JIM SMITHS MEyAGERIE.

a party of boys at Jim Smiths house
were playing game called menagerie.
All the boys who never played it before
were turned into the hall, and then be-
ing called into the sitting room one by
one, were asked to tell one by one wlha,
particular animal they wished most to
see. One boy wished to see hippo
potamus, another an elephant, Others
tigers and lions but they were one and
all led up to the lookins-glass and point
ed to their own reflection as the animal
they had expressed a desire to see.
This game the boys thought very fun
ny; and they laughed heartily at the
last boy who was admitted into the
menagerie for he had asked to see a
monkey, and looked very much "taken
down when showed his own self.
"Out here is old drunken Tom Cath
bone" said one Of the boys looking
from the window; ''let's call him in,
and let him have peep at an ugly
looking animal" "
SO poor old Tom; the drunkard, was
called into the room, and told to tell
what animal he wanted to see:
ooh show me the worst looking
wild beast you've got said he.
Come, show me the beast -
"All right, then !" said the boys, and
they pushed Tcm right in front of the
iooking-glass. He stood for moment
looking into the glass with silly drunk
ards smile but presently such look
of horror and sorrow passed over his
face, that the laughter Of the boys was
checked and they could not help but
pity him as he sank into chair and
covered his face with his hands.
''We didn't mean to hurt your feel
ings," said Jim. 1--WE did the same
thing to all the boys. And just before
you came in Dick Willoughby asked to
see a monkey: : and we showed him
himself
But the poor fellow looked up with
look in his bleared eyes, and
said, I am worse than beast worse
than a beast -
And after he had left them, the boys
watched poor old Tom going down the
street, and from their hearts they pitied
him; and 50 do we. And much we
hope that none of the dear boys whom
we now know and love may ever come
to be such as he is to-day ---Selectsd.

Mrs. Harvey at once. Listen to what
she says. She is lady Of intelligence
and talks sense. 4. Lincoln" The
Secretary was adverse. Mr.. Lincoln
was tormentea with applications for
positions, promotions and pardons.
During a subsequent call "every mus
Gle in his face seemed to contract, then
suddenly to expand. As he opened his
mouth you could almost hear them snap
as he said, You assume to know more
than [, and closed his mouth as if he
expected never to open it again ; sort
Of slammed it to-" Argument, entrea-
ty and the assurance that yielding to
to the petitioners request ''would make
him glad as long as he lived drew
from him with look of sadness not to
be forgotten the remark Il shall never
be glad any more" The order was at
last given, after much anxiety with
what excellent results we all know.
1t is rarely that lecture offers SO
many tempting passages as this one.
Tempting, not on account of their elo-
quence, but for beautiful and simple
statements Of facts which cannot be
found elsewhere. Probably no life Of
Lincoln contains them, and no synop-
Sis can do justice. The human nature,
as well as the beautiful traits in Mr..
lincoln . character, are brought out
clear J and instructlvely. In pleasing
contrast with the attempts made by
some women after masculine stvle in
writing and delivery is Mrs. Haryey's
womanly manner. Seated, she reads
(morc from memory than from manu-
scripts, We suspect), her narrative.
Saying no word which has not been
weighed and found sufficient, she fur
nishes a most refreshing relief from the
tedious haranguers who 50 often feel
called upon to weary audiences.
The fact that the receipts from these
efforts are applied to one Of the many
benevolent undertakings which Mrs
Harvey always has in hand, gives even
additional interest.

An Arab Tradition.

This tradition, which I tell you,"
said Reis Hassein, ''is many centuries
cid. It states. that there was in para
disc temple built of precious stones.
Man dared not utter its splendors
Deep in the midst Of The palms of Eden
it stood; angel built-a dazzling sane
tuary. Our first parents sang their
vesper songs in the twilight shadows of
its courts for there were pillared halls,
and cloisters of emerald and pearl, where
fountains sprang alott in the silent
noon; ard .eng, luminous vistas, where,
hand in hand, those two first lovers
walked in sinless beauty. Then there
were pinnacles and domes of sapphire,
blazing in the sunlight by day, and
glittering in the starlight by night.
From court and terrace; waters welled
out, aud iris crested cascades fell down
to cool shady dclls of asphodel below
for the temple was placed far within
the prlvacies of that valley of Eden,
whence the four rivers flowed eastward.
However, sad to relate upon the day
that Adam fell this glorious pie was
shattered into million fragments, and
sown broadcast over all the earth.
These fragments We now light upon
and gather up with cost and care, and
call them rubies, eneralds; sapphires,
and diamonds; but they are after all,
only the splinters Of that primeyal pal
ace. The sunset splendors and the di-
adems of princes, the Milky Way i'll
the heavens and the spray that spark
les in the ENHANCEMENT Of a maiden's
hair, are, alike, but the costly dust of
that lost sanctuary-the sad remem-
brances Of a departed Eden. '-Orer-
land Monthly for Nay.
