She is a Boston cat, but her home is

Boston to the Azores and back on the
good snip Kate Williams, commanded
by Capt. Beebe. Whenever the ship
reaches Boston puSs always lands and
has a social time with old friends on
shOre-feline friends among others,
probably. One day she was SO enter
tanned with her visit that she stopped
a little longer than usual, and when she
returned to the wharf she found the
ship had sailed without her. She gazed
with longing eyes far out over the
water, and shifted her whiskers as if
seeming out the track of the receding
and now invisible ship. But she knew
it was of no use. She knew the ways
Of the ship too we'll. Every day for
three months she appeared on the
wharf with clock-like regularity, and
shifted and gaZed, and gazed and
shifted. There were plenty of ships
coming and going, but they were moth

him, she sprang on to him, put her
nose in his neck, and meoW-woW-

ear before. That ship never has a
chance to leave puss on shore now.

THERE are other ministers of love,
more conspicuous than a good daugh-
ter, but none in which a gentler, love-
lier spirit dWells, and none to which
the hearts warm requitalS more JOY
fully respond. She is the steady light
of her fathers house. Her idea is in
disSOlubly connected with that of his
happy fireside. She is his morning
sun and evening star. The grace.
vivacity and tenderness of her sex have
their place in the mighty sway which
she holds over his spirit. The lessons
of recorded wisdom which he reads
with her eyes come to his mind with a
new charm, as blended with the be-
loved melody of her voice. He scarce
ly knows WEAKNESS which her song
does not make him forget, or gloom
which is proof against the young
brightness of her smile She is the
pride and ornament of his hospitality,
the gentle nurse of his Sickness. and

they are unpretending, but expressive

''There isn't horse in this town

Somewhere they supposed there was a
broken carriage; somewhere there was
crushed and bleeding baby. Where

high-minded Whiz had turned around
long ago and was going home. He
knew better than to hurt one silky hair

dropped the reins, calling out, so

By the time Mrs. Allen had rushed
