Valuable Invention by s.al adj

A member of.the editorial staff of
the Cleveland Leader, it is said, has
invented sheet iron cat, with cylir-
drieal attachment and steel claws and
teeth. 1t Is worked by clock-work.
A bellows inside swells up the tail at
will to q belligerent size, and, by q
tremolo attachment, causes at the same
time. the patent cat to emit al noises
of which the living cat is Capable.
When you want fun, you wind up
your cat and. place him on the roof.
Every cat within half 3 mite Hears
him, giTds on his ar1nor and sallies
forth frequently fifty or hundred
attack him at once. No sooner does
the patent cat feel the weight of an as
sailant than his teeth and claws work
with lightning rapidity. fAdversaries
within six feet of him are torn to
shreds. Fresh battalions come on to
meet a similar fate, and in an hour
several bushels of hair, toe nails, and
fiddle strings alone remain.

Christian Temperance.

A few years ago, two men were
caught in the rapids above Niagara
Falls. They were being hurled on to
destruction. The end of a rope was
thrown out. One of them seized it,
but the other caught hold of float
ing log. The first was drawn to the
shore the other, in a few moments,
passed with the log over the falls.
So we look at two men cndcavoring
to save themselves from the rapids of
a terrible appetite. One of thent
seizes upon the rope Of Craistian faith,
that is fastened in Heaven, and is saw
cd. The other depends merely upon
the uncertain purposes and resolutions
that he has made, and appetite sweeps
him on to ruin.
He who would successfully struggle
With temptation and appetite, and hc
who would work successfully as the
Savior of the degraded, must lot only
add patience to his temperance, but
also godliness to his patience.
The madness of appetite is like tho
demoniac of the Gadarones. You
may bind it with the fetters of laws,
and pledges, and resolutions, and they
may all be broken. You cannot bind
intempcrance, ''no, not with chains"
You cannot tame it with constant
watching. Christ must come nearer
and bid the fend "come out Of him !"
changing his heart with divine love;
ere he can be seen clothed, and in his
right mind."'-Calins Fisk.

Ourselves.

To acquire thorough knowledge of
our own hearts and characters, to re-
strain every irregular inclination, to
subdue every rcbellious passion, to pu-
rify the motives of our conduct, to
form ourselves to that temperance
which no pleasure can seduce, to that
meckness which no provication can
rufAe, to that Patience which no afflic-
tion can overwhelm, and that integri-
ty which no interest can shake; this
is the task which is assigned to us-a
