Douglas Jerrola made some amusing remarks
IN his paper in an article headeG-"Quite enough |
for one Elephant" He represented that once up |
on a time fond and loving couple, with their
little ones visited the geological gardens and |
thought they would give the children ride up
on the Elephant. 1t was truly pleasant for
fathers and mothers in reality and no less so for
parents in probability, to see with what sagac-
ious gravity the good old Elephant viewed the
children. The Elephant stood still and the chill.
dren gathered around to have ride. And in
this way they wrs lifted up in ORDER

And-the Baby.
The elephant nodded pleasing recognition to
the hidren as they each mounted. When the
eighth one mounted he was about to move and
take his promenade, when he was stayed by the
keeper.

gave certain trumpe,ing sounds which were in

you if, in all conscience mines not quite enough

1t is an impression think generally preva.
lent in America that the climate of England is
cool, damp, foggy and unpleasant. Such is
sometimes the fact from December to March,
but the rest of the year the air is clear, bracing
and just cool enough to make it agreeable.
The London fogs when they do come are very,
very dense. l have known it dark they

am informed an instance Of the kind occurred
few weeks since. A member of the House
of Lords started for Parliament to take his seat
at the usual hour of noon, when he was overta
ken by one of those dense fogs. After cropping
his way about for some time, he finally brought
up Vt the Prince Of Wales Bazaar where Gen.
Tom Thumb was performing. His Loidshp
was not aware of his mistake until the General
commenced singing Yankee Doodle. Perhaps

the evil as great in England as in America
Rumshops, elegantly decorated and splendidly |
furnished meet the eye on every hand and there
is no end to the drinking. An Englishman
would think it impossible to dine without his
mug of Ale or Porter, to say nothing of the wine
and gin after.
The Hon. Neal Dow. the great advocate of the |
Maine Law, arrived in this country few days
since He was invited by the United Kingdom
Temperance alliance to make known the princi- |
pie. Of the Maine Law, to detail its operations
and the present state of the principles Of tenn
perance in the United States. He will lecture
in all the principle cities of Great Britain and is
expected in London about the first of June. 1t
is to be hoped his voice may be heard and his in
fuence felt, in arresting evil that is causing
snch an untold amount of woe, desolation and
misery.
On good Friday 1 again visited the Crystal
Palace at Sydenhsm, BY an act of p arliament
no Theatre or place of public amusement is
allowed to be open on that day, but the Direc-
tors took the responsib lily and opened the
Palace IN the afternoon. There were more than |
$4,000 persons present. also visited it on the |
following Sabbath Of course it was not open |
to the public on Sundays An effort is being
made to have il SO, however, with many of the |
pnblic gardens, after the morning service.
Thousands of fathers and mothers with their
children, visited the Palace after the morning
service or Good Friday, and why should they be |
denied a like privilege on Sabbath. Surely the |
Sabbath is not more sacred day, than the day
darkened by the memory of one of the most tre
mendous events ever revealed in the annals of
the Christian world. believe we may worship
our Father just as devoutly, just sincerely aud
just as Gcceptabiy in that magnificent Temple
