REPENTANCE.
122 named for her, and she took a great in- terest in me. I was anxious to do all I could to please her, for she was a great favorite among the children. One day Kate Ray, who lived next door, came in to see me. The little kitten was in the parlor, and we had a great frolic with it. By and by I held it up to catch a fly on the window, and it was quite funny to see it try to pounce on it. On the sill was a new blown tea-rose, which Aunt Mary thought a great deal of. Take care,' said Kate, 'or puss may jump on it.' But I thought more of the fun than anything else, when suddenly it made a REPENTANCE. Digitized by Google
