John! sleepily* replies that he wishes to goodness they would burgle some of tho many cheap butter knives and ©aft-boldcra that constituted the largest portion of their btidai gift*;’' nevertheless, h© eeizca a lamp in one hand, and piooo of crockery in tho other, and with his snowy robe fluttering ia the midnight? air, seeks the precincts o! tho kitchen.' Ho hears footsteps iix the pantry, and throws the crockery in that direction ; all ia still, he must have killed tho burglar. Ho approaches the pantry wliero tho corpse lies, when 11 Phieh-t-t-t-me—reomc J lt and with a diabolical shriek something rushes between his nether limW; bo feels a sharp pain in the Ofclvea, drops the light and falls over into a pan ,of milk on the eholf in front of him.His wife up stairs has heard tho encounter, and with only quo thought--which is to perish with hsr husband—flies shrieking down the' stair a. She stumbles over body of John, and her head atcikea in a custard pie which rests on tho floor. Thinking it ia the burglar who has returned to finish Ms bloody work, John revives sufficiently to chuck o few hard blows into the prostrate form of tho partner of hia bosom, who speak?, and tho eiror is discovered.

Brokou okioa and other crockery strews the floor, and instead of goro ha is weltering in milk.

John takos her out in the wood-abed and knocks her in Ike hand with the axe, after which ha takes his breakfast, helps to ad j ait an oy*t:r over his wife's eye, and goes to business. At noon, while at dinner he feels a familiar sensation against his limbs beneath the table, and upe'n examination discovers tho dead cat, living and lively, though with a countenance somewhat distorted by the occurrence in tho wocd-ehed.• Yet there are those who admire cat?* a stated before, besides old maids, and fiddle-string makers, aa will bo seen by tho following advertisement, which appeared in the HkUajltd last week:Cats Wa^tad.—Cats of nil sizes and dogcrip-tlone.
