OUR JUVENILES.
PUssY'S MISTAKE.

Mrs Pussy cat one night
Went abroad to see q neighbor,
As she really thought she might
After days OF honest labor;
Having broushtin every mouse
From the kitchen and the house.
AZ for rats there wasn't one
Not 4 single saucy fellow
Lett to whisk his tail and run
From the pantry to the cellar;
So she thought she had right
70 divert herself that night.
There were kittens, one, two, three,
To be thought of first, however;
ct They'll be sure to cry for me-
Pussy thought, if endeavor
My escape from them to make
While they're all so wide awake.
And to wait till they're asleep,
That would be work of patience;
Just as like as not the'd peep,
And set up their lamentations
When to leave them | began.
2 must try another plan
so she pondered for awhile,
Till happy thought occurring,
Made her smile q catty smile
And she told the kittens, purrinG,
She had thought Of device
70 secure some good fat mice.
There are dozens, as I've heard
In the cOrn-crib over yonder
If you only say the word
can catch, | shouldn't wonder,
One apiece for you at least
How would that do for a feast?
