StrOkin0 the Cat.

Mr.. Jones read somewhere that el &C.
trio sparks could be evolved from cat
by taking it into dark room and rub
bng its back. He made the experiment,
and in few moments was surprised to
hear a loud yell, and TO feel something
clawing across his face. Then he missed
the cat. Mr.. Jones is now uncertain
whether he was struck 10y lightning
evolved from the cats back, or whether
the eat became unduly excited as he
stroked her, and stroked back again /;
but he is certain that when he undertakes
to procure electricity again from cat he
will first sooth her with gun.

Keen out of Debt.

Half the perplexity, annoyance and
trouble that men have in this world is in
consequence Of getting into debt. IL
seems to be natural for some people to
buy, and incur obligations without
measure so long as they can avoid paying
ready cash. Give one OF this sort u
chance to buy on credit. and the ques-
lions of payments are matters that he
cares but little about. But what q crop
If trouble springs up from the seed OF
debt. How many grey hairs It brings.
and how often Il shoriens life sometimes
leading men to commit suicide OF murder.
And yet how easy II is TO keep clear oil
this terrible monster. Every young man
should form fixed and unalterabtc de-
termination, before commencing his ac-
live business career. not TO incur one
penny of Indebtedness, under any cir

Nr. hammond as q Reporter.

One OF the most striking instances of
Mr. Raymond's accuracy and rapidity as
reporter occurred while he was repre-
sonting the Courier and Enquirer at
Washington. Nr. Webster was to make
an important speech in the Senate MIR.
Raymond was present, and all the other
papers were represented. Looking at
the clock, it occurred TO him that the
Senator would finish about the hour OF
the closing OF the mail. He therefore
prepared himself Webster began his
speech Raymond took every word
down in ong-hand-the other reporters.
o! course, in shorthand. Webster. it is
true. was II slow, deliberate speaker. but
as the average speed OF an orators
tongue is six uttered TO one carefully
written word, our readers can imagine
the rapidity OF Raymond's writing.
Webster finished. II was nearly mail.
time. 1t would be utterly impossible to
write out The speech for that mail, and
that was the mail TO carry the speech.
Raymond looked at his notes, and again
at the clock. Rolling all up in an envcl-
ope. inclosiDg n private note to the fore
man OF the Office of the Courier and En-
quirer. he dropped the parcel into the
editors bag. 1t reached the Office in
Wall Street, the copy was distributed
among the compositors, and the whole
speech appeared in the next edition Of
the Courier and Enquirer, to the dismay
of the other papers and the chagrin of
the reporters. 1t, accuracy received the
fullest Endorsement of Mr.. Webster
