Do THE RIGHT THING.-Whenever you are
in doubt which of two things to do let your de-
cision be that for which is right. Do not waver,
do not parley; but square up to the mark, and
do the right Thing. Boy when you divide that
apple with your little sister, be careful not to
keep the largest half for yourself. Young man
don't sneak out of the basement door because
ouwish to escape your fathers eyes. Maiden
let not the most trihing deceit pass current in
those little acts which make the sum of your
life.
No matter who you are, what your lot, or
where you live, you cannot afford to do that
which is wrong. The only way to obtain hap
piness and pleasure yourself is to do the right
thing. You may not always hit the mark but
you should, nevertheless always AIM AT IT, and
with every trial your skill will increase. Wheth-
er you are to be praised or blamed for it by
others; whether it will seemingly make you
richer or poorer, or whether no other person
than yourself knows of your action, STILL always,
and in all cases, do the right thing. Your first
lessons in this will grow easier, until finally do
ing the right thing will become habit, and to
do wrong will seem an absolute impossbility.

LAFAYETTE.

We should speak well of Lafayette He was
one of those few men in whom the most roman
tic sentiment for liberty in youth ripened into
an ambition stable as manhood itself, in his old
age; man without guile, without selfshness;
a man whose very bread was to love his fellow
men. Who in his own land, and in this his
second land, as much his own as France and
more, devoted himself freely to the welfare of
the people; who never retracted what he had
said or done, or marked dark lines of inconss-
tency across his clear record. While thousands
like him declared for liberty when liberty was
still in state of fermentation, he almost alone
among thousands remained its firm votary, sac
rifcing for liberty almost everything dear man
hood. That name is fitly associated with the
name of Washington in the annals of our Amer
lean liberty, and count it good omen-since
so large portion of our citizens are immigrants,
and for years must continue to be, as hope will
bel count it a good omen that in looking back
to our Revolutionary heroes, there is scarcely a
nation on earth that cannot point to some dis
tinguished officer, and say, THAT man, who
bled with your fathers for liberty, was of my
blood."-Hary Ward Beecher.

THE P00LIC0N.

The student in natural history is always inter-
ested in the exhibition of any living animal,
whose strange conformation indicates its un-
known origin; and battles the Investigations of
philosophical research to ascertain its genus or
species.
A lusus nature, or nondescript, is ever an OBJ
ject of intense curiosity among all classes par
tcularly if it is next to impossible to accout for
its paternity.
This feeling is greatly stimulated in New Eng
land, whose climate and soil is variagated, and
consequently prolific in the production of ami
mated nature that may be termed SUI generis
Many years since, but within the memory Of
some of the present generation, naturalist ad-
vertised that he would exhibit nondescript, of
most wonderful shape, which had come into his
possession while out on hunting excursion in
the woods of New Hampshire. The physical
science of the State had been exhausted-so the
announcement read-in vain to determine its
kind and descent. Whether it was quadruped
or biped could not be definitely settled from its
anatomical structure, which had some features
in common to both. The animal was exhibited
in hall in a building situated it what was then
called Flagg Alley-now known as Exchange
Avenue, leading from State Street to Dock
Square. He was placed on raised platform at
the end of the room, and personal contact was
prevented by wooden grating which separated
him from the spectators.
The show began on Monday, at 8 o'clock, A.
NJ, and continued through the day. with brief
interval for dinner. The price of admission was
fixed at fifty cents, each person. Crowds of all
classes and sexes visited the exhibition the elite
of both genders thronged the place; the learned

Button to Goldsmith, were ransacked to find a
clue to the inception of the mysterious stranger,
without success. He stood erect on his hind
feet, with his fore paws, resembling hands, ex-
tended to the audience in graceful posture
A cord was passed round the middle Of the body,
which held him in a stationary attitude. The
head was strange one, and looked like those
unique creatures described in the classic my
thology or the sacred Apocalypse. The body
was of a copper color and of perfect smooth
ness. The exhibition stated that he had called
the animal Poolicon, it being term giving
more graphic pcscrfptdo persona than he could
select. The excitement increased, and day af-
ter day the hall was filed almost to suffocation.
There were gathered together the scientific of
the metropolis and vicinity, comparing notes
and endeavoring to trace the ancestry of this
wonderful creature. Its owner was winning
money, and as the week drew to close on Sat
urday the hall was packed with visitors. There
was the learned Judge Parsons the eloquent ell
der Otis, and others Of scarcely less celebrity,
theorizing and speculating, to no purpose.
Among the audience was observed tall
shrewd looking countryman, who was inspect
ing the animal with more than ordinary scrutiny.
He appeared to have discovered a secret, and
was considering the propriety Of revealing it.
lie was from Vermont, and had been a famous
nunter, ana knew tine nature oil most Wllu AMI

so" "What is he ?" uttered hundred voices
at once, which general question was succeeded
by a death-like silence. "Nothng in the world"
responded the countryman, "but shGUed bear ~
The effect of the disclosure was electrical. The
exhibitor turned pale as death, and in subdued
tone accused the Vermonter of libelling his ex-
hibition.
But it was too late; the problem was solved
the mystery explained-the secret revealed.
The owner rushed from the room, through a
private door, with well filled pockets, and the
exasperated multitude made stampede towards
the grating, which they demolished in an in
stant, cut the cord that bound the Poolicon,
which bounded into the middle of the audience,
down stairs, and up Flagg Alley into State Street

Of cries. Poor Bruin did not stop to take breath,
but turned down the street, ran on to Long,
thence on to the I Wharf, whence he sprang
into the water, and, in making an effort to swim
across the channel, perished by the shower of
projectiles from the crowd, that perforated his
body in every part.-Boston Transcript.

WHITE TAIL DoGs.-Recent letters from ia
pan convey much interesting information con-
cerning this curious oriental nation and the re-
tources of their country. A correspondent of
the Philadelphia Ledger relates the following
notable incident =
You would have laughed had you seen the ex-
preston Of Cinano-no-k -kami's face when told
him, during my secone visit to Yeddo, of
strange fact concerning dogs. You've heard it,
l suppose, but he had not. l said to him =
'Cinano-no-kami, do you know that if you see
a dog with white spot upon any part of his
body, that the end Of his tail will also have a
white spotp' He thought first that he had not
understood me, but when the question was re-
peated to him, he looked singularly puzzled
1T is, of course, a joke of yonrs, he at length
replied. Not at all was my answer. Send
out now and bring in all the spotted dogs you
can find, and will convince you before dinner
OF course, there were dozen dogs with more
or less white spots about them introduced in
very short time, and, as expected they all had
white tips to their tails Cinano-no-kam ex-
amined them all himself, looked more puzzled
than ever, and finally said that these dogs GER
tainly upheld the story, but that he would find
a dozen before the next day who could refute it.
l laughed, and told him that the whole of Yed-
do wouldn't produce such dog, and he said,
We'll, we will see.' So you may imagine the
white spotted dog hunt which came off that eve
ming Still they failed to find the one they
wanted. 1t soon got to the Emperors ears, and
finally became the talk of Yeddo. One day
they thought they had me! A dog was lugged
into my room in most triumphant manner.
See here ? exclaimed Cinano-no- -kami, here
is dog with a white spot on his back, and
black tail what do you say to that p
Part the hairs on the end of his tail, and tell
me what you see,' | replied. They did so, and
looked up with disappointed air. They had
discovered several milk-white hairs on the very
tip, that had been concealed by the outer ones.
After that they gave it up.

How often we think, when reading the news,
An editor could always please you If he choose
But such paper as this, why all must agree,
That a thing of less interest they never did see,
But, Sir Critic, reflect, ere you make noise on,
That one mans meat Is another mans poison,
And, lest you persist in your steady denials,
Wen give you few of an editors trials.

With paper in hand skps up to the chair,
And, hastily glancing DER all that she saw,
She thrusts 1t aside with Il muttered "Pshaw"

When there's ever so many,
They don't publish any.
Here's poetry, And battles,
Sketches, And Sieges,
And tales. And lawsuits,
Without ending, A pending.
But no picnics, or concerts, parties for me,
Such trash upon paper never did see.

Adjusts his gold spectacles over his nose,
Takes huge pinch Of snuff before he proceeds,
Then opens the paper, ana leisu'ep reods,

Having in my youth notions of severe piety,
says a celebrated Persian writer, used to rise
in the night to watch, pray, and read the Koran.
One night, as was engaged in these exercises,
my father, a man of practical virtue, awoke
while was reading. "Beherd," said to him,
"thy other children are lost in irreligious slum-
Der, while alone wake to praise God" "Son
of my SOUL" he said, "it is better to sleep than
to wake to remark the faults of thy brethren"

Oh is not that the better philosophy for our
homesp Is it not true Christian philosophy
1t is selfshness that grows angry and rebels, be-
cause a fault has been committed. Let us get
the offended into the sunshine as quickly as
possible, so that true thoughts and right feel
ings may grow vigorous in its warmth. We
retain anger, ,notthat anger may act as whole
some discipline, but because we are unwilling
to forgive. All, if we were always right with
ourselves, we would oftener be right with our
children.
