fer with g. B. Lobdell, special agent of the Trea-
sury, before he leaves the city, and with the
Secretary of the Treasury, in order to secure
such modification or change in the regula-
tions that they can be made practicable for the
advancement of the interests of the merchants
and importers of Philadelphia.
The question was put by the Chair and unani-
mously agreed to. .r
Colonel Forney desired to know if the COM

day or two.
On motion, it was agreed that the committee
should be appointed at the leisure of the Chair,
and announced through the columns of the
newspapers.
The meeting was then resolved into a social

The Cat and the Swallows.

One very fine day, a cat seated herself
upon the top of a gate-post, as if in con-
temptation; when ten or dozen swal-
lows, knowing her to be an enemy, took
it into their heads to tantaIize her in a
manner which showed high degree, not
only Of good sense, but of humor.
/ One of these birds, coming from behind
her, flew close by her ear, and she made
a snap at it with her paw but it was too
late Another swallow, in five or six sec
onds, did the same, and she made the
same unsuccessful attempt to catch it..
This was followed by a third and so on
to the number just mentioned and every
one, as it passed, seemed to set up laugh
at the disappointed enemy, very like the
laugh of young child when tickled. The
whole number, following one another at
the distance Of about three yards, formed
a regular circle in the air, and played it
off like wheel at her ear for nearly an
hour, until the cat became disgusted and
left her post, tired Of trying to catch the
frisky swallows.
|. Knowing creatures, those little birds
were. They were careful to keep out of
the reach of the cats paw, but they ran
a great risk. They succeeded better than
some children who trihe with sin and are
caught.

Didn't Like It's Occupation.

HOL. JONES had several Irishmen in
~ his employ, and one hot day took it
into his head to furnish each of them
with drink of whisky. He therefore
brought out his bottle and glass, and as
each took liberal allowance, by the time
it came to Pat, who was the last in line,
there was scarcely full drink left, but
what there was he drained into the tum-
bier. AS he was raising ii to his lips a
"tumble-bug," which unfortunately came
flying along, just then struck the rim Of
his hat and fell into the whisky. There
was no more liquor in the bottle, aud as
Pat hated to lose his drink, he gently
ished out the bug and raised the glass to
toward his lips. But hisI stomach rebel
led against the dose, and he set down the
tumbler with the liquor untouched, when
the Colonel said:
"Drink it, Pat, it is nothing but a
clean bug"
2" II may be as clean as any bug in the
world" replied Pat, " but by st. Patrick,
l don't like its occupation.

But mother didn't count them, and
she won't know if take just one" said
Charlie.
"But remember, Charlie, that God
counts them," said his sister, and He
will know"
Charlie put back the cake, and turned
away from the temptation, looking seri-
