Orioinal Qoetrp.
Written for the DEMOCRAT.
FADELESS is A LOVING HEART.


Sunny eyes may lose their brightness,
Nimble feet forget their lightness,
Pearly teeth may know decay,
Raren tresses turn to gray,
Cheeks be pale and eyes be dim.
Faint the voice and weak the limb;
But though youth and strength depart,
Fadcless is loving heart.
Like the little Mountain flower,
Peeping forth in wintry hour,
When the Summers breath is fed,
And the grander now'rets dead;
So when outward charms are gone,
Brighter still doth blossom on,
Despite old times destroying dart,
The gentle, kindly, loving heart.
Wealth and talent will avail,
When on lifc's rough sea we sail,
Yet the wealth may melt like snow,
And the Wit no longer glow
But more smooth we'll find the sea,
And our course the fairer be,
Ii our pilot when we start
Be kindly, loving heart.
Age in worldly wisdom old
Ye who bow the knee to gold,
Doth this earth as lonely seem
AS it did in life's young dream,
Ere the world had crusted DER
Feelings good and pure before
Ere ve sold IL n1ammOns mart
The kindlier yearnings Of the heart.
Grant me heaven, my earnest prayer,
Whether life of ease or care,
BE the one TO me assigned
That each coming year may find,
Loving thoughts and gentle words,
Twinej within my bosom chords,
And that age may but timpart
Ripper freshness to my heart MINNIE.

Let Us first sketch the Story of the lions life,
beginning with his marriage, which takes place
toward the end OF January. lie has first to
seek his vile; but as the males are far more
abundant than the females, who are often cut
of in infancy, il Is not rare to find young lady
pcstered by the addresses of three or four gal
lants, who quarrel with the asccrbility OF jeal-
ous lovers. If one of them does not succeed in
disabling or driving away the others, Madam i'm
patient and dissatisfied leads them in the pres
euce of all old lion, whose roar she has appre-
catcd ut a.distance. The lovers fly at him with
the tcmerity of youth and evaporation The
! old fellow receives with calm assurance, breaks
! the neck of the first with his terrible jaws
.smashes the leg Of the second, and tears out the
ewes. of the third No sooner is the dav won,
and the field clear, than the lion losses his name
in the air he roars and then crouches by the
side OF the lady, who, as a reward tor his cour-
age, licks his wounds caressingly. When two
adult lions are the rivals, the encounter is more
serious. An Arab pcrchcd in tree one night
saw a.lioness followed by tawny lion, with
full grown name; she lay down at the foot of
tree, the lion stopped on his path and seemed to
listen. The Arab then heard the distinct growl-
Ing of lion which WAS instantly replied to by
the lioness under the tree This made her hus-
band roar iuriousy. The distant lion was heard
approaching, and as he came nearer, the lioness
roart louder, which seemed to agitate her hus-
band tor he marched toward her as if to force
her to be silent, and then sprang back to his old
post roaring defiance at his distant rival. This
continued tor about an hour when black lion
made his appearance on the plain. The lioness
arose as il TO go towards him; but her husband,
guessing. her intention, bounded towards his n
val. The two crouched, and sprang on each
other rolling on the grass in the embrace OF
death. Their bones cracked and their flesh was
torn, their cries OF rage and agony rent the air,
and all this time the oness crouched, and wag-
gcd her tail in sign OF satisfaction When the
combat ended, and both warriors were stretched
on the plain, she rose, slnclt them, satisfied her
self that they dead and Irotted off quite
regardless OF the uncomplimentary epithet which
the indignant Arab shouted after her. This Ge-
rard tells us is an example of the conjugal fidelity
of maday; whereas the hon never quits his wife
unless forced 70, and is quite a pattern of con-

TIE v:,.ue Of Five Dollars.

man, named Porter, says he once had a
clerical friend, between whom and himself there
existed great intimacy. Every Saturday night
as Porter was sitting balancing his cash, a note
would come requesting "the loan OF hve-tlSllal
bill. The money was always returned punctuai-
ly at o'clock on Monday Morning Bat what
puzzled the lender was, the parson always return
the very identical note he borrowed Since he
had discovered this fact, lie made private marks
OH the note; still the same was handed back on
Monday morning. One Saturday evening Porter
sent five dollar gold piece instead OF Eote,
and marked it. Sl ,..e very same coin was re.
turned on the Monday. Porter got nervous and
bilious about it; he cotid not sleep Mt night for
thinking about it !; he would awake his wife in
the middle of the night and ask her what she
thought OF such an occurrence. lie Was last
boiling over with curiosity, when Il note came
from the Reverend borrower ore Christmas eve,
asking for the loan of ten dollars. \ brilliant
thought struck our friend. He put or his great
coat resolving to call and demand an eXplann-
