The l'ate of a Fighting- Dorg.
BT SIM TEI.TOH.
A man be ewned a terrier dorg
bob-tailed, onery cuss
And that there purp got that there man.
In many an ugly mus :
For tbe man be was on bis muscle,
Aud tbe dorg was on his bite,
So to kick that dorg-goned animile
-Was sure to raise a fight. :
A woman owned a Thomas cat,
That fit- at fifteen pound ;
And other cats got up and slid
When that there cat was rouud.
The man and his dorg came along one
Where the woman she did dwell.
And the purp he growled so ferociously,.
Then he went for the cat like .
He tried to chaw the neck of the cat.
But the est, he wouldn't be chawed,
1 So he lit on the back of that there dorg, - -
And bit! and clsswed I and clawed 1. fi
Oh, the hair it flew! and the purp heyouled!
As the claws went iuto his hide ;
And chunks of flesh were peeled from bis back;
Then flummuxed, and kicked and died.
The man he ripped, and cussed, and swore,
As bu fathered a big brickbat.
That he would be durued os? entiully
If he didn't kill that cat ! he did !
But the woman allowed tdip'd be blessed if
And snatched up the old shotgun.
Which sho fired-, and peppered his diaphragm
With bird-shot number one.
They toted him borne on a window blind,
And the doctor cured him up ;
But he never was known to fight again,
Or to own another purp. ,
Folks may turn up their snootsat this rhyme,
I d-jn't care a cu.s for that !
All I wanted to show is, that fijrhting dorgs
May tackle the wrong Tom cat.

The following arc some of the , fold
lollcs to be uiet witu in travelling over
