A CAT SroRY.-A good many dog ste

but we DO not remember having met with
Il good cat story until the following, which

and sometimes much neglect class, mer.
its general circulation. "La~t Sabbath,
a moherly old Cat, belonging 10 one of our
citizens, left her little iamily in quiet re.
pose, while she went forth in scurch Of
something to eat. On returning, she ,,und
them quarreling. She then very delibc-
rately took the one most eagerly engaged
in the combat by the nap of the ne, K, and
not seeing any convenient place near by
TO administer what she considered salutary
reproof went to neighbours woodhouSe,
where she found tub Of water, upon the
edge Of which she raised her feet, and
dropped the kitten in the water. She re-
SISTED all attempts at escape, and after re-
peatedy sousing it into the water till sufi-
GENTLY punished, she took it again by the
neck as before, and carried it back again,
doubtless thorough repentant for the
wrongit had done. There has been no
contention in tho family since"

Say not ye careless sleepers,
Short time must pass away,
Before the Sovereign reapers
Begin the harvest day.
The held is ripe and ready,
Behold the gallant CAss,
A Freeman true and steady,
A soldier none surpass.
From every town and hamlet,
From every field and grove;
Millions wave the banner
Ola gallant freeman bold.
His statesman-s ship is sweeping
In triumph Ger the realm;
Sale is our country's keeping,

From Federal might of terror,
Toa Democratic cline;
From whiggish realm oferroF
Grown old in arts Of crime.
An Eloquence is pleading,
O hear the patriot cry!

not the least consciousness ofhaving been
attacked; perhaps he was intending not

after the lapse Of considerable time,
Randolph rose to address the house, on
motion then before it. He never wanted
an audience. During his remarks. he
took occasion to alIude TO ''the death of
his lamented friend whose seat was now
vacant" and turning himself round, he
pointed with his long, skinny finger to

AncrdOte of John Randnlnh.

The following characteristic anecdote
of John Randolph appears in the Boston
Post. Having never seen il in print be
fore, we give it TO our readers as very
complete specimen ofthat orators wit.
During his congressional term, death
occurred in the Virginia delegation, and
among other candidates for the vacant
honors was a gentleman, a lawyer by
profession. who, among his friends, was
quite celebrated for his wit. He was a
man Of fine talents. and opposed in his
political opinions, to Randolph. During
the canvass preceding the election. this
gentleman frequently boosted that, il
elected, he would soon give Randolph a
lesson. and despite his dreaded powers
teach him his place. He was elected,
and ia due time found himself among the
assembled wisdom of the land. True t.
his promise, embracing almost the frs
opportunity, he was oui npon the floor,
and down upon old John in speech o.
some two hours length. seemingly with
the intention ofannihilating thar innocent
individual. Singular temeriiy and hardi
hood.
A new member who was not expected
to say a word during his ffrsi term, break
ing his she'll in this manner, and assault
