Sat, Sun ano fancy.

G-g- The following poem, from the
San Francisco GOLDEN Era, is not only
Homeric IN style, but complete in itself.
for it ends in the total humiliation of
the combatants:
On pine wood-shed, in an alley dark,
where scattered moonbeams, sitting
through row of lettering chimncys and
an awning torn and dropping, fell, strodo
back and forth, with stiff and tense
drawn muscle aud peculiar tread, cat.
His name was Noryal; on yonder
neighboring shed his father fought the
cats that came in squads from streets
beyond Dupont, in search of food and
strange adventure.
Grim war he courted and his twisted
tail, and spine uphcaving in fantastic
curve, and claws distcndod, and ears
fatty pressed against head thrown back
defanty, told Of impending strife.
With eyes agleam, and screecling
blasts Of war, and steps as silent as the
falling dew, young Norval crept along
the splnterod edge and gazed moment
through the darkness down, with tail
a-wag triumphantly
Then with an imprecation and agrowl
perhaps an oath in direst vengeance
Kissed he started back, and crooked in
body like letter s, or rather like u
inverted, stood in fierce expectancy.
Twas we'll With eye balls glaring
and ears all aslant, and open mouth, IN
which two rows of fangs stood forth in
sharp and dread conformity, slow up u
post from out the dark below a head APP
peared.
A dreadful tocsin of eternal strife
young Noryal uttered then, with a face
unblanched and moustachc standing
straight before his nose, and tail flung
wildly to the passing breeze, stepped
back in cautious invitation to the foe.
Approaching tho other, and, with
preparations dire, each cat surveyed the
vantage Of the field around they walked
with tails uplifted and backs high in tho
air, while from their mouths, in accents
Kissing with consuming rage, dropped
brief but awful sentences of hate.
Thrice around the roof they went In
circle, each with eye upon the foe intent
Fly bent; then sidgwise moving, as il
wont with cats, gate one long. drawn,
terrific, savage yaw., aud buckled in.
The fur few. A mist Of hair hung
DER tho battle field. High 'bove the din
Of passing wagons rose the dreadful tu-
multofthe struggling cats. SO CLEANED
their eyes in frenzy, That to me, who saw
the conflict from window near, nought
else was visible but fiery stars that moved
/ in orbits most eccentric.
An hour they struggled in tempestu-
Gus might, then faint and fainter grew
the squall OF war, until all sound was
hushcd Then went / forth with lam
tern, and the field surveyed. What
saw /?
Six claws-one car Of teeth, perhaps
handful; and, save fur, nought else
except a solitary tail. That tail was
Norvafs--by ring | knew't The ear

tale will do without the car.

A Strange Life.

John Stephens, one Of tho pioneers o
the Wabash, died in Fountain county
Indiana, few days since, at the age Of
about seventy years The Attica Leeige,
says that in his younger days he occupied
fair position, and his future was sha.
dowed with bright prospects. He served
with Col. Croghan in defence Of Fort
Stephenson, against the attack Of the
British and Indians, ia the war Of 1912,
for which the Government, IN his Old
age, awarded him land warrant for one
hundred and sixty acres Of land In the
meridian Of life, the evil spirit Of dissi-
patton overlook him, and from thence
forth his prospective usefulness was lost
A mind that was made ft by nature 10
adorn almost any station in life, was dis
tracted and torn into fragments and he
became a wild waudoror, amusing and
exciting every one with his eccontricties
and vague imaginations. He gave him
self the cognomen, "The Christian Phi.
losopher Of the Nineteenth Century,"
which he retained for himself 10 the last.
