take ; and those who breed greyhounds on a large scale might 

 lo worse than follow the example of M.F.H., in giving a 

 [inner to the walkers and awarding a prize to the best walked 

 luppy. For our own part we rear a few choice puppies, to 

 irhich we have taken a particular fancy, at home, allowing them 

 o roam about at their own sweet will, and smiling cheerfully 

 yhen a list of their delinquencies (murdered cats, fowls, ducks, 

 orn clothes, and homesteads laid waste and devastated) is placed 

 )efore us, putting our hand in our pocket and paying the piper 

 ;heerfully, always hoping that some day a good tune may be 

 jlayed whilst we drink from the mythical cup that hails from 

 Mtcar, and is called Waterloo. The rest we send out, and 

 brtunately can congratulate ourselves on a long list of safe 

 aillets.
