THE PESSIMIST.
"A dog sat out in the midnight chill, and howled at the beaming moon: his knowledge of music was strictly r.il, and his voice was out of tune. And he howled and howled as the hours went by, while dodging the bricks we throw till the moon was low in the western sky, and his voce was split in two. And there wasn't a thing at which to how! over which a pup would weep, and the course of the dog was wrong and foul, for people were wild to sleep. "There are plenty of men like l that blamed fool hound, who yell when there's nothing wrong, disturbing the country with senseless sound —the pes-s:niir-t's doleful song.''
