THEROsE

I saw rose in perfect beauty, it
rested gently on its stalk, and its per
fame filled the air. Many stopped to
gaze upon it and taste its fragrance,
and its ownerahung over it with de-
light. I passed it again, and behold it
was gonc-its stem was leaAess-its
root had withered-thc enclosure
which surrounded it was broken. The
|spoilershad been there, he saw that
many admired it and knew it was dear
to him who planted it there, and be-
sides it he had another to love. Yet he
snatched it secretly from the hand that
cherished it he wore it on his bosom
till it hung its head and faded, and
when he saw that its glory was depar-
ted, he flung it rudcly by. But it left
a thorn in his bosom, and yainly did
he seek to extract it, for now it pierces
the spoilers eye in his hour of ,1nirth.
And when I saw that no man who
had loved the beauty Of the rose
Fgathered again its scattered leaves,
bound up the stalk. which the hand Of
violence, had broken, I looked earnest
!ly where it grew, and my soul received
instruction. And l said let. her. who
lis full Of beauty and admiration, sitting
like the queen Of flowers in majesty
among the daughters Of woman, let
her watch lest vanity entereth her
heart, 9beguiled proudly upon slippery
Places, and be not high,ninded but

:" MIXING UP THE BABIES.

Some TIME ago there was dancing
|party given &c up north;'' most Of the
ladies present had little babies, whose
noisy perversity required too much at.
tention to permit the mothers to enjoy
the dance. "A number of gallant
young men volunteered to watch the
young ones while the parents indulged
in a breakdown No sooner ka,1
the women:left the babies in charge of
the 'mischievous devils, than they
stripped the infants, changed their
tclothes, giving, to onesthe apparel Of
another "a The dance over, it was time
Ito go home, and the mothers took
each baby in the. dress of their own,
and started, some to their homes ten
or fifteen miles off, and were far on
their way before daylight. But the
dayGtollowing, there, was asprodigious
row in the settlement; mothers, dis
covered that a single day had changed
the. sex Of their, babies; observation,
disclosed startling physiological .phe.
1nomena, and then commenced some
of the 'tallest female pedestrianism ;
living miles apart, it required two days
Ito hunmix the babies, and as many
months to!rcstcre the women to- their
natural; sweet dispositions. To this
day + is unsafe, for any, Of the baby
mixers to venture, within the territory.

The brute, angling for him with his
horrible foot, dropped from tree
while his strong arms grasp it firmly,
stretches down his huge hind band,
seizes the hapless wretch by the throat
draws him up into the boughs,s and,

ceased, drops him down a strangled
corpse. . ,l..v..e ,,a.,.,. .g
"a tree is the gorilla's sleeping
place by night, his pleasant abode by
day, aad his castle Of defence. From
that co,gne of vantage he awaits his
foe, should the latter be hardy or
foolhardy enough to pursue. No full
grown gorilla has ever been taken,
alive. "A bold negro, the leader of an
elephant hunting expedition was of:

lila. If you gave me the weight of

is an amiable and exemplary husband

young family with affectionate solici7

utmost strength and ferocity. The
mothers show that devotion to their
young III times of danger, which is the
most, universal Of instincts. .o,,...5t..,.

Snug hammock out of the long, tough,
slender stems Of parasitic plants, and
lines it with the broad dried fi,onds Of
palms, or with long grass--a sort Of
bed surely not to be despised, swung
in the leafy branches of a tree. By
day, he sits OH a bough, leaning his
back against the trunk, owing to which
fact elderly gorillas become rather
bald in those regions az 5g .r-..,t.

and limbs are nearer those Of man, yet
they are of more uugainly aspect than
in any other of the brute kind. Long

faces and protruding eyes
glarcd forth meaning of dreadful i'm

peared to be the main centre of inter
