TERRIBLE SCENE IN A MENAGERIE.-
The ravenous tiger that munched his
keeper in London last year has just been
making another rumpus in an English
menagerie There was great consterna-
tion in the tent when it was discovered
that the animal had reached through the
bars of his cage and got hold of small
boy that had been poking him with a
sharp stick. The tiger was infurlated,
and was making strenuous efforts to draw
the lad through the bars of the cage.
The beast growled frightfully, and what
with the pitiful cries of the boy, the
shouts of men, and the screams of the
half fainting women, the scene was one
of the most terrible description. Some
men ran for hot irons, while others beat
the beast with their sticks and umbrel-
las, and did all they could to draw the
brute from its helpless victim. Ulti-
mately, after a severe mauling, the ami
NAL relinquished its prey, and the boy,
faint through loss of blood from the in
juries he had received, was borne away
through the crowd. His wounds being
dressed, appeared to be of a serious ma
ture, though not likely to prove fatal
The brute seems to have caught its vic
tim just below the elbow and tore a deeI
lump of flesh right down the forearm t.

LESSONS OF LIFE.-Of the lessons
that humanity has to learn, the hardest
is to learn to wait. Not to wait with
folded hands that claim life's prizes
without previous efforts, but have strug-
gled and crowded the slow years with
trial, see no result as efforts seem to
warrant-nay, perhaps, disaster instead.
To stand firm at such crisis of exls-
tence, to preserve ones self-polse and
self-respect, not to lose hold or relax eff
fort, this is greatness, whether achieved
by man or woman-Whether the eye OF
the world notes it, or it is recorded in
the book, which the light of eternity
shall alone make clear to vision. Those
who stand on the high places of the
earth understand not what necessity,
what suffering means. They know not
what it is to noble mind to be obliged,
like the worms, to crawl upon the earth
for nourishment, because it has not the
strength to endure famine. Life moves
around them with SO much grace, splen-
dor and beauty; they drink life's sweet
est wine, and dance to charming in
! toxication. They find nothing within
them which can enable them to under
stand the real suffering of the poor
they love only themselves, and look al
mankind only in their own narrow c'rcle

PAINLESS DEATH.-Mere dying, it is
probable, never is painful, but the cir
cumstances that attend death sometimes
are very painful yet men suffer as
much in sicknesses from which they re-
cover as they do in those that terminate
fatally. A strictly natural death would
make no more impression on a man than
was made on him by his birth Nature
is not such blunderer as to make the
inevitable a source of pain that can do
no good. What is disagreeable in dying
is the result of the violation of Nature s
laws. To die is simply to sleep. death
being the rounding of life, as Shakespeare
says. To the properly constituted mind
death is no more horrible than sleep ;
but the properly constituted mind has
not yet been found Even those who
die calmly or gladly do SO because they
have found life a Gordian knot, which
can be cut only by the dart of Death,
and not because they have philosophic-
ally convinced themselves that it is a
matter of no moment. Be a man the
most confirmed of believers, or the most
confirmed of unbelievers, he must have
some doubt-and where there is doubt
be it ever so small, there must be fear
So that when one departs in his sleel
he avoids the last perplexity, that which
waits on the death-bed of the philoso
pher-which was felt by Adam ant
which will be felt by the last Of Adam
descendants. Human egotism has no
yet reached to that point in which dealt
can be matter of absolute indifference
and probably it will never reach it.

PRoF. AGAssIZ AFTER THE DARWINI-
ANs.-Prof. Agassiz having led off in
square denial of the Darwinian theory
of evolution, it is now expected that
there will be an animated contest be-
tween the scientists who arc ranged on
different sides of the question.
The Darwinians hold that man has
come about by degrees, and step by step.
First there was fish. then snake,
then a frog. A company of frogs hav-
ing strayed into the forest developed into
monkeys, then into orang-outangs, then
| into gorillas, then into bushmen, negroes.
savages, out of which finally came white
men.
Agassiz declares this to be all non-
sense. Here are your fish, he says; let
me see you develop one of them into a
snake, or snake into frog, or a frog
into monkey, or monkey into man.
| 1t can't be done. Nobody ever found
case, even in the geological strata of the
/ globe, where there is any sign of its hav-
ing been done.
| We rather think that Agassiz has the
best of Darwin in this business. Could
a strawberry plant be developed into an
apple tree? Could cornstalk be devei-
oped into an oak? Could lead be deyel-
oped into gold, or tin into silver?
| 1 Everything, every creature, has its ap-
pointed bounds beyond which it cannot
pass. A pig cannot be developed into
horse, nor can an elephant be deteri-
Grated into a musquito
