and good natured as basket Of chips.
Well. last Sunday, as wo were sitting
down to dinner, we found the old cat,
with three young grimalinks, largely
engaged in the nursery business under
the table.
'Bddy,' said we take this cat and
her kittens and put them where We
shall never see them more" hint OF
dreadful import though not understood.

The feline family were removed, and

with the old cat and her kittens ?"
BE gor, sir, they're safe enough

An Anecdote with a Lesson.

Two painters were employed to fres-
co the walls of a magnificent cathedral.
both stood on rude scaffolding from
the floor. One of them was so intent
upon his work that he became wholly
absorbed, and in admiration stood Off
from 'ne picture, gazing at it with in-
tense delight. Forgetting where he
was, he moved back slowly, surveying
critically the work of his pencil, until
be had neared the edge of the plank
upon which he stood At this critical
moment his companion turned sudden
ly, and almost frozen with horror. be-
held his imminent peril; another instant
ana the enthusiast would be precipita.
ted upon the pavement beneath. If hs
spoke 10 him, it was certain death; if he
held his peace death was equally sure.
Suddenly he regaincd his presence of
mlnd. and seizing a wet brush, flung it
against the wall, SCATTERING the beauti.
iul picture with unsightly blotches of
coloring The painter few forward.
and turned upon his friend with fierce
upt raidings; but started at his rhastiy
face, he listened to his recital Of dan
ger, looked shuddcring over the dread
space below, and with tears of graft
tude blessed the hand that saved him.
) ust so, we sometimes get absorbed up
on the pictures of the world, and in con-
templating them, step backwards, un-
conscious of our peril, when the AL
mighty, in mercy, dashes out the beau
tiful images, and draws US, at the time
we are complaining of his dealings, in
to his outstrctched arms of compassion
and love.

I'll Vote for the Other Man.

The following story is told of a revo-
lutionary soldier who was running for
Congress
1t appears that he was opposed by .
much younger man, who had never
been in the wars, and it was the wont
Of Revolutionary to tell the people Of
tho hardships he had endured.
Says he:
Fellow citizens, / have fought and
bled for my country--l helped to whip
the British and Indians. | have slept
upon the field Of battle with no other
covering but the canopy of heaven. I
have walked over frozen ground till ev-
cry foot step was marked with blood"
Just about this time, one Of the "sov-
eroigns" who had become very much
affected by this tale Of woe, walks up
in front the speaker, wiping the tears
from his eyes with the extremity of his
coat tail, and interupting him, says.
Did you say that you had fought
the British and the mines /?
Yes
Did you say that you had slcp. on
the ground while serving your country
without any kiver 2
Yes, sir, did
Did you say you had followed tho
enemy OF your country over frozen
ground till every foot-stcp was marked
with blood.
Yes, exultine ly replied the speaker.
well, then, says the fearful 'sover.
elgn as he gave sigh of paintll emo
tion, 'lll be blamed if | don't think
youv We done enough for your country,
and I'll vote for the other man =

Why is 1t.

When you near me, every form Of speech
IL put to flight, however well-dcviscd-
Ny tongue Is NJ your presence rsrslyzed-
Ny simplest thought to utterrnce cannot reach
when other friends are around me. Ills not so
have n sense Of ease, am self possessed,
feel no throb thrill within my breast,
Ny cheek Is tingcd with no unwonted glow.
And yet the feeling is not one OF fear;
am but toocontent to linger still.
As long as Il may be your royal will;
Tor their exists no void when you arc near.
feel by intuition that your eyes
Are fixed upon me. though dare not raise
My own 70 meet your penetrating sRze-
Lest reveal what in my souls depth lies.
l have no inelination to depart
Though conscious have excuse 70 stay;
only know that when you are away
A shadow seems to fall upon ny heart.
The causer cannot for nay life divine;
Ifyou can tell me, set my mind ~ rest
You who arc always calm and self-possossed
inpart the secret TO this heart of mine.
