Old Dugoml eatno into the bar-room
tin* oilier day and took a sent among
the idlers there assembled. The dog
igieslion was under discussion, and
after listening to a few wonderful sto
ries, ltugged clipped in as follows: i
“.Vow, boys, you may talk as you
please about the smart things doga
have done, but i can just tell you
something that will lay over all your
stories.
“I don't sped you’ll believe a man
when lie’s telling ye the truth, but
lids is as tine as the golfa,*!.
“You all know that big ‘jppllow dog
or mine f Wall, that dog is the smart
ed dog in tlttß drive, lie’s an Antel
lUHtual dog, lie ts. ’ Now, 1 know you
won’t believe me, but that nr dog has
been learning to sing.”
“I,earning losing? (let out!" in
; terrupted one of the listeners.
“A cs, sir: that’s so, every word of
is ; and I'll just tell you ltow it was.
i The other night we had some singing
at our house. You know our Sal’s
been goin’to the singjh’school lately,
and she and the other gale, and the.
young !V Hers what go, they got so
they can siptawk like the very blazes.
And so most every night they meet
at somebody's house and practice.
“Well, the other night there was a
whole crew on ’em at our house, and
they had a big lime. Such a screech
in' and squallin' and a belleritf you
never hearu in all your lives. A’ou'd
a thought that a whole gang of tom
cats had broken loose and tickled
Squire Julies’ big bull, and wor just
having it hot and heavy. Well, that
nr dog was in the room while they
wor siugin’, and In* was the most in
terested eivjitmv I ever saw. Me
watched 'em beating time and goiu’
j through their manoovers, and 'peered!
to iiinterxla'ul them ns well as they
did. At first they sung lively tunes,
, \mi know ; and party soon, when they
got tired of these, they commenced
: on psalm < and hymns, and other seri
ous things. The dog, lie 'jieared to
like these better than he did the live
ly tunes, and sot down as close up to
'em as he could while they sung.
“At list the gals coax nil dim Hlow
j hard toning Old Hundred. You know
• hat uu old teuring hose voice Jint
-s. When h.e commenced the dog
lie gill to get dreadfully interested.
He pinted his nose right up at the
eelinViMi-V every time Jim come to
the low- notes, lie’ll sorter howl."
“Who, Jim
“No, blast ye ; the dog. IMowhard
lie snug aw*iy for a while, and just
then In* turned round and kinder bit
his hind legs.”
“tlosh amity! lilowhurd ?”
“No, you all-tired fool you; the dog,
of course. Then sez Ito the old wo
man, ‘Nancy Jane,’ sez 1, ‘you just
bet your boots tlmt dog's something
in Ins head.’ And Nancy Jane sez
she, ‘you get out—l shan't do it.’
Just then the dog picked up some
thin' in his mouth, and hulled out of
the room quicker’n a streak. I didn’t
pay mueh attention to it, and nobody
else noticed it.
“When Blowhard finished, all the
gals crowded around him, nud com
menced llatterin’ on him, when sud
dcnly w'e all heard a noise, ft wa*
the orfullest mixed tip noise ever any
body heerd. Everybody was scared
nearly to death. Six of the gals fainted
away into IHowliard's arms all at once.
They wor iuuigiu’ on to bint on nil
sides, like In-ans on a pole.
“Blowhard sot still for a miuit or
two; it v.ns more huggin* than he
could stand, and lie wilted right oflf
his si -at on to the lloor, and tried to
erull under the sofa Before ho got
more’ll his head and shoulders under,
the gals ail eame and t aught him by
the feet and tried to pull him out.
“Blowhard In* hung on to the sofa
legs and bellowed muider, and the
-;ais screeched, and some on ’em run
round the room nineteen times iu a
minil before they could find auythiug
else to faint onto.
“I picked up a candle aud rushed
bOo the hack yard, with two or three
of the spunkiest men; aud what do
you t hink that ar intellectual dog was
doin’ ? He'd got a music book spread
out la*for<* him, and lie was beating
time with his tail on a tin pan, and a
howlin’ ‘Old Hundred’ like all (*os-
I sensed.”
