OLD GRIMES CAT


POOR Tabby's dead, that good old cat,
We meier shall see her more
She used to cat both lean and fat,
And lie upon tho floor.
She was as kind as cat could be,
And never evil thought;
But did with other cats agree,
Which made her comply sought.
When winter came with biting cold,
Shed in the corner lay;
Around her legs, her tail she'd fold,
And sleep the livo-long day.
She always stad about the house,
Like all cats ought to do
And every day she caught a mouse,
On Sunday she caught two
Her fame was spread both far and near,
And every cat would bow,
Just like old neighbor Simpsons steer
Would bow to Crimes Cow.
Ever since old Spotty died,
She seemed topne away;
10 think friend that time had tried,
Should moulder into clay.
But now she gone, let's let her rest,
The last of Crime s train;
Shell sleep in peace on spotty' breast,
Far down the muddy lane.
Liberty advocate. [volume] (Liberty, Miss.) 1835-1866, 1837-10-24

have been ill-natured, and enved dear
cousin Mary for her beauty, had God given
me different mother"
The widow pressed her closer and closer
to her heart, and the child and the mother
wept long and bitterly. "Ellen, many
and many have been the tears have shed
over you in your infancy, for we'll knew
that if your life was spared, all these tr-
ais awaited you. But my prayers, that
you might be blessed with spirit to bear
them, have been answered. Your good
aunt, with her beautiful Mary, is a less
happy mother than yours, Ellen"
81 will be patient and happy, dear
mother, that may grieve you no more,"
said Ellen, throwing her arms about her
mothers neck. Poor Ellen was scarcely
eight years old, She had been subjected
from her infancy to the thoughtless taunts
of her companions, and even when they
torbore their unkind and inconsiderate re-
marks, they often indirectly and uncon-
sciously wounded her sensitive nature,
and helped to break her young and gentle
spirit. She was, indeed, sorely stricken;
her body was stunted and deiormed, and
her face, with the exception of very
sweet and intelligent expression, was re-
markably plain. She became thoughtful,
.contempIatlve, and affectionate, and dwelt
so much on the happiness of Heaven, that
she longed to lay her down and die The
widow felt that the desire of the child
should be gratifed, She saw her little
frame was wasting away, and a bright
fire gathering in her eye, while
her countenance sometimes wore an ex.
preston almost Of beauty. Her young
spirit seemed already disenthralled from
every earthly passion and feeling, and /
5lowed with an intensity of love, a stretch
81 intellect, and depth Of thought, that
seemed almost supernatural. Her suffer ,
ngs were so slight she was able, almost !;
o the last, to 60 about the house, and busy =
herself with her books and flowers. A y
ew moments before her death, she laid =
herself upon the sofa, saying, smother, | T
m weary and will sleep" The mother ~
cit that 1t was her last sleep. She kissed c,
er cheek. Ellen opened her eyes and "
'oked up; smother, you will be all alone q
hen | am gone, but shall be so happy, Is
on won't wish me back, dear mother. "
low very good our Father in heaven is
let me go so soonn She half raised -
er little arms, as if to embrace her mo-
Ter; she fell back; little Ellen had left =
lie body. Mrs. G. felt that she was, in
ED widowed and chiIdess woman, but !
he scarcely wept. She lived many years co
.e one who felt she was stranger and q;
lgrlm" here, administering to the sick, E,
I'D relieving the wretched, and was at :,
myth buried beside her beloved husband 70
