PERsEvrRINa RAr.-The following
anecdote of rat, has been related to
US by lady, who vouches for its correct
ness.-One winter evening, several years
ago, she was alarmed by the screams OF
her youngest child. a, girl about three
years old, who slept in small bedroom
over the pantry closet. She ran to her
assistance, and on opening the chamber
door, saw large rat jump from the bed
and run into a closet. The face and
hands of the girl were besmeared with
blood, and on examination it was found
that the ends Of all her fingers on one
hand were gnawed off close TO the nail.
While she remained with the child dres-
sing her wounds, the rat came out ofhis
hole several times, with the evident inten-
ton Diminishing the supper he had so un-
ceremoniously begun. The last time he
seemed determined to dispute his pas
sage with the mother, and only retired
on the appearance of the husband who
had at that moment come home. And
even then, lie did not trouble himself 10
go very far, for he went just inside of the
hole, and sat down-probably with his
back to the wall, as he kept his tail stick
ing out under the crack few inches
from the hole. Tie man, who loved a
Joke, Immediately seized the tail with
ono hand. and applied the flame Of the
candle to it, MS nigh tho beginning NJ
possible. Then commenced the tug
The rat squealed, and kicked, and pull
ed before, and the man giggled, and pull
ed behind, until the rat, getting tired of
such warm fire in bis rear, concluded
to face bis enemy. He accordingly turn
ed round, and putting his head out ofthc
hole, seized the candle in his mouth, g.
deca nped, leaving the skin Of his tail in
the hands Of bis adversary who, more
over was obliged to. watch all night in
fear that the rat, after having regaled
himself with one end of the candle,
would set fire to the house with the 9TH
er, and run away by the light of it,
No mischief was done, however, and
the rat was never seen afterwards.
