THE FOLLOWING DORG.

Dad Petto, as everybody called him, had a dog, upon whom he lavished an amount of affection which, had it been disbursed in a proper quarter, would have been adequate to the sentimental needs of a dozen brace of lovers.  The name of this dog was Jerusalem, but it might more properly have been Dan-to-Beersheba.  He was not a fascinating dog to look at; you can buy a handsomer dog in any shop than this one.  He had neither a graceful exterior nor an engaging address.  On the contrary, his exceptional plainness had passed into a local proverb; and such was the inbred coarseness of his demeanour, that in the dark you might have thought him a politician.

If you will take two very bandy-legged curs, cut one off just abaft the shoulders, and the other immediately forward of the haunches, rejecting the fore-part of the first and the rear portion of the second, you will have the raw material for constructing a dog something like Dad Petto’s.  You have only to effect a junction between the accepted sections, and make the thing eat.
