shears
I shorten your ears,
Which might be unpleasant to you."

The long-eared bat
Was so mad at that
He flew over lands and seas,
Till in Paris (renowned
For its fashions) he found
A hat that he wore with great ease.

=Another Sagacious Dog.=--In No. 11 of HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE a story was
told of a sagacious newspaper dog. Having read this, a Western editor
sends the following story of his dog, in which he says: "My dog is a
beautiful Gordon setter, and has been so well trained that while the
carrier is delivering papers on one side of the street, Bob, the dog,
delivers on the other. He receives his papers folded, half a dozen at a
time, and going to the first place, lays the whole bundle down, and then
picks it up, all but one, and so on till they are all gone."

HIS FIRST VALENTINE.

CHORUS OR ENVIOUS RIVALS. "Oho! Jimmy Dobbs is in Love!"
