THE HIPPoPoTAMus


The London correspondent Of the N. Y.
Mirror, thus sketches bis fret visit 10 the
.'last lion" Of the biological Garden, in Re-
gents Park, London:
.sThis is the first Of bis species ever i'm
ported into England. The iIlus,rious stran-
ger, i. must be sadly confessed, does net
answer the high expectations that were
formed Eor him, indeed, an old Rhinoceros
in the biological Gardens is much more re-
markabe, being twice as large and very
nearly twice as ugly, which is say ing good
deal On your correspondents first intro
duciion, the animal was fast asleep on some
hay, taking things as easy as an NJ. r. du-
ring heavy speech after dinner. His
Arab at,endent was remark ably sensitive
Of the brute's comfort and dignity, for hc
refused TO wake him up, nntwithsia nding
en,reaties to that effect from lips and eyes
that might have tempted Mahomet from his
Paradise.
"The pet had breaktes, late, and did not
feel particularly we'll, having merely sipped
five gallons of milk, and not taking more
than a mere hundred weigh, Of rice. The
little innocent is cutting its teeth, and cuts
about an inch day. At present i con-
,rves to swallow ten gallons Of milk per
diem, much TO the qualification Of the aris-
,ocratic wet nurses who frequent the gar
deps, and who wonder what it will possibly
be. before it is able to take i.s food like
full grown hip; seeing that it will keep
growing till tits fifteen years old, and il 10

where it waddled about for half an hour,
sometimes below the surface; then came

A QUEER ROX.

An elderly gentleman from Virginia was last
week on a visit to Washington city, enjoying its
pleasant sights and sounds, ard on Thursday
afternoon ventured upon the ground adjacent to
the Presidential mansion. He was soon accosted
in very bland manner by a very bland gentle
man, who declared il TO be his duty to conduct
strangers about tine premiss. The elderly gen.
tleman was pleased with the strange gentleman's
polite manners, and the agreeable service he offer
ed 10 perform, and sauntered over the greensward
and beneath outrageous trees By his side. A
third gentleman ofeqnally pleasing exterior, soon
approached them, and desir.d to know If the
Patent Office were yet open. The cicerone knew
all abont this; it was his duty 10 know it. The
Patent Office was not open. The stranger was
sorry to learn this. He was about to patent a
little box he held it in hishand. 1t could not be
opened BY any one not initiated in the mysteri-
Gus manner of opening it. 1t was intended to
contain opium, which ought not to be handled
| by everybody. He would let the two gentlemen
see The 5ox, and would bet Thirty dollars they could
not open it. While they examined it, he tarried
| behind to look at something else. The polite
guide of the elderly gentleman TUNED the box
| over in his hand and opened it. He was delight.
ed II he had thirty dollars he would bet with
the foolish inventor Perhaps the elderly gen
tleman had thirty dollars.
The gentleman did happen TO have that amount
in his pocket, and as there was no danger o
losing il, it was at his new friends service. The
sanguine inventor now overlook them, and he
produced his thirty dollars. The box was closed
and handed TO the polite gentleman to open; bn
he could not. Neither could the elderly>gentle'
man. They both tried very hard! Itmns, have
been accidentally opened before. Many effort.
were made, but to no purpose. The box could
not be opened. And so the winning party took
his box and thirty dollars, and the elderly gen.
tleman's thirty dollars, and The elderly gen'eman's
guide and companion also, and departed, and leit
the elderly gentleman to mediate on the box ne
could not open, and the polite friend be had so
Suddenly lost, and the thirty dollars that went
with that friend, and the many years OF life ne
had passed without getting right understanding
OF the box gsme! And the elderly gentleman
was chagrined very much, and seemed to have
made discovery respecting himself which cor
| esponds with the self-knowIedge ofa great many
persons who chance to get sold in this world o
box games and other strai gems and iniquities.

AN INFANTS THOUGHT,
WITH SMILE.
BY II. A. DE FRANCE.
WITH A sIMILE

sChildrens' minds are full of beauty. Some bod
sc do not recoIlect whom, tells Of little girl bell
alled TO see rosebush, on whose topmost stem II
idest rose was fading, but below and around whic
hree crimson buds were just unfolding their charm
he artle ssy exclaimed to her brother:sSee, Will
hese little buds have JUST AWAKENED TO KISS THEl
IoTHER BEFORE SHE pIEs,"
s'Come, sister, see the rose tree bloom,',
boy said to an infant fair,
Chow scatters it it's rich perfume,
Upon the summer mornings air.
"Bchcld the dew drop glistning bright,
Which now the sun beams bring to view;
Look sister at the gorgeous sight,
For painted 'tis with ey'ry hue.
"And here observe the fading 1ow'r,
Its withered leaves, its dropping head;
For ere another little hour,
Twill numbered be among the dead.
"But yet around the parent stem,
Three blossoms sweet thou may'N discern;
Each one is in itself gem,
And each will open in its turn.o
eyes Willie," said the little one,
ssThese tender buds have oped their eyes,
Awakened by the summer sun,
To kiss their mother she dies.'
Reader, in this my humble strain
smie bring to view;
will to thee my thoughts explain
That thou may'st mark the meaning too.
These buds distinct and separate
Are Joined upon one stalk, we see;
And typfes the myss'ry great
or God head One, and Persons Three.
Ills not three stems, nor yet one rose
Thus doth TO us this plant disclose
An emblem Of the Trinity.
