever went to school: he didn't
have the time:
He had SO many brooks to wade, so many
trees to climb,
80 many funny boats to sail and waterfalls
to build,
With all these more important things his
busy mind was filed.
And sunday-school and church to him were
not Joy, alas!
II left to his desires he would calmly let
them pass.
He hated rules Of conduct and was nearly
always seized
With an immense desire to be doing as he
pleased.
There used to be a water-mill about mile
away
Where Casey's little boy would go and loiter
every day.
He loved to watch the water as 1t hurried
through the race,
And scores of other pleasures seemed to
center in the place.
One day the miller's little girl fell in the
rushing stream
As Casey's little boy came by and heard
her frightened scream.
He dove beneath the wave and brought her
safely to the bank
Just as his own poor strength gave out He
tottered back and sank.
The funeral was very large and everybody
cried
And took their grief to heart as though
their dearest friend had died.
And now they've built monument that
time cannot destroy,
Which says: Here Lies Hero" meaning
Casey's little boy.

A DOGS DILEMMA.
Can't Land ON British Soil Nor stay
ON Shipb0ard.

Can't Land on british Soil Nor Stay
ON Shipboard.
1t has long been the custom of Eng
ishmen to idealize the British customs
and port regulations and denounce
those of other countries as worthy of
the dark ages. But case occurred in
Liverpool the other day which scarcely
fits this boasted perfection. A board
of agriculture order came into force on
September Is, whereby dogs are. for
hidden to be landed in this land of free.
dom without license from the board, o
full description of the animal, and o
sworn declaration as to its destination.
The board reserved the right of impos-
ing six months canine quarantine at
the owners expense, and, the order
bristles with threats and punishments
for infringement or evasion. At Liver.
pool there is also local poIt regulation
to the effect that no dog shg be allowed
to remain aboard ship tAin the juris-
diction of the Mersey docks and har.
Dor board.
A steamer arrived at Liverpool re-
Gently the captain of which gloried in
the ownership of dog. Finding that
he could not take it ashore without ii
being seized by the board of agriculture
myrmidons and subjected to six months
quarantine, the captain kept it aboard
the ship, and was forthwith hauled be-
fore the magistrates and fined for
breach of the dock boards regulations
He now wants to know what the devil he
is to do, and the champions of British
perfection are unable to help him. The
only tangible course advised is that the
dog be killed and its body embalmed.
The objections to this are numerous. II
is manifest that dead dog is not of
much good, and, as far as the lawyers
can see, dog is dog whether alive OF
dead. Moreover, he cannot put ii
ashore into six months quarantine be-
cause it is entered on the ships papers
as live dog and it is treated by the
customs as bonded stores, which have
to be produced when the ship clears out
ward. Doubtless this worthy captain
before now has cursed the United States
regulations, and therefore his present
dilemma may be regarded as judg-
ment upon him.--London (Cor.) N. Y.
