All her other admirers have retired from the
field discomfited and clitagritted —comforting
themselves wall the reflection that it will not
be long berm Garry Grover will also be the
victim of her coquetry. It is undepiably

to.

.die a degenerate descendant of the lion --
the largest of the cat kind 4 Or did the lion,
tiger, and leopard. vet , spring from her ?
The rat has the grace and treachery of the
devil. When most in earnest, she creeps,
like the sat pent, the devil' entered into ; and
her hair is phosphoric ! She delights in
darkness Why should an animal which
possesses such fiendish attributes be petted,
or eben tolerated in tbeirvilised household
She proves herself the fiend she is, by her
inveterate animosity to the dog, who posses.
Hes most of the highest attributes of human
nature. I deny the justice of using the word
dig as an opprobrious epithet; but confess
that when the lard ear is thus used, it is
singularly felicitous. Mn.s James' cat is in
danger Mr. Jenkins' dog sees her. She
curls her hack. Ile seizes her. Mrs.
cat is dead ! She has given her last kick by
the cow barn. The 'Mir will, doubtless,
create a sensation in Mrs. James' bosom,
and perhaps it may lead to a rupture of the
friendly relations between Mrs. James and
Mr. Jenkins. Kills widow's cat, and you
touch her dearly. The dog is of no breed ;

going over to the depot across the meadow
with Mies Brown, dust before the cars left.
What has ho to do with Miss Brown at this
time of day —and at his time of day? Ile
is forty and she is only eighteen, as nigh as
I can guess. Mr. Brown, her father, a vary
respectable gentleman, with no wife, comes
out to this little collection of lonesome hous

days, and hero Sweetser has genotlifff Await
his daughter.` It looks very much like an

rich case of this.. I should enlarge upon the
duty of parents to keep a strict watch over
their daughters till they had arrrived it the
goal of matrimony, no matter how iidd they
were. There is no telling by the ',kooks of

you stroke her back the right way. But
woman, often, the more she is caressed, the
less she cares for the Laresser. f am nirry
to say such bongs atiout women, here' in my
private reports in this village, but it does

showing how the women are eloping.
