A BIRTHDAY SONG.
When berries redden on tho thorn, Oh, that's tho timo my love was born! When loaves are scarlet in the valfe, And all the-feathered grasses pole When humming wheels throsli out tho corn, 'Twas then my pretty love was bom.
When hunters wind the merry horn, By woodland ways and acres shorn In darkening days when nests are chill, In silent days when birds are still— Except tho lark, who sings in scorn Of wintry care—my love was born. O wailing month with trusses torn! O happy inonch no more forlorn! For thee, Uion^h earth lie mute below, in heaven tlio trumpet winds shall blow, The rose of eve, the star of morn, Shall rrown tho month my Jovo was born. -Margaret L. Woods in Murray's Magazine.
THE CATNIP GARDEN.
Once upon a time there lived in the beautifu city of Denver ft certain gentleman of the name of Toll, and he was a judge. All over the state of Colorado and elsewhere, too, the judge was famed for his goodness and his learning. In fact ho was so good and so learned that one Christmas eve Santa Clans came and brought liim a sweet little baby son.
The juifee was very proud. "I will rear this little son to bo a good and great jurist," said he, "and when I am old and feeble be will be the staff and comfort of my as e."
One of the first things Judge Toll did was to hire a nurse to take care of the pretty little boy, for it so happened, sadly enough, that the baby's mother was not strong enough to carry the baby and ainuse it all the time. The nurse was a kindly old lady, who had lived away down east, where there were many, many baby girls and some baby boys, so she knew about babies and just, how to take care of them.
This baby was very fond of his nurse, and he would lie in her lap and admire her antique style of architecture, or would pat her wrinkled cheeks and coo the sweetest baby music imaginable.
This made Judge Toll very happy. "IIow handsome the baby is," he would say to himself, "and what a great jurist he will become!"
But one day the old nurse came to the judge and said, "We must do something for the baby."
The judge was vastly astonished. "You surely do not mean to tell me that the baby is sick?" he exclaimed. "No, not exactly sick," said the old nurse, "but he needs toning up. He is fat and strong and contented, but there is a kind of look in his eyes that tells me he needs a tonic." "Then we will call the doctor." "There is no need of that," protested the old nurse. "The doctor would laugh at you and say the baby is all right. But I know just as well as I know anything that the child needs toning up!" "Well, then, what shall it be?" asked Judge Toll. "Paregoric, squills, castor oil, hive syrup, belladonna?" "None of them," answered the old nurse, "for they aro all drugs, and he doesn't need drugs. What he needs is toning up."
The judge said nothing—he did not know what to say. Of law, of politics, of mining, of literature, and of other worldly things he knew much, but of baby tonics he simply knew nothing. "What the baby needs is catnip tea," said the old nurse. "Nothing will tone up a baby's system like catnip tea. Down in Vermont an' Maine an' Mass'ehusetts they always bring up their babies on catnip tea, an' that's why their babies make such smart men an' women.' "But I thought catnip was something cats ate," interposed the judge. "Law me, an' so it is," said the old nurse, "but it's just as likely living for human folks. Why, there's notliin' in the world that'll tone up a weak system like a bowl of strong catnip tea. I hate to see this blessed child pinin' for wha'd be the makin' of him." "I know nothing about it at all," said Judge Toll, "but if you say the Ixtby needs catnip 1 will get some for him."
Judge Toll went all over town for catnip —into every drug store, every grocery and every doctors office, but not a sprig of it could he find anywhere. "You will have to send east for it," the druggists said "it doesn't grow out here in Colorado." 'TChen send east for it 1 will!" cried Judge Toll. And so he did. That very night he wrote to an old college friend iu Massachusetts informing him of his dilemma, and asking him to send forthwith gooidly supply of catnip, no matter how much it cost.
Well, in about three weeks' time, there came along a largo express package from the east, aud when the judge opened it he found that it contained forty-nine bunches of green catnip. Oli-I how fresh and fragrant they were, and how their green leaves and assertive odors took one back across the arid plains aud muddy rivers to the ferny wild woods of dear old Yankeeland! "The baby shall have catnip tea three times a day now!" cried the judge. "Here's enough to hist a year," said the old nurse. "I tell you what we'll do, we'll plant some of these bunches in the yard, an' whenever we need a few leaves for a tea we can step out and pluck them. So we will have an ever increasin' supply." "That's a good plan," said the judge. "We will plant these healing herbs at once, and they shall lieautify and perfome our promises."
That afternoon Judge Toll planted the catnip herb in pretty rows in his front yard, and thereafter carefully irrigated them every morning and evening. It was surprising how soon the plants took root, and in less than seven days they were as flourishing in their minted soil as they would have been on '.!: I ills of Vermont. Whenever the oH mn-se wanted to make a tea she stepped out into the yard and plucked a few catnip loaves, peeped then' in hot water, and there it was. as natural catnip tea as ever simmered on a stove nitride led down a baby's throat. The catn:: bushes meanwhile thrived and shot out fresh sprigs and leaves, and their fragrance filled the air for a great distance.
Uncle Seth Cooley, who lived on Capitol bill, one morning hobbled down t« the Toll place and leaned over the fence and gazed tenderly at the thrifty herb. "Jest as nat'ralas ever," said Uncle Seth slowly and sadly, as his nostrils dilated. "Jest as nat'ral as when Mitty an* I used to go hucklebcrryin' in the medue.r, near the plnm trees, out in Pelham. Say, judge, you wouldn't mind givin' me a bookay on 'em, would ye? I'd kind o' like to smdl 'em and take'em home to Mitty." And old Mrs. Baxter came over from Evans' addition-and begged a "bookay," too. She cried softly over the coarse, green leaves, na if the sight of them awakened memories of the time when old Uncle Dan'l and she •tarted out In IIfo together in a little frame
cottage "at Dummerston, on the West river, just six miles f'rn Brattleboro'." .Oh,' yes, the Yankee folk came from all parts of the city of Denver to see that wonderful front yard, to pluck the catnip leaves and to tell the marvt'lous stories of the cures the herb had ofleet oil. And all this time the rowsof catnip kept growing and growing and growing, aud the fragrance went up and was wafted hither and thithor by the breezes.
Away up on top of a very high mountain near Del Norte there lived an old Maltese cat, tho maternal ancestor of many generations of her species. She had qpme across the plains in a prairie schooner in IBM with a party of emigrants, and now efeeJived in the hospitable loft of the stable' nearest, the summit of an imposing peak not far from Del Norte. One night this old Maltese cat was traversing the ridge pole of the stable when she was brought to a sinMen standstill by the brecse blowing 1mm the oun lu«Lst. "Wec-ow-ow!" exclaimed the old Maltese feline and her eyes glittered strangely, her tail began to e.vpaud, aiul her venerable tur rose on her back. "Why, gran'ma," inquired one of the younger e.-.ws a demure maiden tabby of uncertain age, "why, gran'ma, what ails you:'" "Wee-ow-ow!" 'replied the old Maltese catnsnin. "Wee-ow-ow! 1 smell catnip!"
Nov.- the other eats had heard about catnip, but. li.-ul never seen any. The tales which the Maltese cut had told about her experiences with the favorite weed before she left, her kittenhood home in Maine had beeu handed around among the other cats of Colorado as quaint legends. All the other eats bad heard tell of the subtle glories of catni». but none had ever beheld or even whiiled the grateful herb. "Where?" asked twenty young cats in chorus. "Oh! I don't know," replied tho old Maltese cat, "but I can smell it, and I going to follow up the trail until I find it."
With these portentous words the old Maltese cat whisked her tail, gave a wild "Wee-ow," and started on a run for Denver, 300 miles away. "Wee-ow-ow!" cried the other cats—and the kittens too—and off they started for Denver, giving the old Maltese a hot race over hill and valley, peak and plain, mead and wold.
The word passed around, and the cry went up here and there like wildfire, "Catnip! catnip! catnip! We're going to get some catnip!" The,tidings reached Alamosa, and ran along the whole of the mountain range of Colorado. The excitement was intense—cats hurried from every house, cabin, barn, stable, shed and mine, and joined the vast procession. Every city, town, hamlet and camp was instantly deserted by its cat population. Such a yowling had never before been heard, such a seething army of cats had never been seen. The miner in his lonely hut, hearing the awful rush, sprang from his cot and cried: "The snow slide! tho snow slide! Run for your lives!" But it was only tho cats on the gallop to Denver! Oh, it was a prodigious spectacle, and the old Maltose cat led tho van!
Judge Toll was dreaming pleasant dreams that night, when he was awakened therefrom by a din which threw him into a colU sweat. He crawled out of his bed, slipped anxiously into his trousers, seized his faithful shotgun and stole softly to tho window. The strange noise seemed to come from the front yard—yes, from the rows of catnip bushes. ,,
Then the judge peered out of tho window, and what do you think ho saw? Myriads of cats—billdwsof cats! Cats of every size, weight, color, sex, condition and dtfription. Black cats, white cats, tabbic eats. Maltese cats, tortoise shell cats, brindle eats, spotted eats, striped cats, brown cats, yellow cats, mauve cats, gamboge cats, long cats, short cats, tall cats, fat cats, lean cat5, stump tailed cats, one eared cats, wall eyed cats, three legged cats, mamma cats, papa cats aud kittens— oh, yes. kittens of every,kind and without number! Aud there they were in Judge Toll's front yard, among and on tho rows of catnip bushes—purring, sprawling, yowling like so many demons. "Pur-r-r," said the old, wayback Maltese cat, all the way from Del Norte—"purr-r-r! oh! isn't this lovely? it's the first catnip I've had in going on twenty-five years— purr-r-r! I thank heaven that I have lived to see this grateful fruit introduced into the Kocky mountain region!"
And then all the other eats—there must have been a million of them—purred in chorus so loud that it sounded like an awful, lingering peal of thunder. But this was not all. Oh, no! By the bright moonlight Judge Toll could sea myriads and myriads of other cats surging down from the mountain rauges and through the valleys and over the plains—from Georgetown, Salida, Idaho, Golden, Boulder, Crested Butte, Tincup, San Juan, Pueblo, Chucharas, Buena Vista, Conejos, Durango, Manitou, Leadvillo, Ouray, Huerfano, Kokoina, Monument, Kosita, Saguache and Trinidad—the foothills were al?Yew.ith cats, the mountain peaks swarmed with cats,- and oats, cats, cats swept along like a swirling torrent toward one focal point, Judge Toll's catnip bed!
And, lo! the cats were coming from other directions, too—from the arid plains of Kansas and from Deer Trail, from Monotony Water Tank and from tho dreary confines of Nebraska. Tho breeze" blowing from the north brought the noise of vast armies of cats on their way from Laramie and Cheyenne!
The cats already in the front yard—how they purred ant' and yowled, and how the spark shot from their furry backs affectionately up against tl~ catnip! It was in fact a carni\ .. saturnalia! i5
The judge said to himself, "1 will shoot in among all these trespassers and drive them away. What right have they to devastate my beauteous exotics?"
But then came the second better hought. Would it not be cruel to deprive these creatures of the long denied pleasure they were now crijoyiug in the catnip bed? None of them, .save the old Maltese, had ever before seen or tasted the precious herb they knew of it only from the legendary lore with v. iiicii the old way-back Maltese cat had regaled them, their fathers, their mothei-.i, their grandmothers, their grandfathers, and so ou ad infinitum.
And the more Judge Toll thought it over the more he became satisfied that he ought, i:. ill humanity, to let the catsstay and eiijoy ho catnip. So at last he went back to iiis bed and renewed his slumber as best lie could.
When he got up next morning and looked into his front yard not a cat was to be seen, nor yet a vestige of the catnip eithf.r. The turf was widely rent and torn up, and every leaf, twig, sprig and root of catnip had disappeared. It was conjectured that the cuts took it all away with them. They must have had a terrible battle over the remnants of tho feast, for here and there on the despoiled turf lay eyes and ears and bits of tails and tuftn of fur—silent but eloquent evidences of the last tragic scene of all.—Euaeae
