For the Democrat and Star.
Lyrics Of the Susquehanna--NO. a.

pY RAVEN.
Indulge me in this wandering notion,
NV muse has led to distant lands
Across the wide Atlantic Ocean
Where many an ancient ruin stands.
Where many grand old mountain rises
Where classic rivers roll along,
Where natures spirit oft baptizcs
The students pencil or his tongue.
On Hutberg's side, in old Lusatia,
a home was built called Berthelsdorf,
There lived noble ''Dei Gratia,
A man whose name was Zinsendorf
His wealth he wasted not in splendor
Nor courted he the worlds surprise,
It's charms he freely did surrender
To lay up treasures In the skies.
To him there fed from old Bohemia,
Because of Saxon cruel zeal,
And from their homes in old Morayia
To 'scape the tyrants iron heel
In Berthelsdorf they found seclusion,
And in their worship could be free
Without official spiy's intrusion
The mind enjoyed its liberty.
The arms of Zinsendorf extending
Around them all In Christian love,
And for them ease and wealth expending
He looked for recompense above.
But while by love his heart enlarging
He looks away to distant fields,
He feels the mission God is charging
Il. L u. ral1
Then far away across the ocean
To Pennsylvania ) wilds he S bound
This noble heart thrills with emotion;
His feet now touches freedom ground.
His brethren had site selected,
A paradise it was to them
And here home they have created,
They led the court to Bethlehem.
But when from travel-tOll he rested
His mission was not yet fulfilled
Until the Indian mind had tested
His loving heart could not be stllled.
Ger mountains thro' the wilds progressing
Atlength he reached our noble stream
And to the Red man bore the blessing
Width Christ the burden OF his theme.
Thus he lived, and thus he labored,
And thus endured incessant toll,
Feeling he was highly favored,
If from sin he led soul.
He sleeps in Jesus precious slumEer
From earth he's long since passed away
Him, with the sons of God we number,
To him this feeble tribute pays.

Advice to Skaters.

Having been made aware that the skating
season in this latitude has arrived, We give
the following advice to "greenies :"
]. Never try to skate in two directions at
once. This feat has often been attempted
by new beginners, but never successfully
1t always ends in sorrow
. Eat few apples for refreshment sake
while skating, and be sure to throw the
cores on the ice for fast skaters to break
their shins over. Fast skaters are your
natural enemies, and should not be allowed
to enjoy themselves peaceably.
3. Sit down occasionally, no matter where
right in the way of the rest of the party,
if you want to- There is no law to prevent
a new beginAer from sitting down whenever
he has an inclination to do SO.
4. Skate over all the small boys at once.
Knock EN- down. 1t makes great fun, and
they like it.
5. If you skate into hole in the ice take
it cody. Think how you would feel of the
water was boiling hot.
6. If your skates are too slippery buy a
new pair. Keep buying new pairs till you
find pair that are not slippery. This will
be fun for the hardware and fancy store
men. n. B-We don't expect pair of
skates for this notice, but if they are sent
we feel tolerably sure they will not be
thrown out of the window.
I. In sitting down, do it gradually. Don't
be too sudden; you may break the ice.
8. When you fall headlong, examine the
straps of your skates very carefully before
you get up. This will make everybody
think you fell because your skates was loose.
Beginners always do, you know.
6. Wear a heavy overcoat or cloak TIL
you get thorougly warmed up, and then
throw it off and let the wind cool you. This
will ensure you fine cold that will last you
as long as you live.
By following these rules strictly you may
learn to skate pretty well by the first Of
March-if the ice don't melt before thai
time

poLITENESS IN THE HIGHEST DEGREE
There is an anecdote told of an elephant in
the Jardin des Plantes, in Paris, which il
lustrates the exquisite sense of smell with
which elephants are endowed. The interior
of an elephant s trunk is lined with an i'm
mense olafactory nerve, by which the ami
NAL is able to detect the faintest odors at a
distance He finds that the orange flower
yields the most delicions of all perfumes,
and travellers state that in Japan elephants
may frequently be seen burying their trunks
in the foliage of orange trees to enjoy the
fragrance. The other day the large elephant
in the Jardin des Plantes suddenly ceased
picking up the bread and cake offered to him
by the visitors Of the garden, drew in his
trunk, and continued to follow along the
ratings of his enclosure lady who was car
rying in her hand boquet of orange flowers
The lady's attention was called to his move
ments, and she at once held the boquet with
in his reach. The animal seized the flowers,
inhaled the perfume with great delight for
several moments, and-here comes the least
credible portion of the story-again put
forth his trunk and restored the boquet to
the lady. One understands an elephant S
passion for sweet smells, but hardly com
prehends his manifestation of gallantry and
good breeding
