‘ MAYBE A SERMON—
MAYBE A SONG.”
Cats— The gray kitten is sitting on
the table watching my pencil move
across the paper and occasion!} - making
futile dabs at it with her velvety paw.
And when I pause, vainly hoping a
fresh, new idea will present itself, I
tickle Ik r dingy little nose with the
pencil. I wundar if she knows that nice
bones are gotten for kittens by means
of that slender pencil. Hardly, for she
is one who taketh no thought for the
morrow. The other gray kitten is look
ing on from afar off, he being a social
outcast on account of a kerosene bath.
Ilis is not ‘.he odor of sanctity and he
evidently thinks a few fleas more en
durable than his present state of oily
misery. He is vety ill from licking
himself, too. That is where his in
stinct failed him. ll<- knows only one
remedy for a sensation of dampness
and that is licking himself. When the
dampness results from water he is safe
enough, but he hasn't power to dis
criminate between water and oil and
thereby hangs a tale of woe.
The big gray cat on the window sill
is the special love of the household’s
juvenile member. II" is a gentleman
in his habits, which refinement be has
probably absorbed from his enviton
ments, hut he is both selfish ami de
ceitful. lie takes all the nicest tidbits
from th" kittens, growls at tlmin fero
ciously, ■•nl then if he sees anybody
looking at him, assumes a saintly mien,
softly licking his Tips the while. Thus
the meancss in him shows through all
, of his acquired polish. son say al*
cat” are selfish and cruel? Oh, no, the
little gray mama isn’t. She suffei<
with meekness the growls and cuffs of
her lord, and when the kittens greedily
take her dinner she submits with mild
patience. She is a living proof, though,
of the assertion ‘hat the good aren't
always prosperous and happy, lor she
has grown very gaunt and thin. ‘Now
this a good place to moralize, but I
wont.’ This family has interested me
greatly at times, but at other times I
have felt very like Hing it up in a sack
and drowningall its pleasures and pains
faults ami fleas, in the neighboring
brook. Only one flnds it rather hard
to drown anything one Iris cared lor.
Tin: Passing oi th <>i-i> Maid. It
might be inferred from all this that the
News’ weekly “sermon or song” ema
nates from an “Old Maid’s Retreat.
Do you know, I think it a burning
shame for people to ridicule old maids
and their cats. It is very touching ami
pathetic to me to see these dear wo
men lavishing on pets the love that by
——rights belonged to husband ami babies.
But yfrrr *ri ;w the ojd GJ
maid is becoming a thing of the past in
more than one sense. The faded, meek,
little woman whose growth ceased when
her romance ended, ami her fresh
girlhood became withered, and about it
the sad sweet fragrance of ashes of
roses, is giving place to a more vigo
rous race of elderly maidens. In those
conservative old towns where time
runs its slow end dignified course in
just the same way from year to year,
this (piaint atmosphere of sweet laven
der and gray Quaker gowns may enfold ■
old maids for years to come, but where j
progress holds sway it is an atmos
phere of business offices that the wo
man without domestic ties is likely to
seek. An atmosphere charged with
electricity which shocks her faculties
into active life.
Aud that is of course better for her,
but I like the old fashioned maid best,
considered merely as to artistic prop
erties. The new sort aren't fitly called
old maids, anyway, and I think the
name ought to pass with the old sash- ,
joued ways it seemed to tit so well j
The memory of a certain old maid lin- ,
* gers like a halo over some of my child- |
hood days.
Possibly 1 feel a ten ter reverence !
for all old maids on her account. Sh 1
lived in an old gray farmhouse with a
delightful old fashioned garden and a
'' grassy old orchard, which was just the
finest place in the world to read the ;
old books to be found on a shelf in the
best room. Many a drowsy summer '
day have 1 stretched myself on the
grass and pored over those books! And
I remember going along the orchard
path where the bloom freighted apple
boughs brushed across my face and
the sunbeams danced about my feet in
the tangled grass, and 1 almost fancied
myself a character in those old books,
so strong was the sense of the unusual
and romantic which possessed me.
Tonight as 1 write of all
this the wind is making a
thin, weird sound in the trees outside
and there is a chill in the air that tells
of autumn days, and 1 am reminded
that early romance often shatters and
drifts aud withers, even as did the ap
ple blossoms long ago. \\ hat ate old
maids, anyway, but brown and shriv
elled leaves that once budded on a
summer bough? My little, old maid
drifted from the bough where my own
youth was budding forth and 1 shall see
her uo more. And I would not go to that
old house for any king, now. A slovenly
married couple live there aud the place
k has lost its exquisite air of cleanliness
\aud sweetness. The orchard path is
Mroked with weens and I expect even
ohl Looks arc torn aud scattered.
And ti • eld maid, the brown ,
leaf, has drifted away on the wind am
the bud that was on the bough has
grown through all the days of sun aud
rain.
In August when the nights grow coo
;and the breeze makes a thin, weird
sound in the trees, one wonders if the
eaves do not think of September and
of the brown little leaves that have
already foretold the fate of all foliage
“which today is and tomorrow is not.’
But the wind sings songs to the
leaves. I have heard one that sounded
I like this, I think:
“Far in the upper deep,
i The stars are now apeep.
The drowsy river manners in its How.
’ I hear its voice repeating
‘Life’s blossom time is fleeting,
A lil let us catch the fragrance ere it go.
I Love oh!
Meet me where the apple blossoms
blow.” E. C.

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
» ’ transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, winch vanish before proper ef
forts —gentle efforts—pleasant efforts —
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many form- of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who Value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that.itis the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
wall-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
teed and gives most general satisfaction.
