The Poor Little Kittens ace
DrOwRed in the WeU.

How dear my heart are the scenes of my childhood
When fond recollection presents them to view!
The cheese pess the goose pond the ps in the wild
woods
And every old stump that my infancy knew.
The BIZ linkum Eastwood with wide spreading shadow
The horses that grazed where my grandmother fell
The sheep the mountain the calves in the me eaiow
And al the young kittens we drowned in the well
The meek little kittens, the milk loving kittens,
The poor little kittens we drowned in the we'll
remember with pleasure my grandfather's goggles,
Which rode go muiestic rstraddle his nose;
and the harness oft mended with tow string and togge
That belonged to old Dolly, free from her woes
Aud fresh in my heart is the long maple woodpile,
Where often I've worked with beetle and wedge,
Striving to whack up enough to last for good while
And grumbling because my old axe had no edge.
And there wa the kitchen and pump that stood nigh
Which ne'er plsyed the deuce lik the one we hav,
now
But was faithful and true, so peaceful and quiet
'rwould be hailed with delight by the I" folks dowI
below"
The fLithful old pump, the covered pump,
The old wooden pump, | would twere here now
And there was the school house away from each dwell
ing,
Where school-ma ANS would govern with absolute
sway;
Who taught me my rithmetic, reading and spelling
And "whaled me like blazcs'' about every dlv.
remember the ladder that swung in the passage
Which led 70 the loft in the p Ak Of the house
Where M grandmother hung up her "puInkin and sau

To keep them away from the rat and the mouse

Tight L0cinD.

But the most serious feature in the
dress OF American ladies is tight lacng-
Il practice most unnatural, and therefore
most dangerous TO health. Does any one
doubt the prevalence of this custom, let
him consult the fashion plates in any
popular ladies' magazine. How women.
servi!ely obedient 10 the suggestions of
their dress maker, or else grossly ignor-
ant OF the first principles OF health, have
squeezed themselves to death. the great
day of account only will disclose. The
record must be appalling, and vet the
suicidal work goes on. The compression
vi the waist hinders, if it does not alto
gether ssuspend, the action Of the dia-
phragm, and weakcns the muscles of res
piration and the power Of digestion. The
heart, liver, lungs, spleen and stomach,
being forced into 4 space much too small
ior the proper performance Of their res
pcctive functions. are weakened, and if
the compression is continued. become dis
ea>ed; consumption ensueS, and the mis-
taken devotcc of 4 birbarous fashion
sinks swiftly into an early grave.

contour of that chet-d ou,7g of sculpture.
the Venus de Medici>, and strive to de-
yclop your attenuated bodies into the
beautiful proportions Of the wcll-grown
woman.
OF course the entire dress should be
adapted 10 the climate and season of the
year. In climates like that of New
England. where there are sometimes sud-
den transitions from heat to cold, and
from wet to dry, it is hardly safe to dress
in a light manner, unless it be in mid
summer, when atmospheric changes are
less frequent. The most prevailing COM
planta mcng people of all classes Is
rheumatism. a disease which in every in
stance is the consequence of exposure to
Il sudden chill. No clothing of any kind
should be worn III Il moist state, especial
ly while the person is inactr and care
should be taken that the feet are proper
ly shod, not with "snugly fitting" boots
or shoes Of kid glove consistency. but
those that are thick soled, substantial,
amply large, so that the blood can circu-
late to the very toes. and a comfortably
thick stocking can be worn without any
sensation of constraint.
In the matter of dress more attention
should be given to comfort than to style,
and it will be usually found that they
who dress neatly and in conformity with
natures laws, are the best dressed and
certainly the most sensible.-HaNs Jour-
nat Of Uca}th.

t. Nasby has explained that the pur-
chase Of the Russian Possessions was rem
dered necessary, in order to make official
places for the renegade Republicans who
have followed Johnson for the loayes
and fishes. As IN evidencet hat the rev.
erend Petroleum was right, we now get
information that Doolittle is to be sent
on secret mission to Russia,-where il
is hoped, he will conclude to stay. His
political treachery. is getting its reward
The President knew the Senate never
would ratify his nomination to any i'm
portant mission, and he has accordingly
given him an office over which the Sen
ate has no control, and which will allow
of foreign travel at the expense of the
Government. Why shouldn't the politi-
cal traitor be rewarded

TIE DRUNKARD's Boy. A little
boy was seen Fastening through the
streets of a large city one cold, starless
midnight. Faster and faster he ran, as
though he feared soma lurking spirit OF
evil would find him out. His conscience
was not his own, it was another'S.. He
was being forced TO do that which he
hated. One of the ten thousand evil ei-
fects of rum. Ills father had come home
from the tippling-house almost insane.
He had fallen asleep, but had wakened
raving. More, more, MORE" he
shrieked. Water was offered him, but
he dashed the glass away in fury, and
demanded rum until the neighbors, hear
ing the frenzied cry, ran TO see the cause.
His little boy, shiyering with cold, crept
from the straw in the corner, too much
frightened to lie still His father in the
height of his madness, saw him, and
ordered him to 90 for rum. When the
the boy hesitated, he threatened to Kill
him and the poor little fellow took up
the old tin pail, OF which he was hearth
y ashamed, his mother slipping her last
piece of money into his hand to pay for
the accursed stuff. Oh. what load of
guilt upon that mans soul, to send that
boy on such an errand, to purchase Gcimg
death for every soul akin to him,
