FoR THE ENouI M THE SONG OF OLYMPIA, THE BLACK c
 Should you ask me, whence this story, Whence this tale of cat and kitten,
 With their moving and their purring, With their frisking and their whisking, With their roaming and their rowing, And their various adventures l should answer, l should tell ysu, "Fron the winter evening fire side, From the grandfather Mi-al squs, From the grandmother Nas-se na, From the little grandchild Lulu"
 And if further you should ask me, Of Olympia the black cat, Of her home, and of her country, Of her tribe, and of her kindred, l should answer, l should tell you, ''Of her home, cannot tell you, Of her kindred none can tell you, For she came to old Mi al-squa, To the household of Mi al saus, From the stiffness and the silence, From the mist and from the vapor, From the blackness of the midnight, Fron the land of No-won-nos-wa!
 Ye, who love all living creatures, Love the least of living creatures, Love to romp and play and frolic With the merry little kitten, Love to hear the grave old pussy, Singing by the evening frc-side, Listen to this simple story, Of O-lym pi-a, the black cati
 Twill sing you, will tell you Of her wonderful appearing, Tell you of her yout hful frolcs, Of her many tricks and antics, Of her kittens, Im-pi anna. Blue-eye, Brow nie, Sprite and Cuffy. Of the Little Giant stephen, And the darling grand-kit Lofty, will tell you If the evil, Of the trouble that befel her, Ot the woful death and burial Of Olympia, the black cat!

THE APPEARING,

Near an ancient indian wigwam, On the banks of As-a-wau-go Dwelt the patriarch Mi-al-squa, With ais good old wife Mas se- na, And thelr little grand child Lulu.
 Hale and hearty was Mi al squa, Full of fun, and glee, and laughter, Fond of every living creature, Fond of dogs, and birds, and children, pery fond of cats and kitrons. Once upon time.' my Lulu Had a little yellsw kitty, Silly, geod-for-nothing kitty, Very sleepy, very greedy; And it chanced this foolish kitty Ate so much Thanksgiving supper, Gnawed so many bones of turkey That that very night she sickensd, That she never gnawed another!
 On the morrow Lu -lu found her Lying prostrate in the wash room, Very weak, and faint, and feeble, With wild, half-grown black kitty Sitting on tine mat beside her, And with eyes like flaming fire balls Looking in her face in,ently, Watching every breath and motion.
 Lulu ran to call the household, Quickly summoned all the household, And they tried to rouse the kitty, Tempted her with milk and chicken; But in vain were all their efforts, Kitty was too sick to heed them. Still she lay. all mute and scuseless, Ever breathing fainter, slower, And the strange, mysterious bls ok cat, Molionless remained beside her, Watched her all the day and evening, All the gloomy hours If darkness, sa beside her in the morning, when they found her cold and lfaless, s'ih and cold, and dead and lifeless; And they bore her to the garden, Buried her beneath the willow.
 Then rose up the strange black kitty, And pcered searchingly about her, softly glided from tine wood-reom, Softly stole across tLe kitchen, Piercing every nook and corner, With her glcanin eyes of yellow. | And she crert through hall and stairway, To the little sunny parlor Where the family were gathered, | Where Mi al squa and Nas-se na, And the little weeping Lulu, 1 Sat together round the 6reside 1 In his own accustomed corner, Sat the patriarch Mi al squa. When this wonderful black kitten Suddenly appeared beside him. Moving, rubbed herself against him, Climbed upon his lap and shoulder, Stood up straight upon her hind legs With her paws upon his shoulders. Scrutinizing every feature, All the time with cries incessant, fraylhg, pleading for protection,
 With her piercing news incessant, Crying, clamoring for protection!
 Good Mi al squa soothed and smoothed Tried to calm her agitation,
 But the eager. anxious kitten,
 Hurried swiftly to Nas-se-na
 Rubbed, and cried, and elamored round h. Leaped upon her back and shoulder,
 And with piteous looks and accents,
 Begged the grand mothers protection! Then at last to little Lu lu Came the kitty, still entreating.
 Purring, moving, crying, squalling,
 Clamoring, craving for protection
 Soothed at last by kind caresses, By assurance of affection, The black kitty took possession Of the ire-side of Mi-al-squa,
 Stretched herself upon the hearth-rug Without fear or hesitation, Calmly looked on all around her,
 Confdant of their protection,
 And installed herself a member Of the household of Mi al-squa!

blest has clear right TO invoke its protection

that it is your duty to take action In the prem-

The Rebellion is strengthened, the National
cause is imperiled, by every hours delay 20

Col. G. H. VAN. WYcK M. c., while sta
toned at Harrisons Landing, had an earn,
est colloquy with one Of the Harrisons, a
rich aud lordly slaveholding planter of that
neighborhood, who avowed himself an un-
compromising DisunioDist. Neither con-
vinced the other, but Col. V. says:
81 left him, with the hope then expressed,
that Congress would pass an act requiring
that wealthy gentlemen like himself should
pay the expenses Of the rebellion. And
that time no guard was stationed to protect
the property of this Rebel, although it may
be gratifying for the sympathizers Of this
afflicted individual to know that his prop
erty is now carefully guarded by soldiers Of
the Union army. Orders are now very
strict against foraging. Capt Regan told
me a few days since that he took his hors,
out TO Craze, and Unionguards notified hin
that the orders forbade it. We have beef
assured that this rebellion must be treateC
with gentility, mild applications of entreaty
not even amounting to reproof. We mus

ence to the Constitution and respect for the
flag, they shall be allowed to stab us to the
heart Can anybody tell how many con-
verts have been made to the Union cause
by gentle opiates9 How many men have
thrown down their arms and sworn allegi-
auce9 Has the heart of the Rebel Harr-
son been peirced with conviction of his
crimeY Has kindness assuaged the bitter
burnings of his hate and modified the harsh
aspersion of uncontrolled, unregulated trea-
son? The magnanimty of some is so great
that they greve when the enemy Of his
country loses bis property, but have no sym
pathy for their brave countrymen who
sleeps on the tentented field, amid pestileu-
tial dews and fever breeding swamps, with
out covering and often without necessary
provisions"

ResIsiIng lIle Draft.

In an excellent article on the draft, the Rev. E.
Purcell addresses himself as follows to the Irish
Catholics Of Cincinnati and the State:
@If you are drafted, go you must. We have
heard Of some foolish, some very foolish men,
protesting that they would resist the draft Let
them do it, and they will find that the war is no
childs play. Let them try that game. and they
will soon be brought TO their proper senses
The man who talks of resisting the draft deserves
scant mercy. II is the same as If your house
was on fire, and you would cut the hose, SO that
the water could not reach the burning building
Our whole country is in danger--our liberties
are in danger-and you will resist the draft will
youf If you do, you viii forever regret t.
@We have it said, also, that some Irish citi-
zens in the interior of the State misled by cum
ming politicians and other persons, have declared
that they would resist the draft We do not
believe II. There must be some mistake in this
We are engaged in a war which may be said to
be an Irish war-because it is a war of slave
holders against white labor. 1t is an Irish war,
because Il is every day reducing the power Of
England, destroying her trade, filling her cit
les with panpers, and threatening her with ir-
| repaTable ruin.
1--WE have captured already her best iron-built
mercantile navy, and she dare not declare war;
The capture. of Canada win soon follow--it must
follow as a necessity, and England can no moth
| ing. And its is said that Irishmen win oppose
dram 10 save our country from destruction, and
put US under the feet Of the British aud cotton
aristocracyi Are you better than other men,
that you assume the right TO oppose the drafti-
Are you better than the AmeFicap fathers and
mothers andthe Irish fathers and lnothefs whose
brave sons have fallen on the haitleiield IN
defense Of your rightsf When YOU talk OF re-
sisting the draft II it should come you make
yourself not only redicnlous but crininal; and
il is TO saVe my Catholic brethern from being
placed in sueha very false position that tbs ar

dom TO All ever could be.
If these are truths, Mr.. President, they are
surely Of the gravest Importance. You cannot
safely approach the great and good end you SC
intently mediate by shutting your eyes to them
Your deadly foe is not blinded by any mist in
which your eyes may be enveloped. He walks
straight TO his goal, knowing well his weak
point, aud most unwillingly betraying his fear
that you too may see and take advantage ot it.
God grant that his apprehension may prove pro-
phetc.
That you may not unseasonably perceive
these vital truths they will shine forth on the
pages of History--that they may be read by our
children irradated by the glory of our National
salvation, not rendered lurid by the blood-red
glow of National confagration and ruin--that
you may promptly and practically realize that
Slavery is to be vanquished only by Liberty
