COLUMBUS SUNDAY ENQUIRER: SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 10, 1877.
[For the Sunday Bnauirer.]
CATAKEL-KATABEL- DOGOEBBL
There *u • ret who learned to read, and had a
thoughtful mind,
To science and philosophy hie tastes were all in
clined ;
For novels, news and politics—alike he thought
them vain;
He scorned all Brooklyn scandals, Josh Billings
and Mark Twain.
And e'en the last dispatches from the bloody fields
of war
To him wen dull and stupid, as the jokes on
mother-in-law.
The books he took delight in were written by wise
men, sir,
For Darwin was his favorite, and next was Her
bert Spencer;
Of these he read, on these he thought, and pon
dered o’er the mystery
Of the struggle for existence in the realms of Nat
ural History;
How hoofs and claws, and wings and tails by use
are slowly gained—
Races preying on each other, till a balance is
maintained;
The survival of the fittest,and since first the world
began,
The gradual development of monad, monkey, man.
H# pondered deep, he reasoned well, and then he
plainly saw
That rats and mice are rats and mice, but by this
simple law, ^
'Tie the cats that prey upon them, from youth to
hoary age.
That have checked their onward progress on the
rat-and-mousey stage;
And could the cats be rid o", again their race
might grow—
As the avalanche develops from the rolling ball of
snow.
So he called a Grand Convention of the rats and
’ ofthomioe,
And, having them assembled, thus he gave them
his advice:
“Come hither, all ye mice and rats,
Who spend your lives in fear of cats,
And listen to a plan I’ve got
By which we may exalt our lot.
Just let us get a little bell
And tie it round each cat’s neck well.
Then we can hear them when thoy’re coming,
And rnn into our boles a humming.
Then when cats can’t catch rats to eat,
They’ll soon find out that grass is sweet.
When they eat grass they’ll lose their claws,
And hoofs will grow out on their paws;
Their canine teeth will soon drop out,
And in their place incisors sprout,
And when they’ve eaten it a heap,
They all will turn to little sheep.
Then no more cats will be so nice
For all us little rats and mice;
For, as is well known to you all,
It’s living in holes that keeps us small.
But then we all may take our ease,
And live about Just where we please;
And, ’tia as plain as any figger,
We all will grow a great deal bigger.
In fact, I think there is no'renson
We may not grow a foot each season.
Thus fast acquiring;size and strength,
We’ll eat those mutton-cats at length;
And living but on blood and brains,
As lions do, we’ll all have manes,'
And grow so fierce and carni-vecr-ous
That even men themselves will fear us.
For if, in spite of all the cats,
There are so. many mice and rats,]
’Tis plain we are well fitted for
Great Nature’s internecine war;
And may, if once we turn the scales,
Develop to the size of whales,
go do not doubt me by a look,
For all is proved by Darwin’s book.
It only needs to bell the cats—
The rest will follow—bet your hats !”
Then rose an old grandfather rat, who’d listened
with attention,
“Let unanimous approval be the sense of this con
vention.
Heaven bless our fellow-rcdent, who, with super
rat ambition,
Has solved the problem bow we may exalt our
low condition,
And circumvent the feline race, and make it come
to pass
That, like Nebuchadnezzer, they shall all be sent
to grass.
gore our children in hit honor many monuments
shall raise,
And onr sculptors scnlp his image, and our poets
sing his praise.
And children shall be named for him, like sands
along the seas—
More numerous than George Washingtons, and
likewise Robert Lees.
Meanwhile the highest glory that a mortal rat can
ask,
Toput the bells upon tho cats shall bo his valiant
task.’’
Then the learned rat looked thoughtful, but a
wild hurrah arose
To ratify this pleasant scheme of vengeance on
their foes;
When, midst their loud rejoicings, alas it must be
told,
A cat sprang in upon them, like a wolf upon the
fold.
Fast for their holes they scampered, but ah I she
was too quick;
She lit upon that learned rat like many an hun
dred brick.
Oh, fsarfnlest catastrophe 1 oh, fatal turn of luck!
His fate was as the Juney-bug’s, o’ertaken by the
. duck.
Then the hall was deserted, in the twinkling of
an eye,
And the rat and mouse convention stood adjourn
ed “sine die.”
A Keen Sense of Duty.
Of all the qualities which constitute
the higher human nature there are few
more powerful or more exemplary than a
keen sense of duty. Unlike some of those
virtues which are almost selfish and iso
lated in their character, duty is composed
of so many moral elements as to appear
an epitome of all that is noble and good.
A man impressed with a high idea of du
ty, and who acts np to his convictions,
possesses a catalogue of excellencies such
as is comprised in no other special vir
tue. Duty signifies a love of the public
good in preference to private considera
tions; its follower must therefore be dis
interested and unselfish. Duty implies
the carrying out of views and decisions
often unpopular and opposed to the gen
eral feeling; its follower must therefore
possess courage and determination in no
ordinary degree. Datv scorns evasion
deception and underhand measures; its
true follower must then of necessity be
honorable, truthful and single minded.
Honesty of purpose, fidelity,self-control,
industry, a sound morality, a strict sense
of justioe, yet tempered with mercy,
should all be discerned in the lover of
<3nty. Religion is but duty. Our duty
towards the 'Supreme Being is the first
oommand; in our duty towards our neigh*
bor lies the second. “Duty,” writes a
modern author, “is the cement whioh
hinds the whole moral edifice together;
without which all power, goodness, intel
lect, truth, happiness, love itself, can
have no permanence, but all the, fabric
of existence crumbles away from under
ns, end leaves us at last sitting in the
midst of e rain, astonished at our own
desolation. L Temple Bar.
“Do yon very much like to have me
kiss you, George,” she said, softly, stoop
ing over him and leaving the monogram
of her lips on his marble brow. “I do,
indeed, dear,” he said. “I just shut my
eyes, and try to think that I feel the
touch of one who was dear to me in the
days long gone by—before yon and I
were married.” He had hardly fining
that remark before he exohumed: “O,
don't! don’t do that!” as a large copy of
the New Testament hit him suddenly
three or four times on the spot where he
Nad been kissed

“Wonldn’t.”
She wouldn’t have on her naughty bib;
She wouldn't get into her naughty crib;
She wouldn’t do this, and she wouldn’t
do that;
And she would put her foot in her Son-
day bat.
She wouldn’t look over her picture book;
She wouldn’t rnn out and help the cook;
She wouldn’t be petted, or coaxed, or
teased,
And she wonld do exactly whatever she
pleased!
She wouldn’t have naughty rice to eat;
She wouldn’t be gentle, and good, and
sweet;
She wouldn’t give me one single kiss—
Pray what coaid we do with a girl like
this?
A Change for the Better.
No one can read the controversial wri
tings of Luther, Calvin, and some others
of the Reformers, and their followers of
the succeeding ages, without being
shocked at the coarse and abusive epi
thets which they used towards their op
ponents. The Southern Churchman well
says:
“No one would dare write a book or
article filled with the expletives and ad
jectives that pions people once used.
Cotton Mather has preserved a specimen
of invective against the celebrated Dr.
Owen by a primitive Quaker named Fos
ter. One dislikes to oopy snoh language;
but, as it teaches a useful lesson, here it
is: ‘Thou fiery-fighter and green-headed
trumpeter; thou hedgehog and grinning
dog; thou bastard, that tumbled oat of
the mouth of the Babylonish bawd; thou
mole; thon tinker; thou lizard; thou bell
of no metal, bnt the tone of a. kettle ;
thou wheelbarrow; thou whirlpool; thon
whirligig. Oh, thou firebrand; thon adder
and scorpion; thon loose; thon cow dong;
thou moon-calf; thou ragged tatterdema
lion; thou Judas; thon livest in philoso
phy and logic which are of the devil.’
This language is not as chaste as we like;
and who is not glad we do not hear the
like of it in onr modern days? When,
for instance, onr more modern Baptist,
the distinguished Robert Hall, said of the
same Dr. Owen, ‘Sir, he is a donble
Dutchman, floundering in a continent of
mod,’ he wrote it not; he only said it, and
it is preserved among his odd sayings by
Mr. Greene in his Reminiscences. When
a modern like De Quinoey, for instance,
reviews the learned bat verbose Dr. Parr,
he is content to speak of “bis usual so
norous tympany of words.”
There were few more pions men in the
last centnry than the Rev. Augrstns Top*
lady; bnt being a Gaivanist, he could not
bear Mr. Wesley’s Aiminianism; so he
calls a tract of his against predestination,
‘the famous Moorfield’a powder, whoso
chief ingredients are an equal portion of
gross Heathenism, Pelagianism, Moham
med ism, Popery, Manichfeism, Panthe
ism, and Antinomianism, called,
and pulverized, and mingled with as
much palpable Atheism as yon «»*» scrape
together.’” -
Let ns be thankful onr moderns have
improved their style.

BT V. A. D.
The 0*dtniie keeper seemed asleep
In the blazing summer son,
To leave his herds to his watdh dog’s keep,
As the weary hoars rolled on;
Bat sleep was Car from his troubled eyes,
And his thoughts wore over the s?a,
In the Father's honse he had learned to prize,
On the hills of the Gadaree.
“I faintly see the far-off halls;
No swine herd's feet may tread!'
Ha! there they go with their maniac squalls,
From that lonely honse of the dead—
Nathan and Mark, old friends of mine;
How I loved, and love them still;
(’Twere aot well those men should come
ashore,
Or venture to thwart their will).
"Far down the track of time is set
Onr boyhood’s mingled ways,
That sunny morn we three fools met,
For onr life-long holidays.
Ah, mel for the hopes that then were rife.
For the years of Nevermore 1
We ara shipwrecked now, in all trio-life,
On this demon haunted shore,
“Magdalia’s tower of snowy grace,
So fair in the etting snn,
1 wonder if it still holds the fsce
For which we were all undone.
O haunting loveliness so rare!
We three went mad for her!
And now I share a swine-herd’s lair,
And they a sepulcher.
“Bnt what has come over Nathan now,
And Marcos, kneeling down?
Te friends?—the swine come over the brow—
They are madly rushing onl
0 friends] I’m as tired of this as yon.
My Lord, need I longer roam?”
But all of ns know from that story true
How the Prodigal Son came home.
A Day of Best.
Chatanbriand says that daring the time
of the Revolntion the peasants of France
were in the habit of saying: “Onr oxen
knows when Snnday comes, and will not
work on that day.” The ox cannot labor
nine successive days; at the end of the
sixth his lowing seems to demand the
hours marked by the Creator for the gen*
oral rest of nature. Bianconi, the Irish
oar proprietor, said that he coaid work a
horse eight miles a day six days in the
week, better than he coaid six miles a
day for seven days in the week. By not
working on Sundays he effected a saving
of twelve per cent. This is in unison
with the very remarkable testimony of
Dr. Fane before a committee of the
Honse of Commons. He said: “A pby-
sioian is anxious to preserve the balance
of circulation as necessary to the restor
ative power of the body. The ordinary
exertions of man run down the circula
tion every day of his life, and althongh
the night apparently equalizes the circu
lation well, yet it does not sufficiently re
store its balance for the attainment of a
long life. Henee, one day in seven by
the bounty of Providence is thrown in as
a day of compensation to perfect by its
repose the animal system. Yon may eas
ily determine this qneBtion as a matter of
fact by trying it on beasts of bnrden.”
God has revealed Himself in this divine
arrangement of time in the same manner
in which He has set the night of rest
against the day of toil, rounding the day
by a sleep, mysteriously adjusting strength
and time; so that we feel thankful and
bless God that the time of toil is not
longer, feeling that strength wonld not
be equal for a longer period—that we
could not endnre it. So he has exactly
adjusted also this seventh portion of time
for rest. Robespierre and Danton
thought they were wiser than God and
thought to diminish the resting days of
man; but the experiment failed, and so
ciety broke down beneath the bnrden
they imposed.—fSunday at Home.
Toplady and his Hymns.
What a wonderful and blessed influ
ence, of late years, has accompanied the
well-known hymn, “Rock of Ages, cleft
for me!” We think of the Prince Con
sort soothed by it on his death-bed; of
Gladstone translating it into Latin; of
frequent and familiar use of it in our
frayer-meetings before Sankey was heard
—and of the American missionary find
ing many weeping as they sang it in an
Armenian Church in Constantinople.
The hymn first appeared in 1776, at
the end of an artiole in a magazine on
“Questions and Answers Relative to the
National debt,” and showing the nnmber
of a man’s sins to be very great, but met
by the unspeakable value of Christ’s
Atonement. The gifted anthor was con
verted when a lad on a visit to Irdand,
and says: “Strange that I, who had sat
so long under the means of grace in Eng
land, should be brought near to God in
an obscure part of Ireland, amid a hand
ful of God’s people met together in a
barn, and nnder the ministry of one who
could hardly spell his name! Surely it
was the Lord’s doing,.and is marvelous!”
He was much admired and beloved as a
clergyman of the Chutch of England;
and though he died early, at the age of
thirty-eight, his name will long live in
connection with his hymns—the pensive
tenderness that characterizes them en
haneed by what we are told of his fast
failing health and bodily infirm
ities. The spirit was not weak
when he Bang—
Your harps, yon trembling saints,
Down from the willows take;
Or,
When languor and disease invade
This trembling house of clay,
’Tis sweet to look beyond the cage,
And long to fly away.
His death was signalized by a joyful
ecstacy, as he exclaimed, “It will not be
long before God takes me, for no mortal
mao can live after the glories whioh God
has manifested to my sonl.” He had re
quested that the funeral should be as pri
vate as possible, and no funeral sermon;
bnt thousands gathered at Tottenham
Road Chapel, where his remains were in
terred, and Rowland Hill felt impelled by
his feelings to address the multitude, ex
pressing his ardent affection for the de<
parted saint.

St. Geobge Mivabt, an eminent natn-
raliat, says that for awhi'e he accepted
Darwin’s theory, but he has been com
pelled to give it np for scientific reasons.
It is plausible, but not trne. And so it
goes. In what is called natural soience
nothing is fixed so securely that it may
not be superseded by new discoveries to
morrow. Only the word of the Lord en-
dnreth forever.
