The ISaiix Cat.
TOLD  BY  A  COUNTRY   DOCTOll  IN  KEW ENGL.VND.
It is iin old New Knglund stiperstitioii —old a3 llie days of tlK" ^reiit Salem seu- sation. but still prevaieni iu our districts. The E^iyptians have a fancy near akin to it ; but then tliere is a grave difference between anE;ypiiHn a<^d a New Eng- lander. allhougli bolli.no doubt, belong t\> the Iniraan lace. At least, the ethiio hjgists say so.
"IJewareon 'eno. Job." was my moth er's last injunciion to me years since, when the dew of life was on the grass, and the great, golden bu^tprcups always nodded guod-inorning as I went tjy ; and it was an injunction she always served on young man ifd couples just beginning the world. I had jnst caught and caged my bird in sweet Molly Divis. who made green grass, and daisies, and violets, and .lune weatlier, wJ.erever she went ; and I was about to settle dowu as a country doctor. I am an old man now, and full of whims ; but 1 never think of Molly in her blossonra, as slie was when I married her, without humming over and over to myself, and I have done it some days a hundred times :
And her feet Had music sweet.
And lier voice was low. And sbe sent. As slio went,
.Sunshine lo aud fro.
"Beware on 'em, Job,'* said my mother that dreamy September day when Molly and 1 parted from her to start in life all by ourselves: -'and you, Molly, be sure you never leave the cat in the room with "the baby. It's dangerous"—my mother always pronounced dangerous with the a short—"aud I've heard of queer acci¬ dents liappening. Teople have done it, and have come back to find the baby dead, and the cat purrin' away in the cradle, just as if it hadn't had auy hand in't."
I pooh-poohed mildly. '-Haven't you out-lived that notion of the ancients, mother?" 1 had long since outlived the ancients; it's strange how modern peo- pie are when ihey are young. "It's the cat's way of expressing the music in its soul." There was music in everything 10 me just then, with Molly blushing her rosiest, and life shading off into golden hazts on ihe horizon.
"I've heard  of people dyin' of over-
I am Dr. Job Needhara at your service —fees reasonable. I have been announced to the world as Dr. Job Needhnm by the same li;tle sign board ever since business and sign lK)ird and doctor have wagged on together for a score and eighteen years, until there is a sort of sympathetic understanding between myself and the parallelogram, wi h "Job Needham, M. D ," painted in dingy gold letters on a black siro4»d, and border, that represents me. I am it transmuted into humanity, <M it is I translated aud written out on a bit of deal; and I have of.en fancied UvAi the appearance of every new weath¬ er crack foreshadows the coming of a new wrinkle iu my face. I never walk into my oftice of a morning without nod¬ ding to it familiarly ; nor ever lock the oflice door of a night without muttering half to it and half to myself, "Good night, old friend ; I shall find yon here in the morning, I suppose;" and I half imagine it understands me, for it often creaks, as I talk to it, when there is no appreciable wind. It is a mere whim of mine, no doubt, but s ill I fancy some times that, if the rickety par.illelogram should fall down of a night, or be torn away by the wind, somehow or other the twinge of it would wake me up, and that, ehould it suddenly disappear, I should never he myself again, and should move about in the world wilh a sense of having lost something. It will drop away some time, I suppose, and I shall drop away with it, and sign board and physician will be gatherered iuto the great waste basket of the past, that contains many a sign board and its physician ; but, in the meantime, its decreptitude tallies with my decrepi i: ude, and every spot where the paint is rubbed off, and every corner gone from one of the gilt letters, is in some dim sort of a way a landmark of the old doctor's senescence.
It is well enough with the old sign board and the doctor in pleasant weather. But when Ihe rain beats against it and the rickety old parailelgram swings to and fro on ita rusty hooks, and the wind is high, twinges of rheumaiism in my old bones answer to every creaking, and come with every swing of the mute wit¬ ness of my toiling for the undiscovered X. And it will be so to the end, I sup- po.se. for I have strange moods when the old sign board is in trouble. But if the wind should happen to tear it loose of a night, and whirl it away, what then ?   They might not find ihe old doc-
wisdom," rejoined   my motlier, sarcasti
cally; "but"—and here she tapped heritor dead in liis bed the next morning, forehead wiih one withered finger—"it | but he would never be himself again—at isn't a disorder you're subject to.  Job. ' least, not with a uew siftn board.    But.

I remember the day so well, and the September, haze on the woodlands, and the maples turniug to cones of tire, and ihe old Needham house dozing in the sun shine, and my mother standing in the door and thinking tenderly, as I re¬ minded her of father, of a urass cover¬ ed grave away beyond the woods. Tlience 1 went forth to find the the value of the X in my equation, the turns, and wind ings and transpositions of which were then uncomprehended. It must have been an uiisolvable quadraiic. i think, with many suids and ne^'atives, for its x still eludes my analysis, and the solution Keems farther off ihan ever, after all these years ; while I have waxed wrinkled and gniy in long hunting for the unknown quau.ity. Molly is gray, too, and the '^u-Kcstion of daises and violets no longer lingers about her, although the June weather is there still, and she is thesame •'<wett. warm, placid soul, with haze  iiough f(u- perspec. ive, that she was then. Hiul alw.iys has been, expecting no un- ^'X'wii (piaiitiiy in this world, and con J«"t to wait for the x nntil it comes. '^''>**y are ftw—these souU of sweetness ""•1 li„'lit—and how it rests a man to ^^ti Lhi-m:
member of the family, and I fell kindlier than usual toward all created things with the newne.«s of the blessing. So, though his coming at that hour of the nighl was suspicious, aud he had no re¬ ferences, his mewing moved me, as it would not have done six months before, wi h a kind of sense of the blessedness of home even to a cat, and I admitted him wi h the apolgetic remark to Molly that there were a liood many rats in the house and that they kept me awake for hours, sometimes, with their goings on just overheard in the garret; an unnecessary hb to cover a beiievoJent transaction, for Molly, sweet soul, was as softened as I was with the coming of little Agnes, and would not have turned a dog out into the night, on Uut October evening, wi.h Agj;ie sleepin- placidly on her lap, and the firelight fiickerin- cozily in our faces. It was a babit with M.dly and me, after Aggie v;as born, to sit and talK low in the dark for an hour or so after I got iKune from the oifice on the ground that the light hurt the baby's eyes. Days of sweet dream ! And now moonlight with me is only another name for rheumatism. I was declaring dividends of happiness everyday in those days, and Manx came in for his percentage; and the outland¬ ish apparition could purr in a manner in¬ dicative of the rapt poetic reverie of a cat prupiriy appreciating its blessings.   X
have often observed him lie dreamily for hours, purring comfortably till the air was full of rhythmical vibrations, while his large, yellow, uncanny eyes stared me full in the face, and a kind of sleepiness carae over me ; then s'ait suddenly, with a kind of nervous shock and shudder, and take a turn, or a few rapid turns, up and down the room, his eyes, flaming in their sockets as I never saw eyes flame before—not even niy mother's grand gray eyes when she was angry—and light radi¬ ating about him like a luminous aura. In these attacks he developed singular electrical properties, and seemed lo live in an atmosphere of his own that oppress¬ ed Molly's sensitive nerves to terror mingled with a tendency to torpor and sleepiness; and I have observed him in the dark, stealinj? about like an elongated ball of fire, possibly two feet through at its longest diameter, and a foot and a half at its sluirtest, wih a lighted cat in the center. One evening, as I especially recall, when Molly and I were sitting cozily by the firelight, Manx started up in one of his tantrums, made a couple of rapid turns about the room, then whirled, leaped the open grate, and vanished np the flue, whence he presently emerged, a liltle singed and sooty, but as placid as he had been ten minutes previous. Molly was frightened, and insisted that he should be summarily dismissed from his post; but I had already begun to regard him as a curious subject for investic:a- tion, and he lived on, unknowing that the scissors of Atropos vvere daily dawd¬ ling with his destiny. Unknowing, did 1 say? Of that I am not so certain : for from that evening he appeared lo take a sudden dislike (o Molly, and commenced following me like a dog to and from my office, where he would stay all day, seated on the dusty sofa, apparently in an atti tude of observation, purring a little now and then, but generally too deeply in¬ terested in the composition of my pre- seriptiiuis to trouble himself wiih musi¬ cal performances. So went on the world for months with Manx and me, he doing double duly as cat and dog, having his singular attacks occasionally, and rushing round the room in a circle, and eating pickles and drinking brandy-and water with the appreciative sip of a professional expert.
I was often tempted to kill him, and oftener tempted to experiment with his peculiar electrical properties; but recol lecting the tendency to sleepiness induced by coming within his atmosphere during the incubation of theatiack, I dreaded to attempt the experiment alone in my of¬ fice—and dieaded it the more the more I thought of it. And I tried the efft^ct of sitting and looking fixedly into his great yellow eyes, the uncanny orbs never winc¬ ing for an instant, although the pupils appeared to dilate more and more as the test went on, until they were great mag- ne:ic balls, that caused me to shudder, and then grew so drowsy .hat I should have dropped to sleep had I not forced myself, with a strong effort of will, to get up and walk about. Tiie spell broken Manx started wi h a sudden spasm, rush ed twice around the room like a mad creature, and curled himself down on the sofa, where he lay in kind of coma for the lest of the afternoon ; and it must have been about 3 o'clock when iheexper iment commenced.
Af.er lhat I tried to poison Manx, but he seemed to know and avoid deadly drugs by insinci, however masked as tidbits; and finally I carried my revolver to thc office, with the intention of shoot- iu'.? him in the course of the aficrnoon. But Manx kepi away from the otiice for several days, until my terror wore off, and I carried my revolver back to the house; and the very next morning he came purring as usual, and seated him self tantaliziu^ly o i the sofa. I «»fftfred him some brandy aud-water and he sipped it like a gentleman at his club; then a pipe of Honradez. and he sat and pufffd away with it like an old smoker.
"Curse the cat I'I hissed, under my breath. "He's either an Egyptian or a jev—" but something in the creature's eyes stopped me ou the very tip of the syllable, a sndden tt tme enveloped him, and bedashed thi ice around the room, and shot through the window, taking a pane of gl.iss wilh him. After this he got better, and was not troubled wi'h spasms for some months, until Molly and I, thinking; he had recovered from his malady, began to be very fond of him and Aggie tried to call him Manx, and only got so far as to call him Ma aa. with the a still flatter than my mother's a in dangerous.
Agnes was a liltle pearl of a baby, with all the sunshine of her moiher, that made June weather wherever she went; and two years—what with my toiling after the x of my life equation, and my basking in the sunshine of Juue wejither at the homestead—passed as rap idly that I scarcely couuted their foot- steps of days; two sweet, dreamy and unreal, with a kind of mystery in it: two feather-foo ed years with many a hard typhoid to battle with, and many a a troublesome set of nerves to dose with asafoetida; and li'.tle Sunbeam—thai's what I called her—had learned to say papa, and the trundle-bed was brought into requisition, having long waited in the all ic for a c ustomer. ll was a jireat day at the homesterd when the trundle- bed went dowu, and Aggie toddled into it a dozeu times in the course of the afternoon, with the idea that she was going to set up house keeping for herself
and have Manx huzzy—which, by the way, means husband in the fairy-land where Molly and Aggie and I lived in those days. And Manx was as fascinated with the trundle bed as she was. for had he not occupied it for two years up in the attic, and are the habits of a lifetime to be broken up in a day ?
Lo.^t litile Sunshine! On the fourth morning MoUie lifted her from the trun¬ dle-bed w ith a grief that, was heavier than a d«^zen li:tle Acrneses, and the sex¬ ton dug an everlasting trundle-bed for the li tie darling in the old graveyard un der the hill I
I was never myself after that. I have been addicted to the whimsical ever since and the x has wasted and wasted in value until it is nearly zero. For years my sleep was only drowse, and a voice call¬ ing "P.ipa! papa!" would wake rae up ni^'ht after niglit, Somelimes I would lie and listen nntil I drowsed again; sometimes I would get up and dress my self and walkout, the voice still calling to me out of the night, until I stood in the moonlight by little Sunbeam's grave, when the voice would stop calling, and it would be as if I waked up out of a dream, and was myself again.
Little Sunbeam was dead. The family consisted of Molly and myself and Manx, and the trundle-bed went up-garret again, to wait for another customer, and Manx was its only occupant. The world settled into its old way by-and by ; only I always went ab<')ut with a strange sense of hav¬ ing lost something, and seemed to myself to be hunting to and fro for something I could not find ; and Molly contracted a habit of going to the door and looking out every few minutes, then shutting the door softly and going back to her work.
Days were woven into months and months were folded up in cuts of years and stored away in the great warehouse of the past—a vast receiving tomb, never filled but always in receipt of a cadaver, to be labeled and numbered and tucked away in some one of the innumerable pigeon holes with which the wareho-use abounds. There are coffins there and dead loves and ambitions that once were fierce and souls that raight haye been beauiiful, which st**al out of the ware house of a n ight and appear to their form¬ er posses.sors in dreams. There are iry old doctors and many doctors' prescrip¬ tions to be shaken in the faces of those who wrote them at the day of reckoning, when doctors will be answerable for their pre.scriptions. The o 1 doctor, who is just ready for the warehouse, has a dozen or a hundred of them pi^ieon holed in that same institution, whose clerk, they say, never forgets anything, all registered and ticke'eil for the day of reckoning,
I beg pirdon for dawdling over details, but I (ILslike to continue the story, with its episodes of nothing but .sadness.
Montlis were folded into yars. and at last little Willie came, and my sense of having lost something died out in play¬ ing with the baby, and the voice in my dreams s opped calling "Papal" as regu¬ larly as it had before.
I meant that boy from the first for a doctor, by way of coniinning ihe family hunt after the x. which I never seemed to find; and. as for Molly, the sunshine came iuto her face again, though there was always a sadness in her eyes; and she stopped going to the door and look¬ ing out—indeed, was her old self once more. I was still a little whimsicil. and sometimes I could not help hearing little Sunbeam's voice calling "P.ipa! papa! papa!" over and over outof the night, liaindrops, particularly, had a peculiar effect on me, and 1 would have strange fancies—
When tlie wind and rain l<epttapping tlie pane, Witli fltlul fingers kept tapping tlie pane. Kept tapping again and again and again—
as some dreamer of a poet, who has really listened to rain drops and caught their gusty rhythm, expresses their pattering a.;ainst the window. Then I would think of H gr iss grown grave out in the rain, and hear a baby vi.ice calling 'Papa!" oui there in the rain ; and then 1 would fancy I heard baby feet pattering on the door stone, and get up and open ihe door, to find, that there was nothing there. Ah, me! the links that bind to ihe dead are often stronger than the links tiial bind to the living.
[concluded on second p.vge.] A Famous Buttle-Gronnd.
On the banks of the Tippecanoe, a small s:ream which enters the Wabash Iliver in Indiana, was fought the terrific baitle of Tippecanoe.
In this great strug.le of frontier times, the allied western Indians under the chieftainship of Elskwatawa, the "Pro¬ phet" were defeated in November, 1811. by the Americans uuder the command of Gen. Wm. II. Harrison.
It was a desperate, hard-fought battle, and mueh depended upon the result.
Hid the Indians been successful, all barriers of defence for the early setilers would  have   been   overthrown   and  the deadly tomahawk would have been active in the rapid extermination of the remain ing pioneers.   On the other hand the for innate termination of the contest fiut an end to further attempts at open warfare by the Indians.   The rich territory, so long  overrun   by   hostile  savages,  was thrown open for settlement, which rapid ly occurred as soou as the news of the great victory became widespread.
Naturally great praise was rendered to the success and intrepid bravery of Gen. Harrison and he was honored in many
ways. He afterwards served as Com¬ mander of the Army of the Northwest, and when Indiana was admitted to state¬ hood, he was selected to represent the state in the United States Senate. In 1840 he was elected President and his un¬ fortunate demise occurred shortly after being inaugurated.
The forty second anniversary of the Hattie of Tippecanoe found the gallant grand-son of "Old Tip" leading his forces to a great political victory whicii resulied in the selection of Gen. Ben. Harrison as President of the Uni.ed Stntes.
The Harrisons have b^en a hardy race of men. ppiuiig from old log cabirt stock, which is sufficient guarantee of i's gen¬ uineness wherever found. Realizing the truth of this great effort has beeu made to rediscover some of the secrets con¬ tained in fhe old log cabin stock of use¬ ful articles, and as the resul , the famous Old Log Cabin Sarsapariila, universally reg'irded as the best Spring tonic and blood cleanser has been fonnd. Not satisfied with the -world wide esteem which is held for Warner's Safe (3ure, the only cure for kidney diseases, the proprietor is willing to do all that is pos¬ sible to establish Warner's Log Cabin Sarsapariila as foremost among house¬ hold articles on account of its purity aud effectiv^-ness.
After all, each individual has, at all times the great battle of life or death to fight, and for security attention must ne¬ cessarily be given to the best weapons which science can offer humanity in the great contest.
