THE DEVIL FISHING.


The devil sat by the rivers side ,,, o,u e,a
The stream of time, where you'll always nno
him
Casting his line in the rushing tide,
And landing his fish on the bank behind him.
He sat at ease in a cosy nook,
And was filling his basket very fast,
While you might have seen that his deadly
hook
Was differently baited for every cast.
He caught 'em as fast as a man could count;
Little or big-it was all the same;
A Congressman nabbed it, and out he came.
He took jem that as Saturn shOne,
1t sank in the water without a sound;
woman caught 1t who long was known
AS the best and purest for miles around.
Sometimes he would laugh, and sometimes
For better luck no one could wish;
And he seem ed to know to a dead sure thing
The bait best suited to every fish.
Quoth Satan: sThe fishing is rare and fine !'
And he took a drink, somewhat enthused;
But now q parson swan round the line,
Who e'en the most tenn pting of bats refused
He baited with gold, and with flashing gems;
He hung fame and fortune upon the line,
And dI essing-gowns with embroidered hems-
But still the Dominic made no sign.
A woman's garter went on the hook,
"I have him at last" quoth the devil bright
Then Satan's side with laughter shook,
And he landed the preacher quick as light
ming.

Puss and tho Sparrows.

The other day number of gentleman
were sitting in the detectives room in
the City Hall when an English sparrow
few near the window, peeped in, and
darted away again. Capt. Holzworth,
who saw the little fellow, said that when
ever he saw sparrow it reminded him
of little scene which occurred in his
yard one cold day last winter. The
sparrows, it seems, ascertained the fact
that there was knot-hole in the gable
of his house and took advantage of their
knowledge by taking possession of the
hole and a portion of his attic, where
they passed the winter as snug as bugs
in rug. The Captains wife has warm
spot in her heart for birds. So when the
ground was covered with snow, and the
little fellows ran risk of starving to
death, Mrs. FL. would sweep away the
snow and spread upon the ground fine
repast of crumbs. The sparrows soon
learned to depend upon her, and told
their friends what fine landlady they
had. In consequence hundreds of them
congregated daily about the Captain s
house and partook of his charity. Close
to the spot where the birds were usually
fed was pile of bricks, and upon this
pile the Captains cherished mouser used
to station herself for the purpose of
watching for prey. AS soon as the birds
would get comfortably settled about
the crumbs the cat would pounce upon
them and invariably get q tender spar
row for dinner. Finally the birds be-
came accustomed to the cats mode of
procedure, and would be on the watch
whenever they were feeding. They were
so alert that the cat would hardly get
ready for spring before they were up
in the air and out of danger. One day
they were eating as usual, and the cat as
usual was watching them. Like bolt
of lightning the mouser jumped into
their midst, but they were too quick for
her, and escaped unhurt. Miss Tabby,
not discouraged, mounted the pile of
bricks again and awaited their return.
The sparrows, after flying about for
some time, finally settled upon the fence
at the foot of the lot, where they held a
long and interesting confab. After chat
tering away for several minutes, they
cautiously returned to their crumbs and
resumed their eating, keeping all the
while sharp lookout for the enemy.
After the cat had become satisfied that
they were too much interested in satisfy
ing their appetite to think of her, she
made another spring. The birds were
up in an instant, and instead of flying
away as usual, they formed themselves
into hollow square and charged upon
the foe. Some got upon the cats back
and scratched and picked with all their
might; others few right into her face,
while the balance made it interesting in
the rear. The cat was SO surprised at
first that she stood unable to move. The
birds became more and more infuriated,
and fought such savage battle that
they drove the foe down the garden path
on a full gallop and under the barn.
They returned to their feast and were
left to themselves the balance of the win
ter, the cat making herself scarce when
they put in an appearance.-Cleoela

commencement of last year with 108 fowls.
He kept an accurate account of the re-

what he had consumed, amounted to

GARFIELD AS A SCHOLAR,

Chicago Tribune
II is said that Gen. Garfeld's scholastic
attachments fit him for the head Of the list
Of men Of literary repute in the Senate, and
that he will be the best scholar in the body
when he takes his seat there.
The closest student Of our day in the
senate was the late Charles Sumner; and il
his mantle has fallen upon Gen. Garfeld's
shoulders, it will be worthily worn. lIC
will not excel Thurman as an able, pro-
found and well-read lawyer and logical de.
batter, but his knowledge Of public affairs
and his information on general and spccia
subjects, far surpass those possessed by his
illustrious and learned predecessor.
