LINES TO A CAT.

love thee, cat; love thy pleasant ways:
love to see thee doing round the house;
/ love, through all these dreamy summer days
To watch thee circumventt the bashfu1 mouse
/ love to hear thy calm, contented purr,
And stroke thy coat-so near, and yet SO fur.
But 7 love not when starry night is come,
o.hear: thee, cat with Yelvet-padded hoof,
Rapid as taps on the startled drum,
Orsummer rain-drops, pattering on the roof.
For when thy claws slip from their velvet
jacket
Sweet warbler, when the radiant moonlight
In mellow splendor on the haunted shed,
Oft have listened to thy plaintive wauls
And cursed thee, from my sleep deserted bed.
How have wept to hear thy longdrawn shout,
Maria! oh-h Maria! COMM ou-out?"
Oh, cat ambitious Thou vert born to lead:
Thou arc the first ifpeacc, in war the furs *
And to provide for each and every need,
Thou never goest out without my purss.
And like most hnman vocalists who sing,
You get back up, cat, at every thing
Why dost thou rage, vain cat, when sable night
With "dewy freshness fills the silent air"
Why dost thou climb the roof to yell and fight,
And rip and spit and snort and crawl and
" swear? go
Dost thou not blush, sweet cat, when rosy dawn
Sees half thy fur clawed out, and one eye gone
Oh, cat, thou would'st not thus disturb the
moon,
If to the Temperance pledge thou woulds
but stick; -
Thou would'st not fight, unless at some saloon,
Thou didst get tighter, cat, than any brick.
| know you cat; see 1t in your eye;
Full oft you take your catnips on the sly.
Go, gentle cat, go from my lap and prowl
Upon the dizzy wood-shed's beetling height,
On lofty dormer window sit and howl,
:, Anhcvery thing that weareth cat-hair fiji light.
And Twill love thee still, for all of that,
Because [ would not have thee less cat.
Yet hear! When midnight pauses in the sky,
will arise from sleepless couch of mine,
And guided by thy animated cry,
!. And: by thine eyes so brilliantly that shine,
/ will take down nay trusty culverin,
And with six pounds of buckshot fill thy skin.
ut is also first on the wood-shed.

The requirments of the dress for surf
bathing give little chance for a change
of style, froms eason to season.
Conveniently, the costume consists of
pair Of trowsers and a blouse belted in
at tae waist. The material needed is
something Of a wiry, elastic order, with
considerable weight, but not very thick,
so that it will. snffer the water to drain
through easily and yet not cling closely
to the figure. The material thus far in
greatest demand is a stout, rough, WOOL
en- serge; mohair serge is also used.
