SOUTHERN BANKER FEBRUARY 26, 1878.
RISK EDITH'S ROSIEST REQUEST.
My papa ’snows you, and he says you’re a man
who mnkes reading for books;
But 1 never read nothing yon wrote, nor did
papa—1 know by hie looks.
So 1 guess you’re like me when 1 talk, and 1
talk, and 1 talk all the day,
And they only say, “ Do atop that child!” or,
“ Nurse! take Mis.-, Klith away.”
lint papa said if I was good 1 could ask you—
alone by myself—
If von wonldn’ write me a book like that little
one up on the slislf.
1 don't mean the pictures,of course, for to make
them you’ve got to be smart;
But the reading that runs all around them, you
know—jsut the easiest part.
You needn’t mind what it’s about, for no one
will aeo it but me.
And Jane—that’s my nurse—and John—lie’s
the coachman—just only us three.
You’re to write of a bad fittla girl, that was
wicked and bold and all that;
And than you're to write, if you please, some
thing good—very good—of a cat!
'Ihia she cat wua virtuous aud meek, and kind
to her parents, and mild,
And careful and neat in her wavs, though her
unstress was such a bid child:
And hours she would sit and would gaze when
her mistress—that’s me—was so bad,
1 And blink, just as if she would say, “ Oh
Edith, you make my heart sad.”
And yet, you would scarcely believe it, that
beautiful, angelic eat
Was blamed by the servants for stealing what
ever, they'said, she’d get at.
1 And when John drank my milk—don’t you
tell me! 1 know just the way it was doue—
I They said ’twas the cat—and she sitting nr.d
'washing her face in the sun !
! And then there was Dick, my canary. When
left its cage oi>cn one day.
\ They ull mad-' believe that she ate it, though
"know that the bird dew away.
I And why t Ju-t because she was playing wi!
a feather she found on the floor,
I As if cat’s couldn’t play with a feather withoi
people thinking ’twas more.
| Whv, once \vc were romping together, when
"knocked down a vase from the sheif.
That cat was ns grieve! and distressed as if she
lmd done it herself;
And she walked away sadly and hid herself,
and never came out until tea—
So they say, lor they sent me to bed, and alie
never came even to me.
No matter whatever happened, it was laid at
the do w of that oat.
Why, once, wlieu I tore my apron—she wr
wrappe ! i • it. and I called “ lt.it .”
Why, they hlimmed that on her il shall never
no. not to my dying day—
Korget tlie pained look that she gave mo when
they slapped me and took me away.
Of course, yon know just what eo i es next
when a child is as lovely us that.
She wui-ted quite slowly away—it was goodness
was killing that cat.
I know it wus nothing she ate, for her taste was
exceedingly t iec:
But they said s'lic stole Bobby’s ice cream, and
caught a bad cold from the ice.
And you'll promise to make t> c a book like that
little one up on the shelf.
And you’ll call her *■ Naomi,” because it’s
name that she just gave herself;
1’or she’d scratch iit my door iu the morning.
and whenever I’d call out “ Who’s there I’
she would answer “ Naomi! Naomi!" like.
Christian, 1 vow and declare.
And vou’ll pu*. me and her in a book. And,
mind, you’re to say I was bad—
And I might have Iwen badder than that but
i iff i iiiffpriiiia: “ - ,
And vou’ll say mat she was a Maltcsse, and
What's tha't yon asked ! “ Is she dead T"
Why, please sir, there ain’t any cat! You’re
to make one up out of your head!

[Cincinnati Enquirer.]
M’ss Emma Davenport, the young
lady mail robber, appeared before
Judge Hughes to-day, in the United
States Circuit Court, held in this city.
Miss Davenport was charged with
abstracting a valuable silk dress and
two valuable packages of jewelry
from the mail while she was acting as
deputy postmaster at Goochland, last
Christmas. She is of good family and
very pretty, and there was naturally
much sympathy manifested by the
assembled crowd in the court-room.
It seems that her lover was in the
court-room and armed with a pistol,
with which to blow out his Lunins
should the sentence he Albany. But
when the court said :
“What say you, guilty or not
guilty ?” the fair prisoner replied,
with a tremulous voice, “Guilty!’’
then there was a scene.
With the word guilty, Aliss Daven
port shrieked, threw up her hands
and fell hack into the arms of her
stalwart betrothed. The jury were
moved to tears, and the judge hid his
face in his handkerchief. It was half
an hour bc!oro the lady revived. The
court imposed a fine of $100, then
