The Rhinoceros.

Az these animals depend very much
upon smell for their existence and safety,
it is necessary to advance upon them from
The leeward side, II the aim be TO get close
without being discovered. In pursuit
they always trust for guidance 10 the same
sense, and may be heard forcibly inspiring
the air when they have lost the scent OF
tke object they are following.
The ticks and other insects with which
they are covered. supply them with an
other means Of knowledge, inasmuch as
they attract number Of birds, which sit
quietly picking them off, when nothing
strange is in sight, but fly away when an
object exctes their alarm. So well does
the rhnoceros understand this that he
goes on feeding with the greatest conf
dence while the birds are perched on bis
back but the moment they fy, the huge
amin al raises his head and turns it in al
directions 10 catch the scent. Whether
he accomplishes this or not, he generally
feels SO uncertain Of his position, from
the flight OF his companions, that he

FRosr MusIo.-I was once related in
Canada, on fine winter day, and was
riding over the bard snow on the margin
of wide lake, when the most faint and
mournful wall that could break solemn
silence seemed to pass through me like a
dream. l stopped my horse and listened.
For some time could not satisfy myself
whether the music was in the air or in my
own brain. thought Of the pine forest
which was not far OF; but the tone was
not harp.!ke, and there was not a breath
Of wind. Then i! swelled and approached;
and then it seemed TO be miles away in a
moment; ard again it moaned, as il under
my feet. Ii was the voice OF the winds
imprisoned under the pail OF ice suddenly
cast over them by the reremplory power
of the frost. Nobody there had made
air holes, tor the place was wilderness
and there was no escape for the winds
which must moan on till the spring warmth
should release them. They were fastened
down in silence but they would comt
out with An explosion when, in come still
night, after a warm spring day, the ic,
would blow up, and make crash and I
racket from shore 10 shore. So wa
told at my hosts that evening, where
arrived with something OF the sensation o
haunted man. 1t had been some tim
before the true idea struck me; meanwhil
the rising and falling moan made my yer.
hear. thrill again. Once .,veek.
