Our affection for "kats" is ofthRt peculiar
OF coal that we have at various times, in
divers dark halls, and out of numerous win
dows hesved at the feline race. Their
sweetest seren&des have failed to soothe our
savage breast, or awaken tender feeling
1t has not been the fault of the ''kaJs," who
as we ell know, choose the most witching
hours out of the q to pour forth their ten
derest discords. But on the subject of d.
miuutive "KAts" We have never fully made
up our minds, unless it be that these infui
tesimal midnight providers will some day be
promoted to full grown kat with all the
dignity, loneliness and ancient reputation Of
their race to maintain. Having just sue
ceeded in prevailing upon the last of fam
lily of thirteen to shuttle off the feline coil
by the liberal use Of chunks of coal, old
boots, shovels, hammers, books aud such
movable property as came handy, you
can "phancy our pheelinks" when we were
told this morning by blue-eyed immortal
that nine more of the same family had pu
in an appearance under the same roof, where
we were expected TO be soothed after oul
hard days of work during the coming sum
mer nights by the 'muchly" respected Nor

Oh, who can tell what dreams may come
When "Kats" around your bedroom windows
prowl?

lives have you, while we poor mortals have
only one.
