naturalist, ola beaver, u; no less Won
derful than the above he. declares
that he saw a beaver weeping over
the crown Of an old. hat. Soon an
other beaver approached it,. and she
cried more piteousfy than the first !;
then number of young beavers, at
tracted by their sobs, came running
up, and they all crie}l too. He ac-
counts for this by saying that the
hat being made Of beaver, the ami
mails had evidently recognized in it
the skin of one of their own kindred.

this very hat was not o.them the sad

Captein Parry tells a story of a
Polar pear, which puts the instinct of
this animal bsyopdall doubt; he had
given it to one Of his sailors, who,
with his small capital, started show
man, and having taught the bear to
dance, used to take it about the streets.
The sailor afterwards assured Captain
Parry that he could never get the

counts for this by saying that as
" Bears Grease" was sold only at

But pray that, whenthe tempests breath
Shall liercely sweep my way about.

That friends shall never be estranGed
But for the power OF loving, SO

Leave faith and hope till life is passed
And leave my hearts best impulses
Fresh and unipiiing to the last.
