And isn't it a lucky thing,
At which you ought to be eIated.
That every town now has its Sprinr.

And, ere you figure the expense
With which your trip must be attended
How pleasant, soon as you commence.
To find your dreaded journey ended
Each Spring is better than the rest
Names of ingredients are longer,
And, when submitted to the test,
Each proves to be - a trife stronger -
The chemist hears, with great surprise,
'' What Iofsof - rocks" each Spring environ

The TAIL" or A CAT.-Mrs- DR.. Briggs, Of
Franklin. had a large Tortoise Shell Cat which
lived to the age Of IS years, and who, in many
respects. evinced as much knowledge as any
wise member of the canine tribe. Among the
MANY wonderful characteristics possessed by his
catship, are related the following When Mrs.
b. left any meat uncovered, he would watch 1t
as faithful as dog, and allow no cat or dog to
approach the tempting morsel and when Mrs.
n 5 father, who had once loaned the cat to a
Burlington friend, made them visit, the cat
exhibited much pleasure in seeing him, but
when he talked Of going away, pussy would
hide himself in some impenetrable nook, and
never re-appear until his supposed enemy was
gone.-S Aibans Messenger.

the pass-book in the hands Of the gratified

that met his view was a credit to the Rever-

Benford walked down to the bank and came
to an explanation with both the partners, in
the private room. There could be no doubt
Of the fact. The money was paid to his
