Gen. Neal DOw's Rat story.
THE STORY THE FATHER OF THE PRoHIB-
TToRY LIQUOR LAW TELLS.

The Boston CoRgregatiOnalist tell
this rather curious rat story as coming
from Neal Dow, of Portland, Me-:
My house is supposed to be rat-proof
and was so when quite new, but at one
time, more than twenty years ago, We
had a large colony of the rodents, greatly
to our annoyance, and it was with us &
matter of daily wonder where they found
a weak spot in our defense against them
One evening a young lady from a
friends family, living in a large, fine
house nearly mile away, was with us,
and the talk turned on rats, as we heard
ours gauoping in the ceiling and scam
pering up and down the walls. The
young lady said that none had ever been
in their house, and she did not think
there was any point at which they could
enter. Ny eldest daughter, a great wit,
said
I've heard that, if politely invited to
do so in writing, rats will leave any
house, and 60 to any other to which
they may be directed, and l will tell ours
that at your house they will find spa
cious quarters and an excellent commits
sariat."
At the moment, before us all, she
wrote most grandiloquent letter to the
large family of rats that had so long fav-
ored us with their presence, pointing
out to them that at No. 65 Pearl street
was a large, fine house which had never
been favored with the residence of any
Of their family, where they would find
ample quarters and a fat larder. When
finished, she read the missive to the
company, and we had great laugh over
it. As an old superstitution, she then
put lard upon it. and carried it into the
attic, where it would probably be found
by those to whom it was directed A
few days after, the young lady was at
our house again, and burst into a laugh, |
"Our house is overrun
with rats I" That recalled to us the fact |
that we had heard none in our walls. My |
daughter went to the attic and the letter
was gone. While we were talking and |
laughing over the curious affair a friend
name in, and, hearing the talk, said that
two evenings before, in the bright MOON
light, he saw several rats running down
Congress street which was the straight
road to Pearl street. We have never
leen troubled with them since, but I
nave not heard how it has been with the
louse to which our beneficiaries were
