Half a century ago no house was Thought
to be half furnished that had not more than
one dog in it. At length the frequency OF
the horrible and incurablc disorder occa-
stoned by the bite of these animals, blew up
the dog mania for that Time. 1t is now re-
vivng again, but it is hoped the public press
will pour out eloqucnce or argument enough
to render dog keeping as ridiculous to lndl-
viduals, as it is offensive and dangerous to
the community.


Who has not seen instances where cru
city is shown to all the animated works OF
the Almighty, except half dozen pugs,
and twice as many kittens and cross parrots'
Betty and John are inferior beings to Tabby
and Pompcs' Fowls are boiled for the dog,
and fish fried for the cat, by gentle folks,
who never think of giving morsel to relieve
the poor.


The following description of dog gerry is
an extract from the Invisible Spy.

large tray before her, fil,d with great
number of COMBS, with one of which she is
smoothing and setting in order the hair OF a
spaniel she is nursing upon her lap

seeing the comb she is using, snatch it from
her hand. and strike it in her face.

| Maid" Indeed, Madam, did not see
it."


Lady Lovedog.-"Take that, impuden,
slave and that! and that! see if it will clear
your sight, and make you remember another
time" These sharp words were accompa'
MED by sharp blows, first on one shoulder
and then OH the other: when turn'ng to tht
dogs who were CRYING and yelpiing, her la
dyship thus addressed them: Dear, goo.
natnred darlings! you hate to see me angry
don't We, though it be in your own cause -
Come here. poor Pysche, where's Cupid!-
Prince, what makes you so dull this morn
ing. you don't frisk and caper as y on used t
do: suppose your bed was not half made a
