Mr. John Keuibio had taken much wine, and when the party broke up, Mr. Mathews determined to accompany the tragodian to hit own door. Giv ing him his arm, therefore, they proceeded slow ly to Mr. Terable’t house in Great Rttssslt-stroet, Bloomsbury.

At length Uic tray was brought in with wiuo, urine anJ water, dec., and with it entered anetaonnons cat decorated with a redl collar and a bell. The appearance of his favorite cat called forth it* masters’* most affectionate notice, and many relations of its ex- ' r tnordiiuuy powers of understanding, its devot ed attachment to ita master's person.
