A Kentucky paper gives the following
account Of a huge infant named Dero
Edward Chambers, born two years and
a half ago, in Barren county, in that
State; When about three months old
he began to feshen, and soon attracted
the serious attention of his parents and
immediate friends. His accumulation
Of fat has been uninterrupted, and he
exhibits an obesity of huge aldermanic
proportions. We visited him and made
q careful examination and measure
ment, which we give to the curious pub
lie. His parents are the reverse Of their
infantile representative, so far as physi.
cal proportion is concerned The father,
Smith Z. Chambers, is a delicate, spare
made man, of not vigorous look, and
weighs l27 pounds; the mother is small,
delieately built, and weighs la pounds.
Dero, the young giant, stands in perpeu-
dicular measurement, 81 inches. The

what a Real Lady Never Does

From Pomeroy's Democrat
The woman who is more or less green
or snobbish borrows clothes, ribbons,
jewelry and bonnets with which to dress
The genuine lady never is guilty of
such a degradation. The high-toned
woman is above having articles of dress
or jewelry in common with another; she
never will run to borrow new gloves, new
ribbons, new cloaks, shawls and other
articles Of apparel with which to cut a
dash. To dress a mud-lark in yellow
feathers does not make a canary, nor
will dressing a woman in borrowed
plumage transform her into a lady.
Men seldom display such weaknesses.
The real gentleman never will appear in
borrowed articles Of dress or jewelry
Nor will the woman who has real pride
Of character so cheaper herself as to
appear in goods not her own.
A gentleman friend of ours, who loves
his wife dearly, was constantly buying
for her costly and beautiful articles. He
filed her lap with such little things as
he saw from time to time which he
thought would please her. She lived in
boarding house and was very popular.
One day her husband noticed that she
was without articles which he had
bought her short time before. He be-
gan to inquire and learned that her land
lady had borrowed her furs to wear to
market; that her sister had .bor-
rowed of her jewelry and other
choice articles to wear to a party;
that a lady had borrowed her new bon
net to wear on the street, and that
scarcely one of the beautiful articles he
had bought for his wife because he loved
her and wished her to have them was in
her possession. Whoever should see her
in company even with her own articles
on her person would think they were
borrowed of those to whom she had
loaned them rather than to lose their
friendship.
As the articles were returned to their
owner some Of them torn, broken,
soiled and damaged, like a sensible
man he threw them into the fire, and
told his wife that if she did not love him
enough to keep for her own use such
ornaments as he bought FOR her alone,
she might buy for herself hereafter
There is no difference between a bor-
rover and beggar, except the borrower
is the most self.h of the two, and the
least entitled to respect.

THE QUERY.

Sits the sphinx beside me daily.
Whether be sad or gayly
Live my life. Attend" she cries
Looks me through with solemn eyes;
Thou must answer, answer this:
What the sum of woe and bliss?
What is life?"
In all gladness, through all pain,
Whether peace or passion reign,
Turn my thoughts to things of earth
Or to themes of heavenly birth,
Still bear that undertone.
Like the ocean distant moan,
"What is life?"
Once thought that might trance her
Into silence by an answer;
Thought that could find the reason.
Icould meas ure time and season,
/ could sound the depths she stirred,
l could compass with a word
What is lifel

On the secret that she keeps
Close within her stony lips.
Which but open to their task,
