Scmblance of a man; but in intelligence,

deserves mention in connection with the
fiIshirst beasts. A correspondent recent

ture on his launches He was entirely
naked indcscrbably filthy, and when the
keeper told him to get ap, he crouched
like dog and slunk away into corner,
where he busted himself in breaking
straw in fine bits and chewing it, He
prefers filth ofal kinds to anything whole
some for food, detecting its presence with
the keenness of jackal. Once a week
4 rope is tied about his waist and he is
taken TO neighhoring creek, where the
keeper cleans him as best he can with
broom. About nine years ago clothing
could be kept on him by constant watch
ing, but he tiaaly became utterly uncon-
trolIable. and would tear his garments
into shreds, and eat them. During the
winter he sits and shi vers in tue cold,
but will not submit TO any covering, aud
he has consequently been badly frozeu.-
He is never sick, aud his body is remark
ably healthy ami muscular in appearance.
He is twenty-nine years old, and his pa
rents are living, but they are toe poor to
provide for him, or procure medical or
scientific treatment for him.

but after that he gradually grows feeble.
his teeth fill him, and he grows "cub-

tremendous buffalo he prowls around
the cattle krawls, and snatches lamb or
a kid Just as he did when he set out with
his parents, nearly thirty years before.
A woman or child at nj ght shares the

decline more and more, till the mighty
lion grows lean and NANCY, and crawls

PRAYER. God does nothing but in an
swer to prayer. Every new victory which
soul gains is the effect of new prayer.
On every occasion of uneasiness we should
retire to pray, that we may give place to
the grace and light Of God, and then
form our resolutions, without being in
any pain about what success they may
