was very fond jumped on his knee,
and moving about in a restless
manner, began to new in louder
key han usual. The old gentle
man, as was his won't, commenced
to caress the cat, expecting thereby
to quiet it; but to no purpose. 1t
showed signs Of impatience by
jumping down and up again, new
ing vigorously the whole time. Not
wishing to be interrupted in what
was going on, be called for a SER
want to put the cat out of the room;
but puss would not tamely submit
to an indignant turnout, and com
menced clawing at the old mans
feet. This he thought was going
too far. He rose to chastise the
cat, but, ere he had time to do so,
he discovered that it was nothing
less than a timely warning which
puss had given him, for not far
from where he sat there was under
the table a small, yenomous 9nake,
which probably would have bitten
him had he molested or trampled
on it. The reptile was immedi-
ately killed, and puss ceased her
mewing.

Two Scotch clergymen, one a
member of the Established church
and the other of the Scottish Epis-
copal church, have taken the stand
that the theater, if right for their
people, cannot be wrong for them
selves. They attended a banquet
given in Edinburgh about the 1st
of March in honor of a theatrical
manager, and one Of them made a
pleasant response to a toast to the
clergy. He argued that if the
theater had lost favor in the eyes Of
good people, it was simply because
good people had deserted its walls.
The people would have amusements
of some sort, and it was for the
clergy, by their presence, to keep
those amusements pure. The argu-
ment may surprise American
preachers who have fallen into the
habit of denouncing the theater,
especially in their evening sermons
to young people. One thing is
certain: if clergymen would go to
the theater occasionally their pres
ence, while it might not elevate the
drama, would render their criti-
cisms from the pulpit more intelli-
gent.
