Hymn of Youth GOD: Life is so gcod! A thousand sorrows cannot shake ; fi My unconfined joy; A thousand blows can never break '| My treasure or my trust. For I am young; all blessings light On such as I—who seek, And in the seeking find delight, But in fulfillment, all That heavenly wisdom wants or man Can hope. The darkened shades Shall never close my soul or ban The light of youth from me— I feel that promise and exult! My spirit stands forth free, And I can laugh at fate’s insult. All time is mine, all song, All victories, all joys,—my tongue Extols the world, for Life Is good, and I am young! ELL a [ 220 ]

Among Us Cats || T seems to have been the customary quip, from time immem- | orial, to compare women to the inhabitants of catdom. But why only women? Why should we suppose men to be any different? Is there, I wonder, such a being as a man so mag- nanimous as not to possess and demonstrate some “catty” characteristics, once in a while? If there is, I would surely like to know about it. Probably the best reason why we generally like dogs and horses far more than cats is that, in cats, we see the reflection of our own traits. Unless a reflection tends to be flattering, that mirror of ourselves is con- temptuously rejected. And our pictured traits in cats are not always flat- tering. Far from it. No wonder we adore our dogs. The reason? They are not like us. We may regard cattiness in the human race from the point of view of characteristics and traits and from that of certain physical resemblances. The first point of view is the more common one, but the second is by far the more interesting. We will be systematic and discuss the first one now; the other will come later. Have you not heard people say (mostly women, I’ll have to admit), “Of course, she’s all right, but—”? Do you not get all ready to feel the claws scratch and hear the ‘‘meows” rend the air? I do. Every time J hear such a sentence, or its equivalent, I have a vision of a group of cats, perched precariously on the ridge of the alley fence and complaining loudly, in a melancholy tone, to the moon. And then, have you not noticed that cats are first of all concerned with their own comforts? How different from a dog, who thinks first of nis adored master and last of himself! Which of these two do we humans resemble, I wonder? Is it not perfectly obvious that we are “human cats”? We are extremely self-satisfied and, like a cat, we purr when well-fed and physically comfortable. We are not so pleasant when hungry. Intel- lectually we seem to be partially dormant. Then, just rub our fur the wrong way. Just try it! If you have never felt the searing scratch of a claw, you certainly will now. Also, we hate to give up our vantage point. And how about our brothers, the cats? When I have tried to cajole or to move by force His Majesty, I have tried in vain. It just cannot be done. And just such are we—cats, immovable, blinking at the light. [ 221 ]
