A Sailor Cat.

| once did own a cat of Persian micn.
As handsome a eat as e'er was seel..
Long silky fur parting right and left
Straight along the spinal line.
But at the end no tail to find.
From an Arab ship bought the pet
When young, in fact it was but . kit.
Yet SO sagacious it seemed to know
1t was up for sale, and need must show
All its points to attract the buyer
Who would note them, and pay the higher.
The arttul pus> in wanton play.
Would seldom her rear display.
But boldly face you from every corner
That you might not miss the tail, and scorn her
one day this cat without a tail
Was walking aft upon the rail.
As she neared the mainsail clew
A sudden puff from out it blew.
kttie lost her footing took a header.
Rose and struck ont boldly for the rudder.
The ship was bowling off ten miles the hour.
Which was too much for kittie'> power.
She fell astern. eddying in our wake
Down goes our wheel for her dear sake
| The good ship comes flying too,
| LACKS. ana sheets are let 20.
While she is on her homeward track
Our main yard comes flying flat aback.
| The ship loses way, then falls astern,
| While we encourage kittie to return.
| BowIine bights we dange from each quarter
| She swims to one, splitting the briny water
| Places her fore legs through the blight
And clings to the rope with all her might.
| She is pulled in, and for moment lay
| Upon our deck, a lump of clay.
| Our wheel goes up, tacks come down
And ere the ship her course has found,
| The cat reviyes, and sneaks away
| And is not seen for many day
| Until the gale was spent She hid from sight,
4 >adcer eat by day and night.
For years after, Just before a gale.
We would miss this eat without tail.
| Hunt the ship from stem to stern.
| But nothing of her could we learn
From land to land, from sea to sea.
She sailed the world with me.
No barometer was ever truer to note coming
gale,
Than the hiding of this cat before a gale.
| have seen the boldest sailor heave Il sigh
| And noted tear in the stewards eve,
| When pussy would not answer to our call.
A sad foreboding fell upon Us all
And without cloud to dim the sky,
We knew gale was drawing nigh,
| And made preparations to withstand Il gale
Which was sure to follow, and never fail.
From Bombay, and up through China and Jap
an Sea.
The cat was as playful as u eat need be,
But when the Pacific Ocean we had entered.
| Our thoughts on her We're centred.
GAZE after gale in quick succession passed;
We speculated how long the cat could fast.
| But days ran into weeks, Il month went by,
But nothing of her could we spy.
| My story is told. None ever knew her end
| But long we mourned the dear Old friend

VIoroR HUGO wrote his first successful
play in eight days.



Nomenclature among the Indians is
apt to be exceedingly bewildering, both
to themselves and everybody else, from
the fact that one name, whether of
person or thing, never has the slight
est distinct relation.
To one unacquainted with customs
which dictate these names, the ridicu.
lous and often apparently meaningless
titles seem absurd freaks of fancy. This
they often are, to be sure, but as fire.
quently they have significance which
honors the man if it does not designate
his family. Ordinarily, however, the
appellation he receives is obtained at
random, and it is likely to be changed
any time, either by the wearer or his
friends. In fact it is quite the thing
for warrior to change his name after
each exploit, always adopting some de-
scriptive and complimentary title, or
perhaps-unfortunately for HMM
case Of failure in an expedition, cow
ardice or some evidence of weakness, he
has it changed for him by his friends.
All Indians, even great chiefs, seem to
possess remarkable fondness for nick
naming; and while the leading man in
the tribe may insist on being called by
his own choice title, nothing prevents
his being known and designated by q
very different, and perhaps uncompli-
mentary name. As deformities, pecul-
iarities of character or accident to limb
or feature often suggest fit names, it is
sometimes impossible to know by the
appellation whether the warrior is in
contempt or honor among his associ.
ates. Strangely enough, too, however,
far from ilattering the title of warrior,
he is sure to accept it sooner or later.
There is single approach to general
custom in the naming of sons by theil
fathers, and the daughters by then
mothers. Daughters names are never
altered, and, as married women do moi
take their husbands names, there il
nothing in the appellation to indicate
whether an Indian Noman is married OF
single.
