ANIMAL AFFECTION New York
World thus describes the conduct of Bar
Dum's elephants, Jeanette and Gypsy, on
their escape from the late copfagration:
- They had escaped the flames, roaring
and believing behind them, and ran in their
clumsy, lnng-reachlng fashion, out into the
street. There they subsidized into a condi-
ton more resembling their usually calmly
placid equanimlty, and proceeded toward
Third avenue. When near the corner of the
block they were joined by one of their keep
ers, who, not daring to attempt leading
them back the way they had come, guided
them up the avenue and through Fifteenth
street to Irving Place. Here they were
picketed, and for some time remained
tranquil Soon, however, their trunks were
raised IN the air, and their curious screams
frightened all listeners. Their keeper left
them. went toward the burning building,
and returned with a dog which had been ac-
customed to play about them The ami
NAL ran up to the two elephants. leaping
and wagging not alone his tail, but the
" hole hinder part OF his body. Rubbing
against the huge legs, which were about the
same size of his own body, he gamboled
around them with great apparent glee at
again seeing bis playmates. Nor did the
elephants seem less delighted; their small
keen eyes looked kindly upon him, their
feet were moved cautiously le some injury
should be unwittingly nflcted, and every
now and then their trunks would gracefully
describe a long sweeping circle, and softly
stroke the dog. Near them was tethered
the single camel which had been brought
out from the fiery furnace, and before long
the three surviving animals of the large
menagerie were led away to place where
the atmosphere was better suited to theil
comfort then y as the cold. keen air of a
winter morning

The jolly Old PedagOgue.

Twas jolly old pedagogue, long ago,
Tall and slender, and sallow and dry;
His form was bent, and his gait was slow,
His long, thin hair was as white snow,
But wonderful twinkle shone in his eye;
And he sang every night as he went to bed,
"Let us be happy down here below;
The living should live, though the dead be dead"
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
He taught his scholars the rule of three,
Writing, and reading, and history, too;
He took the little ones up on his knee,
For kind old heart in his breast had he,
And the wants of the littlest child he knew;
" Learn while you're young" he often said,
There is much to enjoy, down here below;
Life for the living, and rest for the deadp
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
With the stupidest boys he was kind and COOL
Speaking only in gentlest tones;
The rod was hardly known in his school
Whipping to him was barbarous rule,
And too hard work for his poor old bones;
Beside, it was painful, he sometimes said
" We should make life pleasant, down here below
The living need charity more than the dead"
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
He lived in tn e house by the hawthorn lane,
With roses and woodbine over the door;
His rooms were quiet, and neat, and PLAN,
But a spirit of comfort held there reign,
And made him forget he was old and poor;
az need SO little" he often said
And my friends and relatives here below
Won't ltigate over me when L am dead,
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
But the pleasantest times that he had, of all
Were the socable hours he used to pass,
With his chair tipped back to a neighbours wall,
Making an unceremonious call,
Over pipe and friendly glass;
This was the finest pleasure, he said,
OF the many he tasted, he below;
''Who has cronles, had better be dead"
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
Then the jolly old pedagogue's wrinkled face
Melted all over in sunshiny smiles;
He stirred his glass with an old school grace,
Chuckled, ana slipped, and prattled apace,
Till the house grew merry, from cellar to tiles;
I'm pretty DID, old man, he gently SAID,
al have fingered long while, here below;
But my heart is fresh il my youth is fedl"
SAID the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
He smoked his pipe in the balmy air,
Every night when he went down,
While the soft wind played in his silyery hair,
Leaving his tenderest kisses there,
On the jolly old pedagogue's jolly old crown;
And, feeling the kisses, he smiled, and said,
Twas glorious world down here belsw;
" Why wait for happiness till we are dead?2
Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.
He sat at his door, one midsummer night
After thu sun had sunk in the west,
And the lingering beams ofgolden light
Made his kindly old face look warm and bright,
While the odorous niEht-Wind whispered Rest
Gently, gently, he bowed his head
There angels waiting for him l know;
He was sure of happiness, living or dead,
This jolly Old pedasogue, long agol

needful for them to possess, in time they
can gradually be allowed to indulge their
own fancies, always making them suffer
for any misspent money. BY giving
them a monthly sum to cover the needful
small expenditures, you will teach them
how to spend money, induce early in life
habit of calculation and give them an
art for which so many now mourn in
sackcloth and ashes, viz, the art of living
within their means. Surely this is a
branch of education which is quite as es-
sential as a knowledge of Latin. French
or algebra, but it is frequently neglected,
and the results of the neglect cannot be
eckoned for they extend into an eternity

The Preachers BusINEss-To the
question what is the preachers bust

1t is to guide men into right living. 1t

that the hearers shall not only hold cor

them home and through the week. See in
how many different forms the choice

Consider the man in his business ; its sub
tie temptat ions to dishonesty; its contact
with men, that may be sincere or false,
genial or frosty, helpful or selfish see
how he is tried by the responsibilities of
wealth or the hardships OF poverty. Think
of this same man as a husband and a
father, as a citizen and a neighbor in his
relations with his servants, with those who
/ hate and those who love him. He is

/ different POSITIONS and with each comes
Its own possibility Of moral success or

They need inspiration in lines Of practical

A SCRAP FROM Our LETTER-BAG.-
Essentials of SucceSS.-No man can afford
to be without true success in life. 1t is
useless to sit idly down and pine, because
one has not the facilities of great mind,
great fortune of honored friends to give
him position and influence. lie nine cases
out of ten the very boon craved, if be-
slowed, would be a care and a curse
robblng life of its simulants, instead of
bringing looked-for enjoyment. Achieve
ment increase, is the law Of life. And
it is only he who sleeps in Incidence, pow
erty, ignorance, or vice who complains,
d" There is no room, no work for me-"
There are fields of usefulness abundant
for every man of strong will and earnest
purpose, and his value will be estimated
by the quality of his achievements. The
power to concentrate the energy of ones
nature upon given object, is one Of the
essential elements of success. Like all
other powers, it varies in native strength,
but is always susceptible of culture, No
great work has ever been accomplished, no
high aim ever been realized, without, for
the time, absorbing the power and vigor of
the mind. Valuable thoughts have their
birth through labor and pain. And all
things of worth demand the concecration
of mans best forces Perseverance in that
which is first attempted, until effort is
rewarded with ripe success, is no less i'm
portant. Every worthy project has en-
countered opposition. For that which is
genuine, whatever it be, the true coin
must be paid. To be unrivaled in success,
man must also have true courage, and
What he dares to dream Of,
Dare to do
The world is not prodigal of her favor.
Merit is not sought out in seclusion, and
rewarded it must stand in conscious
strength, and bear the test of critlci sm
before the world conmends. Every man
may have some measure Of success bu
he must see to it that the tendencies o
his character are onward, in high and pure
channels, that natures gifts are strength
ened or restrained to subserve their tru
purpose, giving dignity to man and m G

An altar carved in master hands;
The lOveliest forms of leaf and flower

Twined with the linden-tassel blows

The freshness and fair promise sweet
Of all June mornings in it meet.
But quainter emblems, curves so fair,
The left side of the altar share;
A wreath festooDed of seed capsules,
Where loving skill held graver's tools.

WHERE THE Soil is not good and the land
is constantly pastured. it is but reasonable
to suppose that fertility must decline, and
some measure must be adopted to keep it
rich enough to produce the requisite amount
of grass The best manures for old pas
lures are those that can be applied in liquid
form. But few farmers have the necessary
implements for distributing such fertilizers /;
therefore the next best should be used,
which is undoubtedly a wel!-decomposed

Unpleasant Discovery by an Editor.

The publishers of the Petersburg
(Va.) Appeal recently purchased and
united with their paper the Lnder, pub
lished in the same city, and few days
after Mai. Venable, a member OF the
purchasing firm, began an examination
of the material in the latter Office, with
view to disposing of what was not
needed. One result is thus told by the
Appeai: " His attention was called to
a large marble slab, used as an imposing
stone, and upon examining it he found
on the under side the inscription 1--WE
omit names) Sacred to the memory
of - youngest daughter of - and
-, born July 26, 1899. Died 30th
October, 1916, aged seventeen years,
three months and four days. This was
followed by the fourteenth and fifteenth
verses of the seventh chapter of Revela-
tons. Maj. Venable recognized the
name as that of very near young lady
relative, whom he remembered while
living. Upon making inquiries no one
could give him any information as to
how the slab was obtained or when it
was brought into the Office.

A Souare Joke on the LAWYERS.

Rickel was telling us the other day a
good joke on the legal profession. In
a German settlement, no matter where,
he had been called on suit before a
Justice. in which Schneider (but that is
not his name) was party. The case
was decided against Schneider, and the
old man was naturally detected, dis
couraged and disconsolate, and sat in
the midst of the crowd with his head
between his hands. The conversation
run on law, and some one described a
picture representing the COW with the
plaintiff Juggling at the horns and the
defendant pulling the tail, while law
yer on each side is drawing the milk.
This aroused Schneider, and he said :
"Oh. dat is holdings, know Won besser
ding as dat on der lawyers. " What is
it? what is it?" eagerly cried the
listeners. And he told them: There
was once man so sick he thought he
must die, and he sent for two lawyers
that he might have one on each side
and die like Jesus Christ. West Union

The Rev. Newman Hall Sues for q
Divorce.

Very many persons will regret, though
there are many who will not be sur
prised, to learn that the Rev. Newman
Hall has been compelled to appear in
the Divorce Court. This estimable
gentleman has been sorely tried in his
domestic life. His marriage was rather
romantic one, and arose out of an at.
tacAment which his wife formed for
him while he was acting as her tutor
She was the daughter of Scotch gen.
tleman, well-known in the religious
world, and whose life Mr.. Hall after
ward wrote. Those who knew husband
and wife were astonished at the admit
rable manner in which he conducted
himself toward lady whose capricious
and uncertain temper seemed almost to
suggest mental rather than moral de-
feet. Some years ago it was said Mr..
Hall bore this last injury patiently; but
it would seem that some fresh wrong
had been committed, and he has now
filed petition in the Divorce Court, al
leRing adultery on the part of his wife
with man named Richardson Boston
