THE HILLS OF THE MORNING 
Simpson, Hall, 
Miller & Co 
O vor stand on the Hills of the Morn to-day,— 
On Its beautiful hills yon stand, 
And your life-courses under the cloud-banks lay 
That envelop the valley land. 
Far away, fur away us the eye can reach, 
Ho the mists rtf the lowlands rise, 
Seeming only (he breath of a pralseftil speech 
That the earth Bends up to the skies ! 
How the sun shimmers over the sen of mist 
With (he softest of silver sheen ! 
ITow the whole Into beauty most rare is kissed 
That was ever by mortal seen ! 
You are close unto heaven on the Hills of Morn. 
Yon urn near to Its shining stars; 
It were easy, 1 think, when the day is horn 
To step in through the open bars! 
Down the Hills of the Morning you'll wander soon, 
When have vanished the cloud-banks gray, 
And above you when oometh the hot high noon 
Then will heaven be far away • 
For the further we go from the morn of Youth 
The fewer the angels near, 
And the further we stray from ottr GOD and Truth 
Till the evening at length appear! 
O the lowlands of life you will find less bright 
Than they seem from the .Morning's Hills, 
For the mist that is glowing with glad'ning light 
Is a cloud that our being chills. 
A rid whenever It. lifts, as It will, at length, 
Yoti will find that the way Is sore, 
And 1 pray that the Helper may give you strength 
Till the wearisome day Is o'er ! 
Far away o'er the lowlands of life ahead 
Do the Hills of the Evening rise, 
And as finally upward their slopes you tread 
You’ll lie nearing the western skies. 
I’ou will mount to the summit with form down bent. 
For the roof of the world hangs low, 
Through the gute of the West with a sweet content 
Y T ou will silently, gladly go I

dash and a squeal, and Blackiehadamou.se; 
then another dash, another squeal, and he 
had captured two. We turned the board 
over, and watched his proceeding. He was 
truly in a strait. The mice were lusty fel¬ 
lows, and he could not hold them both in 
his mouth. He tried it several times, but 
each time he dropped one, and it made off. 
Finally, with one in his mouth, and one paw 
upon ihe other, Blackie looked up at us so 
beseechingly that we ventured to the rescue. 
So soon as we placed one foot upon the 
the mouse Blackie held wtyli his paw, he left 
it; dined on the other; and then returned 
and looked up at us with a “mew" which 
said as plainly its cat could, — “ Thank you ; 
I can manage very well now." 
Blackie liked milk, as wlmt cat doesn't. ? 
Once, at mil king-time, he followed us to the 
pasture, and thinking to frighten him we 
sent a stream of milk all over him. But he 
didn’t run ; he just sat still and licked the 
milk off his shiny coat; and every night 
thereafter, however slyly we might leave the 
house with the milk-pails, lie would present 
himself at the bars and take up position 
near us, with the clear expectation of being 
milked on! His conduct was so shrewd 
that we could not deny him : so he used to 
get a double supply of milk, as he always 
came in for a liberal allowance later, at the 
house.

closely, will at once admit. They exhibit 
frequently a degree of calculation that is 
almost human, certainly equal to that shown 
by the wisest dogs. An anecdote related hy 
a writer in an English paper is illustrative. 
The writer says t 
“ I have in my possession a white (nearly 
true, bred,) Angora cat, about four or live 
years old, which, being a great pet, is in tlie 
habit of sleeping in my bedroom, and is let 
out every morning as soon as the servants 
are up, about seven o’clock. One morning, 
some three weeks ago, having been out late 
the night before, I was sleepy, and did not 
hear the servants, or the cat scratching, as 
lie usually did, at the door. There is a bell 
rope at the bed head, near the door, 
“ The cat, finding his scratching of no use, 
must have stood up on his liind legs (for the 
rope is some distance from tlie ground,) and 
caught at this. At all events lie pulled the 
bell with such a clash that 1 heard it; the 
maid of course came, and tlie cat was let 
out. This was probably accidental, but ihe 
curious thing is he has rung the bell every 
morning since, and on more than one occa¬ 
sion twice, when the first pull has failed. It 
is a considerable effort for him to do so, as 
lie has to stretch up at full length, (I watched 
him without his being aware;) be then gets 
the tassel between his paws and lets himself 
down with all his weight, and generally 
clashes the bell so that it is heard all over 
the house.” 
In our boyhood we had a pet kitten, black 
ns blackest night, which was uncommonly 
endowed with cat wisdom. We could give 
many illustrations of its smartness. It used 
to follow us about in the fields as closely as 
a dog, and for the sole purpose, apparently, 
of securing our aid in the catching of mice. 
Running before us, it would mouiit a stone- 
pile, or an old log, and by actions unmistak¬ 
able request our services. Then while we 
demolished the stoneheap, or lifted the log, 
Blackie would watch for game. 
We remember that on one cold winter’s 
morning, when the snow lay a foot in depth 
everywhere, wo put Blackie on our shoulder 
and started out to procure him a dinner. He 
{ was grown then to full catship, and seemed 
ft to have acquired added wisdom with addi- 
( tional growth. With him quietly resting on 
l his perch, in complete understanding of our 
± purpose, we trudged through the deep snow 
F to a fence l>y the orchard, where we knew a 
r wide board had fallen off. Kicking off the 
Ft' snow, and stationing ihe cat at our feet, we 
y raised one end of the board. There was a

years and seven months old, after being down

to go again, and said he wanted to go aud piny 
with IJto mouse hole.” 
Little Laugh*.—Little Ida, so her aunt says, 
at any rate, is one of tlie smartest of four-year- 
olds. A basiiful boy, Belton by name, was 
recently visiting at her house, and did nothing 
bul grin when spokeu to. One day Ida said : 
“Mother, do you like Belton?” 
** Yes," said the mother. 
** O, mother," said the little girl, earnestly, “ I 
do so like to see him make thorn cunning little 
laughs." 
Gunning.—One day, seeing her sister toko up a 
pair of blinders, the same little one said,— “ Net¬ 
tie’s coming with the horse's eyo-brows 1" 
Slie one day brought in a wild kitten that was 
so frightened it trembled violently. “Oh, 
mother," sin- said, “see the kitten make them 
cunning little shivers!" 
Looking Into Heaven,—One day, while little 
five-year-old Daisy whs walking out with her 
mamma, the sky became rapidly covered with 
heavy, black clouds, seriously threatening a 
storm. While hurrying anxiously along, the 
sun suddenly poured a flood of light through a 
rift in the clouds, reflecting brilliant rays down 
to the horizon. Daisy gazed upward with an 
Rib-rise expression, exclaiming— 
" O, mamma! if I only could go down there, I 
know I could look directly into heaven.” 
“Down where?” inquired the mother. 
“ Why, down there, at the end of those bright 
streaks; 1 could look right tip along that bright 
light, right into heaven, and see the angels I" 
That YYickrd Flea.—Little IlENUY, who was 
playing in the sitting-room, where a portion ol' 
the family were assembled, suddenly began to 
halloo and whoop to the dog very obstreperous¬ 
ly, “ ' Ere,' ere, ’ ore! HI, ’ ere, Rover! " 
“ Wby, what on earth do you mean, by calling 
the dog m the house, Henry?” asked his 
mother. 
“ O, mamma, I waut him to tree this fleet on my 
back!”
