A holy hermit rescued once mouse
A savage bird had seized upon for prey,
And kept the little rodent in his house.

And moved in pity for his pet thereat.
The saint with power Of miracles pos

Transformed his protege into q cat.
But now the mouse, or rather cat instead,
OF every cur was quite as much afraid
Whereon the saint, to end the feline's dread
Wrought q new charm, and puss dog was

And so give honor to his human friend
He foully purposed by sudden blow
His savior's life to take and body rend.

the Tribune, characterize the performance
as disgraceful, yet no reference was made

had no idea of requiring the offenders
against the dignity of the house 10 apollo
gize for their action. Cannon's remarks

made them. The house is in vile tem-
