A LOVERS SUICIDE.

DisconsOIate Cat who Went to Join
His Dead Mistress in the Cas- Para

Some time ago we were without a cat
and the mice were evidently getting
''the upper hand, and required the
upper paw Of puss TO keep them with
in bounds. At this important domestic
luncturc friend offered us u fine French
kitten, which we accepted. Her coat
was very delicate and nicely marked
tabby and she was lively and promis-
ing animal
But 1t soon became evident that she
differed very considerably in char
acter and disposition from the English
cat Her predatory powers were ex-
IRENE, her agility amazing, and nothing
edible could be kept out of her reach.
Like COwper's Frenchman, she was
both dcbonnaire and brisk, " and was
IN the habit Of helping herself TO for
hidden food, or, in other words. of
taking French leave" Our cooked
meat was kept on a shelf suspended
from the cellar ceiling, and no cat had
ever before been known to set foot on
that shelf. But "Fuzzn was more clever
than her predecessors, and was caught
thereon in the act of regaling herself on
q cold leg of mutton. Various con
triyances were rcsorted 20 in order TO
Illustrate her future designs, but she was

all obstacles with ease. What, then.

into consideration, and sentence of
aqueous immersion was passed upon
her. The sentence was carried into
execution, and the remains were taken
into the garden for interment; but as
the ground was frozen, they were put
into the harbOr, there to await the break
ing up Of the frost. A day or two after
this, walking down the garden towar,
