THE KILKENNY CATS.
DT ILEV. T. DE Wilt TALMAGE
Among the beautiful, hills: of an in
land county' of Ireland 'occurred a.trage
dy with which we are all . familiar. It
seems that one day, urged on WI, mar
vellotts.and violent spirit, two cats ate
each other up; leaving nothing but the
tips of their tails. There never has been
.a more exhaustive treatment of any sub
ject:
We were once disposed to take the',
whole account as apocryphal. We asked
ourselves how it was possible. There
are'anatomical and mathematical laWs
denying it. Admit a moment, for the
sake of argument, that they succeeded
in masticating each other's heads, all
progress must have Ceased at that pOino
for the teeth of both parties having been
destroyed, how cbuld they haVe pursued
their phYsiological investigations any
? Beside this, digestion could
net have been going on in both their
sVcaintelitt at the same time, for at the
hour when the salivary fluid was passing_
from the ptirotid to the ,submaxillary
glankofekt number one upon cat Mull
ber two, ihe gastric juice and pancreat•
is secretions in the latter would have•
been so neutralized that they could
not have acted on the organism of the
former. (See Bardach on Physiology . ;
Treliiranus on - uniformity of Phenome- -
nit ; Van Belmont on the Cardiac Ori
fice ; •Silvius on' Chyle ;Martin Farqu
har Temper on Solitude ; and Blumen
beckon Nisus Formativus.)'
Furthermore, the conclusion of the
Kilkenny story in regard to the unin
jured extremities of the two cats would
seem to prove the fallacy of :the whole
narrative, because the ferocity of the
felines whichstopped not`for ribs, back..
bone, sirloin and haunches, would have
gone on until none wouldhave been left to
toll the tale. •
'Nevertheless; I must accept the -histo
rical accuracy of the 'statement. It is•
confirmed by ars and_ contempo,
rary witnesse, and by our own observa

pOtually ravaging . the milkpans ;Amil so
we descended into thepallar with a - bean
pole, expecting — with:one blow to wreck
captial punishment upon the depredator.
It was one of the evilest hours of our
lives.
Sitting in our study this morning, at
peace with all the world, we shudder at
the reminiscence. At our first stroke the
cat of ordinary dimensions swelled up
into a monster, that with glaring eyes
darted after us. We felt that our future
usefulness, and the future interest of the
Dutch Church, with which we were con
nected, depended . u . pon the stroke of our,
bean pole, and with one terrific stroke
we sent her back to the wall of the cel
lar. Each stroke of our weapon in
creased the circumference of her eyes,
the height of her bristles, the length of
her tail, and the agony of the encounter.
Our bean polo broke, but this aroused us
only tp more determination. What a
story it would be to tell that a youth,
fresh from scanning VirgiVand parsing
Milton's battle'of Archangels had kmri
killed by a cat
That should nexerhe I She came up
with redoubled fury, the dirt flying from
her paws, and her intensity of .feeling on
the•subject emphasized by a supernatu

We called out for reinforcements. The
housekeeper came promptly.to the res
cue with the broomstick. We gave her
tile aid. We did not want to Monope- -
lire all the glory of the affray. We stood'
on the stew_ with every
: possible word of
encouragement. . We told her that the
eyes of the world were upon her. We
cried : Give it to her !" All our sym
pathies wore with the broomstick ; and ,
it is sufficient to remark that we Won the
day.

• The, Albany' Knickerboaci• mentions
ono of the most singular: cases of love
fad attaeliment that has been developed
a king while. It occurred on the
night of the twenty-second instant, when
a well known young widOW,.living in
Central avenno,'in - Albany, was found at
the cemetery, in the western bounds of
that City. Her husband recently died,
and so deeply had she mourned his loss,
that tier friends began to fear that her
mind-was - disordered.• About one o'clock
on Tuesday night she was missed from
her home. Her friends, thinking she
had gone to the . cemetery, pursued their
way thither, and, strange 'to say, there
they found the unfortunate woman pros
trate upon the grave of 'her husband,.
praying:and crying, and almost perished
from cold. She resisted all efforts to re
move her by persuasion, and it was only
b, force that she was compelled to retie
quish her position at the grave of her
departed husband and protector. Her
attachment was apparently stronger in
death than in life, for her poor mind had
become — disordered; almost hopelessly.
Such 'cases of love 'aro very Tare. It is,
feared that the poor creaturewill have to

, There, aro thousands of liusy -- pceple
who, die every year for want of sleep. It
may.,biS' that too much Sleep injures
some ; but in all excitable people, and iu
our intense business habits, there is .far
more inischicif for want Of sleep than'

comes a 'diSease. It is the precursor of
insanity. When it does not reach to
that sad result, it is still full of peril, as
well ailsOf suffering. t ,Thousands of men
have been indebted for bad bargains, for
lack of coinage, for ineffectiveness, to
less of sleep.
It is'eurious that all the popular poet
ical representatives of sleeping and wak

speak of sleVas the imagi3 of death, and
of our-Waking hours,as the image of life.
But•all activity is the result of some form
of decomposition in the- body. Every
thought, still more . every emotion and
volition; wastes some part of the nervous
substance, precisely as flame is produced
Uc wasting the fuel. It is the death of
ome part of the physical substance that
produces the phenoinena of intelligence
and voluntary-life.
•On the 'other hand, sleeP is not, like
death; for it is the period in'Which the
wasting of the system ceases, or is re
duced to its minimum. Bleep repairs
the waste which waking hours have
made. The night is the repair shop of
the body. Every part of the system is
silently overhauled, and all the organs
tissues, and substances are replenished.
I Waking consumes ; sleep-replaces wak
ing exhausts, sleep repairs ; waking is
death ; sleep is life.
Every mammust sleep according to his
temperament. But eight hours is ; the

HALCYON 'DAYS,
The poetic imagination of the Greeks
threw the pretty myrth of tho halcyon
birds around the short and dreary days
of mid whiter. For seven days before
and seven after the winter solstice, these
birds brood over their nest, which floats
upon the sea. -.Molt's guards the winds,
and not eyOu a zephyr ruffles the waves
bile they boar unharmed the precious
treasure committed to their trust. The
season is dear to seamen, for over "the
plaCia'sea the ships are safely borne to
their destined harbor; no clouds cobS'eure
the sunlight, mid no tempest distnibthe
cop. Serenity and peace yeign in the
heavens above and the waters beneath,
while in their floating cradle the mythic
birds are being warmed into life.
Ceyx, the King of Thessaly, and son
of Hesperus, the morning star, marries
•Tfaleyone, -the daughter Of Bolus, god
.t-f-therwindt.----They-lovema'cirtithointe
'votedly, but over their happy life a
change comes. Ceyx has the misfortune
to lose his brother, and the sad event is
followed by direful—prodrges, indicative
of the anger of the gods. He determines
to make a voyage to 'lonia; to consult the
oracle of Apollo. Thilcyone, with sad
forebodings of coming ill, is itiConsola
ble for his departure, and with tears and
sobs bids him farewell. Her presenti
ments are only too true. A fierce storm
overwhelms the shir),,iand CeyA sinks be
neath the waves.
Meanwhile Haleyone watches aux
ionsly for his return, makes ready for
his arrival, dresses herself in gay ap
parel, offers frequent incense to the gods,
but more than all to Juno. She prays
constantly for his return, and that dur
ing his absence he;ifiay remain true to
his love for her. At last the goddess,
moved by her distress, sends to her a
vision, which levet
.the sorrowing
wire'the loss of her husband. Ili the
morning she goes.to the seashore, that
she may look upon the Spot where him
last saw him, and, borne by the waves,
tho inanimate form of Ceyx appraches
the shore. She throws herself into the
sea, and as she falls the pitying gods
change timm both into birds.

Professor Pumpelly, in his admirable
book of travels round . the world, gives
the following , ,very correct sketch of the
manner orsleeping in Japan': •
"As I was about to pass my first night
in e Japanese . house, I watched, max.
ionsly, the preparations .for sleeping.
They were simple enough : a mattress in
the form of a, very thick guilt, about
seven feet long by four wide, was spread
on the floor ; and over it was laid an
anipie robe, very long; and heavily pad
ded, and provided 'with largo sleeves.

sle!erier covers biniself up With another
quilt, and sleeps, that is if he lies, some
years' practice In the use of his bed.
"But . the most remarkable feature
about a, Japanese bed is the pillow.
This is a wooden box, about four inches
high, eight inches long, and two inches
-wide at the top, It has a cushion of
folded papers on the upper side to rest
the neck upon, for the elaborate manner
of dressing the hair does not permit the
Japanese, especially the women, to rest
the head upon the pillow. Every morn
ing the upperrhost paper is taken off the .
cushion, exposing a clean surface, with
out the expense of washing a 'Miley'. •
"I pabsecl the greater part of the night
In learning how to poise my head in this
novel manner ; and when I finally closed
my eyes, it was to dream that I was
being lilowly•beheaded, and to awake at
the crisis to find the pillow 'bottoin side
up, and my back resting on the sharp
lower edge of the box. During
. m 7 stay
in the country I learned many of its cue
toms, mastering the use of chopsticks,
and accustoming my palate to raw fresh
fish ; but the attempt to balance my head
on a two inch pillow I gave up iii despair,
trying, in vain, to zecure the box,
by tying it to my neck and head. 7

and 12 in, width, without a break or flaw
for the greater portion of that extent.
The stratinn of solid salt is about six or
seven inches thick, under which comes a
layer of Velcy, singular looking' mud,
about two feet thick, and under this
