Of animals ever before exhibited.
Old Lady-You don't say. Have you
any elephants?
Ball-We have, madam, six elephants;
but these constitute comparatively un-
important part of the show. We have
living specimens Of bipeds and quadru-
peds, who roamed over the earth, not
only in the antediluvian, but also in the
pliocene and postmiocens periods, EN-
bracing the megatherium, with six legs
and two tails; the ichthyosaurus, with
four eyes and three tails; the gyasticus,
with no eyes, two noses and four tails;
the plessosarus, resembling Satan in
shape, which spits fire and breathes sui
phur, and many other species too nu-
merous to mention. We also have q
pious lawyer.
Old Lady-Well, declare.
Ball-But, madam, the greatest curl
osity by far Of our exhibition is learned
and classical educated monkey, who was
brought up Mohammedan priest in the
mysterious regions Of the Great Desert
OF Sahara. This monkey talks with

| think till weary with thinking,
Said the sadie eyed Ilindoo king,
And see but shadows around me
Illusion in everything.
How knowest thou aught of God,
Or His favor or His wrath?
Can the little fish toll what the lion thinks,
Or map out the eagles path?
Can the fnito the infinite search?
Did the blind discover the stars?
Is the thought that / think thought.
Or a throb of the brain in its bars?
For aught that the eye can discern,
Your tod is what you think good.
Yourself flashed back from the glass,
When the light pours on it in food.
You preach to me to be just;
And this is His realm you say, 4
And the good are dying of hunger. tas
And the bad gorge every day.
You say that He loveth mercy.
And the famine is not yet gone;
That he hateth the shedder Of blood
And he slayeth us every one.
You say that my soul shall live,
That the spirit can never die
If he were content when was not,
Why not when have passed byy
You say must have n meaning;
SO must dung, and its meaning is flowers.
What if our souls are but nurture
For lives that are greater than oursY
When the Ash swms out of the water,
When the bird scars out of the blue.
Mans thought may transcend mans knowl-
edge,

A Rtuxly Prank.

A very characteristic anecdote is re-
lated Of Charles XIV, late King OF
Sweden. As is known, he treated all
rules Of etiquette with the utmost levity,
and was never happier than when he
could pass himself off as some other per-
son. His favorite place of residence
was his castle, called Ulriksdale, situated
in the environs of Stockholm. Here he
passed his summers, and not unfrequent-
ly part of the winter. One day alone,
and dressed in simple summer cos
tune, he took walk in his park, which
was always opened to visitors. Here
he encountered family of strangers
who, not recognizing the King, walked
up to him and asked if it were
permitted to visit the castle. Certain
iy," replied the King, "be so good as to
follow me-" And be conducted them
from hall to hall, explaining everything
in manner to do credit to the most
volubla cicerone. The strangers were
intelligent andzpleased the King. who
pleased them in. his turn At the mo-
ment Of separation they begged him to
tell them in what manner they could
show their gratitude. II like photo
graphs very much. said the King. Let
US change portraits" They agreed to
this. and in the evening, when the stran-
gers returned to their hotel, they found
a large photographic portrait awaiting
them, at the foot of which was written
the words, From Charles XIV, King oil
Sweden.
