THE TWO LITTLE KITTENS.

Two little kittens one stormy night,
Began to quarrel and then to fight.
One had a mouse, the other had none
And that was the way the quarrel began.
"Ill have that mouse !" said the bigger cat
"You1l have that mouse? we'll see about that"
az will have that mouse" said the elder son.
"You shant have that mouse!" said the little one
/ told you before twas stormy night
When the two little kittens began to fight;
The old woman seized her sweeping-broom,
And swept the two kittens right out of the room
The ground was covered with frost and snow,
And the two little kittens had nowhere to go;
So they laid them down on the mat at the door,
While the old woman finished sweeping the floor
Then they crept in as quiet as MICE
All wet with snow and cold as ice;
For they found it was better that stormy night
To lie down and sleep than to quarrel and fight

Japanese GrOg ShOp.

The grog shops of Japan are neither more
nor less than tea shops. All along public
roads, at frequent distances, are planted
pleasant tea-houses. They ''tea," according
to correspondent, when they must stop by
the wayside, and in such little bits of cups
that one could drink the contents of twenty
of them and then want more. Pretty tea
girls stand by the entrance, and (their teeth
not yet blackened) with pretty ways and
courtesies SO facinating that tea even without
sugar or milk becomes agreeable. On pretty
laquered walters, the tea girls hand you tiny
cups with mouthful in them, and you squat
down on the nice clean mats, if squat you
can, and you sip and sip this mouthful of hot
tea, as if the gods nectar was going down
your throat in infinitessimal drops of micro
scopic invisibility. The keeper of Japan
tea-house picks out as pretty place for the
tea-house as she or he can get. The keeper
covets, if possible, view of, and the air of
the Bay of Yeddo, along which most of the
way here runs the Tocaido. The grand tea
house is cut up into numerous little rooms,
with paper partitions to part them running on
slides, but all removable at will, to restore
the whole to one grand room. Cakes, sweet
meats and candies are brought in with the tea
all put on the clean matted floor, (there are
no seats,) and all squat or stretch out on that
floor

The End of the WOrld.---We shall wind
up ira August, 1S72s

The end of the world is now set for next
summer, Ieste David cum Si6y1a, or rather
DIR. Cummings and Prof. Plantamour. For
while the prophetic doctors latest calculation
places the final conflagration at about this
time, the great astronomer of Geneva relates
the discovery of a comet of wonderful and
unusual size, that is rushing with immense
velocity towards our earth, to reach it on the
18th of August. Professor Plantamour has
found this comet afar off in space, pointed so
directly toward our globe that nothing can
prevent collision except the intervention of
some other heavenly body to sway the wan
derer out of its course. 1t is new comet.
and therefore more to be dreaded .han our old
friends of the same sort, which have been
picked to pieces by the spectroscope, pierced
by the telescope, and, in one Or two instances,
even robbed of portions of their luxuriant
tails. We know these to be harmless bodies
while of this giant of Professor Plantamour's
we know nothing. But there is consolation
in the thought that before the collision actu-
ally takes place our wise men will have ample
opportunity to dissect the hostile comet and
to inform us whether our fate is to be incre-
mated with burning gas, stoned to death with
meteorites, or simply to add another satellite
TO our train.

A Mania for Cleanliness.

The heirs of Betsy Williams, lineal des-
cendant of Rodger Williams, who died recent
ly at Providence, leaving the larger part of
her property, estimated at $4,000, 900, to the
municipal authorities there, say she was of
unsound mind at the time of her death, and
are on the eve of entering suit for therecov-
cry of the property in the courts of that city,
as several of them have taken up their resi-
dence there. The old lady was very penuri-
Gus, and never wrote to her relatives, declar-
ing paper envelops and postage would ruin
her. she lived on the plainest of food, and
had it not been for the care of relatives would
have starved herself to death. Her peculiar
tiles were many. She was monomaniac on
the subject of cleanliness, and made visitors
take of their shoes in the hall. 1t was her
fixed opinion that the two greatest men who
ever lived were George Washington and Rod
ger Williams. The walls of her house were
covered with portraits of the latter, and no
visitor must presume to wear his hat or sit
down in the presence of the portraits of the
deceased Rodger. She had a singular re-
ligious belief, and had a little altar on which
were placed daily after breakfast three invert-
ed cups, which she called the "Trinity of
Holy Tea Leaves" and every morning it was
her practice to spend an hour consulting these
OracleS.

The Great pacific Roads.

from tne fnlladelpna Fress OF FeDrnary lu
Under the mastery management of Jay
Cooke the financial foundation of the North
ern Pacific seems to be already firmly estab-
lished. During two days alone last week the
sales OF bonds in this country have amounted
to two hundred and thirty y-nine thousand dol
lars, and the sales of the month of January
foot up to million and half. This exclu-
sive of the European market, where several
millions have been placed this year. These
figures, however enormous, have solid basis
and do not infer initiation or speculation A
moments thought will convince any one that
the railway figures of the future must far ex-
ceed anything so far known in this country
and this because as yet we are living merely
in one corner of it, and our operations are
on a contracted scale. The territorial area
of all New England and the Middle States is
not quite 5000 square miles. The area of
the United States and Territories, not includ-
ing Alaska, is 1,100,O 600 square miles, over
five times as great. Now, these Territories
are the domain of our Pacific Railways. If
our little corner has built up and sustained
the Pennsylvania, the Reading, the Erie, the
Central, the late Camden and Amboy, and a
dozen of other great lines, what will be the
future of these great Pacific roads, whose
territory is so much more magnificent and in
a short time will be so much richer, more
populous, and powerful?

A goat is stronger than pig. He looks at
you, and so does the doctor. But goat has
four legs. A boy without father is a
orphan, and if he amt got mother he is
two orphan. The goat does not give SO much
milk as cow but more than an OK. l saw
an OK to the fair one day, with card tied on
his left ear, and we all went In on the family
ticket. Mother picks geese in summer. A
goat eats grass and jumps on box. Some
folks don't like goats, but as for me, give me
a mule with paint brush tail. If had to
much hair would wear wig as old captain
peters does. I will sell my goat for three
dollars and go to the circus and see the ele-
phant which is bigger than five goats.

women on the stump.

Horace Greeley notices that Victoria Wood
hull signifies her purpose of sending out five
hundred female orators to make shrill and
incOherent the coming Presidential campaign,
and the Tribune adds:
perhaps she can do it. Who knows? If
so, it will add petticoats and picturesqueness
to crusade which has hitherto been some
what bleak from the lack of those alluring
and attractive elements. The twinkle of a
No. gaiter with high heel, upon the ros-
trum would doubtless tickle the great mass
meeting-imagination, stupefed by long con-
temptation of No. IA brogans double soled;
but we don't think the discourses of the wear
ers of these bewildering boots would amount
to much. 1t is seriously to be hoped that
Mrs. W. will reconsider her alarming resolu-
ton and not wantonly flood the land with
another deluge of talking virgins. There are
surely enough now. With babble of them is
the world filled, and of most of them the
emptiness is as the emptiness of innumerable
drums. Of the other sort, so far as heard
from, it would appear that they desire to have
as little to do with Mrs. Woodruff as posi-
ble"

The Old Confidence ia Superstition.

That prosaic and coldly rational temper
with wich modern men are wont to regard
natural phenomena was in early times un-
known. We have come to regard all events
as taking place regularly in strict conformity
to law; whatever your official theories may
be, we take this view of things. But our
ancestors knew nothing about laws of nature,
nothing about physical forces, nothing about
the relations of cause and effect, nothing
about the necessary regularity of things.
There was time in the history of mankind
when these things had never been inquired
into, and when no generalizations about them
had been framed, tested or established. There
was no conception of an order of nature, and
therefore no distinct conception of SUPER
natural order of things. There was no belief
in miracles as infractiOns of natural laws, but
there was belief in the occurrence of won
derful events too mightyto have been brought
about by ordinary means. There was an un-
limited capacity for believing and fancying,
because fancy and belief had not vet been
checked and headed off in various directions
by established rules of experience. Physical
science is a very late acquisition of the human
mind, but we are already sufficiently imbued
with it to be almost completely disabled from
comprehending the thoughts of our ancestors.
How Finn cosmOgonists could have believed
the earth and heaven to be made out of a
severed egg, the upper concave shell repre-
senting heaven, the yolk being earth, and the
crystal surrounding fluid the circumambient
ocean, is to us incomprehensible, and yet it
remains fact that they did so regard them.
How the Scandinaviaps could have supposed
the mountains to be the mouldering bones of
mighty Jotun and the earth to be his fest
ering flesh, we cannot conceive, yet such
theory was solemnly taught and accepted
How the ancient Indians could regard the
rain clouds as cows with full udders, MIXED
by the winds of heaven, is beyond our COM
prehension, and yet their Veda contains in
disputable testimony to the fact that they were
so regarded. We have only to read Barring
Gould's book of "Curious Myths" from
which haye just quoted, or to dip into Mr..
Thorpe's great treatise on Northern Mythol-
ogy," to realize how vast is the difference be-
tween our standpoint and that from which in
the latter middle ages our immediate fore
fathers regarded things The frightful SUPER
stition of werewolves is a good instance of
this. In those days it was firmly believed
that men could be, and were in the habit of
being transformed into wolves. 1t was be-
lieved that women might bring forth snakes
or poodle dogs. 1t was believed that if a man
had his side pierced in battle. you could cure
him by nursing the sword which inflicted the
wound. ''As late as 1900 German writer
would illustrate thunder storm destroying
crop of corn by picture of dragon devour-
ing the produce of the field with his flaming
tongue and iron teeth. ."--,JO1tn FSske

Marriage and Longevity

Statistics show that marriage conduces to
longevity in the male sex. Married men live
longer as rule than bachelors. This rule
holds good in many of the civilized countries
of the world. The theory in part for the
above fact is that in countries where women
help by their industry, and economy, and
management to increase the family wealth,
the husbands are not subject to that mental
tension and strain as are single men who have
no such aid. We fear, however, the statis-
tics for this country would vary the general
rule, for it would seem that wives consider it
their mission merely to spend money. There
are great many thrifty wives, great many
to whom the pecuniary salvation of their
husband is due, but as general rule, do not
American wives squander rather than econo-
mize their husbands earnings If this be so
wives, though not convicted of poisoning
their husbands, may be held responsible for
their husbands lives; the statistics showing
that frugal wive lengthens the lease of her
husbands's life, also prove that thriftless
wife shortens the husbands life Cleveland

what a Miserable Reprobate Fisk WA.

What q miserable reprobate the preachers

Why, the scoundrel actually stopped his
coupe one cold, dreary night on Seventh Ave
nue., and got out, inquired where she lived,
and gave the poor old beggar woman dol
lar He seemed to have no shame about him.
for the next day the debauched wretch sent
her around barrel of flour and load of
coal. .
One day the black-hearted scoundrel sent
$40 and a bag of -four around to a widow
woman with three starving children; and,
not content with this, the remorseless wretch
told the Police Captain to look after all the
poor widows and orphans in his ward, and
send them to him when they deserved charity.
What shameless performance 1t was to.
give that poor negro preacher $40 and send
him on to Howard University And how the
black-hearted villain practiced his meanness
on the poor, pennyless old woman who
wanted to go to Boston, by paying her pas
sage, and actually escorting her to a free state
room, while the old woman's tears of graft
