AUGUSTA LOCALS.
His Transformation.

The urchins used to cry.
AS he walked down the street:
Look at the silly guy!
Oh, mama. amt he sweet!
The women used to say
TIE hadn't any brain;
Men passed him on the way
With looks of deep disdain.
But that was months ago,
He's been away since then
Why are they cheering SO?
All, here he comes again!
The peoples heads are bare,
Tears rise in many an eye;
His praises fill the air
a hero passes by.

Williamina who selected corner of
his study for her kittens and brought
them in from the kitchen one by one
Dickens had them taken away again.
but Williamina persisted in bringing
them back. The third time OF their
removal she did not leave them in the
corner. but instead placed them at
her masters feet and taking her stand
beside them. looked imploringly up at
him. Most OF the family were finally
given away: only one remained. The
little crcaure followed Dickens about
like dog and sat beside him while he
wrote. One evening the author was
reading at small table upon which
was lighted candle. As usual the cat
was at his elbow. Suddenly the light
went out. Dickens was much inter-
ested In his book and relighted the
candle. l; was only when the light be-
came dim again that he turned sud
denly and found the kitten deliberate
ly putting the light out with her paw.
She was lonely. she wanted to be pet
