THE LITTLE ARMIES, 
There are two little armies 
On the world's great battle-field, 
Though unnoted oft by mortals, 
To the eyes of God revealed. 
Though we hear no shouts of triumph, 
Though we see no fearful fray. 
Those little armies battle 
For the night, or Wrong, eneh day: 
The Bight, or Wrong, each ilny. 
They »n/*f .tight , no ground Is neutral; 
And watch the sides they take: 
Our little army chooses 
To light for T*util'8 dear sake; 
The banner floating over it 
Rises grandly up to view: 
And I read this glorious motto • 
“ Fighting for the Good and True, 
The Beautiful and True.’ 1 
How brave, that little army; 
What a halo o’er it shines I 
And even angels welcome 
Every soldier to its lines: 
How sweet the stirring music 
Of the tramp of little feet, 
That in God’s Holy highway. 
Swiftly onward, upward beat: 
Onward, and upward beat. 
Alas! the other army, 
’Neath n gloomy ling unfurled, 
Marches with iho ranks of Evil • 
Treads tile dark ways of the world; 
Not for the True and Beautiful,| 
Does it grow' brave and strong : 
For lo I upon its banner 
I read " Fighting for the Wrong: 
Old, surly-hearted Wrong,” 
f Little Corporal.

MORE ABOUT CATS 
One of 1)10 Rcral’s friends, In a late letter, 
refers to the anecdotes we recently gave 
about cats, and relates the following as an¬ 
other instance of feline intelligence: 
' Some years since I wns living in a house 
with basement dining-room. At the head 
of the stairs leading to it there was on the 
door one of the old-fashioned handles, with 
thumb-piece, to raise 1 lie latch. Well, when 
her catship wished to gain admittance to tho 
room above, and no one was at hand to lead 
the way, she would jump up (it being too 
high to reach otherwise) and catch one paw 
on the handle and place the other on the 
thumb-piece, lifting the latch, when the door 
would swing open, her object being gained. 
This she did repeatedly, showing something, 
and all that was necessary, of a knowledge 
of cause and effect.” 
The following, which wc clip from an ex¬ 
change. is a pretty little story of deceiving a 
cat by a kind of ventriloquism ; hut we can¬ 
not vouch for its truth: 
Speaking of cats, I once had a cat that was 
n victim of misplaced confidence. In those 
clays I could mew nearly as well as she her¬ 
self could. One evening I was amusing the 
children hy counterfeiting the voice of a kit¬ 
ten in distress. Puss was greatly excited, 
and looked ever 3 ’wliere and ran everywhere 
to find the kitten. 
She looked in the bed-room, prowled under 
the bed, then hack to the parlor, under sofa, 
piano, book-case, and everywhere else. She 
looked about me, under my skirt, into my 
lap, mewing piteously all the time. 
Then she sprang into my lap, and looked 
wistfully into my face. Evidently I had, ac¬ 
cording to her theory, either eaten a kitten, 
or it was at that, moment suffering agonies in 
my mouth. She put one paw on my shoul¬ 
der, and with the other patted my cheek, 
crooning to the invisible kit ten all the while. 
This was too much for my gravity. 1 
threw back my head and laughed heartily. 
Puss looked into my mouth, and sprang oiT 
my lap. 
“ It is all over with the kitten,” said she to 
herself (that is, I suppose she did,) “ and it’s 
the hist time I ever have anything to say to 
that deceiver.” 
At any rate it wm the last, for I never 
could coax her on my lap again. She was 
an embodiment of virtuous indignation and 
offended dignity.
