New York.-In a picturesque little

the oldest Of cemeteries. The casual
visitor here, inspecting the inscrip.

to see records of long forgotten gen.

instead the stones contained nothing
but inscriptions to dogs, with an oc-

DRY Of our pet cat, Smutty." Such a
tumble OF inscriptions meet the eyes
that the visitor begins to wonder
whether the souls of Fido and Smutty
now rest peacefully side by side or
whether they arise at the witching
hour to fight out once more their life.

fences Of Harlem would be preferable
