truth that will probably make some of the
Abolition brethren roll up their eyes, that
"the great sin of our land is not slavery"

the writer has the boldness to suggest, are the
great sins of the North as well as the South
leaves it to be inferred, that if our moral re-
formers, humanitarans, ETC., would spend half
as much energy in combating these, as is
spent on slavery, (Which don't exist in the
North at all ) our unhappy country would not
be in so bad plight as it is to-day.

Prom the New York Commercial Advertiser
a singular Iucidcut-AImos a
Catasfrophe.

There is popular superstition, that eat,
If allowed the opportunity, will "suck the
breath of child" though how this is accom-
plshed is not apparent. Cats are subject to
much suspicion, and, indeed, no animal petted
by man is at once so much admired and de-
tested. A circumstance came 10 our knowl-
edge recently which seems to indicate that
the numerous charges made against the feline
race are not altogether unfounded. The
other evening, at a residence only a few miles
from this city, cat was discovered sitting
upon the chest of little boy four years old
her mouth pressed close to the clild's lips, and
the cat evidently much absorbed in the oper-
alton. An effort was made to drive the cat
off by speaking sharply'to her. She paid no
attention to this, and was equally unmindful
of series of blows with a stick. The cat
was finally fairly pushed off the body of the
child, and off the bed. She was then pushed
out of the room and down the stairs. She
could not be driven in the usual wav. She
had bewildered and wild look all the time.
and exhibited sign of ferocity by springing
on the servant who was forcing her down
stairs. The cat was instantly killed, as a
warning to all eats not TO be too intimate with
sleeping children. The little boy woke up
during the noise which was made, and was
naturally somewhat frightened. He did not
seem to be injured. Though no harm was
done, evil might have ensued had not the cat
been discovered and removed. Her weight
on the child's chest would necessarily reduce
the quantity of air inspired, and tend to cause
suffocation, while the child would inspire only
carbonic acid gas as taken from the mouth of
the cat. These two causes might produce
death even. They may have originated the
superstition that cat "sucks the breath of a
child" The case is interesting and novel,
and may serve the purpose of eliciting in
quiry and putting some parents on their
guard against the treacherous and stealthy
pets with which their children play.
