Barnum's last acquisition to lis Museum is
a girl seventeen years Of age, who is eighty
one inches high, and still growing. A wri-
ter in a New York paper describes her as fol-
lows:
'EThe giant boy-who is now at Barnum's,
is eight feet high, the girl surprising him by
an inch but as the height Of the softer sex
averages a much smaller figure than that OF
men, the contrast presented in the case of the
girl is still more marvellous. Her face, hel
arms, her fingers, her feet are in proper pro
portion to her great height-trenlendous III

long and its width exceeds the length ofmany

her size, is not remarkable, being three hun

And loved me, and blessed me, an innocent child
Another head rested where mine had before,
A little form laid in the cradle once more,
My hearts finest tendrils about him had grown,
when God took my brother and left me alone.
This cradle, my idol, by sin indebted,
Was borne from, to heaven,-an innocent child.
Sweet days Of my childhood ! Oh, never again
Shall rest be as pure or az perfect as thine:
But her. by my cradle, o, Father, 1 ray
That thou wilt be near me thro' life's thorny way
Though sorrows over me flow fierce and wild,
o. make me, my God, as an Innocent Child
