Cats.

The electric currents, and their Of.
fectS on cats, is thus described by the
New York Times:
"The reason why the cats whose
bowls disturb our nocturnal slumbeTs
are uniformly found on back fences
running In a direction perpendicular,
or nearly perpendicular, to the axis Of
the earth, has never yet been ascertain
ed. Sir Isaac Newton attempted to
explain the fact by asserting that the
great majority Of fences are built par
alIel 20 the equator, but this explana-
ton is glaringly ct variance with we'll
ascertained facts. Button suggested
that cats are mystsriously Influenced
by the moon, and that hence they pre-
fer fences which are built 10 the gen.
eTal direction Of the plane Of the moons
orbit. This is certainly q plausible eI-
PLANTATION, but 1t has yet to be proved
that moonlight is the cause, rather
than q mere incident, of nocturnal cat
concerts. The other explanations
which have been hazarded by lesser
authorities are scarcely worth men
tioning. All that we really know is
the single fact that nocturnal cats are
distributed around the earth in belts
parallel 10 the equator. Fully ninety
three per cent. OF the cats that bring Us
from our midnighI couches with boot.
jacks In U hands and rage in our
hearts, are found perched upon the
east and west fences, and TO the truth
Of this assertion every New Yorker
will readily agree.
"ln examining this very interesting
and important problem, letus begin by
asking why the midnight cat bowls.
Superficial observers have alleged that
bowling Is the natural expression Of
the tender passion among cats, and that
the intensity of cats admiration for
the female OF his species may be &C.
curately measured by the hideous-
ness Of his hOwls. This is an insult to
human intelligence and feline seli-re-
spect. Would any young man, desiring
10 plead his suit with the ladyl OF his
heart, place himself under her window
and yell as II he were undergoing the
torments2 Oi course he
would not, and, equally of course, no
intelligent cat would be guilty OF q like
folly. The yeIls of the midnight cat
bear every sign Of being the expression
Of the keenest suffering, aud only the
most perverse ingenuity can regard
them as the voice Of love-"

The Old Home.

Is il not n castle olden,
Standing in the sunlight golden,
Relic of the Past,
And q ray from bygone glofJ,
Ger its ruin cast.
But mansion fair and pleasant,
Known alike of peer and peasant
For its kindly cheer,
With its glades and leafy covers,
Ferny haunts of lettering lovers,
Aid the shy wild deer.
Crimson blossoms redly glowing,
Pickering shadows DER it throwing,
Vail the lichen's stain;
Sunset CLEANS of rose and amber,
Where the ivy tendrils Chamber,
Flush each easement pane.
Turks no ghost behind the arras,
Happy midnight dreams to harrass,
Wakes no Banshee's wall;
Tapestry, nor antique lumber,
Doth its sunny hall incumber,
Shield nor suit OF mail.
Morning wakes its household noises,
Busy footsteps, laughing voices,
As i'll days of yore;
Burns its warm hearth too, brightly,
Where the gay groups gather nightly,
Though it knows no more.
Hearts, by other loves supplanted;
Steps that once its precincts haunted,
flushed by mount ana sea
Only my sad heart remembers
Flowery JuneS and dark Decem berS,
Spent, old home, in thee
Shadows pace the garden alleys,
Wander with me through the valleys,
Join my woodland walk;
And by the streamlets willow-shaded,
Where the song-birds erenaded,
Parted lovers talk
Idly talking, idly dreaming,
With the Sunlit waters cleaning
Golden at their feet,
While the fair-haircd children plum der,
Rosy-mouthed and blue-eyed wonder.
Fruitage wild and sweet.
When 1 stretch my hands in greeting,
Each familiar name repeating,
StIaightway from my sight,
Back to angel bowers they vanish,
Even as beams of morning Danish
Visions of the night.
