KITTY'S LASTiMANIA.

BY ANSrl MORRIS.

From Peterson's Magazine.

She had had so many that it was hard telling which was the la»t. There was always some on* thing which she was doing with all her might and mainwhile the fit lasted—and then that was past and gone, and all her thoughts and energies were bent on its successor. Her brother had named her "Kitomar.ia," and the name fitted so well that her father and mother sometimes used it.

Thb youngest daughter was a core tnal to her good, commonplace mother, who had brought up all her .her daughters to be smart, bustling housewives like herself, and had the satisfaction of seeing one alter another marry and settle do.vn in homes of their own. But Kitty was totally different from her sisters. "Just like her father," her mother would ^ah, '•Not a bit of common sense in her."

Common sense or not, she was certainly a bewitching little creature, with her dark eves shining out from the mass of raven hair, that never could be induced to lie smoothly, or be braided or

if Kitty did not tike kindly tj

sweeping, or dusting, or cooking, or scrubbing, no one was more ready to do any little kindness for a sick neighbor or a poor family. And no matter how great her hurrv, or how absorbed she might be in he'r own pursuits, she never forgot to quietly and deftly arrange her father's study, after he had once said, "Kitty, pu*. every book and paper in just the right place."

Kittv's father, the Rev. Mr. Prescott, was the clergyman of the only church in the little village of Bentley, and if he had not much common sense, as his wife said, he certainly had plenty of every other sort. Somehow the studious, quiet clergyman and his daughter understood each other wonderfully well, and seemed entirely contented when together. "It is no use of fretting, dear," Mr. Prescott would say. calmly, when his wile poured torth a list of Kitty's shortcomings. "All are not made alike. For instance, you and I are very different." "I should think so," muttered Mrs. Prescott. discontentedly. "Yes," pursued the good man did not. and does not prevent us Joving each other very dearly."

"that from

No answer from Mrs. Prescott, but she slipped her hand into her husbands and a softened light shone in her eyes. "Now," continued Mr. Prescott, "your complaint against Kilty is that she is different from your other daughters. But why do you want them all alike? Jane and Martha and Matilda are all quiet and sensible women, who will go through life respectably, just as thousand have done before them, but our little Kitty is of quite another sort. "i should think so," again ejaculated Mrs. Prescott. ••Yes, and needs different care. But with that care, and heaven's blessing, I believe her capable of making much nobler wo'.nan than either of her sisters "Why, James Prescott, how can you talk so? What have your daughters done that you should go against them like that?" "Am I goie.g against them? asked

Mr. Prescott, smiling "and if I am, what are you doing in regard to Kitty?" "But that is verv different," interposed Mrs. Prescott has'tily. "Now just look at that girl!" as the unconscious subject of their discussiou came into vieW, racing along the dusty road which led from the village to the little parsonage. "I see her," responded her husband, smiling, and waving his hand, as Kitty, catching sight of him, swung her broad brimmed hat over her head, and redoubled her speed. "Well, did you ever see vour other daughters act "in that way?" demanded his spouse. "How do you think Jane or 'Maria or Matilda would look racing in that style?" "Verv much as elephants would attempting the same feat," responded Mr.

Prescott, with a quiet laugh at the idea of his tall and somewhat stout, elder daughter racing along like that little sprite of a Kitty. "Why, Mr. Prescott 1" exclaimed his wife, indignantly, but the entrance of Kitty put an end to the lecture, which she was evidently ready to be&tow. "Oh, father!" 'cried the flushed and

panting

girl "I have just the loveliest

things to show you I Iran all the way from the village so as to get here sooner." "And a most improper thing it was to do," remarked Mrs. Prescott, severely. But her words were lost. Neither Kitty or her father would hear a single word for the next hour. That was certain from the air of absorbed interest with which the girl was unfolding a paper, while the same expression rested on her

father's face as he watched her. "It's of no use! They haven't a grain of common sense between them," sighed the poor woman, as she betook herselt to the kitchen. "Now, father, look! Did you ever sec anything so beautiful?' exclaimed Kitty, as she held up some of those little pictures with which it is now the fashion to ornament pottery. "Just see this*1 bunch of roses! And this cunning little «. .. head! And only look at this dog 4 Doesn't he look like utir Tray?" "They are really very pretty!" said

Mr. Prescott, looking at each one as Kitty called his attention to it. "What are they for \, "Oh, all the girls have them now, and stick them on vases, and jars, and boxes, and almost everything. Thay call it potochimania, as Aunt Alice did those vases that she ornamented so long ago but I don't know whether that is the real name." "Another sort ot a kitomaniau •remarked her father with a smile. "Oh, yes laughed Kitty. "I suppose Alf will plauge me worse than ever, but I can't help it. My fingers really itch to

father "Certainly, I am willing, aear. Only don't let this new freak make YOU forget your work and trouble mother. You know your manias worry ner. «I know thev do," said Kitty, pemtent"She says last month it was gardeniy. ink and the month before it was croquet, and it's always something. I'm ever so sorry, but somehow when doing one

thing, I want to do It all the time, and then take something else the same wav.« You don't suppose there is a chance that she would let me ornament the tea 6et, do you

The question was too much for Mr. Prescott'* gravity. The idea of his common sense wife allowing Kitty to paste pictures over the cups End saucers, pitchers and plates, was irresistably ludicrous, and he laughed till Kitty joined in his merriment. "But really, father," she pleaded, "you don't know how badly 1 want to try these pictures. I must go and find something," and off she flew.

Half an hour elapsing without her reappearance, Mr. Prescott began to fear that she was doing something that would disgrace her in her mother's eyes, and started in pursuit. He founJ her in her own room, so absorbed in her occupation that she did not hear him as he paused by the open door.

She sat in the middle of the floor, while about her stood the various articles on which she had exercised her skill. Bowl and pitcher, soap dish and mug, all shone forth resplendent, while the handles of her hairbrush and toothbrush were highly ornamented.

As her father entered, she was just gumming a bunch of roses, which it was quite evident, she intended to fasten on a clean, white apron which lay before her. "I wouldn't do that, Kitty," said her father, and Kitty looked up hastily. "Your mother would not be willing for you to put those "pictures on your clothes," he continued. "No I suppose she wouldn't," admitted Kitty, reluctantly but it would look real pretty, woulJn't it, father "It would be spoiled as soon as the apron had to be washed," suggested her father consolingly. "Come into the study and let us try to find some things that you may ornament."

This new mania ot Kitty's drove her mother nearly wild. The bean pot was discovered to have a wreath of flowers about it, top and bottom, while birds, beasts and fih were scattered over it in wild confusion, and as a thick coat of varnish covered them, they could not be re moved. It was uselejs to scold. The girl really meant no harm. More than that, she meant to do right, but when one of her manias seized her she forgot all else. The present freak had lasted sev cral weeks, and as poor Mrs. Prescott said to her other daughters, the only comfort was that kitty couldn't find many more places to stick her pictures. Everything was covered with them. Even the old pump in the dooryard was decorated and duly varnished.

Mr. Prescott smiled quietly at most of the results, but when a picture appeared where it was seriously annoying t« his wife, a gentle reproof from him never failed to arrest Kitty's decorative art for the time. "She will sober down soon enough, he would say, rather sadly. "You did not know me, wife, when I acted in much the same way." "You!" exclaimed his wife, incredul ously. "No, and I don't believe you ever did such things. Why you are as quiet as a lamb." "Nevertheless, my mother could tell vou of the sad prarfks that I used to, play," answered Mr. Prescatt "but she was so gentle and kindly that I could rot go on forgetting."

The words sank into Mrs. Pre6cott's heart. "Gentle and kindly!" She was not that to Kitty, she knew. Perhapi if shs were, it might have more effect upon the girl than her constant fault-finding. At any rate she might try. So for a few

days,

if she could not quite succeed in looking kindly when some fresh delinquency was discovered, at lea.t she said nothing, and Mr. Prescott, being away on business, Kitty was left to her own devices. But her father had charged her to be verv good while he was absent, so she really behaved quite well.

Mr. Prescott was expccted home on Saturday night, and on Saturday morning Kitty resolved to give his study a thorough sweeping and dusting. Her mother approving, she went busily to work, and soon every nook and corner of the apartment was as clean as possible. "Now I must fill his vases," said Kitty, as she surveyed the room approvingly, and in another instant she was in the garden cutting flowers.

But as Kitty arranged the flowers, the idea came into her mind, how much some of the darling pictures would improve the vases. It could not be any harm the vases were her own, and pictures, gum and scissors were quickly tound.

The trouble was, not in ornamenting the vases, but that when Kitty once began she never knew where to stop. It seemed to her that she had just got her pictures spread out when the dinner bell rang, and her mother called, "Kitty! Kitty! haven't you finished dusting that room vet?" "Yes'tn!" answered Kitty, hastily gathering up her treasures, and realizing with a guilty feeling, that her father's favoi ite inkstand had four pictures on it However, she comforted herself with the reflection that she had not varnished it, so they could be scraped off, if her tather didn't like them. Perhaps he would! At any rate, she would leave them until she could ask him, and she ran off to dinner.

The next morning was a lovely day. "Are you ready for church, Kitty?' called her father, and he might be pardoned for kissing her fondly, as she came bounding down stairs in answer to his summons, for a brighter, bonnier sight was seldom seen.

"All

ready!" she answered, as she re

turned his kiss, "and ever so glad to have you home." "Well, run and put my termon in my coat

pocket,

and my handkerchief, too,

I am afraid I am rather late," and Mr. Prescott went hastily to the closet for his best hat "Now help me on with my coat, little woman. That's all right. Now we will start and the minister and his family were*soon moving decorously towards the little church.

The first part of the sermon passed as usual. Kitty sat quietly by her mother's side in the front pew. But the day was warm, and Mr. Prescott, while reading one of the hymns, drew forth his handkerchief to wipe the moisture from lis brow. It was nicely folded, and as he read he gave it a little shake, when out flew a cloud of pictures—flowers, heads, birds and beasts, some lodging on the pulpit, others fluttering to the ground.

Kitty gave a faint cry, and half sprang from her seat, but her mother's ham! sternly held her down. There was some commotion in the congregation, particu larly among the juvenille portion, but fortunately the organ pealed out the

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

opening notes of the hymn, and order was soon restored. Kitty stood, ashamed and sorrowful, through the singing.

To think that she had played such a dreadful trick on her dear father! To be sure she had not meant to, but who would know that Who would even know that it was she who had put those pictures there, and not her father himself? She remembered how it happened. Those were the very pictures she had mislaid, %nd searched for so long in*vain, and she recollected now. that she had been using them in the *tudy, and being called awav had slipped them into one of the handkerchiefs in her father's drawer until she could return.

Poor Kitty she dared not look towards her mother. Finally she gave a little timid glance up to the pulpit, fearing to see grave displeasure on her father's face. But no there he stood, as quiet and calm as usual, but with such a loving, tender smile in his eyes, as they met hers, that the poor child was quite overcome. Great tears rolled silently down her cheeks, and 6he took her seat with a subdued air seldom seen in her.

But the misfortunes of the morning were not over. The hymn concluded, Mr. Prescott took his 9ermon from his pocket. Kitty's eyes were fixed on the ground, when to her horror, instead of the text there fell on her ear6 a half smothered laugh, followed by another and another, from various parts of the church.

Glancing up in astonishment she saw that her father held up in his hand the morocco cover in which he usually placed his sermons hut instead of being plain black, as was its original color, it wa9 gayly decorated with a huge Chinese pagoda on one side, and an equally huge mandarin on the other, while the leaves were so profusely ornamented as to render the manuscript quite unreadable. Once again Kitty caught her father's glance, with the same tender, pitying smile, before she burled her face in her^hands and sobbed as if her heart would break.

Only a moment did Mr. Prescots hesitate.

Then

laying aside the useles.

sermon, he began, in a low sweet yoicet a discourse that thrilled to the hearts all his listeners, so full was it of the "peace ihat passeth understanding. How beautifully he spoke of the duties of parents toward their children, ot the love, kindness, and forbearance which should be exercised towards them. Many a parent remembered that sermon with silent Hissings on the preacher, with great thankfulness for the work that he wrought.

But to Kitty every word that added to her sorrow and repentance, aud her distress was evidently so deep that even her mother forbcre reproaches.

That day put an end to Kitomania in the Prescott's family, and Kitty advanced steadily in her mother's good graces, as she turned her superfluous energies to household purposes

erg 'That girl will make a smart woman, yet!" Mrs. Prescott would remark complacently. "1 quite agree with you, my dear,' her husband would reply, "and remember it is all owing to my illustrated sermon.

ARITHMETICAL PROGRESSION.

if OLD STORY, WITH ALL ITS CON SEQUENCES TOLD.

One day a benevolent physician (who had read the books), having found a stray poodle suffering from a broken leg, conveyed the poor creature to his home and after setting and bandaging the inbjured limb, gave the little outcast its liberty again, and thought no more about the matter. But how great was his sur prise, upon opening his door one morn ii.g some days later, to find the grateful poodle waiting patiently there, and in its company another stray dog, one of whose legs by some accident had been broken. The kind physician at once relieved the distressed animal, nor did he forget to admire the inscrutable good ness and mercy ot God, who had been willing to use so humble an instrument as the poor outcast poodle for the inculcating of, etc., etc., etc.

Sequel—1 he next morning the benevolent physician found the two dogs, beaming with gratitude, waiting at his door, and with them two other dogs— cripples. The cripples were speedily healed, and the four went their way, leaving the benevolent physician more overcome by pious wonder than ever, The day passed, the morning came. There at the door sat now the four reconstructed dogs and with them others requiring reconstruction. This day also passed, and another morning came and now 16 dogs, eight of them newly crippled, occupied the sidewalk, and the people were going around. By noon the broken legs were all set, but the pious wonder in the good physician's breast was beginning to get mixed with involuntary profanity. The sun rose once more," and'exhibited 32, dogs, 16 of them with broken legs, occupying the side walk and half the street the human specIs tors took up the re6t of the room

The cries of the wounded, the songs of the healed brutes, and the comments of onlooking citizens made great and inspiring cheer but trattc was interrupt ed in that street. The good physician hired a couple of assistant surgeons and got through his benevolent wotk before dark, first taking the precaution to cancel his church membership, so that he might express himself with the latitude which the case required.

But some things have their limits, When once more the morning dawned, and the good physician looked out upon a massed and far-reaching multitude of clamoring and beseeching dogs, he said "I might as well acknowledge il I have been fooled ty the book they only tell the pretty part of the story, and then stop. Fetch me the shot gun This thing has gone along far enough.

He issued forth with his weapon, and chanched to step upon the tail of the original poodle, who promptly bit him in the leg. Now the great and *ood work which this poodle had been engaged in had engendered in him such a mighty and augmented enthusiasm as to turn his weak head at last and drive him mad. A month later, when the benevolent physician lay in the death throes of hydrophobia, he called his weeping friends about him and said: "Beware of the books. They tell but half of the story. Whenever a poor wretch asks you for help, and you feel doubt as to what result may flow, from vour benevolence, give yourself the benefit of the doubt and kill the applicant"

And so saying he turned his face to the wall and gave up the ghost.—[Mark Twain in May Atlantic.
