only that they may know-it is curiosity;
that they may be known-it is vanity;
that they may sell their knowledge for
money or hOnOrs-it is greed; that they

To lose Its perpendicular,
And fall melancholy prey
To nothing In particular.
A MENAGERIE- MAN, who bought a
zebra from an individual who said that
he had Just arrived from Africa with the
animal, kept his purchase closely con-
fined in its cage for several weeks, until it
needed cleaning badly. Then he led it
down to the creek, and gave it good
scrubbing for half an hour. At the end
of that time the menagerie-man was sur
prised to perceive that the zebra's stripes
had entirely disappeared. And now, il

energetic mule, warranted to be kind in
single harness, and not to suffer from
home sickness because he can't get back
to Africa, such an article can be procured
