The Blind Man and the Elephant.
A HISDoo FABLE.

II was six men OF Indostan,
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant,
.e Though oil of them were blind,
That each by observation
Night satisfy his mind.
The First approached the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side.
At once began to bawl:
"God bless me ?-but the Elephant
Is very like wall"
The Second, feeling OF the tusk,
Cried, 'Ho! What have we here
SO very round and smooth and sharp?
TO me tis mighty clear
This wonder of an Elephant
Isvery like spearl'
The Third approached the animal,
And, happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
Il see" quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like q snake!'
The Fourth reached out his eager hand,
And felt about the knee;
"What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain, "quoth he;
4Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like tree!"
The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said, "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
t Deny the fact who can,
This wonder of an Elephant
~ Is very like fan"
The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Than, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
u SCI" quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like a ropeg'
And SO those men Of Indostan,
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
p Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong
MORAL.
So, oft in theologic wars
The disputants ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant
& Not one OF them has seen

How the New York Herald Aids
the Rebels.
The war office has ordered the suppress.
sion Of the personals" of the New York
Ners. re-published by concert in tia Rich
mond Enquirer, on the ground that it was
means Of corresponding with the rebels
The Richmond Enquirer denies that the
personals" were ever thus used, but says
1.-The remsrks of the Ness as to using
the Herald or Tribune for purposes Of nior-
nation are strictly true. We will inform
the Neacs Of instances, now passed, where the
help column of the Herald was Of eminent
service. The expedition for the relief Of the
prisoners on Johnson's Island was planned,
organized and arranged through the help COL
umn Of the Herald, and that for the capture
Of the Chesapeake was also planned THROUGH
the same medium Of Communication. This
last and little act Of despotisn may inh,ct
some pecuniary lossiupeh the. NeScs, at the
expense of unnecessary sorrow and affection
to innocent persons; but it will not close
the great channel Of communication offered
by the Herald to all who choose 10 pay for
them. The Herald has rcaped more Of the
reward Of treason, and gwen more Md and
comfort to the enemy ofits country than
any ten papers in the United States. We
suggest to the Herald to employ Gen. Scott
to take and administer the oath to every
person Offering an advertisement as the only
wy to choke off the Confederate allies n
New York, Cincinnati, Oh 'cago, and other
places in the United States"
