ssSeeing the Elephant"

A couple of lads in Portugal City climbed
a tree outside the tent to get q ''dead head"
view Of Forepaugh's circus. What came OF
it, the Register tells as follows:
Gas soon as the elephant was through
with. in the ring, the managers brought him
out and hitchcd him to the identical tree, from
the limbs of which the lads were vicwing tho
circus To "a boy up in tree" this thing
looked little out of order, but they kept as
quiet as death, fearing that they would either
lose the closing views of the performance,
or be the subjects of the displeasure OF the
circus man, if he should discover them 'dead
headng' it to his show. In duo time the
performance closed, the crowd dispersed, and,
horror upon horrors, the keeper OF the AMI
mails now added to the perils of their situa-
ton by hitching two smaller elephants and
calel to the same tree Our lads now Glscov-
erred that thew were in for a night OF 1T, as
all hands had left, excepting only themselves
and the animals on guard below AZ nope
Of cscane was now cut off. About this time,
Romeo concluded to investigate matters
| above him and with his trunk commenced
tr;mmino out the smaller branches. Our
bovs commenced climbing also, until they
had rot above his reach and now the camel
took ND the investigation, and poking his
uelv n,ur up among the limbs, he drove the
No. 10 The uppcrmost branches Of the tree,
where thew were discovered at day break, by
their anxious parents, who had been search
ino for them in vain all night, tceterln and
tossed about like blackbirds on the top OF @
rick stalk in windy day. The boys saw
more Of these animals than all the rest OF
the boys in town, and s'for n0th'ns, TOO;
and if they don't remember the time tor the
balance Of their natural days when they "sat
IN" with Romeo, then we miss our guess
rho RI nhrase, oseeing the elephant was to
them a practical application, which they will
always remember

Voices of Grace.

It is marvellous and beautiful to observe
how various arc the voices of free grace. I'll
am thirsty" says one, " Come to the waters"
she cries. 81 am hungry" says another
Then cat that which is good, 'S@shc says, and
let your soul delight itself in fairness" I" But
I am poor, and have nothing to buy with. =
3. Come, buy wine and milk without money
and without price" /" We are weary" sigh
the laborers in the sun beaten fields 6 Come
unto me- breathes her answer, like breeze
from the waters, !" and | will give YOU rest :
g Cast thy burden upon the Lord ard He will
sustain thee she whispers to the pilgrim
ready to faint on the highway. Behold the
Fountain she cries to the guilty; the
Fountain open for sin and uncleanllness. 10
the lost she cries, (" I am the Way to the
ignorant. al am the TRUTH to the dying
6 am the Life" How large her welcome
to the sinner, how soothing her consultations
to the mourner, how inspiring her tones to
him that is faint at heart! There is no d.
sease for which she has nota remedy, no want
fer which she has not a supply; and every
one who applies to her shall confess at length
= It is enough; am blessed as If all the
methods and riches Of grace were for me

Be a Woman.

OFT I've heard the gentle mother,
AS the twilight hours began,
Pleading with son on duty,
Urging him to be a man.
But unto her blue-eyed daughter,
Though with loves words quite as ready
Points she out the other duty,
"strive, my dear to be lady,"
What's q lady? Is it something
Made of hoops, and silks, and airs,
Used to decorate the parlor,
Like the fancy rugs and chairs?
Is it one that wastes on novels
Every feeling that is human
If tits this to be lady,
IT'S not this to be woman.
Mother then, unto your daughter
Speak of something higher far,
Than to be mere fashions lady
'sWoman " is the brighter star,
If We, inyour strong affection,
Urge your son to be a true man,
Urge your daughter no less stronger
To arise and be woman.
Yes, woman-brightest model
Of that light and perfect beauty,
Where the mind, and soul, and body,
Blend to work out life's great duty
Be woman-naught is higher
On the gilded list of fame;
On the catalogue Of virtue
There's no brighter, holier name.
Be woman-on to duty
Raise the world from all that's low;
Place high in the social heaven
Virtues fair and radiant bowl E
Lend thy influence to each effort
That shall raise our nature human;
Be not fashions gilded lady
Be brave, wholcsouled, true woman.

Lesca has failed three times to make his way
to Puerto Principe, the insurgents each time
having rspulsed him with heavy loss, before
