TO KAISER,' A DACHSHUND.

[To TEE EDITOR or THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR,—Will these verses on ' Kaiser,' a Dachshund, written by a little girl, be worthy of a space among your dog-stories ?-

I have a friend, a dear long friend, Whose body seems to have no end, Whose podgy paws are broad and bandy, Whose colour is a reddish sandy.

He looks at you with pleading eyes, And wrinkles on his forehead rise; And then you feel you must embrace

A dog with such a human face. E. FRY.
