LITTLE ALICES KITTY.

"Alice, it is time to 60 to bed" said
mamma one night. And little Alice said
please wait, mamm., till call my kitty.
So Alice went to the door, and put
her little curley head out into the rain
while she called Fanny, Fanny But
no Fanny came to be put into her small,
warm bed in the shed.
Alice ran crying back to her mamma.
"What shall | do /? eaid Alice ri. rains
fast, and the wind blows loud aud hard.
Fanny will get very vet or else Don will
End her aud hurt her.
What could mamma do? She let the
little girl try once more 10 make her kitty
come in; aud Alice called long time,
but 10 vain. After all, she had TO 70 to
bed, and leave poor Fanny out of doors
in the cold rain.
POOR little Alice; She cried very
much; 70: she feared that Don, the great
dog, would hurt or kill her dear little
kitty. But At last, Alice went to sleep
with . little salt tear in each blue eye.
Next day, she was awake early for
she sun WAS clear, and the dark clouds
had oil goss far away. But mamma was
up 6rst. The little girl heard her voice,
snd it said, "Come, dear, l have something
nice to show you"
Little Alice made her hands fly in
dressing, and was soon down stairs.
Then mamma took her out ON tiptoe to
Doas little house, where the old dog
slept at night.
Now, what do you thing Alice saw, all
eosey sud snug, down between Don 9
great black paws? She saw a little ball
Of soft fur-Kitty Fanny herself, all
suddled down to sleep.
How Alice clapped her hands, and pat.

Good old dogt He would not harm
Kitty. But when she como to the door
Of bis little house in tho dark night, oil

He,dld to say:
al have visited Europe frequently, and have
dwelt in London, Paris, Switzerland and Ger

four years since, shall never forget how shock
ed felt at the contrast of the style of dress be-
tween the ladies in the above named countries
and here. Youth and age here exhibited to my

nate modesty would have thought the necessity
of covering certain portions of the form which
are calculated to excite the passions but not
the respect of men,"

in sorrow than in anger Instead of the wo-
men in this city turning their attention to the
performance of duties devolving upon them as
wives and mistresses of their homes, they, ig-
norant as they are, leave oil such to servants,
who are still more ignorant and perceiving the
want of knowledge in the ladies whom they are
expected to serve, take advantage of this, and
assume that of which they know nothing.
Hence, those who hire them become in the pow

THE LONGEST AND TOUGHEST Cock FIGHT
ON REcoRD-A cock fight was recently con-
tested between two six pound cocks, owned by
Messrs Mclaughlin and Wade, of this city,
respectively, for s1Oo. Macs was blue-red,
and Wade's gray cock, and both birds were
in splendid condition The odds at the start
were $50 to $40 on the blue-red. When they
were let go they met with terrible crash, and
for forty minutes fought like devils, without
either appearing to gain the slightest advant-
age. After an hours desperate struggling the
betting changed in favor of the gray cock, but
when twenty-five minutes more had elapsed, it
became even. There was great excitement
during all this time among the spectators; one
minute the betting would be in favor of the
blue-red and the next in favor of the gray.
Considering the hard fighting, both birds were
very strong in their feet At the expiration OF
one hour and forty minutes the gray cock lay
for dead in the pit, and the blue-red was de-
clared the winner, but he too died an hour af-
ter his victory. 1t was the longest and hard
est cock fight ON record.-N. Y. World.

4 RADICAL STEALS FROM THE HUNGRY
The N. Y. Herald says that Gideon Haynes,
Warden of the Massachusetts State Prison,
has been sued by Mr.. H. L. G. Dorsey of Paw
tucket, the well known philanthropist, whose
charities are partially of the nature of endeav-
oring to ameliorate the condition of inmates of
prisons On certain days in the year Mr.. Dor
sey provides the means for furnishing prison.
ers with roast turkey dinners. On Christmas
Day, 1868, Mr.. Dorsey sent the sum OF $3.50
to Haynes for this purpose. Mr. Dorsey, it
appears, took notion to visit the prison on
the day on which the prisoners were to have
their turkey dinner, and he went under an
alias, bearing letter of introduction from
himself. He found that notwithstanding the
money had been received, the terms of the do
nation had not been complied with, as the din
ner which he intended was not given to the
prisoners, and the text which he had selected
for the sermon was not preached from by the
Chaplain. Of course he felt indignant, and
'went for" the Warden, who returned part of
the money. and Mr.. Dorsey is determined he
shall come out with the balance. 1t is strange
what fondness Radicals have for money, and
what means they will resort to in order to ac-
cumulate supply of =" filthy lucre," especially
"blue light" Radicals.

TAKING A POsTTIoN-Joe Dovetail had a
strong minded wife. She looked upon Joe as
a sort of necessary evil treating him much as
the lady did her husband on the steamboat who
ventured to object to some of the arrangements
for travel, when she shut him up by telling
him, in the hearing of dozen passengers:
"Why, what is it to you? If | had known
you were going to act so, wouldn't have let
you come along!"
But Joe and Mrs. Dovctail never Travelled.
They were always at home, though Joe was
rarely seen there or elsewhere. She had long
trained him to the habit of retiring under the
bed when company called, and so familiar was
he with that retreat, it was question whether
in default of personal service, warning to MI
litia training would hold him unless lett under
the bed, as being his last and usual place of
abode" During the stay of Mrs DIS friends,
he occasionally thrust out his head like tur.
tie, but one glance of his spouse would send
him under the bed with cold shivers running
up his back One day, as she was hobnobbing
over the fire with friend and social glass,
Joe thrust out his fgure-head, and defied the
shakes and frowns of his wife till, growing val
liant and desperate, he sang out:
any dear, you may shake your head just as
much as you please, butt tell you, as long as
have got the spirit Of a man I will peep!"
