ties as to rise in hubbies. It is highly probable that n-
ther ingredients, which are in smaller quantities, will
be found, on analysis boing made at thu Spring, ns the
quantity of water brought away did not permit of as
minute an examination, as is 1 necessary to determine
whether other ingredients are n n also held in solution.
Those physicians to whom tins analysis lias been sub
mitted have given it as their opinion, that these waters
will prove especially beneficial in Dyspeptic cases, as
well as other diseases. It is also highly probable
from some experiments which have been made that
those waters may be alternated with I hose of the F.ed

A Chapter on Cats.
I met with a goad article the other day in a
native magazine, on the subject of whiskers—a
pilosus and prolific theme. Talking of whiskers
reminds me of cats. The transition is natnial.
Feline quadrupeds are justly celebrated for their
claims to admiration in respect to whiskers. In
the formation of his mandibular appendages, Na
ture has been generous with the cat. Not only do
they stand out from his Jace like the elongated
mustachoes of old Shalt Abbas of 1‘ersin, but
there is within then; a sleepless spirit,—a shrewd
and far-reaching sense, which puts to shame the
similar oruameuts^nn the faces of bipeds of the
genus homo. They, indeed, can make their whis
kers look well, by baptizing them with cuti tie
Cologne, and Rowland’s Macassar Oil, or, per-
ndventute, the unctuous matter won from the
“ tried reins” of defunct bears,—but where is the
intelligence, the discernmeut, of their rivals !
The whiskers of a cat are truly sparse and un
seemly ; but their qualities of observation and
apprehension furnish an ample recompense fur
the absence of beauty. How many a heedless rat
or truant mouse ha3 paid the forfeit of his life by
those all-scenting properties which are concen
trated itt the whiskers ol a feline hunter! llow
have their little ribs cracked between the jaws of
some notorious tabby, and their long tails lashed
her head in tlie agonies of dissolution ! This,
however, is a painful subject, and I perceive that
in treating it 1 am falling into tlie sentimental.
Talking of sentiment, as connected with cals,
reminds nte of an epoch in my life, over which
the shadows ol unpleasant fate hang like the
clouds in an evening firmament, and turn tlie past
into darkness. Shall 1 rend away the veil,j as
your crack novelist would say, and harrow up my
of the town. Hcing noaccDinplished in these :
fashionable amusements, and wilhal rather addict- |
ed to reading and mental improvement, my asso- I
dates were limited, fur I found few .spirits either j
choice or congenial.
Finally, a lucky chance favored «iy desires. I ,
saw Miss Florence one evening at die theatre, j
with her brother. Just at the close oldie first,
play, it came on to rain. I ascertained by acci
dent that the Dillons were without an umbrel’i. |
1 knew they had a vorv short distance lo go, and ;
theretore would not lie likely to call a coach. I [
immediately rushed home and procured my own j
umbrella, and one in addition. When I relumed, !
the green curtain had dropped, and they were in
the lobby on the point of departure. The show
er was then at its height. It was one of those
nights when play-bill boards arc dripping, ivlion
pedestrians, swift in locomotion, are seen in long
perspective along (he streets, with their umbrellas
shining in the lamp-light; a doleful night, espe
cially at the theatre.
' sta'lked abroad,
Urging the wolf to tear the butlalo.
The death of one of these noisy belligerents being
determined on, 1 looked round my room, for tha
tools of retribution.. Not a moveable thing, how
ever, could I discover save a new pitcher, which
hud been sent home on that very day, and (o which
my name and address were appended on a bit of
card. I clutched it with desperate fury, and pour
ing into my bowl the water contained in it, I poi-
>cd it in my hand for tho deadly heave; I twil

trade between this and Augusta, and one just launch

the Tnyalo, the Augusta, the Savannah, and the Geor

aches with tho melancholy retrospection ? Pe
rish the idea! No—no : prepared as I am to go
all lengths along the fence xvhiuh divides me from
the (ioiniuioti of memory, yet when I look at that
length, 1 leel as though I could not “ go it!”—
Jiut—yes—no matter—the warning of my exam
ple may be serviceable to some reader, who may
happen hereafter to he “ situated, and I may say
circumstanced,” as I was.
1 am a respectable young bachelor, with a cour
teous address, a musical taste, some acquain
tance with letters, and a too susceptible heart. In
choosing my where-ubouts io this good cily of
brotherly love, where 1 arrived a few years ngo
from the country, to hang out my tin sign of “ At
torney,” &c., 1 sought for such lodgings as would
be couveuioot lo the office, where I wrote my
briefs, and touk in iny clients. Acting on this
principle, I made my conjee one bright May mor
ning to a landlady in Chcsntit slreet, of whose
table and apartments 1 had heard the best “ ex
clamation.” She was a short, pursy woman, with
a long neck, a lawn cap on her head, and a most
respectful demeanor. The cap was thin, and tho
gray hair was very perceptible under the same:
but on her forehead were parted two raven waves—
“ the dowry of some second head,
The skull that bred them in the sepulchre.”
Pleased with her smile, for it was benevolence it
self, 1 asked her if she could furnish me with a
small parlor and bed room adjacent! Her reply
showed that her benevolence did not extend to
her native longue, which she grossly maltreated
in divers hostile expressions, then and there used
on the premises. She responded that “ the par
lors was all look, but one in tho third} story, wall
a bed-room contagious, for whic h 1 would be tax
ed live dollars and three Icvys a week.” I repli
ed that I did not wish to he taxed with apart
ments subject to levies, that the properly of which
1 desired to stand seized as tenant, ought to be
unincumbered, and beyond the discomfort of any
pecuniary lien or claim. 1 was soon eased on this
point hy an affirmation, on tlie part of the respon
dent, that a levy was a coin ; corresponding, as 1
afterwards learned hy some inquiries, to a New-
York shilling.
A few moment's conversation in the parlor, in
to which I was invited, finished the business. I
took the lodgings, and with pleased alacrity en
sconced myself therein. Kvery thing went on
much to my satisfaction. The victuals and drink
were praiseworthy, the lodgers few, principally
hoarding-school misses beyond a cerlaiu age, learn
ing the then latest music, such as “The Minstrel's
Return from the War," “Whenmy Kye,” “ Come
where the aspens quiver," “ Lightly Tread,"
et cetera. With these airs, accompanying them
selves on a broken-winded piano, a chattel of the
establishment, did they diurnally bore my ears.
I soon btreame perfectly domiciliated. Tho
ladies grew more and morn communicative; and
il was sadly pleasing to see the pensive manner
in which they would llirt their fans when we all
sal by the windows at nightfall in the great parlor
below, which commanded a broad view ol the
street. Sometimes on ;hese occasions, when in
a reverie, 1 used to hum some familiar air; and
(his once led une of the oldest ladies, whose edu-
calion had just been finished by the greatest in
structress in the city, to remark that " she was
sure 1 could sing lovely, il I should Iry ; hut that
she believed I did'rit want to let on.” I did not
at first comprehend this phraseology of the fair
scholar, and it remains until ibis day wjlh me, a
mystery undefined. Il is understandable, b'ut not
explainable. I made an answer to tlie remark,
that was apposite enough not to expose iny igno
rance of the lady’s meaning ; lor it is well to
stand high in the estimation of those who are com -
pleted in “ composition, drawing, geography, and
the use of the globes.”
I did not, however, bless the parlour with much
of my presence. The one which had been as
signed to me was a perfect gem of ntt apartment.
Kvery thing in it was neat ; and 1 look no small
delight io hanging it with paintings and pictures.
It looked directly into Cliesnut-sireet, our Phila
delphia Broadway, and l was wont to sit by the
casement in the summer twilight, listening to the
negligent footfalls of the promenaders, who strol
led abroad on the thousand errands and purposes
of business or pleasure Directly to the east, a
door opened into my bed-room, the contagious
apartment of which my landlady had spoken.-—
Here the windows looked into a garden, tbe pro
perty of the next resident on the sited. And a
fine garden it was. Flowers of every hue, the
first and fairest of the year, were glowing along
the walks in red, golden, aud purple luxuriance.
The verdant and ductile vines gadded over taste
ful trellices, aud the breath of growing thiugs
floated np to my casement like incense.
Perhaps the reader may desire to know what
j this has lo do with the subject of cafs / You
J shall see anon. The facts are extant, and must
I not remain unwritten.
I I soon found my bed-room contagious, sure
enough. 1 could not study for the fair Dulcinea
! across the garden. Kven at night we used io look
| at each other. It was a kind nf indistinct, moon-
| shiny speculation, it is true, but it had its rap-
! turcs.
My inquiries respecting the damsel were of the
most satisfactory kind. Her name was Florence
Dillon. Bho was just seventeen,—-amiable, and
accounted rich, but for the latter consideration I
cared not a rush when connected with her. It
was a source of unbounded perplexity lo mu how
I should manage lo make her acquaintance. 1
consulted with few of those young men, wear
ing bushy whiskers, while inexpressibles, vacant
countenances, xnd email canes, with which Phila
delphia abounds; fur I had never fancied their
amusements of riding to the Lamb Tavern for a
julep, fighting durg-hill fowls on tha Bchuylkill,
or playing at fare iu the obicurc dens end alleys
“ When tender Beauty, looking for her coach,
Protrudes her glovelexs band, perceives tlie shower,
Aud draws the tippet closer round her throat ;
Perchance her couch stands half a dozen olf,
And ere she mounts the step, the oozing mud
Soaks through her pale kid slipper. On the morrow
She coughs ut breakfast, and her gruli'papa
Cries, ‘there you go ! this comes of play-housos!’ "
Determined to he gallant, yet coloring a little
at my boldness, 1 took the liberty of ofi’ering my
umbrella to ihc gentleman, giving him at the same
time sumo information respecting its necessity on
account of the weather. My impression is, that
my manner was agreeable, for Miss Dillon survey
ed me with a very affectionate recognition; and
her soft blue eyes shaded by rich brown hair, part
ed on her beaming brow were filled with what
Thomson would call “ lively gratitude.”
I called the next evening at Dillon’s, per pro
mise, for my umbrella. 1 found the family quite
agreeable. The mother was delighted to hear me ]
praise her favorite minister, after I found out who
he was; and the father was what is now-a days
lied “ a gentleman of the old school,’’ namely
one whose education has been wofully neglected,
but whose assaults upon the vernacular are over
looked ou account of his good nature, good din
ners and good tvine.
Thenceforth 1 was a faithful visitor two or three
times a week. I grew desperately enamored—my
passion was returned: I was a happy youth—I
walked among the stars. 1 bent my soul to dis
tinction iu my calling, and resolved to merit my
mistress before I won her, or to amass, in Ihe
words of Diggory’s adviser in the play, “summat
lo make (he matrimonial pal boil.
The charming Florence was amiability itself. 1
found her affections wore so exuberant, that she
bestowed them upon every tiling within the magic
circle of her presence—even upon animals. Among
the objects ol her esteem was a cat—a beautiful, tor
toise-shell creature, I confessed, hut deserving the
objection which the house maid preferred against
her, of “ having never had no broughtage up.”—
She had bocn Alias Dillon’s companion from her
childish years, and had grown to graceful and dig
nified maturity under her fostering hand. I will
not deny that I respected the old tabby for her
sake. \Ve used to discuss tier merits often. 1
little thought the venerable quadruped would
blight my hopes, and precipitate all my wo.
Florence and tnysolf were soon accounted enga-
ed. We used to walk arm & arm in tho slreet, toiet
tlie gossips know that such was the fact. T plun
ged like a gladiator into the law ; 1 was a favorite
at Court; and my causes and fees iu hand aud in
prospect were neither few nor small.
I am suhjocl in summer, lo restlessness. Thick
coming fancies mar my rest, and my ear is pecu
liarly sensitive to the least inappropriate sound.
One sultry evening in July I returned home later
than usual, from an arbitration wherein 1 lost a
cause on which I lied counted certainly lo win. i
suspect 1 boicd tii e arbitrators with too long u
plea, and too voluminous quotations of precedents;
lor, when I finished, two were asleep, and most of
the others yawning. They decided against my
client, and 1 came home mm) wilh chagrin, and
crept into bed, longing for speedy obliviou in the
arms of sleep.
But that calm sister of death would not be won
to my embrace. I lay tossing for a long time in
“ restless ecstacy,” until vexed and over-wearied
nature at Irst sunk lo repose. I could not have
slumbered over ten minutes, before 1 was awaken
ed by the most outrageous caterwauling that ever
stung the human ear. I arose in a fury, and look
ed out of the window. All was still. The cause
lor outcry appeared to have ceased. Now and
then there was a low, guttural wail, between a
suppressed grunt and squeal: hut it was so faint
that nothing could have lived ’iwixt that and si
lence. Alter a listening probation of a lew mi
nutes I slunk back into my sheets.
I had scarcely dozed a quarter of an hour when
the obnoxious vociferations arose again. They
were fierce, ill-natured, and shrill. 1 arose again
vexed beyond endurance. All was quiet in a mo
ment. 1 am not given to profanity—1 deem it
foolish and wicked ; but on this occasion, after
stretching my body like a sheeted ghost, half out
of the window, and gazing into tlie shadows of
of the garden to discover Ihe object of my annoy
ance, I exclaimed in a loud and spileful voice which
expressed my concentrated hale Curse thul
cal!”
“ Young gentleman,” said a passing guardian
of (he Right ftotn tlie slreet,—“you had better
pop your head in, and stop your noise. If you
" I-lell-ye."
don't, you will rue it—-mind
"Look here, old Charley,” said I, in return
“ don’t be impertinent. It Is your business lo
preserve the peace and to obviate every evil that
looks disgrncious in the city’s eye. You guard
(he slumbers of her citizens ; and if you expect a
dollar from me at Christmas, for the poetry in
your next annual address, you will peiform what I
now request, and what it is your solemn and houn-
den duty to do. Spring your rattle, comprehend
thal vagrom car, and take her to the watch-house,
1 will appear as plaintiff against the quadruped,
before die mayor in tlie morning, llcr habits are
scandalous.”
“ Ob, pshaw !" said the watchman, and went
clattering up the street, singing “ N’hav pa a st
dwelve o’glock, and a glowdee morn."
I reverted to my pillow, and fell into a train of
conjecture touching the grimalkin. Possibly il
ndglit be die darling old friend of Miss Dillon. Then
I thought of others—then 1 slept.
1 cannot declare to a stcotid bow long my fitful
slumber lasicd, before 1 was startled from my bed
by a yell which proceeded apparently from a cat
in my room. 1 had just been dreaming of a gieat
mouser with ears like a jackass and claws armed
wilh long pickers and stingers,” silling on my bo
som, and sucking away my breath. I sprang at
once into the middle of the room. 1 searched e-
very where....nothing was in die apartment....
Then there rushed towards tlie zenith one univer
sal cat-shriek, which went echoing oil’ on die
night-wind like die reverberation ol a sharp thunder
peal.
Aly blocd was now up for vengeance. One hun
gry and fiery wish to destroy dial diabolical eat
erwauler, took possession of my suul. At that
instant the cluck struck one. ft was the death
knell of the feline vocalist. I looked out of the
window, and in the light nf a stray lo'. of tiuion-
shine streaming through the tall chimneys to tho
south-east, I saw Miss Dillon's romantic favorite,
alternately cooing and fighting with u largo mouser
of the neighborhood, that I had seen for teveral
afternoons previous walking leisurely along the
garden wall, as if absorbed in deep meditation,
nml forming some liberlino resolve. Jo line, iliey
each seemed saturate with the spirit of the Gnome
kiug.Umbriel, mthc drains, when lie
tlie pt'iweiples of a clever throw were familiar to
me. I resolved to make the vessel describe what
's called in philosophy a parabolic curve, so that
while it Knocked out the brains of one combatant,
it should effectually admonish the sutvivor of lfW
iniquity ol his do’rags, I approached the window
....balanced the pitcL-> r atK | (hen drave it home-
Its reception was acknowledged by a lond, chok
ing squall....a faint yell of agony, and then a re-
spee'ful silence. Satisfied that my pitcher had
been broken at the fountain of life, and that th«
silent tabby would not soon tune her pipes again,
I retired to bed, and slept wilh the serenity and
comfort of one who is conscious of having per
formed a virtuous action.
In the morning, the cat was found ” keeled up"
on a bed of pinks, with her head broken in, and
her ancient and venerable whiskers dabbled in
blood. The shattered pitcher lay by her side.
The vessel had done its worst—so had my vic
tim. The body was taken off early in ihe forenoon
and decently interred by the gardener, who said to
tlie chamber maid in my hearing, that “ Miss Flo
rence must n’t by not no means wbatsomever coma
for to know that the old Fuss had gone the voy-
nge.” Stupid hind ! lie neither knew the cause
ol the animals death, nor the impossibility of ila
concealment.
Sorrow is always communicative. Hetty had
scarcely made the beds in tho mansion, before she
Iiied to Aliss Florence's apartment, and related to
her the doleful demise of her spotted companion.
They forthwith descended together into the gar
den ; reconnoitered the spot where the poer thing
breathed her last, and found my broken pitcher
wilh the card attached, on the ve;y theatre of des
truction.
Suspicion was aroused. I was the object.—
Circumstantial evidence xvas clear against me.—
When I went home to dinner, I found a note front
Florence, accusing me of the murder. I could
have turued states' evidence, and poured the tide
of obloquy upon the vile paramour of the deceased
—but I scorned all subterluge. 1 answered the
viote immediately, acknowledging that, io a mo
ment of bewilderment, drowsiness, and passion, I
perpetrated tho deed, and throwing myself upon
her generosity for pardon.
But it was in vain. I bad made a wrong throw.
Another angry note reached me at supper. This
1 was determined to answer in person, and called,
as soon ns tea was over, in a slate of profuse per
spiration, tn effect that object.
I found Miss Dillon perfectly furious. Her fair
face was red with indignation ; consuming fires
flashed from her eyes—llioso orbs which 1 had
praised so often, and which were wont to exhibit
only thu light of “ generous meanings.” Shein-
exorably refused all attempts at an apology. She
gave me back my miniature and ring—and protest
ed that 1 might spare myself any further concern
on her account. She was deeply-read In ele-
ni.culury school-books, and she quoted copiously
from a didactic piece in one of them, I think tha
American Frcceptor—“ On Cruelly to Animals,”
in which it is conclusively shown that the man
who would harm, "a necessary cat,” would nut
scruple to irent his father like a pickpocket, liis
wife like a fisherwomnn, and his children Irka
puppies. She repeated that sho had done with
me, and signified a hope that 1 would take the re
mark for her ultimatum.
Just after supper, of a July evening, a young
man does not feel cool enough lo pocket tho
slightest contumely. I arose with great dignity,
and told Aliss Dillon, that I had no desire to press
my suit—that if she demurred, I wits ready to
confess the judgment, and how to the same. I
observed that from the specimens of her tempera
ment that had just then fallen under my notice, I
could have little regret in sundering a chain
which had altered so soon from silk to iron—<
Memory began to disturb my feelings, and the
thought of what I was about to lose, made my
voice womanish ; so 1 cocked my bar on fierce
ly, bowed politely, and walked rapidly out of tho
apartment with the tread of a sullen stage hero,
who mutters in soliloquy, and ” dialogues with his
shadow.”
Since that period, I have been, in the main, a
melancholy man. I am pale and cynical. Tho
"opposite sex,” as Airs. Trollope calls them,
charm me not as ofyoro. I am a waif upon tho
community, wherein none lake an interest. 1 lov
ed Florence Dillon, as I shall never love again;
and thecrtuse of our disunion,—a nullifying cat,—
has given me a sovereign antipathy lo all the race.
1 have no ill will against young kittens, with their
tender voices and affectionate eyes; and I can
contemjrlate even an old cat in the virtuous retire
ment of ihe country, purring drowsily by a win
ter’s fire, with some complacency. Then, the te
nor of her lile is equable and Innocent. She is
mil subject to be led away after fantastical de
lights,--she goeth not into temptation. But your
city grimaikin3 have no moral character. Their
habits are loose,—their clamors unceasing. Ro
mantic appointments by night, and household
pilferings hy day, make up their existence; and
the only time (hey are harmless, is in those fitful
moments when
“ their little life
Is rounded with a sleep.”
They fight and bustle like those celebrated Kil
kenny combatants, which ate each other up in
such wise that not the tail-end of either remained
for token of victory " that died and left no sign.”
They creep into cradles, and feed upon the fra
grant breath of young children ; and a fatal in
stance ol this kind was recorded in our newspa
pers only a few months ago. If well used they
grow familiar, and strew your garments withabe-
q nest of hairs; if you maltreat them, or despite-
fully use them, they will waste the uightwatches
In mewing to keep you awake.
It is well to evoke consolation even from trou-
I Is. 1 know some good jokes of cats, which 1 carl
enjoy, even though I know iny Florence is tho
wile of a stupid old bachelor,—an “eligiblo
match,”....a man with his bruins in his purse, and
his attainments in his breeches pocket....In brief,
a donghliead of the heaviest description. Yes!
thank old Time, 1 am better than 1 was when I was
so love-sick. A good story pleases me of late, as
it did in my better days. Here is one whichy
excited my cachinnations. 1 will vouch for its
truth :
An anonymous wag not long ago placed an ad*
vert’sement in each of our city Journals, signed
by an eminent hoitsoam the Delaware wharf, and
slating that Five Hundiiek Cats were wanted
immediately by the firm. Tbe said firm in the
mean time knew nothing of the matter.
On visiting their counting house the next morn
ing, tlie partners found the street literally blocked
tip with enterprising cat-sellers. Huge negroes
weru there, each with tan or fifteen sage, grave
tabbies, tied together with a string. Old marks)
women had brought thither whole fumihea of the
feline genus, from the superunuated Tom to the
blind kitten. The air resounded with the sq
isqual
lings of the quadrupedal multitude. New
ders, With their noisy propeity, were seen throi
ing lo the place front every avenue.
, •• What’ll you guv we for this 'are b»tt” said
i mil shad-woman, pressing up towards the eouel
; mg room. " Tho newepupert say you allow lib
eral prices. I axe* a dolls/ • piers lor the old
'Slit, and fire levye for the kittens.”
