An Indignant Cat.

A cousin of mine had cat which had
just brought into the world some fine
healthy kittens. According to the US
ual custom on these occasions, some Of
the kittens were drowned, while two
We're retained for their mother to rear.
These were kept in compartment of
an old kitchen table or dresser" This
snug retreat had little door, which
was kept closed by means of a bolt.
One day young visitor desired to see
the kittens, which were accordingly
taken to the drawing-room by one of
the daughters of the house. During
the absence of the kittens, the cat,
which he'd been in the garden, came in
to the kitchen, and went as usual to re-
pose beside her little ones. She looked
into the dresser, and, finding no kittens
there, slammed the door in a rage and
left the kitchen, her tail thick with in
dignation.-Ch Chambers Journal.

OnIv Three Times a Week.

A bold, bad man entered the editors
room with baseball club in his hand,
and asked for the boss.
"Pm your man." said the editor,
twisting uneasily about in his chair.
"Well, I'm here to see about what
you had in about me last week, and
have an explanation or fight"
"All right; I'll explain, because if
there is anything I can do better than
another it is to explain. What's
wrong?"
"Why, you said I whipped my wife
every day in the week, and it amt So"
"But didn't you whip her?"
"Of course I did, but don't I do it
only three times week, and I don't in
tend to have my reputation ruined by
any scurrillous notices in the news
papers, and you can bet your blood on
it. A mans family is something sacred
to him, and when newspapers invade the

parted, leaving the editor to make the

atoned for by the fact that they broke the
social ice at parties, and allowed the half
frozen young people the liberty of mo-
ton, and led them into graceful revolu-
ton, and freedom of limbs, that has
found a counterpart in the later and uni
versal accomplishment of dancing. 1t
was rather inconsistent in the guardians
of the youth of past age, to object to
the waltz and countenance a promis-
cuous games of kissing, but it is possible
that the harm in either is supposed by
theory rather than practice, and the
surest way to eliminate wrong from an
amusement is to take it into the family
circle under the vigilant eyes of fathers
and mothers, and give it the sanction Of
domestic usage. A circle of young peo-
pie sitting in solemn state, INDUCING
only in conversation, have more oppor-
tunity for envy, hatred and malice, than

The City Reds.

Every bootblack in London has
burst in on his box the words, "The
City Reds" The bootblacks all wear
brilliant scarlet coats and have on
round caps with a red band about them
and brass number on the band. If
you go along the Strand or any other
principal street about 9 o'clock in the
morning, you will meet them in squads,
with their boxes set jauntily on their
heads and their hands in their pockets
marching as if they were company of
soldiers, generally singing some of the
popular songs Of the day. At intervals
they drop one of their number, and
there he stands, saying, Bleak, sir,
bleak?" and bleak enough it is for
them around some of the London street
corners on a winters day. AS a gen
aral thing there is notice on the box
which says, eve use Bunkum's black
ing" and for this Mr.. Bunkum gives
them the backing free. When you put
your foot on this box the red coat filings
himself on his knees and goes to work
with a will. The backing box is prob
ably inside the kit, but the patron OF
the black art never sees it. The boy
keeps a great smear of backing on the
side of the foot-box, and with his fin
gers he rubs the backing taken from
this smear on to the boot He is gem
orally very expert and very respect
full, touching his cap and saying "Thank
you" With quite grateful air as he
gets his 2 cents, for Londoner never
thinks of giving more for shine.

ing with longing eyes into wonderland.
Half an hour after the train had settled
itself for the night tall girl in brown

81 wonder if it would be imprudent as
we'll as improper to go to sleep in the
wheat, Ruth-liEe and romantiC?"
She spoke aloud, but nothing in the
profound stiffness answered her. The
moon had touched the fair horizon, sill
vering the crest of the west side hills.
Despite herself, the girl was trife tired
and very sleepy.
care these poppies in the wheat?" she
asked herself, smiling. "What if | go to
sleep for just five minutes, who shall say
me mayor carer
It was a long five minutes. The first
meadow lark staid his shrill mathis lest
he should waken her; and a fair young
man on a pie-bald mare checked his gal
lop with startled abruptness to see a
woman's figure in a linen dress, asleep
or deadly the supervisors highway
The piebald mare stood still, nibbling
the milky wheat. The young man ap-
preached the recumbent folds of linen,
half hidden under the cruikshank hat
Quite as matter of course he knelt be-
side her, and gently pushed back the
broad brim of the big hat. The first ray
of rosy morning fell upon the sleeping
face. The eyes of the young man opened
their widest in recognition. Then the
eyes Of the young woman opened also,
only to close again as she murmured
something he could not catch. He bent
more near. Surely, it was in dream she
spoke:
"And you have come back to me at
last--to hear me say | am sorry"
You ask, where was her woman's pride,
that she gave back the freedom without
the asking? That you gentlemen and
misses is something no one may answer
for any one else.
