muddy, the icicle looked foul, and its beau

Stag-Hart or Red Deer.

Some persons consider this the most
beautiful of the deer kind. Shaggy and
rough as he looks, he is graceful, active
creature; and his large, lusrous eyes, and
towering antlers, give him very spirited
appearance.
Some curious things are known about
this deer In the first place, you are prob.
ably aware that every year, towards the
last of February or first of March his horns
drop off, when he retreats into the thickets,
and seems anxious to hide himself till
they are completely grown out again. But
then they begin to re-appear almost imme-
diately, and grow very rapidly.
In the next place, these horns or antlers
have not, it would seem, as many prongs as
they used to have. Nowadays they number
but three or four: in old times, it is said,
they had many more. 1t is believed that,
as civilization extends, the deer feel less Sc.
cure, and have less to eat, and therefore
their horns do not grow so luxuriantly as

JAPANESE CHILDREN.-Of all that ia
pan holds, there is nothing that I like half
so we'll as the happy children. [ shall al.
ways remember their sloe.black eyes and
ruddy.brown faces with pleasure. I have
played battle door with the little maidens
iu the streets, and flown kites in the fields
with as happy set of boys as one could
wish to see. They have been my guides in
ny rambles, shown me where all the streams
and the ponds were, where the flowers lay
hid in the thicket, where the berries were
ripening on the hills; they have brought
ME shells from the ocean, and blossoms
from the field, presenting them with all the
modesty and less bashful grace than a
young American boy would do. We have
hunted the fox.boles together and looked
for the green and golden ducks among the
hedge. They have laughed at my broken
Japanese, and taught me better, and for a
happy, good.natured set of children, I will
turn out my little japanese friends against
the world. God bless the boys and girls of

formerly, when they had their 6ll of all they
wanted. Whether or not this explanation
be correct, it is said that the first king Of
Prussia killed stag which had sixty-siz
antlers-thirty.three on each horn.
A certain Lord Oxford, in England,
conceived an eccentric wish to drive four
stags in his phaton, "a sort of buggy in.
stead of two horses. Once, while driving
this singular team, pack of stag-hounds
took after him, and gave him fearful chase
The stags we're frantic with terror, and ran
like the wind; but fortunately were able to
reach an inn-stable, where they were accus.
toned to stop, before their pursuers could
overtake them.
Can we not learn lesson from the tim.
id deer? They have not the strength and
courage, the fangs and claws of lion, or
bear, or panther, or any one of the many
fierce enemies which beset its forest-home
how, then, can it escape destruction? All
do you not see what bright, quick, promi-
nent eyes, and long, bugle-shaped, sensi.
tive ears it has? And do you know that
its sense of smell is almost equal to that of
the fox hound? 1t can see, hear, and smell
its enemy from great distance; and if
once actually pursued, it is almost as fleet
as the wind, and has been known to run
ten hours
Some years ago, astag, after having been
chased long way by Lord Derby's hounds,
leaped clean over a gate which was eight

AlR.-'JoTdQn Hard Road 10 lT0teI.'
Some eighty years ago, on the tweaty-eghth OF June,
The British took very funny notion
They came into our harbor on alittle maroon,
Witha feet from 'tother side the ocean.
They pushed right down. for they thought they'd take th
town,
Without the least doubt or cavil,
But they very soon found when they got upon the ground
n Charleston Harbo- 4 hard road to travel.
They got so badly beat that you couldn't find the heet
Nor the road that the heroes had trodden-
For some had run away, and the rest wouldn't stay,
And some the 'toher side of Jordan.
Our Sullrans Island is very pretty place,
And our fddlers the best in creation,
Though they scatter in disgrace when they pretty face
Oroverhear a slight conversation.
But she's got the best fort any other place can SPORT
And 1t isn't made of sand banks or gravel;
And any one inclined, may soon make up his mind,
That Fort Moultrie is ahard road to travel,
With little steam frigate of four or five guns,
Half rs big as the Savannah steamer Gordon,
We beat sloops of war; of several hundred tons,
And send them to the 'tother side of Jordan.
Old Charleston is town Of very great renown,
For her good old timed hospitality;
But the stranger who shall dare her Palmetto boys to scare
Would add one to her bills of mortality.
And if a foreign foe should ever wish TO know,
How this ''parallelogram" to unrlvrl,
They will find that though her harbor is rough road torde
Her railroads are harder still TO travel
Let them send their biggest just quickly as they can
Old Scott or a second Lord Ra,rdon,
The brave Palmetto boys will take away their toys,
And send them back to-'tothcr side of Jordan
