MEMORY OF TIE ELEPHANT "A female

country to ChittagOng on the route tbith-

king her way to the woods was lost The
keeper made every excuse to vindicate
himself, which the master of the animal
would not listen to, but branded the man
with ca7elessness, or something worse for

the elephant. He was tried for it, and
condemned to work On the roads for life.
and his wife and children were sold for
slaves. About twelve years afterwards.
this man, who was we'll known to be ac-
quainted with breaking elephants, was
sent into the country with a party to as
sist in catching wild ones They came up,
on herd, and this man fancied he saw
amongst the group lis long lost elephant,
for which he had been condemned. Ho
resolved to approach it-nor could the
strongest remonstrances of the party dis
suade him from the attempt. Having
reached the animal, he spoke to her. when
she Immediately recognized his voice she
waved her trunk in the air as token of
salutation, and spontaneously knelt down,
and allowed him to mount her neck. She
afterwards assisted in taking other ele-
phants; and decoyed three young ones to

sence. The keeper returned, and the sim
gular circumstance attending the recovery
being told, he regained bis character; and,
as recompense for his unmerited suffer
lngs, had pension settled on him for life.

Lady Clara We're De We're.
BY ALFRED TENNYSON

Lady Clara We're de We're,
OF me you shall not win renown;
You thought to break country heart
For pastime ere you went to town.
At NE you smiled, but unbeguiled,
l saw the snare, and l retired
The daughter of hundred Earls.
You are not one to be desired.
Lady Clara We're de We're,
l know you're proud to bear your name !;
Your pride is not mate for m.ne.
Too proud to care from whence I came.
Nor would I break for your sweet sake
a heart that dotes on truer charms.
A simple maiden in her flower
Is worth a hundred eoats-ofarms
Lady Clara We're de We're,
Some weaker pupil you must find,
For we're you queen of all that is,
could not stoop to such mind
You sought to prove how I could love,
And my disdain is my reply.
The lion on your old stone gates
Is not more cold to you than l.
Lady Clara We're de We're,
You put strange memories in my head,
Not thrice your branching lines have blown
Since beheld young Laurence dead,
Oh your sweet eyes, your low replies;
great enchantress you may be
But there was that across his throat
Which you had hardly cared to see
Lady Clara We're de We're,
When thus he met his mothers view,
She had the passions Of her kind,
She spake some certain truths OF you
Indeed heard one bitter word
That scarce is fit far you to hear;
Her manners had not that repose
Which stamps the caste of We're de We're
Lady Clara We're de We're.
There stands spectre in your hall
The guilt of blood is a. your door;
You changed a wholesome heart to gall.
You held your course without remorse,
To make him trust his modest worth,
And, last, you fixed a vacant stare,
And slew him with your noble birth.
Trust me, Clara We're de We're,
From yon blue heavens above is bent
The grand old gardner and his wife
Smiles at the claims Of long descent.
Howe'er it be, it seems to me,
IT'S only noble to be good,
Kind hearts are more than coronets.
And simple faith than Norman blood
know you, Clara We're de Vere
You pine among your halls and towers,
The languid light of your proud eyes
Is wearied Of the rolling hours.
In glowing health, with boundless wealt,,,
But sickening of a vague disease.
You know so i'll to deal with time,
You reeds must play such pranks as these
Clara, Clara, We're de We're
If time be heavy en- your hands
Are there no beggars at your gate,
Nor any poor about Jour lands?
o. teach the orphan boy TO read,
Or teach the orphan girl to sew,
Pray Heaven for human heart,
And let the foolish yeoman go.

THE MAN WHO TRIED TO BORROW
HIMSELF OUT OF DEBT,

There are great many difficult, and
some impossible things; but no matter
how difficult or impossible thing may be,
you will always find people in the world
read to undertake its Accomplishment,
whether it be the discovery of perpetual
motion or the equally romantic attempt to
get out of debt by borrowing.
Of all the hard work in the world, to
live by borrowing is, perhaps, the hardest,
and Of all the mean work in the world.
that is abous the meanest. Pride, inde-
pendence, and self-respect, one after an
other. are sacrificed until the man sinks
into contempt.
Peter Oglethorpe was not a borrower
by profession He had started in life
with a small patrimony, and worked along
independently, until his fftieth year, when
losses in trade deprived him of the means
of paying certain obligations, and he sud
denly found himself in trouble.
Mr.. Oglethorpe, said man who came
into his office about this time, I want vou
to settle that account.
1t is impossible to do so now, Nfr.
Spicer. Wholly impossible. You have
heard of ny trouble Mr.. Oglethorpe
exhibited both distress and agitation
No; have trouble enough of my own,
without looking after that of other people,
was gruffly answered He had heard Of
the trouble, and had called among the
first, to secure his debt if possible.
| have net with heavy losses, said Mr.
Oglethorpe. Losses that cover more than
am worth At time when I expected
to be easy and comfortable, I find myself
thrown to the wall,
What do you propose doing? asked Mr..
SPicer, abruptly.
Doing justly. was answered with some
dignity of manner.
No one doubts that, said the creditor
softening considerably But what are the
steps you propose taking?
My trouble is so recent, replied Ogle-
thorpe, that | remain undecided as to the
best course of action. But of one thing
you may be certain, there will be no pref
erence of one over another. All will be
treated alike.
Then you mean to stop payment?
If I have lost the means of payment,
how am | to pay my obligations?
You are evidently putting the worst
face upon your affairs. Mr.. Oglethorpe.-
The visitor manner underwent further
change. Let me suggest to you different
course Of action.
Say on Mr. Oglethorpe cast his eyes
to the floor, and bent his head in silent at
tention.
Don't think of giving up in this way
The tone was insinuating.
But how am I to go forward? vas the
debtors prompt interrogation. For in.
stance I owe you two hundred dollars, and
you want the money?
! I do
Very well. What next?
Borrow
Berrow?
Yes. You have many friends who vii

Show him in.
1t was too late to retreat. Feeling ike
a culprit, poor 0glethorpe, with forlorn
aspect. entered the roc.a where Spicer sat
awaiting him
Well What's wanted? iuterroeated
the bear from his den.
II am short to-day, few bun.red
dollars, stammered Oglethorpe.
Well what's that to me! returned Spi-
Ger, with rougbness akin to his nature.
Nothing-but you see it's hard on to
three O'Clock, and-and-
Oglethnrpe could say no 10 more.
We'll; growled Spicer, let three o'clock
come, aud the quicker it comes the better
for you, and all fools like you,
Sir?
This outrage penetrated beyond the bor-
rover, and reached the man Ogleyhorpe's
crlnging manner gave way to an erectcr
attitude, and lis face of depressed sofcita-
ton changed its look to one of indignant
feeling. S.r, this is mean as we'll as cruel,
he said with Sternness of tone that added
anger to the others i'll nature and made
MIN more reckless OF speech.
The truth may always be spoken, and if
1t hurts 1t Is because it tells home. retort-
ed Spicer, with increasing asperity of man
ner. You are "a fool, and have been pIav-
ing the fool for over a year, as all other
men do who start on that worst of FOOLS
errands, borrowing themselves out of debt:
A man may work himself out Of debt. but
be might as well attempt to empty the
ocean with an oyster shell as to bor-
row himself out of debt There, sir, YOU
have my sentiments, and I hope they will
do you good.
Without word of reply, Mr., 0glethorpe
turned away and left the house. The
truth which came from the lips of Spicer
was a sharp sword that cut away down in
to the heart of conviction,
Yes; | am a fool he muttered between
his teeth, as he strobe off I was fool to
take knaye's advice in the beginning,
and greater fool not to have discovered
my own folly. Three o'clock may como
now. The vain struggle is over. The
long dreaded day is over, I am ruined
just two thousand dollars worse off was
Mr.. Ogletborpe than when he began the
task of borrowing himself out of debt
Neglect of business and excessive interest
were the causes that produced the result.
But bis creditors were not hard upon him.
They knew the man to be honest at heart,
and pitied his misfortunes Full time to
work himself out Of trouble was granted,
and he did work himself out of it though
it cost him years of active devotion to bu-
sness.
