THE HOUSEHOLD PET;
BY 11.F.Y. EDEN B. LATTA.
Well hath the poet said that Death,
With his glifittly mien and his chilling breath
With his icy_ hand'hnd his heart of stone,
Bath every season for his own.
There's no escape from his poisoned dart ;
'Twill pierce in its flighreach throbbing heart;
E'en now iha bow and the string are set,
And the shaft is aimed at the Household Pet.
She struggles now with the monster grim ;
Her cheeks grcw pale and her eyes grow dim
Her attenuate form is,,racked with. pain,
And efforts to save seem all in vain ;
They are in vain—she is going fast;
Her form is chill—she has breathed her last ;
'Ds a solemn fate, but it must be met
p.'en-by the little Household Pet.
She is gone I —we never shall see her more
In her childishiiiorte,` as oft-before.;
No more shall look_in her sparkling eye,
No more shall Hit to her sweet bye-bye;
The itienn.has toile to,its rest afar,
Perchance to dwell on some distant star;
Of all she was, naught iemaineth yet.
But the dust of the little Household Pet.
She has gone fromearth with its pain and care;
She 'safe in a realm that r is'brightmnd fair ;
And cheering to us who,linger here
To - know that her way to heaven was clear ;
But yetit is hard to gi4e her up;
And the hand is slow to take the cup,
`And•-hearts are bleeding. and eyes are wet,
For the little; playful Household Pet.
Adieu! sweet child ! it h thine to go--:
And ouhrto rer.oain a while below ;
Ours to lament that thou art dead, '
And strew'with Bowers thy. grassy bed ;
But while we grieVe, 'twill be sweet to know
That our Heavenly Father ordered so ;
And that, however deep may be our regret,
It is well with the little Household Pet. -

MARIETTA, SATURDA
About a year after .my scaffold acci
dent, I goes home one night; • and. Mrs. .
Binge—that's our mix' roorii neighbor—
shows me something wrapped up in flan
nel. all pink and creasy, and tery snuffly,
as though it wanted its, nose blowed ;
which couldn't be expected, for it hadn't
got any to - signify.. _
•!Ain't it a little beauty ?" she says.
Well, I couldn't see as it was ;• but I
didn't like to say so, for 'knew My wife
Polly had been rither reckoning on
what she said we - ought to hir#e had
inore'n a year agoiso I didn't like to
disappoint her, for I knew she lay lie-
tenin' in the nex' room.
Tolly,always said there sever was
enehlt baby as that one ; and somehow
it was taking to see hOw her, face used
to light up all over smiles when she
thought I *oral looking ; and I knew
it waaall' on account of the little 'un.
She never said she felt dull 'now; and
whenoat home of a night I used to think
how my mates would laugh to see Mit
handling the little thing that was allus
being pushed into my face to kiss ; when
I'm blest if ever I seen such a voracious
fun in my life.; it would hang on to yon
—nose, lip, anywheres—in a minute.
One day, when it was about nine
months old, it was taken all of a sudden
Hie with a fit. Voay . screamed to me
to run for the doctor ; for it happened
that I was on the club that week, and at
home with a bad hand. I run for him,
and, he soon come; and then there was
a warm bath and medicine but after
ward, when 1 saw thelittle thing lying
on Polly's,lap so still and quiet, and with
a dull'film forming over its eyes, I felt
that something was coming, though I
dared: not tell her ; and about 'twelve
p'--clock the little thing suddeuly.statte!
stared wildly an Instant, and then it was
all over.
My hand warn't bad any More that
week ; for it took all my time to try and
cheer up my poor heart-broken lase.
She did'take on dreadful, night and day,
till we buried it ; and-then she seemed
to take quite a change, and bugged of
me to forgive what she called her selfish
ness, and - wipilid hefejes once for all, as
blie said, and talked about all.being for
the best. But she didn't know that I
lay awake of a night, feeling her cry si
lently till the pillow was soaked with
tears.
We buried the little one' on Sunday
and on the iionday morning 1 was clap
ped on to a job that I didn't quack relish
forlt was the re-bricking of a sewerihat
ran• down one of the main streets, quite
fifty feet• underground. '
Arter two years in London I'd seen
some change; but this was my first visit
to the bowels of the earth. I'd worked
on drains down in the country, but not
in sach*a concern as this ; why 'a life
guard might have walked down it easy`;
ea that there was plenty of room to
work. But then, mind you, it ain't plea
' sant work; there you. go, down ladder
after ladder, past gas-pipes and water
pipes, and down and down, till you get
to the stage stretched across the part
that ypu are at work on, with the day
light so high up, as seen through boards
and scaffolds, and ladders, that it's "no
rise r to you who are working by the light
of flaring gals. There in front of lon is
the dark, black arch ; and there behind
you is another; while under your feet
the foul rushing water hurries along,
sending up a smell as turns your silver
watch, end every sixpence and shilling
you have in your pocket. black as 'the'
water that mid° bribbling along. Er
au word you speak gonads hollow and
echoing, while it goes whispering and
rumbling along the dark arch till' you
think it has gone, wfien.all at .once you
hear it again quite plain in a way as
would make you jump as much as when
half a brick or a hit o' bard mortar
dropped into'the water. -
But talk about jumping, nothing made
me.jump more than a bit .of soil, or a
stone' was ioosened up 'Came

from the thought that suppose the earth

ydu think o' being buried, and when it
fe l ls bits'of earth came and rattled down
upon the stage above my head, as soon
asthe first start was over, it seemed to
me so like rattling o' the earth but Ei
few hours before.upon &little coffin, that
something fell with a pat upon my bright
trowel, which, if it-had been left, would
have been a spot a' rust: •
Nothing-like work puts a fellow to
rights; and I soon found that I was feel
ing better, and the strokes o' my-trowel
went ringibg away down the sewer iie t i
out the Wells in half; and after a bit , I
alinost felt inclined to whistle ; but I
didn't, for I kept on thinking o' that
solitary face at home—the face that
ways brightened up when I went back,
and bid made such a man of me as I felt
I was, for it V was enough to make any
man vain to be thought so much of.
And then I thought how dull she'd be,
and-how fond she'd be o' looking at the
drawer where all-the little things were
kept; and-then I—well, I ain't ashamed
of it,if I Pm a great hulking fellow—l
took care that nobody saw what I was

knew where . I was, I was off the little
platform, splash down - in the cold rush

yards upon yards - before I get .nty head

and half-stunned that I let it go under

on my shoulder, and then close againet

Again the hOrior of thick darknom,

and the cry went echoing through the

better of it, andpersuaded myself that I
