RANDOLPH AND CLAY-The following is the in
sulting language used by John Randolph towards
Henry Clay in the secret session of the Senate, in
1925, which led to a challenge from that celebrated
statesman, and blOodless duel
"Ihs man-(mankind crave your pardon this
worm-(ittle insects forgive the insult was out of
the womb of weakness-was raised to higher life
than he born to- for he was raised to the society
of blackguards. Some tortune-kind to hinl-cruel
to us-has tossed him to the Secretaryshp of State
Contempt has the property of descending bnt she
stoops far too short of him. She would die before
she could reach him. he dwels below her fall
would hate him if did not despise him. 1t is not
wiat he is but ctere he is that puts my thoughts in
action. This Alphabet which writes the name of
Tiers ties of Jlackguard, of squalidty refuses her
letters from him. That mind which thinks on what
it cannot express, can scarcely think on him. An
hhyperbolc Tor meanness would be an ellipsis for

Her father had driven her out some hours before

A PET LIoN.-The Westminster Revieu. in re-
cent article Gerards he celebrated lion hunter of
Algiers account of his adventure relates the follow
ing anecdOte OF pet lion, Hubert, which Gerard
caught when cub, and raised till he was big enough
to be dangerous when he was sent to the Jardn des
Pantes at Paris.
Hubert was sent to Paris and placed in the JAR
din DIES Plantes, where, sometime afterwards, Gerard
went to see him.
He was lying half asleep gazing with indifference
on all the visitors when suddenly he raised his head
his eyes dilated, nervous twtching of the muscles
OF his face and agitatian of his tail showed that the
sight of the well known uniform had reused him.
He had recognized the uniform but had uot yet den
tilted his old master. His eyes vaguely nterrogated
this vaguely remembered form. Gerard thrust his
hand into the cage. 1t was a touching moment
which followed; without taking his eyes from Ger
ard he applied his noise to the outstreatched hand
and began to breathe deeply with every breath his
eye became more afectionate and when Gerard said
to him, "Well, Hubert, my old soldier he made a
terrible bound against the bars of his prison. which
tremb'cd beneath his weight. My friends, alarmed
sprung back, and called on me to do the same
Noble beast thou art terrible even in thy love -
He stood pressed against the bars striving to break
through the obstacles which separated us.
He was magnificent as he stood there roaring with
Joy and rage. His rough tongue licked with joy the
hand which abandoned to him, while with his enor-
NOUS paws he tried to draw me gently to him. No
sooner did any one approach the cage than he flew
out in fearful expressions of anger, which changed
into camness and caresses on their retreang 1t is
impossible for to describe how painful our parting
was that day. Twenty times was forced to return
to reassure him that he would be seen again. and
each time that moved out of sight, he made the
place tremble with his bounds and cries. Poor HUI

visits. made captivity little less painful to him, but
the effect seemed to be injurious on the whole lie
dropped and the keeper attributed it to these visits
which perhaps made him ]anguish for the camp and
his old days of liberty. He died, leaving Gerard
firmly resolved to kill many lions as he could, but
to capture no mere; death in the forest by rife,
being infinitely preferable to a pulmonary disease
bred in prison.

An Ode to all Mankind.
BY J. C. YOUNG, NJ. d.

All 70 who suffer, ponder whilst you read,
AS It's your case, Alone not mine, plead
Ye who have felt, or feel them know the pangs
Mans doomed to bear, when the remOrseess fangs
Of dire disease is fasten'd in his soul.
When he would seek the dagger" or the Bowl"
To end his misery by the potent spell
Of deadly poison, or the polished steel.
Ye who have wrthed and groan'd from night to morn,
Cursng the hour that We born!
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease,
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze,
Hoping twould quench the flames that madly burnd
In ev',y vein, as if your blood turn'd
To molten lava
To him who hath felt this,
need not speak, as he knows what it is.
But such only feel the incipient spark,
should read this oer, and ev'ry sentence mark!
Upon The tablets Of their memory,
AS none may tell how he'll tomorrow be.
But all should know, in dark Affections hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To their pain. prompt. they'd think my hand
Must surely grasp NecrOmancers wand,
Like some good (;enii of the olden tne
Whose ev'ry act bespoke his power sublime.
Within this city-throughout all the State,
In ev'ry town and hamlet small or great,
Some can be found who know the power WELD
Having tried it-know it was to the a shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore.
Upon Scamarder's banks, in battle bore.
They know it savd them from the blush of shame
Preserved their health, and deaIer far thei name,
For who'd confess the pain that spoiled has rest
Sprang from a source impure, 10 say the least.
Ye suffering thousands who may read this Ger,
REMEMBER, ALONE can You restore
To health and usefulness.
That you may know
I have the means and over for doing 50,
here will state. Let each note what say.
My motto always is-NO URE NO PAY.
I'm found with ease. my names on ev'ry tongue.
