_________ A sympathizing friend sends the following gem : A LAMENT -LRB- FOR S. B. PAT PAW -RRB- We mourn the loss of our little pet , And sigh o'er her hapless fate , For never more by the fire she 'll sit , Nor play by the old green gate . The little grave where her infant sleeps Is ` neath the chestnut tree . But o'er her grave we may not weep , We know not where it may be . Her empty bed , her idle ball , Will never see her more ; No gentle tap , no loving purr Is heard at the parlor door . Another cat comes after her mice , A cat with a dirty face , But she does not hunt as our darling did , Nor play with her airy grace . Her stealthy paws tread the very hall Where Snowball used to play , But she only spits at the dogs our pet So gallantly drove away . She is useful and mild , and does her best , But she is not fair to see , And we can not give her your place dear , Nor worship her as we worship thee . A.S. _________ ADVERTISEMENTS MISS ORANTHY BLUGGAGE , the accomplished strong-minded lecturer , will deliver her famous lecture on `` WOMAN AND HER POSITION '' at Pickwick Hall , next Saturday Evening , after the usual performances .
