Ike and the Elephant.

THE ELEPHANT HELPETH HIMSELF TO
PIECE OF IsAAC's GINGERBREAD AT WHICH
he is JUSTLY INDIGNANT.
" Well" said Ike, looking the elephant directly
IN the eye, at the time doubling up his huge
fist, as big as a haf-cent bum, and putting on an
ar OF defiance, well, yon got it, didn't you, you
old thief, you s'pose you think you've done
thunderln' great things, don't you for my part
don't call it no better'n stealing Oh, you may
stand there and swing that ride lous looking trunk
o. your just as much as you're mind to, you
can't skeer fellow, tell you. This free coun-
try, old cub-feet; and you amt agoing to take any
more liberties here like that; can tell YOU it wont
be safe for that Ingee-rubber hide o'yourn if YOU
do You take my gingerbread away agin, if you
dare, that's all You just try it, you Onganly rep
tile you. Oh, you may look saucy and pretend you
don't keer, but you just say two words-just knock
that chip off my head, and If | don't give you fits
my name amt Ike Darlington, that's ALL just put
down that lngee-ubber bludgeon, and I'll black
your eyes for you, you old tough-leather. You
darsn't say word, you ill-mannered old bunch
ID knock your eye teeth out, if you did. Oh, take
ltup, II you're mind TO, you needn't think to bull
ly II over me, because you re little bigger am
can tell you. We don't stand no such nonsense
that round here. If 'twarn't for that p'liceman
looking here, I'D pitch into you like thousand o.
bricks. Iwouldn't get out o. your way as people
do when you come along, and should like to see
you just step on my toes-why can't you just try it
now, will You | guess I'd make you hear thunder
with them leather apron ears o. your'n, you big
overgrown vagabond, you. faint no use O. talk
ing TO you, but shall be here, and if you don't
mind your eye I'll lick you like bazes afore go
out''
Here Isaac undoubled his hands, and shaking his
head threatenngly at the huge ANIMAL he went over
TO get look at the monkeys; while the elephant
lazlly swung his trunk from side to side, and good
naturally famed himself with his big ears, as i he
hadn't minded word the little fellow said.-Car-

A Tremcher Man.


A writer in the Boston Post tells the followine
story
Some twenty years since, the widow F. kept
tavern at Quamphegan; she was a stout, fat wo-
man, and equal to the task oflandlord and landlady
One morning, lumber dealer from Lebanon called
at this tavern for cup of tea. He sat down at the
table, spread with all the fxens' for substantial
breakfast, but took nothing except his tea On ask
ing what was to pay, the parsimonious man of ium-
Der was amazed at the prce--two shilngs. Il
took but one cup of tea-nothing else,' exclaimed
he. It's the same, sir, returned the widow, eat
and drink, much or little, as you please IAN the
same, eh 2 replied the tea customer, as he drew
forth his leather purse and paid the two shilIings
well try that ere game, reckons' The lumber
man then went to one of his teamsters, well known
as the greatest eater in the whole country round
about, and asked him if he thought he coutd eat
good breakfast, could he get il gratuitously. sTry
me- returned the trencher man, eagerly, smacking
his lips, and striking his lank stomach at the idea.
"The nmber-man then led the way TO the tavern,
and told the man of appetite to follow and do his
best. He did bis best-his very mightiest Fall

THE DAILY SPY.

The Parting of Summer.
BY MRS. HEMANs.
Thou art bearing hence thy roses,
Glad Summer, --.fare thee WELT
Thou art singing thy last melodies
In every wood and dell.
But in the golden sunset
OF thy latest lingering day,
Oh tell me, DER this checkercd earth,
How hast thou passed away.
Brightly, sweet summer brightly
Thine hours have hoated bv
10 the joyous birds of the woodland boughs,
The rangers Of the sky.
And brightly in the forests
To the wild deer wandering free;
And brightly midst the garden flowers
10 the happy murmuring bee.
But how to human bosoms,
With all their hopes and fears,
And thoughts that make them eagle wings
10 pierce the unborn years!
Sweet Summer /! TO the captive
Thou hast flown in burning dreams
Ofthe woods with their whispering leaves,
AND the blue rejoicing streams:-
To the wasted and the weary,
On the bed of sickness bound,
In sweet and delicious fantasies,
That changed with every sound:-
To the sailor on the pillows,
In longings wild and vain,
From the gushing founts and breezy hills
And the homes OF earth again
And unto me, lad Summer
How hast thou flown with me!
My chainless footsteps nought have kept,
From thy haunts Of song and glee.
Thou has flown in hayward visions,
In Memories of the dead
In shadows from troubled heart,
Ger thy sunny pathway shed.
In brief and sudden striyngs,
To tliug a weight aside
Midst these thy melodies have ceased,
And all thy roses died.
But oh thou gentle Summer,
1t greet thy flowers once more,
Bring me again thy buoyancy,
Wherewith my soul should soar
Give me to hail thy sunshine,
With song and spirit free;
Or in purer air than this
May that next meeting be.

PhilIipIs Fire AnnihiIatnr.

Between one and two thousand persons were
present at Washington square, OH Saturda,
evening last to witnessthe first experiment II
this city by Messrs. Gray, Davenport & Lewis
/ of Phillips Fire Annihilator Weoregret {,
state that owing to some mismanagement the ex
pertinent proved complete failure, and left al
unfavorable impression upon the public mind o
the efficacy Of tho discovery.
A two story frame building, sixteen by twen
ty feet, filed with combusuble materials, wei
saturaa: Cd ith turpentne had been prepared fo
the test in the open space, knownas Washington
Square, on Market between Twelfth and '1hir.
teenth streets. Between seven and eight O'Clock
Mr.. Davenport explained to the crowd the prin.
ciples ofohe Annihilator, and with evident .con
hdence in its power, directed the building to be
fired. The flames spread with wonderful rap
idity, and in a few moments The whole structure
was 'enveloped. One OF the largest Annihila-
tors in use was now brought to bear, but before
the person intrusted with its management could
get the machine properly adjusted SO as TO dis
charge the gaseous vapor directly in the door,
way, the heat became so intense as 10 render its
management impossible and the effort to extin-
gtiish the flames was abandoned The operator
escaped from the burning mass with his clothes
considerably scorched; leaving the machine to
discharge itself directly in the air.
At later period, when the building was well
nigh consumed smaller machine, more properly
managed, was brought in requisiton, but the ef-
iect upon the flames was so trihing as to be
barely preceptible, and the building finally burned
to the ground.
Before the crowd dispersed, Mr.. Davenport
again addressed them and expressed his surprise
as well as regret at the failure but reiterated his
full confdence'in the wonderful powers every
where-claimed for the Annihilator., He attrib-
uted the upiavorable termination Of the present
experiment to the unskillful manner in which if
was conducted and concluded, by announcing
another test during the present week, when he
hoped all who were then present would witness
its success.
we regret exceedingly the failurc.of the first
public test of the Annhlator in our city, and are
TO believe thatwi.h proper management
the result would not have been otherwise. First
impression are most lasting, but we trust the
pubic will suspend an opinion until after the
forthcoming experiment shall have more fully
demonstrated the claim of the Phillips discovery
upon the public gratitude.--S Louis hltelligenccr
