Cat Story,

A story has been going the rounds
Of the press about q cat in Iowa,
that lived in a fire place .forty-si1
days, having been walled in by
It's owner. when closing up the open
ing.
Pretty tough story, but Nc mphis
is bound not to be behind. During
one cold night, a cat looking after
a warm place, crawled into the open
oven of the cooking stove in the
kitchen Of the Memphis Hotel, so
the morning fire was made in the
stove and oven door closed. with
Miss I'abby. still enjoying her
snoose.
Warm cakes for breakfast was the
order and the cook after having pre-
pared them and thinking the oven
sufficiently hot, opened the door to
put them in when out jumped the
cat, with blistered feet, pretty well
baked, but still alive and kicking.
Said cat still lices. Memphis No.

David ID. Pratt.

United States Senator from In
diana Just as a few intimate and
partial friends predicted, thirty
years ago. He had then complet-
ed his law studies, commenced while
teaching very successful Seminary
at Rising Sun, Indiana, and finished
at the capitol of the State, under
the professional direction of O. II.
Smith, afterwards United States
Senator-each Of these gentleman
procured the elementary law books
with which they began their studies
from apleasant, complaisant old
justice of the peace esquire De-
Courcy, whose "students" were the
delight of all his after life, he hav-
ing a comfortable but not very well
defined impression that he had giy-
en- them the launch that had de-
termined their successful voyage.
We knew him and learned to es-
TEEN, and predict good things for
him, when he came back for the
first time to visit the scenes of his
first independent struggle in life.
The hearty welcome of all-patrons
and pupils-told that he had made
a lodgmei:t in many hearts. AS his
then successor in the same first trial
Of a teachers life, we were witness to
the early honors and good will be
had SO justly earned
The good "mother Craft, !" of gen
tie, tender memory, tnat kept an
open door and prophets chamber
for all Methodist Preachers, also
furnished home for the principal
of the Seminary. None loved David
D. Pratt more tenderly or looked
more hopefully to his future than
she. And her hopes were the
prayers of a saint that availed. That
visit determined the next important
event Of his life, for when he came
again it was to take Sophia jaime;
to his heart and his new home.
The spontaneous aid and coop
Grafton of many influential friends
were early accorded to him, but his
inherent strength and native re-
sources commanded for him success
| OF immense frame and stentOriar
voice, he yet has all the gentleness
of woman. Conscious of power
without arrogance, magnanimous,-
a warm patriot without being par
tisan, he has had no strong procliv
ity to politics, but has never shun
med citizens duty. We accept his
telegraphic reply to the announce
ment Of his election as the homes
sincere expression Of true modesty
"rhe result you announce over
whelms me with astonishment Ex
press to my friends my gratitude 70
the unsolicited and undeserved hon
ors they conferred on me-"
We congratulate his State and th'
country on the admission ola states
nan Of such fresh, generous charac
ter, yet mature culture, enlarged
views and well balanced mind to th'

aE WE KNEW.

If we knew the woe and heartache se
Waiting for us down the road,
If our lips could taste the e w0rm,wood. a, -
If our backs could feel the load.
Would we waste the day in wishing -.
For time that ne 'er can be;
Would we wait in such impatience
II 4 For our ships to come from sea!
{ If weknew the baby fingers &
Pressed against the window pane,
Would be cold and stiff to-morrow--
+! Never trouble us again- lH-
Would the bright eyes of our darling
: Catch the frown upon our brow.
Would the print of rosy fingers
VeX us then as they do now?
All, these little ice cold fingers.
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Strewn along our backward trackl
How these little hands remiud US,
aze AS in snowy. grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns-but roses
For our reaping by and bye.
Strange we never prize the music
Till the sweet-voiced bird has flown;
Strange that we should slight the yloletS
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one half SO fair .a:s
AS when winters snowy pinions
Shake their white down in the air!
Lips from, which the seal of silence
None but God can roll away
Never blossomed in such beauty
AS adorns the mouth to day;
And sweet words that freight our memory
With that beautiful perfume, ID.
Come to us in sweeter accents,
Through the portals of the tomb.
Let us gather up the sunbeams,
Lying all around our path;
Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorns and ehaff;
2 Let US lind our sweetest comfort
r,, In the blessings of to-day,
With a patient hand removing
All the briers from our way.

1t is singular how much self-con-

bursting. Such persons would be
invaluable if they could be worked
up into boiler iron. 1t don't take
much brains to fill person with
brains are rather in
the way !; there is no room for them.
There is hardly enough for them in
a self-conceited man to be spoken OF
in the, plural number. They are
like a drv beam in bladder-small
but capable Of much noise when self
conceit shakes the bladder. .sbl-y

A case of great interest to life in
surers has recently been decided by
the General Term Of the Superior
Court. A life insurance company
in Main in September, 1866. issued
a policy for $4,000 upon the life
Of Mr.. Warner, of this City, who
represented, at the time Of his exam
nation by the medical officer of the
company that he had no regular
physician Warner died in Febru-
ary, 1867, when it became known
that he had avaiIed himself of the
services of one doctor for himself
and family for several years, receiv-
ing prescriptions from him the
month before his application for life
insurance, and also after the policy
had been issued. Under these cir
cumstances the insurance company
refused to pay the claim of Mr.
Warmers heirs, and upon the trial
of the case before the late Justice
Robertson, the position of the de-
PENDANTS was sustained. The mat
ter was then taken on appeal by the
plaintiffs to the General Term of
the Superior Court, and the decis-
ion of the Court, below was affirm

Mr. Curran was once engaged in
a legal argument; behind him stood
his colleague, a gentleman whose
person was remarkably tall and slen-
der, and who had originally intended
to take orders. The judge observed
that the case under discussion in
volved case Of ecclesiastical law.
"Then,'' said Curran, Il can refer
your lordship to high authority
behind me, who was once intended
for the Church, though in my opin
ion be was filter for the steeple.''
