EXTRAORDINARY SAGAcITY OF CARVE have
the following anecdoe from an unquestionable source,
and assure readers that the statement may be
lied -
A gentleman Of this city had two cats upon the
premises, related by the ties of mother and daughter
both of which blessed with a litter of kittens
about the same time. Not many days after, the two
mothers were observed sitting together in the she'd
and intcntly cycling each other, if holding a
sulation. After the lapse of several minutes thus
SPENT the younger cat returned to her kitten,
" having lived anil brought it towards the older cat,
which still kept her place This kitten she placed
directly before her MOTHER and then sat down not far
from it. The two parents looked again at each other
for some time when the older retreated leaving the
kitten where the mother had placed it.
The mother again took up her mewing offspring,
and once more approached her recusant companion,
when the same ceremony repeated with similar
effect This occurred several times, when the older
cat, as if influenced by the mute appeal of the moth
err took up the strange kitten thus forced upon her
charity conveyed TO the spot where her darlings
were deposited and, to all appearances adopted
her own.
The younger cat, having thus seen the object Of
her solicitude provided for, retired slowly her
straw, where she after taken with fit, and
almost Immediately died. We leave it for natural
lists to explain whether the invalid cat aware oil
her speedy dissolution not; whether, what we
call instinct in the lower order of animals, does
occasionally approach very to what is termed
reason among the human species.--NeU Hduen COu

The JEsUITs IN SwITZERLAND.-We perceive by
the late accounts from abroad that the eSuits have
triumphed in Switzerland, and been defeated in
France. Lueerne has carried her point in introducing
Jesuts into the canton and entrusting to them the
education of her youth. About the same time the
King of the French has, through his minister DeRoss,
obtained the Popes assent to the issuing of order
by the General of the Order, dissovng the Society
in France requiring the closing of their houses, and
that if any of the members choose to remain the
country, they to do the footing of the ordi-
nary clergy and under subsection to the bishops and
parochial ministry.
This is considered master stroke of policy the
part of Louis Philippe. He might indeed, by the
application .. existing laws in France, which
forbid the existence of the Jesuts separate corps
have effected the result-but not without shock
ing many religious persons, and giving to the de-
nounced esuts something Of the air and consequence
of victims. By taking the other course, of asking
the Intervention of their official superiors and the
Pope he gets at the time rid of the Jesits and
preserves appearances with the Church.

KIssTNG.-The sweetness of kissing depends with
altogether the slyness of the thing. Take our
word for it, the stolen draughts the most delicious.
We would rather be cut up into catfish bait, than
kiss girl in company. Besides, there is great
danger in the promiscuous kissing which is INDUCED
in at parties Ten to if your lips do not, at the
very moment after they have been revelling in the
most ecstatic enjoyment, come pop upon those Of
some old maid, that you cannot get the taste
of the btters out of your mouth for week. No. no
kissing in public is not the way manage the thing
it destroys the reverence with which man delights
to wrap the wondrous SEX and none but bunger
will resort to it. If you wish to enjoya kiss in all its
raciness-a kiss at once delicate airy and spirituee
yet that will cause every pulse in your body to
thrill with ecstacy-get your little charner into a
corner of sofa, before cozy fire of freezing night
steal your round her waist take her hand
gently in your own-and then drawing her tendery
towards you, kiss her with long, sweet kiss, il
you were a bee sucking honey from a flower -

CONSCIENTIOUS BooKsTEALER-Abo bookseller who
exposes books for sale in his open shopwndow in the
city, having recently observed that he lost number
of books notwithstanding he always found the exact
quantity, batting those that sold, taking them
in at nights and besides this, finding several books
among his of which he had not the slightest
knowledge, was the other day induced to watch a
demure- looking young man rather closely, whom he
had constantly looking at his books, but scarcely
ever making purchase. In this employment his
surprise was very soon increased by observing his
customer put book in his pocket, and pull another
from under his coat, which he placed amongst the
rest on the board and then deliberately walked away
Being, however, desired to walk back again, and
account for his conduct the trembling cuprt at length
acknowledged that he had been in the constant habit
of exchanging good carna for what he called indif-
ferent spiritual books, which he considered advanta-
geous to the bookseller; and proof of this
ton pulled out of his pocket volume of old puritanc
divinity for which he averred and the fact proved it,

exchanges would expose him to prosecution for theft

the owner of the property before he attempted to
ttansfe or exchange it under any pretext whatever.

We learn that the business of manufacturing cot
tons and some other kinds of goods has been lu
crative during the year past, that many small estab
shments, costing from forty to fifty thousand dollars,
have realized profits exceeding their actual cost.
There is no other branch of business in the country
which can boast of such large profits SO uniformly
and generally realized by all whose capital is employ
ed in it, as the manufacturing establishments which
have sprung up under the unjust and unequal protec
ton Of the present tariff.-N. Y. Post
